SCEPTRE EDUCATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The Sceptre Education Trustees present their annual report and financial statement for the year ended 31 December 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 trust’s main activities are the support of Brethren schools and the provision of grants to organisations that support children and families.
Status of the Charity
The Charity is a registered charity and a trading subsidiary, a limited company registered in England and Wales was set up in 2008 and commenced trading on 01.08.08. The shares of the company are held in trust on behalf of the charity, and the profits are covenanted to the charity. The results of the trading subsidiary (Pinnacle (EU) Ltd.) have been consolidated within the group accounts.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees. Trustees are appointed by the Bidwell Trust on the basis of recommendations received from existing Trustees, or persons connected with the school.
Induction and training of trustees
The Trustees bring their own experience and expertise, which is enhanced by training and seminars organised by OneSchool Global UK. No trustees are remunerated for their services.
Organisational Structure and Decision Making
The structure of the Trust consists of seven Trustees who oversee provision of the school building and support of the education provision provided by OneSchool Global UK. They meet every three to four months.
Relationship with other Charites
The Trust is affiliated to OneSchool Global UK who operate the school as one of its campuses. The Trust is connected to the Bidwell Trust who have the power under the Trust deed to approve the appointment and removal of Trustees. The Trust also owns a trading subsidiary Pinnacle (EU) Ltd, which runs trading projects to raise funds for the Trust.
Risk Management
The Trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Trust. Four Trustees will generally operate in each area of responsibility within the Trust. Risks are identified, assessed and controls established through the year.
The key controls used by the Trust are:
-
Formal agendas and minutes for all Trustee meetings.
-
Planning, budgeting, and cash reporting provided to Trustees.
-
Established organisational structure lines of reporting.
-
Formal written policies.
-
Authorisation and approval levels.
-
Vetting procedures as required by law for the protection of the vulnerable.
Through the risk management procedures established by the school, the Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objects
The charitable objects of the Trust are the advancement of the education of children and young people. The objects also include any other charitable purpose for the benefit of the worldwide Christian fellowship known as the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.
The trust’s main activities are the support of Brethren schools and the provision of grants to organisations that support children and families.
Page 2
Ethos
Students attending Brethren schools are encouraged to develop their full potential and acquire the discipline of learning how to learn, while upholding Christian teachings and beliefs.
The truth and authority of the Holy Bible and strong family values underpin the commitment of the School to provide quality in every facet of education – curriculum, teachers, facilities, management and discipline - in a safe and caring environment.
Values
The Trustees are drawn from the Brethren community and the school is committed to a way of life that is governed by the Holy Bible, expecting the conduct pupils and staff consistently to reflect Biblical values and the specific values of the school, which include:
-
Integrity - uprightness, honesty and decorous conduct, governed by the Holy Bible;
-
Care and Compassion - kindness, consideration and generosity to all;
-
Respect - for all people, property, opinions and authority;
-
Responsibility - for our actions, progress and environment;
-
Commitment - to self-discipline and the pursuit of excellence.
Significant Activities
The Trust has supported the Brethren school in Luton, Watford, Northampton and Banbury, providing use of the school building and supporting the education provision provided by OneSchool Global UK.
Pupils who attend the School are expected to act in accordance with the doctrines and practices of the Brethren, but there is no other academic or financial selection process for admission to the School.
The curriculum is designed to provide opportunities for pupils of varied abilities and interests. The subjects offered are in line with the National Curriculum and cover key learning areas. There is an increasing focus on encouraging and developing selfdirected learning principles with students.
The aim is to provide a broad and balanced curriculum which promotes personal development and prepares students for increasing independence and responsibility.
OneSchool Global UK was incorporated for that purpose and, whilst recognising the responsibilities of each relevant local community, it is considered that the advantages of providing education through one organisation are considerable and that in particular allows:
-
(a) delivery of a single entity to provide a single employer of school staff;
-
(b) delivery of positive learning outcomes in line with a single, Global vision; and
-
(c) maximisation of the benefits of a UK-wide ecosystem.
Objectives
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and we have had regard to it when reviewing our aims and objectives, and in planning our future activities. In particular we consider how planned activities will contribute to the educational aims and objectives we have set.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Trust is supported and financed principally by income from its trading subsidiary and the rental of the Trust's property. CAPEX projects are supported by Donations and Grants.
The Trust continues to work closely with OneSchool Global UK to ensure that continued funding received by the Trust, intended to support the education of its students, is donated to OneSchool Global UK in order to continue those provisions in line with the Trust’s charitable objectives.
The charity wholly owns a trading subsidiary company: Pinnacle (EU) Ltd
The year produced a surplus of £11,496 which was added to reserves. The trading company produced a profit of £292,241 of which £275,933 was donated to the Trust. The Trust has adequate reserves, including a healthy cash balance, to fund its ongoing program.
The Trust continued to collect School Fees until 31 August 2020, and donated £523,130 to OneSchool Global UK to fund the school's operating costs.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have established a reserves policy which aims to maintain an adequate general reserve to cover future expenditure. The policy is reviewed annually.
Page 3
Investment policy
The Trustees have established an investment policy. The Trust invests in low risk investment such as bank deposits. The Trust holds an investment in its trading subsidiary Pinnacle (EU) Ltd. This is limited to the initial share capital invested. The policy is reviewed annually.
FUTURE PLANS
The Trust is committed to a continuous improvement plan to upgrade and update the fabric and structure of the school to fit in with our Self-Directed framework.
The Trustees are currently working on variations of plans to achieve this goal which we hope will see some tangible upgrades within the next 6-18 months.
We intend to continue to support OneSchool Global UK to provide a quality and deliver a consistent and high level of educational experience and outcome for all students and staff, in accordance with the Trust's ethos and values.
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, it continues 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.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustee's 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 and 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 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
-
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 accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and 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.
Statement of disclosures to the auditor:
a) so far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the auditors are unaware, and
We have taken all steps that we ought to have taken as Trustees in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant b) audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
For and on behalf of the Trustees

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Sceptre Education
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Sceptre Education (the ‘parent charity’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31[st] December 2020 which comprise the Group Statement of Financial Activities, Group and Parent Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
. give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and parent charity’s affairs as at 31[st] December 2020, and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources 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 Charities Act 2011.
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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s 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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
.
the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
.
the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the group’s or parent charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s 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.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Page 5
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Sceptre Education (continued)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
. the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
-
. sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
. the parent charity’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
. we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees 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.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 Auditors' 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 is detailed below:
-
. the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the remuneration incentives and pressures of key management;
-
. the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management. We consider the results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
-
. any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Charity’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to:
-
_ identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of noncompliance;
-
_ 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 of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
. the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
Page 6
Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Sceptre Education (continued)
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Charities Act 2011 and relevant tax legislation.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors’ report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees 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 trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
