Chairperson’s Report

Autumn Term 2022

We started off with the Teacher / Pupil quiz. It went well, only around 50 pupils attended but everyone had a fun night.

Spring Term 2023

Wine and Cheese night was a great success. Everyone put a lot of effort into the organisation and had a lovely evening.

The Rugby Club Quiz 9[th] March. Not quite as big a crowd as usual since it was a really snowy evening. It was such a fun night, as usual, and a good fund raiser.

Summer Term 2023

Sports Day 14[th] June, the weather was on our side again this year. We provided the Tuck Shop and there was a lot of support from the committee. We also helped out with the Uniform Recycling Initiative which was launched this year and was very popular. We organised our PFTA Fun Day, 26[th] June and it was very successful. Everyone seemed to have a really good afternoon. We had lots of helpers from the PFTA, and again and the weather was in our favour.

Autumn 2023

Just before the start of the new school year, we were able to welcome our new Year 8 students and their families at the Hot Dog Lunch. It was such an enjoyable afternoon, and a great way to introduce the new pupils and their families to the school.

Donations

The following donations were made by the PFTA in the last year: RSD house – monitor- £300 After Schools Study Skills – revision packs - £100 RSD Pastoral – Pavillion re-vamp - £400 Charities Committee- Cups and jug-£50 RSD Dramatic Society – make-up and set design - £150 SEN- Lego - £100 PE/Tennis Club – Tennis Rackets - £200 Geography dept – Atlas set - £350 Chess Club – Chess sets - £113.65 Biology dept – 4 microscopes and light source - £250

PFTA Book Club

The Book Club still continue to meet regularly.

This concludes the report for the academic year. It only remains to thank all those who have helped out in any way during the year. Thanks to the Headmaster and teachers who have supported us also. It certainly has been great to get back to some sort of normality this year.

Independent examiner’s report to the charity trustees of RSD PFTA

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30[th] September 2023, which are set out on the Receipts and payments accounts on pages 7 and 8.

Respective responsibilities of charity trustees and examiner

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008.

It is my responsibility to:

• Examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act

• Follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Commission under section 65 (9)(b) of the Charities Act

• State whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report:

I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65 (9)(b) of the Charities Act.

My examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning such matters.

My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:

1. That accounting records were not kept in accordance with Section 63 of the Charities Act

2. That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records

3. That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act

4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Independent Examiner’s statement

I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with the following Directions of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.
