Trustees Report
The trustees submit their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020.
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).
Structure, governance and management
The school fund is governed by a separate constitution to that of the school which was incepted on 27 November 1995 and updated on 19 July 1999. Its objects are to support the education of pupils at Boston High School by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for the education of pupils not normally provided otherwise.
Trustees' responsibilities statement
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (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 school fund and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the school fund for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material 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 school fund will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the school fund and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act, Accounts and Reports Regulations, and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the school fund and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Boston High School Fund
I report on the accounts of the school fund for the year ended 31 August 2020 which are set out on pages 5 to 19.
Responsibilities and basis of report
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 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
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 charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records
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.

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)' and the Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
(b) Fund accounting
Unrestricted general funds are those funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the school fund and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.
The aim and use of each material fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the school fund for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund.
The main income and expenditure of the fund relates to the organisation of school trips, including foreign visits. Money is collected from the pupils and payments made to the relevant travel companies etc.
There are a number of trips that take place each year. Money is collected in advance from pupils prior to the visit taking place. This results in a timing difference (amounts received in advance) for accounts purposes. Under UK accounting rules and the charity SORP, this income is deferred into next year where it is matched against the related expenditure when the relevant trip takes place.
The same principle applies to payments made in advance of trips taking place (e.g. deposits). Such expenditure is prepaid into the forthcoming year where the trip is scheduled to take place beyond the current year end.

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
BOSTON HIGH SCHOOL FUND
(c) Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the school fund is legally entitled to the income (e.g. when a trip or activity has occurred) and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Gifts in kind (including volunteer time) cannot be meaningfully quantified and are therefore excluded from the financial statements.
(d) Investment Income
On the grounds of practicality and materiality, investment income is accounted for in the period received.
(e) Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis (i.e. when the obligation to pay becomes unconditional, such as when a trip or event has occured) and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the school fund and include project management carried out at Headquarters.
Management and administration costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the school fund and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
All costs include attributable VAT, which cannot be recovered.
(f) Taxation
No provision for taxation is included in the financial statements as the school fund is exempt from tax.

BOSTON HIGH SCHOOL FUND
YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
(g) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
