Trustees Annual Report
Principal objectives
The Parent Support Group of St.Mary’s Primary School Kircubbin (“PSG”) is established to advance the education of pupils at St. Mary’s Primary School Kircubbin (“the school”) by providing or assisting in the provision of educational facilities at the School and ancillary to this and in furtherance of this object the PSG may:
-
(a) foster more extended relationships between the staff, parents and others who befriend the school; and
-
(b) engage in activities which support the School and advance the education of the pupils attending it.
Activities during the year
During the year 2021-2022 we raised a total of £8335.84 from weekly non-uniform days, the 5-Week Draw, a “Step Challenge”, quiz nights at local hotel “The Port” and a generous donation.
We’ve been able to support the School and its pupils through the provision of an interactive whiteboard, bench-marking kit for reading, P7 leavers’ hoodies, buses to the Pantomime and selection boxes at Christmas time.
In addition to this, we applied and were successfully awarded a Community Festival Grant from Ards and North Down Borough Council which funded our Easter activities and Easter Eggs. As well as a grant from DAERA to purchase wooden benches and picnic tables. Thanks to support via the Asda Foundation, we funded a Summer Reading Club providing books for all pupils to read over the summer break.
We are pleased to report that the account shows a healthy balance going into 2022-2023 year.

Independent Examiner's Report on the Accounts
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the account. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
• follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
● to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
