BEIS SOROH SCHNEIRER OF GOLDERS GREEN LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024

The directors present their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2024.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY

The principal activity of the company was as a school throughout the year ended 30 November 2024.

REVIEW OF THE SCHOOL

The Beis Soroh Schneirer School (BSS) was founded to provide primary education for orthodox Jewish girls, within the London orthodox Jewish community. It is a single form entry school and will remain so, with classes not exceeding 30 pupils each. The student role at the balance sheet date was 300. BSS now boasts a pre-school, kindergarten, reception, years 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

As an independent school, BSS aims to provide its pupils with a clear and unambiguous commitment to Torah Law and practices, instilling in each girl a strong sense of their Jewish culture and the importance of refined, positive behaviour. It achieves a sound balance of excellent curriculum education and social development, on a foundation of Torah and good manners.

Overseen by the board of founding governors, the school operates with the following paid staff:

• 2 Co-ordinators

• 1 matron

• 100 teachers and 20 classroom assistants

• 3 secretaries, of which one is employed in the fundraising office

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The principal activities of the charity during the year continued to provide primary education for orthodox Jewish girls, within the London orthodox Jewish community. The trustees are aware of the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit reporting as set out in Section 17 Charities Act 2011. The trustees believe that the charity achieves a public benefit by providing these services as detailed elsewhere in this report

FUNDRAISING

BSS adheres to a policy of accepting each application on its individual suitability and merit and will not reject a pupil merely for being unable to pay school fees. This means that many of our pupils require subsidising, to enable the overall provision of quality tutoring and resources.

BEIS SOROH SCHNEIRER OF GOLDERS GREEN LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024

To this end, numerous fundraising activities are initiated and run on behalf of the school, including annual appeals to local residents, businesses and trusts and a city held business luncheon. Other enterprising projects are also ongoing. A building fund was formed to assist the building works at the schools’ new premises.

The governors recognise the continued growth and success of the school and would like to record their gratitude to our donors, sponsors and funders, to all parents and volunteers and to the invaluable teaching and administration staff, for their support and efforts on behalf of the school.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Company law requires the directors, who serve as trustees for the purposes of charity law, to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing those accounts, the directors 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 UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

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

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable him to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Directors’ Report is prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BEIS SOROH SCHNEIRER OF GOLDERS GREEN LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Beis Soroh Schneirer of Golders Green Limited for the year end 30 November 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, statement of cash flows and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Opinion on financial statements

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 30 November 2024 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended:

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditorʼs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRCʼs Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditorʼs report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BEIS SOROH SCHNEIRER OF GOLDERS GREEN LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024

We have nothing to report in this regard

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

• the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the trustees’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of the trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditorʼs report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.

5

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BEIS SOROH SCHNEIRER OF GOLDERS GREEN LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

We enquired of management, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to:

• identifying, evaluating, and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;

• detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected, or alleged fraud;

• the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.

• We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience.

• We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

• We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.

• In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Councils website at: [www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities]. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

BEIS SOROH SCHNEIRER OF GOLDERS GREEN LIMITED

(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) ACCOUNTING POLICIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024

The following are the more important accounting policies adopted by the company: -

(a) ACCOUNTING CONVENTION

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements 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 2015)- (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. This is because the trustees of BSS Building Fund have confirmed their willingness to support the school and will not wish to drawdown their loan for the foreseeable future.

(b) DEPRECIATION

All tangible fixed assets are depreciated at annual rates to write off the cost or valuation of the assets over their estimated useful lives using the reducing balance method at the following rates: -
