Report Playground Project This year we managed to complete the installation of the playground project. The playground includes an outdoor learning area and fixed musical equipment. We appreciate all the support that has been given to this fantastic project.

Accounts This year all accounts remain up to date. This can be seen on the OSCR website. Accounts ending 31/07/15 have almost been completed, it will be passed shortly to the external examiner and the return will be submitted following this, well in advance of the April deadline. The Virgin savings account has been closed following the completion of the playground project. The PTA is financially in a good position for the year ahead and some items of agreed spending are still waiting to be cleared/reimbursed. Uniform sales have not been stock checked successfully and this will be required to be addressed in the year ahead. Copies of bank statements and last year's accounts can be viewed at the back of the hall – Anna happy to discuss with anyone. A total income of £47,094 was raised in the year up to 31 July The final playground spend was £59, as savings were made by completing our own groundworks and having black wet pour instead of colour. Profits from events; uniform sales; commissions etc £12, We currently have funds of £ with spending due from this figure.
