Structure Governance and Management
Constitution
The Association is a charitable unincorporated organisation, and the purposes and administration arrangements are set out in our constitution.
Appointment of Trustees
Committee members (who act in a position as trustee) are either appointed by the members at our annual general meeting, which is held in October each year, or, in the event of any vacancies, members can be co-opted until the following annual general meeting.
Objectives & Activities
Charitable Purpose
Our purposes, as recorded in our constitution, are to advance the education and wellbeing of the pupils of the school by providing or assisting in the provision of facilities for education at the school (not normally provided by the Local Authority).
Activities and Achievements
The PTA has run a number of successful events this year including our annual Grand Prize Raffle, Autumn Fayre, Sports Day refreshments and Christmas card and Tea towel design with more events planned for 2025.
Our after-school clubs are well attended on a weekly basis and our school Uniform Swap Shop continues to run weekly sales.
We provided resources and support for pupils, responding to requests from staff and parents. This included hardship support for families, new books to refresh the nursery library and a carpet cleaner to improve the nursery environment.
There has been a big drive this year for parents to use our Ragbag Bins to recycle their unwanted clothes and shoes generating funds that were reinvested in activities for pupils..
Financial Review
The free reserves of the PTA as of 31 July 2025 were £34,004 (2024 £31,767). The end of year surplus was £2,236.
Fundraising activities over the year increased the overall income. The autumn fayre was back at Balerno High School this year and income increased by about £600 with the better venue. The Grand Prize raffle also raised an extra £600 compared to last year.
New for this year:
Sports Day refreshments. This was a great success for the P1-4 sports day and we are keen to run this again.

The Trustees will focus on updating existing policies and creating new ones where we see gaps, as part of a renewed focus on governance. The aim is to ensure that the charity is run efficiently in order to allow supporters and members to focus on fundraising.

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 seeks 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 | do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
