3 



“ The Trustees shall hold the Trust Fund and the income thereof UPON TRUST to pay thereout all proper costs and expenses incurred by the Trustees in establishing and administering the Charity and subject thereto to pay or apply the whole thereof to promote general charitable purposes for the benefit of the public, in particular but not exclusively for the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic community, and socio-economically disadvantaged groups in the United Kingdom, including but not limited to the following purposes: 

1)the advancement of education of children and young people by tackling the inequalities and developing their skills, capacities, and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature, and responsible individuals through establishment of supplementary education opportunities. 

2)relieving unemployment by training of those who are unemployed, young adults, adults, and women with the aim of increasing their skill level and chances of employability. 

3)providing a mentoring and mental health support service to youth particularly through the provision of sports and arts activities. 

4)the relief of poverty amongst the residents of London by providing emergency aid, food, and equipment especially in the time of crisis. 

5)carrying out other activities as considered appropriate in furtherance of the said objectives.” 

- Strategies for achieving objectives. 

The Axis Educational Trust carry out these objectives by opening Supplementary Schools (Saturday Schools, Evening Classes, After-school clubs, Tuition Centres, Holiday Schemes) or running community projects for disadvantaged or vulnerable people. While doing so, the charity will employ its anti-discrimination, equal opportunity, safeguarding and inclusion policies so that the whole public could benefit from the charity's provisions, services, and activities. In setting objectives and planning activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission`s general guidance on public benefit guidance on advancing education and on fee-charging. In 2021-2022 academic term, Axis Supplementary Schools charged a subsidised fee of £12 per hour per child on Saturday Schools/Tuition Centres, with an additional up to 20% discount (bursary) for disadvantaged children who are entitled for Free School Meals at their own schools as well as lowincome families who struggle financially. Since the closure of our tuition centres during lockdowns and restrictions, the trust has been offering online services and courses as well as in-centre services. We invested in technology and training of staff for continuous delivery. During Covid 19 we delivered almost 50% of our online courses free of charge. 

- Activities for achieving objectives. 

The main activities of the Trust during this period have been: 

-Intensive group and one-to-one literacy, numeracy, and science support. 

-Weekday evening and weekend learning programmes. 

- -Homework clubs and booster classes for SATs, GCSE/A-Level, and 11+ students. 

- -Teacher training workshops and seminars. 

- -Holiday activity and Food programmes5 

4 



-Grant applications for existing and new projects (Axis North Finchley Tuition Centre, Online Learning Support, Active Minds 

– Axis Holiday Learning Programme Projects, Employability projects, Sports and Arts projects, Mental Health, and Wellbeing Projects). 

-Parent seminars. 

These projects are designed to make a difference to the children and young people who need it most. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

Going concern 

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies. 

- •Review of activities 

This year ended 31 August 2022 is the 28th year of Axis’ operations and providing educational services for the community. Axis Educational Trust is a valuable resource for children and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Its programs and services help to level the playing field and give these young people the opportunity to succeed. I am confident that Axis will continue to achieve great things in the years to come. Here are some of the achievements and goals. Supplementary Education: Axis Educational Trust successfully provided supplementary education programs to over 300 disadvantaged children and young people in its centres and online. These programs included tutoring, mentoring, and study support to improve their academic performance and overall educational outcomes. Career Counselling: The charity offered comprehensive career counselling services to more than 100 young people, helping them explore different career paths, identify their strengths, and make informed decisions about their future. This support included guidance on college and university applications, vocational training, and apprenticeship opportunities. Mental Health Support: Axis Educational Trust prioritised the mental well-being of the children and young people they served. The charity conducted workshops, counselling sessions, and mental health awareness campaigns, reaching out to over 300 individuals. These efforts aimed to reduce stigma, promote self-care, and provide essential coping strategies. Holiday Activity Programmes: The trust organised engaging holiday activity programs for disadvantaged children and young people, offering them opportunities for recreation, personal development, and socialisation. These programs reached over 150 individuals and included activities such as sports, arts and crafts, and cultural outings. Employability Training and Coaching: Axis Educational Trust provided employability training and coaching to more than 150 young people and adults from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds or refugees. These initiatives equipped them with essential job-seeking skills, interview preparation, CV writing assistance, and networking opportunities, enhancing their employability prospects.6 

Axis Scheme for the so-called Tuition Centres focuses on the two most important aspects of the curriculum, Literacy and Numeracy so that we ensure our supplementary learning has the maximum impact on the child's education without taking up too much time. The scheme improves literacy and numeracy skills of children aged 5-14 as children spend 3 hours of quality time at the weekend (or 2 hours per subject in the weekday evenings) to improve their reading, writing, arithmetic, and creative thinking skills. Science lesson has also been implemented to the scheme for GCSE and A-Level students. In addition, the eleven plus course which was added to the curriculum 4 years ago has now grown with the intensive demand from the public. Pupils of different ages attend the supplementary schools which follow Axis Scheme to get the additional 

5 



educational support needed to succeed in their lessons at school. Our experience has shown that these schools have also played an important role in keeping attending students focused on their learning and away from other temptations that lie outside the classroom, including crime. They have also been of tremendous benefit in creating an environment where parents can meet other people who share similar values and ethos regarding society and a commitment to creating a society with and for educated individuals who recognise and appreciate their broader social responsibilities. Our well-established websites (www.axiseducationaltrust.org, www.tuitioncentres.org) are testaments to the popularity of the program. Axis Educational Trust continued providing guidance service for teacher candidates throughout their PGCE applications this year too and candidates were offered voluntary and paid positions at supplementary schools, so that, the experience they gained through Axis gave them the confidence in their applications and studies as well as the first year in teaching profession. We also delivered a special teacher training and centre manager training programme for overseas qualified teachers who are mainly refugees in the UK and created work experience opportunities for them. Our tuition centres are mainly managed by these people. We are extremely pleased that last year we reached our academic targets with the following results: 

-100% of our GCSE students got a grade between A*-C (5-9) 

-85% of all primary school and KS3 students, who continued the programme for a minimum of two terms, achieved a minimum 1 sub-level increase (based on the old sub-level system). 

