Torah Temimoh Primary School
Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objectives of the charity are the advancement of the education of the public, and in particular but not so as to limit the generality of the foregoing, providing and maintaining a school for young persons under the age of eighteen.
Strategies for achieving objectives
The charity achieves its objectives by supporting the work of the Torah Temimah Primary School (an independent entity), a Voluntary Aided school based in the London Borough of Brent, in particular by funding the religious study provision of the school. The charity also makes various smaller grants to other bodies with an educational objective.
The charity fundraises from the local community and beyond in order to be able to support its objectives.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Funds donated to the Torah Temimoh Primary School and related entities amounted to £831,172 (2024: £649,463). With a background of falling income in real terms, all Government funded schools are finding their financial position increasingly precarious. The trustees of the charity are determined that no child should suffer educationally from the current funding crisis. The trustees, and the volunteers working with the charity are working hard to ensure that the school can continue to deliver an outstanding education to all of its pupils. Donations to the school are used to cover staff costs and to ensure that teacher numbers do not have to be cut, as this would have a negative effect on the education offered.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial review and reserves policy
Torah Temimah Primary School continues to offer an exceptional, closely-knit educational environment for its approximately 200 pupils. Operating as a smaller, specialised school allows us to provide highly individualised care and maintain a strong community ethos. However, this small scale inherently presents higher per-pupil overhead costs, and the physical parameters of our current premises preclude any further expansion of student numbers.
The school records the lowest proportion of pupils eligible for Pupil Premium funding within the London Borough of Brent. While this reflects the stable socio-economic profile of our parent body, it also restricts the school's eligibility for central government funding streams aimed at more disadvantaged demographics. This funding constraint has been further compounded by recent shifts in statutory education financing, which have redirected resources away from London authorities toward rural regions.
In light of these structural funding challenges, the Trustees wish to express their profound gratitude to our parent body and the wider local community. The financial resilience and continued operational success of Torah Temimah Primary School are a direct result of the extraordinary generosity and dedication of our supporters. Where statutory funding streams are limited, our community's proactive commitment has bridged the gap. The Trustees remain deeply grateful for this ongoing partnership, which ensures the school can maintain its high standards of education and remain on a secure, sustainable footing for the future.
The trustees aim to keep £50,000 in reserve. This level is set as a reasonable level in order to meet any unexpected costs of the school or other charities applying for funding.
FUTURE PLANS
The Trustees wish to continue supporting the Torah Temimoh Primary School for future periods. It is recognised that further fundraising will be necessary, and the trustees plan to approach Trusts, Foundations and individuals to allow them to further the educational prospects of the children in the school.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Torah Temimoh Primary School
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Torah Temimoh Primary School
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Torah Temimoh Primary School (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
