Friends of Putney High School

Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 31 August 2024

FOPHS has enjoyed an action-packed year of events, fun-raising and fundraising activities for the whole school community including a whole school Christmas Fair complete with donkeys, second hand uniform sales and a quiz night for the parent community.

The year ended 31 August 2024 has seen the Friends of Putney High School (FOPHS) raise £46,345 before costs. The total costs of generating funds were £9,649, generating a net profit for this year of £36,696.

FOPHS approved bids from School with a total value of £48,315.74 during the year.

Once again this year we held our AGM and Senior School and Junior School engagement sessions in person, but the three FOPHS committee meetings were conducted via Zoom and this will continue going forward as it makes life easier for all attendees.

The autumn term was very busy with a second-hand uniform sale in September, engagement sessions for the Junior School, and an allschool Christmas Fair.

The spring term brought a musical Movie Night for the whole Junior School who enjoyed Matilda in the PAC in February, and a Y7 and 8 movie night where the girls watched Wonka and were treated to party bags with 5 golden tickets up for grabs. The Inquizition team delivered another popular and competitive Quiz Night for parents and staff to enjoy and FOPHS also leant their assistance to support Year 6 who organised a cake sale for Comic Relief in March.

The summer term brought more second-hand uniform sales – in April for all parents - and at the Let’s Get Started events for Reception and Year 7 where FOPHS also provided a selection of reps and existing Putney parents for the incoming parents to talk to about what to expect at PHS.

FOPHS held two discos for the Junior School girls, a second-hand book sale and brought some house colours in the form of face paints to the Junior School Sports Day.

In July we also hosted welcome coffee mornings for incoming Reception and Year 7 parents off-site which were well attended and enjoyed by all.

As ever, our achievements at FOPHS have only been possible thanks to the hard work, dedication and enthusiasm of the Standing Committee, our parent volunteers and our Year Group Rep teams throughout the school. Our thanks to all of those who have helped at events, at open days and to support their year groups.

We are also very grateful to all the staff who have helped FOPHS over the past year and who have provided invaluable support. In addition to the Senior School and Junior School Leadership teams, special thanks go to Lucy Rogers and Suzanne Fearon from Communications and Development, as well as the staff in the school offices, the Estates team, Finance and Operations and the caretakers and the catering teams. We thank you for your support and enthusiasm for all the activities that FOPHS has undertaken this year.

The Trustees

We would like to thank all the trustees who have served on the FOPHS Committee since the last AGM, which was held on 11 October 2023.

In several year groups there were other parents who also played their part as part of a larger Rep Team. FOPHS thank them for all that they do throughout the year to help create the warm, open and inclusive school community that we have all come to expect and appreciate and for the help they lend to FOPHS activities throughout the year.

Review of Activities

As ever, I am very grateful to all the Standing Committee members who have worked enthusiastically and in good humour throughout 2023/24 to make this year another successful one for FOPHS and for the Putney High School community.

Vanessa Robert, Natasha Wada, Angelina Harris, Ruth Niven Hirst, Helen Perrott & Aïcha Badarou have dedicated a great deal of their personal time to keep FOPHS running smoothly over the last year and it has been a pleasure to work alongside them.

Thanks also to the parent Reps for always keeping positive and available (to both FOPHS and their year group parents) and for continuing to find the time for FOPHS.

Event Summaries (and monies raised):

Second-hand Uniform Sales - £14,242

Held in the Junior School Scooter Park in September and April (plus further sales of Second Hand Uniform at the Reception and Year 7 Let’s Get Started events) we know how popular and useful these are for all parents. All sales are now contactless payment only.

The Online Christmas Raffle, £5,509

Thanks to Natasha Wada for organising a fantastic online raffle this year. As we all know, a raffle is only as good as its prizes, so our thanks and appreciation to the year groups and parents for donating such wonderful prizes and to all the parents for generously supporting us.

