St Leonards PTA
We are a voluntary Parent & Teacher Association supporting St Leonards C of E Primary School's educational objectives. Our fundraising activities at the school include summer & Christmas fairs, parents quiz night, cake sales & school discos. Funds raised provided for example a 31 unit IT suite (completed in November 2018), upgrading of the play areas, and other educational purposes.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a deficit of £5,643.37 for the year, which was anticipated due to planned investments in major projects like the ICT Suite. Despite this deficit, the charity maintained unrestricted reserves of £22,852.75, significantly exceeding its stated policy target of approximately £3,000. The trustees note that income is largely dependent on volunteer-led fundraising and external factors, but the current financial position remains strong with no creditors or debtors.
