REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF SPILSBY GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION
YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH, 2022
Trustees Report
There has been one change to the board of Trustees during the year. Mr Richard Sheldon, a co-opted trustee, after many years service has retired and the Trustees are actively trying to find a replacement.
The Trustees continue to monitor their investment policy on a regular basis. They have continued to have the whole of the Trust’s Endowment Capital invested in CCLA investment shares – the present holding being 86,139 shares having a capital value in excess of £1.677m. The resulting income of some £46,000 allowed the Trustees to continue to fulfil the Charter objectives of supporting “education in Spilsby & District”. During this year, the following grants were made to local schools - £4,216 to King Edward VI Academy, Spilsby £2,500 each to 5 local Primary Schools – Great Steeping, Halton Holegate, Spilsby, Partney & Toynton All Saints. These grants totaled £17,966 all to help provide facilities not available through national or local authority funding channels. In addition, grants totaling £19,500 were provided to 26 former pupils of these schools – a project very much supported by the Trustees and greatly appreciated by the students. This makes a grand total of £37,466 put into local education during the year.
The Samuel Shaw Fund, administered by the Trustee, was again able to support the RNIB Sunshine Schools for Blind Children in accordance with the terms of the Samuel Shaw Will – a donation much appreciated by the Institution.
Finally, the Trustees thank Mr. Simon Thorold and his staff at Haines Watts, Chartered Accountants for providing an independent examination of the accounts as required by the Charity Commission.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SPILSBY GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION TRUST
We report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31st March, 2022 which are set out on pages 4 to 6.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the Accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act) and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of examiner’s statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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 examiner’s unqualified statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:-
-
which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:-
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met; or
- to which in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