Christmas Fair – £7,816

Thanks to a huge team of parent volunteers, FOPHS brought the spirit of Christmas to all of Putney High School, despite the freezing temperatures and the logistics of a fair held both indoors and outdoors.

Junior School and Y7&8 Movie Nights - £698

Matilda and Wonka were screened in the PAC for the Junior girls and Y7&8 girls respectively and much fun was had at both events.

Quiz Night - March 7 – £6,279

Alex from Inquizition returned to host another successful Quiz Night. We had a waiting list for tables but all year groups were represented in the PAC along with the Junior and Senior school staff. It was a lively evening, full of competition and was very much enjoyed by all. The Senior school staff retained their winning streak, but only by one point, again!

4

Junior School Discos - £1,814

The disco returned to the Junior School hall for the summer dance off and FOPHS hosted two discos, back to back, for the Junior School girls who took to the dance floor with much enthusiasm. With a dancer leading them in a number of routines, plus competitions, spot prizes, small gifts and snacks it was a high energy afternoon for all.

Second-hand Book Fair – £337

Held outside on a happily sunny afternoon in the Junior School scooter park, the Junior School girls shopped for pre-loved books and the remaining books were delivered to The Children’s Book Project who work to redistribute books across the UK to children who would otherwise not have access to them.

Pledges to the School

The school is always incredibly grateful for the continued support, of the parent community. The extras funded by FOPHS are appreciated across all age-groups and disciplines by the school and indeed by the parents and their daughters.

During 2023-2024, FOPHS pledged £48,315.74 to 12 projects that the Committee considered would benefit the girls and the school.

Outdoor Classroom Junior School Gym & Dance Show Junior School Science Shed Refurbishment of the Counselling Area Year 13 Leavers Ball Write Inspired Workshop Heating Mantle and Lab Stands - Geiger Muller Tube Tim Marshall Talk Musical Productions Drama Workshops Second Hand Baby Grand Piano

The bid split this year was £28,048.98 for the Junior School and £6,663.76 for the Senior School. £13,633 benefitted both.

Engagement Sessions

Our scheduled Engagement Sessions in the Junior School took place in person this year. All Junior School Reps met with the Senior

5

Leadership Teams alongside a member of the FOPHS standing committee and these sessions were constructive, valuable and interesting for the parents and staff alike. Our thanks to the Reps for giving up their time and providing a much-valued channel of communication between their year group parents and Putney High School.

The Year 6 Legacy Fund

When year groups complete their Junior School years, they sometimes have monies left in their year group accounts at the end of Year 6. The 2020 Leavers asked if they could donate theirs towards a Legacy Gift for the Junior School, to be spent on a durable physical legacy item that would predominantly benefit Junior School pupils. It is not to be used for a singular experience such as a workshop.

The FOPHS treasurer has agreed to ring-fence this money in the FOPHS account and hold it there until needed. The Junior School SLT can then request it when desired and use it to fund or contribute towards a legacy item of their choosing. We discussed at the last committee meeting that perhaps it would be used for equipment needed for the Outdoor Classroom. However the allocation will be at the discretion of the Junior School SLT.

There will of course be no expectation or pressure for every Year 6 year group to add to this fund. Any residual funds or donations will of course be welcomed by the Junior School in future years. So far the 2020 Leavers have contributed £2,061.17 and the 2022 Leavers, £253.93.

The Standing Committee

The FOPHS Committee meetings took place in November, January and May via Zoom.

I would like to thank this year’s Standing Committee, year group reps and event organisers for all their help and for all that they have done and continue to do for FOPHS. It really is a team effort.

Financial Summary

Total receipts for the financial year ending 31st August 2024 equal £47,009. The total costs of generating funds were £9,649 generating a net profit of £36,696.

The cash at bank as at 31st August 2024 of £103,808.

Contributions have been less in recent years. Some activities for which funds were pledged have not taken place due to COVID-19 and the school has submitted fewer claims in light of reduced fundraising. Higher claims are expected over the next few years.
