ST. WINEFRIDE'S SCHOOL SHREWSBURY TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the trust's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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

The object as set out in the Memorandum, which is the governing document, is the running of an independent school.

In accordance with the Memorandum, the School is a day school and kindergarten for pupils up to the age of eleven, educating them to a high standard to enable them to move to a senior school.

The school aims to help low income parents by offering reduced fees to enable their children to attend the school.

The school aims to teach children the importance of giving and sharing with people who are less fortunate.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the trust should undertake.

Volunteers

The Charity is not dependent upon the services of unpaid volunteers.

Achievements and performance

Significant activities and achievements against objectives

The average number of pupils in the year ended 31 August 2024 was 100 (2023: 94), made up of 47 infants (2023: 47), 53 juniors (2023: 49). 5 additional pupils in kindergarten (2023: 5).

The Trustees report a fee income for the year of £582,593 (2023: £546,304) and a deficit for the year of £70,160 (2023: £153,199 deficit).

Financial review

Reserves policy

It is the Charity’s policy to retain adequate reserves to be able to fund future operations. Prior to 1 September 2020, the Headmistress was paid a salary below market value. There had previously been a policy of building up reserves to cover the additional costs that arised when a new full time Head teacher was appointed as at 1st September 2023.

Following the appointment of Mrs E Devey reserves will be used to cover a salary at market value. Also the trustee's have started to use the reserves to update the school building and facilities as planned.

As at 31 August 2024, the trust’s level of free reserves stands at £440,904 (2023: £494,711). Free reserves are calculated as total unrestricted funds, excluding designated funds, and any unrestricted funds tied up in tangible fixed assets.

The calculation is as follows:

The school has set up a restricted fund to provide a bursary for under privileged children wishing to attend the school. £18,106 is held in a separate bank account as resources designated for special purposes (2023: £17,918).

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST. WINEFRIDE'S SCHOOL SHREWSBURY TRUST

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of St. Winefride's School Shrewsbury Trust (the trust) for the year ended 31 August 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the trust (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the trust are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the trust’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the trust’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) - UK, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

St. Winefride's School Shrewsbury Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is St Winefride's School, Belmont, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY1 1TE.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the trust's Memorandum and Articles, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

Fees are recognised when the trust is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received. Income is deferred in respect of cash received relating to future fees.

Deferred income is £225,393 (2023: £241,352) as a result of fee invoices being raised prior to the year end which relate to the following academic year.

Debtors are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.

ST. WINEFRIDE'S SCHOOL SHREWSBURY TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and related costs aggregated into categories. Costs are allocated between direct charitable costs, support & governance costs and other costs according to the nature of the cost.

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold property & improvements 2% per annum straight line Equipment 25% per annum reducing balance Website 33.3% per annum straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.9 Financial instruments

The trust has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the trust's balance sheet when the trust becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

1.11 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
