Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Financially this has been another successful year for the group and our reserves have been increased. We sent a large group of children, that were school ready, on to two of our local primary schools, after working alongside both schools to help with the transition process in July. We have a significant number of children returning in September and we also have a number of children that are registered to join us throughout the following academic year.

We have invited a couple of students from two local secondary schools, to join us for their work experience week. And we have also offered several students from Norland College the opportunity to join us for their six weekly placements. We feel that this arrangement has greatly benefited the setting, the students and above all the children.

Our goal is to continue to provide excellent pre-school education for the children of families throughout the surrounding area.

Independent examiner's report on the accounts

Section A Independent Examiner’s Report

Report to the trustees/ Charity Name members of Pepperpot Bathford Preschool

31 August 2020	Charity no (if any)	1035101

1 - 2 (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

On accounts for the year ended Set out on pages 1 - 2

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The responsibilities of charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section trustees and examiner 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,
to 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 In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention ( ~~other~~ examiner's statement ~~than that disclosed below~~ *)

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.
Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
