The objects of the Association are to advance the education of pupils attending St Clement Danes School, by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for education at the school not normally provided by the local authority. The policy of the Association continues to be to raise funds and invite & receive contributions to be applied for the benefit of the school and its pupils. The Association is run by volunteers and has no employees. Surplus funds are distributed to the school to meet expenditure requirements that have been identified with the guidance & agreement of the Headteacher & senior teaching staff, and which have been authorised by the Association’s Committee. ## **The trustees who served during the year were:** T Sutherland – Headteacher S O’Dwyer – Chair (until 9[th] June 2025) I Warde – Chair (from 9[th] June 2025) K Deeley – Treasurer (until 27[th] May 2025) N Thomson – Treasurer (from 27[th] May 2025) v1.0 19[th] May 2026 Page 3 of 9 St Clement Danes Parents Association ## **Objectives & Activities** The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Association should undertake. The Association subscribes to membership of Parentkind, an organisation representing parent teacher associations with membership of approximately 12,000. The cost per annum in 2025 was £162 & provides, amongst other services, trustee insurance. It is the policy of the Association to retain funds to meet the costs of future projects for the benefit of the school & its pupils as they arise. As at the 31[st] July 2025 the reserves were £19,271 (2024: £23,569). During the year to 31[st] July 2025 the trustees have continued to actively reduce the level of reserves held for the future, in favour of increasing the association’s current support for the school, despite a slight reduction in total fundraising compared to 2024. The trustees are pleased to report that as a result the association has been able to provide total funding to the school of £21,267 during 2024/25. This report was approved by the Trustees on 1[st] May 2026 and signed on it’s behalf.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act & in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the Act. ## **Independent Examiner's Report** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form & content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns & have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
