The Trustees of the Marjorie McClure School Fund c/o Marjorie McClure School 110 Slades Drive CHISLEHURST BR7 6FG
Dear Trustees
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of the Marjorie McClure School Fund
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Marjorie McClure School Fund for the year ended 31 August 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Fund you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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
in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust 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 to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
