Public Benefit
The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit requirement statutory guidance and have regard to this when running the charity.
The charity offers a public benefit as it encourages families from diverse backgrounds to take part in and support events in the school community. The PTFA aims to help support the advancing of education of pupils in the school. This is demonstrated through pupils having access to resources, events, activities, and links with the local community which are not available through direct school funding.
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is managed by an executive committee consisting of all appointed trustees. The selection and appointment of new trustees is dealt with by the committee. The charity is governed by a Constitution.
Financial Review
The charity returned a net deficit in funds of £2,583 (2024 - £6,579 surplus). The results for the year are shown on pages 6 to 7.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level which will ensure that they will be able to continue the current activities in the event of a drop in funding. The charity aims to continue to increase its reserves to ensure the stability of its services and operations.