## **Active Minds and HAF– Axis Holiday Learning Programme** 

We believe that children need a break from formal education but learning and skills development can be offered during fun, quiz, sports, and art activities during the school holiday. Trust decided to carry on providing a fun way of learning during the 2022 Easter and Summer holidays in North London, where many disadvantaged kids enjoyed a quality programme. In 2021, we became provider partner of Holiday activity and food program initiated by Famous footballer Marcus Rashford and funded by DfE in Enfield and Barnet boroughs. This programme has reached a significant interest from the residents. Axis has also provided half-term and Easter programmes given the demand from public. _Aims_ 

-To provide educational support to children who are most in need during holidays. 

-To provide a safe, fun and instructive play-scheme for disadvantaged children. --To help removing financial obstacles for those who can't afford. 

-To provide hot meals for free school meal receivers 

-To provide healthy food and nutritional education to pupils and parents 

## _Impact_ 

Our holiday programmes helped over 400 children so far from low-income families improve their academic skills a minimum of one sub-level up to close the gap with their peers in a short term. In addition, children with low aspirations, low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence had additional time to have access to better facilities and a fun way of learning which helped them reach their potential, develop their emotional intelligence, and have a better career and life expectations for the future. The funding John Lyon’s Charity has made a grant of £4,000 each this year for half-term and Easter projects. HAF funded the Free School Meal pupils in Enfield and Barnet. BBC Children in Need funded the provision of Tuition to 30 children in Enfield. Online Tuition As we could invest in online delivery of our courses last year, we carried on supporting the children and adults in vulnerable communities outside London through online platform Microsoft Teams. Employability Projects We delivered GCSE English and Maths courses for overseas qualified teachers, OET (Occupational English Test) Preparation for overseas qualified doctors and nurses, SQE (Solicitor 

6 



Qualifying Exam) preparation for overseas qualified solicitors and IELTS preparation for overseas qualified academicians to overcome their language barrier and access to professions in the UK. A total number of 96 refugees joined the programme so far. Some of these projects were partly funded by ESFA or crowdfunding campaign. We would like to carry on training and mentoring activities for refugees depending on the funding secured in the future. 

- Factors relevant to achieve objectives. 

Over the past 28 years, the charity established a reputation for excellent academic results, experienced teaching staff, safe school environment and trust. This is borne out in maintaining the number of students re-registered; the longstanding donors both home and abroad who continue to monitor and evaluate our performance and continue to extend their support. FINANCIAL REVIEW Governance and internal control the trustees are responsible for the governance of the organisation, and to provide reasonable assurance that: 

- the charity is operating efficiently and effectively. 

- its assets are safeguarded against unauthorised use or disposition. 

• proper records are maintained, and financial information used within the charity or for publication is reliable. 

- the charity complies with relevant laws and regulations. 

The system of internal control is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include: 

- a strategic plan and an annual budget approved by the trustees. 

- regular consideration by the trustees of financial results, variances from budgets, non- 

- financial indicators and benchmark working reviews. 

- delegation of authority and segregation of duties. 

- identification and management of risks. 

In addition, the trustees will consider the guidance for directors of public listed companies contained within the Turnbull Report of 2000. Although it is not mandatory for the charity, it should, as a public interest body, adopt the guidelines as best practice. 

- Reserves policy (and management of risks) 

- -The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. Their policy is to hold enough 

- funds to meet three months of unrestricted charitable expenditure. Currently this is equivalent to £45K. 

• -The trustees have considered the strategic, business, and operational risks to which the charity is exposed. In the light of their experience, they are confident that grant flow will continue. They are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks. 

- Principal funding 

The principal funding source of the charity is that of tuition fees, rental income and grants. 

- Material investments policy

Trustees’ responsibility in relation to the financial statements 

The charity's trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently. 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

• state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ascertain the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with Charities Act 1993, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

The trustees confirm that so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity’s auditors are unaware. They have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditors are aware of that information. 

## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE** 

## **•Future Goals**

This expansion will involve establishing new educational support centres and partnerships with local organisations to ensure a wider reach and more comprehensive support.

By working together, they can leverage resources, share best practices, and maximise the impact of their programs and services.

8 



includes increasing the availability of counselling sessions, workshops, and training for both young people and adults to address the unique challenges they face. 

Sustainable Funding: Axis Educational Trust will focus on developing sustainable funding streams to ensure the continuity and long-term stability of its programs. This may involve seeking partnerships with corporate sponsors, applying for grants, and engaging in fundraising initiatives within the local community. 

Alumni Engagement: The charity aims to establish an alumni network to stay connected with the individuals who have benefited from their programs. This network will provide ongoing support, mentorship opportunities, and a platform for alumni to share their success stories, inspiring and motivating current beneficiaries and volunteering.
