TRusfEES RESPONSIBILTIES
The Charivs trustees are responsible for preparing an Income & Expenditure account and a
statement of Assets & Liabilities for each financial year that accuratew represent the Charivs receipts
and p￿rnents during the year and its assets and Ilabilities at the end of the year. In preparing these
statements the trustees are required to-
Select Sultable accounting policies and then apply them consiStentW-
Make judgements that are reasonable and prudent.
P￿pare the financial statements on a going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to
presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which enable them to ensure that
the Income & Expenditure account and statement of Assets & Liabilities comply with the Charities Act
2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking
reasonable steps for the prevention and detertion of fraud and other irregularities.
AcnvmES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
During this financial year, the Committee has been able to run events, including a successful Comedy
night and Winter Fair. The PTA Trustees regularly review the m05t effertive ways to increase
engagement and connect with the wider parent community.
All committee members, parent and teacher volunteers give their time free of charge. often donating
other resources too. The funds raised are generated with the minimum possible cost to maximise the
amount that can be donated to the school.
We try to ensure that all funds raised are spent while the children of the donor5 are still attending the
school.
We are totally dependent and endlessly grateful to all who give their time, help, energy and money in
the achievement of these aims.
