Crumlin IPS PTA Trustees. Annual Report
Introduction
The Parent Teachers Association (PTA) is dedicated to supporting the school
community by funding essential resources and organizing events that enhance the
educational experience of our students. Our mission is to foster a collaborative
environment between parents, teachers, and students to achieve common goals.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on the 21 st of September, with 10
attendees. During the meeting, Ann George was elected as Chair, Carole Glass as
Treasurer, and Donall Coey as Secretary. We began the year with a healthy balance of
just under £3500,
One of the key discussions at the AGM was the urgent need to replace and update
the reading novels for KS2 children. This became our primary funding focus for the
year, with an estimated cost of just over £4000.1 am pleased to report that we have
successfully covered all costs for this initiative.
The PTA started the year with a balance of just under £3500. Throughout the year, we
organized several fundraising events and secured grants, which significantly boosted
our funds, By the end of the academic year, we had purchased £4000 worth of books,
secured funding for new iPads, and supported various school trips and resources.
