achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|St Paul’s Cathedral School Association runs a wide range of events both
to raise funds for the school’s ‘nice to have’ and to provide social
opportunities for the pupils, parents and staff.
Fundraising activities included termly cake and second-hand uniform
sales, as well as annual events such as the Summer Fair.
Miscellaneous fundraising revenue was received from initiatives such as
commission (from the sale of pupil-drawn Christmas cards) and being
signed up to the “Easy Fundraising” company.
The main socialising events for the children were the various
parties/discos, funded by the PTA. Whilst for the parents – the main event
was the Quiz Night. The Summer Fair provided an annual community
event, for pupils, parents and staff alike.
These events were planned for and volunteered by the committee, paying
regard to appropriate safeguarding and risk assessments.| |---|---| ||As referenced above, the committee funded treats for the whole school
and this came to a total cost of £5,055. This covered items such as
Christmas parties (for Pre-Prep) to a trip to Thorpe Park (for Years 7 / 8).
In line with prior years, the filming of the Pre-Prep Nativity plays was
funded by the committee – at a net cost of £1,007.
The committee also approved several requests for donations from the
school. These included:
£2,520 for a new Television and mount (for the hall)
£3,002 for a variety of new playground equipment
£962 to update the planters with new soil/plants_(in the new planters_
_bought in 23/24)._| ||The work of SPCSA helps to fulfil our objectives of fundraising for the
school and bringing the school community together socially.
We have endeavoured to ensure that PTA funds benefit each child
throughout the school, enhancing and enriching the pupils’ educational
experience at St Paul’s Cathedral School.| ## **Financial Review** High level summary of the profit and loss accounts shown below: Income of £28,977 and outgoings of £37,383, meaning a net reduction in funds of £8,405. _Corrections to be fixed in 2025/2026 financial year.

The current statements exclude this balance from cash; however, the appropriate accounting treatment would be to recognise both the cash balance and a corresponding liability.

It is expected that these amounts will be transferred to the appropriate school account, and therefore they should be recorded as a payable at the reporting date. 2 **October 2018** **IER**
