## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period**
**From 10/3/23 To 5/4/23**
**Charity name: Danesfield Parents Association**
## **Charity registration number: 1198200**
## **Objectives and Activities**
## **Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document**
To advance the education of pupils in Danesfield manor school in particular by: developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school; engaging in activities or providing facilities, finance, or equipment that supports the school in the advancement of the education of the pupils
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.
Danesfield Parents Association runs fund raising events such as children’s discos, children and adults summer and winter fairs, and an annual adults-only summer part. Funds raised from these events are used to purchase equipment or services to support the school in the advancement of the education and health and wellbeing of the pupils
## **Objectives**
Our objectives are set to reflect our educational aims and the ethos of the School. It is important to us that we maintain and enhance the academic success of the School. This objective is, however, set in the context of the broader goals we set for the School and its pupils. In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Governors have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance.
Our key objectives for the year were:
- to support the school and children by co-funding a new outdoor play facility, encouraging team work and healthy exercise, developing gross motor skills and planning capabilities, and the value of sharing
- to purchase new audio/video equipment to enable the school to:
- record plays and assemblies, so that parents who are unable to attend in person may see their children thrive
- allow children to see themselves in their plays and assemblies
- utilise the slow motion features of the equipment to record high-speed science experiments and review these with the children
- support children who wish to develop their skills in videography
- To deliver one school disco per term to further develop the children’s social skills
- To deliver a summer and winter fair, to encourage the whole school to socialise
- To deliver an adults-only Summer party, enabling parents/carers of all year groups to socialise, further developing the school’s social agenda
- To ensure that all events be designed to raise funds, where possible, and to at least break-even, though advanced budgeting and tight controls over potential exposure
