Statement of Financial Activities for the year ending 31st March 2020

RICKMANSWORTH SCHOOL PTA Registered Charity No. 311074

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ending 31st March 2020

Trustees

The trustees have served on the committee throughout the year. Appointment of trustees is governed by the Constitution. The Board of Trustees is authorised to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing trustee.

Investment powers

The Constitution authorises the trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity, but no such investments are presently held and none are expected to be held in the foreseeable future.

Constitution, objects and policies

The PTA is governed by its Constitution and its objects are to advance the education of the pupils of Rickmansworth School by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for education in the school, and in so doing foster more extensive relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school and engage in activities which support the school and promote the welfare of the pupils attending it. The trustees delegate the day to day responsibilities for fund-raising activities to the PTA Committee.

Development, activities and achievements

The trustees consider the performance of the association this year to be satisfactory having this year raised for the funds of:

(2020) £25,127 (2019) £17,811
and having donated following amounts to school
(2020) £49,000 (2019) £0

The above donation includes £20,000 from funds raised from the previous year donated to the School's Music Department towards its refurbishment.

The remaining £29,000 was used to pay for the upgrade to the flooring in the Playhouse (£9000) and the new sound and lighting in the Playhouse (£20,000).

The bulk of this year's fund raising ( £19,000) comes from the Uniform Shop which is completely run by unpaid PTA volunteers. The association would like to thank all parents and staff, whose continued support enabled us to raise these funds

Financial review

The surplus for the year is as set out in the attached financial statements and arises from voluntary fund-raising, and trading acitvites of the uniform shop.

Future developments and post Balance Sheet events

The Year ending 2020 will see a change in the PTA Chair and the Head Teacher as well as other Trustess. Please also note the post balance sheet donation stated under developments, activities and achievemnts above.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees are required under the constitution to prepare financial statements for the financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its results for that period.

In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to :

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable

accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding
