## **Objectives**

## **Governance**

## **Reserves**
The amount of cash reserves remaining at the end of any given financial year will be determined solely by the Trustees of the Belleville Parent Teachers Association (Belleville PTA).
Belleville PTA seeks to support Belleville School by providing both financial and practical assistance to projects identified by the Trustees and, in consultation with the Headmaster, recognised as valuable causes.
The PTA’s approach is always mindful of the need to maintain a positive level of reserves to ensure long-term sustainability. All funds received by the PTA, after deducting necessary expenses, are either transferred to the school to enable activities or resources that directly benefit Belleville Primary staff and pupils, or retained as part of our commitment to funding larger, long-term projects that advance the school’s mission and adhere to the objectives set out in our constitution.
The reserves as at 31 August 2025 were **£78,421** (at 31 August 2024: £97,315) as shown in the accounts.
A medium-term commitment was entered into during the 2024 financial year between the Belleville Parent Teachers Association and the Q1 Trust for an interest free loan of £120,000 to be paid back over three years. The purpose of this loan was to allow the works to resurface the playground surfaces to be carried out ahead of the funds being raised by the Belleville PTA. This commitment was fully repaid in the year ended 31 August 2025.
Short term commitments totalling £50,000 were entered into by the outgoing PTA for the following items:
- Contribution to staffroom refurbishment
- Meteor playground lighting (subject to sourcing appropriate lighting given planning restrictions)
- Sports equipment
- Classroom resources
- Replacement trestle tables.
The level of reserves leaves sufficient available reserves to support Belleville School before the next year fundraising. The trustees are satisfied that the PTA has adequate financial resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future and to continue to support Belleville school.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Belleville Parents and Teachers Association**
I report on the accounts for the Trust for the year ended 31[st] August 2024.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
## **It is my responsibility to:**
1. Examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act)
2. To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act)
3. To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of the independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiners’ statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respects the requirements
- . To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
- a. To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
