TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2024

Charity registration number:

286442

Address: Englefield CE Primary School, The Street, Englefield RG7 5ER

Trustees:

Mrs F Cheney (Chair) Miss K Fox Mrs N Jackson Mrs A Tomes

Structure, governance & management

The charity is an unincorporated Parent Teacher Association and is governed by its Constitution. All parents and teachers are members of the charity. Trustees are appointed at the AGM in accordance with the Constitution (updated October 2019) and are drawn from the membership of the PTA.

Object of the charity

The object of the Association is to advance the education of the pupils of Englefield CE School by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for education at the school.

Activities undertaken during the year

This was the first year since the pandemic we had the opportunity to allow more events to proceed at the school and start to look at including parent only activities to encourage the school community and try to spread awareness around the PTA. We were able to hold the school disco and Christmas fate, the summer fate as planned in July 23 and an additional Bingo night which proved successful. We are still not back to the fundraising level prior to the Pandemic in 2020. We continued to welcome donations into the support fund.

Reserves policy

It is the charity's policy to hold as reserves an amount in the region of £8,000. In the event of fundraising income ceasing, this level of reserves would give the school sufficient funds for a year to cover existing commitments.

The current level of free reserves is £21,387.17. The level of reserves can fluctuate, depending on the timing of when the school carries out particular spending. During the Autumn Term 2024 the Trustees will be in conversation with the school to discuss future spending requirements.

Restricted Funds
