STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Background
Autism affects how a person communicates and experiences the world. Autistic people can experience
difficulties with communication andlor sensory processing. It affects each person differently and is therefore
often described as a spectrum. Autism is not an illness or disease and cannot be cured.
We are experts in delivering autism education services from pre-school to 25. BeyondAutism is a non-profit
organisation, driving change in the world of autism education to ensure autistic children and young adults access
an education which empowers a life full of choice, independence and opportunity. We do this by creating positive
educational experiences, training for the professional team around a child. and information, resources and
support for families and carers.
We deliver rapid and sustained outcomes in our Early Years, service by working with parents and children
together. Empowering parents to feel resilient and confident in meeting the needs of their child leads to
aspirational, informed choices creating a positive and successful step into primary education. Our schools and
Post-19 service have a specialist curriculum that ensures sustained success beyond the age of 25, setting
children and young adults up with the skills and independence to lead a life of their choosing.
Our Outreach team is activating networks and building local capacity with a solution-focused approach. Our Fast
Responder@ service is working at the point of crisis to change the national picture and reduce school placement
breakdown, supporting students in their settings.
Our Vision
Our vision is to ensure autistic children and young adults access an education which empowers a life full of
choice, independence and opportunity.
BeyondAutism celebrates the individual. We always seek to discover a person's aspirations, preferences and
support needs facilitating a life of choice and opportunity. We go above and beyond to break the cycle of
prejudice, through education and training. changing society and ensuring inclusion.
Our Strategy
BeyondAutism has undergone remarkable transformation and growth over the past 24 years.
Our current strategy and objectives reflect our aspirations at an individual and societal level. Through education
and developing skills, whilst also influencing attitudes, resources and institutions.
Our Strategic Objectives:
Reduced School Placement breakdown
Empowering schools to manage behaviour and remove barriers to leaming.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
To this end. BeyondAutism runs..
Early Years.
This is a free seniice developed for parentslcarers to attend with their children aged 15
months-5 years. The programme focuses on behaviours, relationships and developmental play,
underpinned by Behaviour Analysis. We tailor teaching techniques around the needs and preferences of
each child. The service offers a flexible approach. with attendance designed to fit around the timetable of
each family.
Park House School (48 North Side, Wandsworth Common) Ofsted rated Outstanding - delivers education
from Reception age through to Year 6 (4
11yrs old). The school benefited from the substantial
refurbishment in 2010 and has continued to adapt the environment to meet the needs of the younger
learners by creating sensory play areas. All pupils continue to access individualised timetables within a broad
and balanced curriculum.
Tram House School (520 Garratt Lane. Earlsfield and 6th form at 140 Woking Close, Roehampton) Ofsted
rated Good with Outstanding Features - educates Year 7 to Year 14 (aged 11 19yrs).

partnerships with other organisations, our leamers spend around 500/0 of their week working and learning in
their local communities.
Research & Learning has continued to grow and expand its reach. This includes delivering on Outreach
contracts across London and South Oxfordshire. Online training has now been compleled by people from across
Scotland, Wales and England and continues to receive 1000/0 positive feedback from attendees. BeyondAutism
continues to build on its online presence, through the creation of podcasts, training videos and resources. The
Lunch and Learn series has been very successful in sharing our approach, expertise and views with a wider
audience.
2024 Highlights
During 2024 we have opened a new dedicated sixth form facility for Tram House School based in Wandsworth.
The Charity team are now co-located at this site bringing all our teams closer together.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
People with autism have the skills to live their ideal week
Launched the Joumal Group Initiative. which helps learners develop self-expression and communication
skills.
Fun with Food sessions improved dietary habits and sensory exploration, leading to increased food variety
and nutritional awareness among leamers.
Increase resilience and confidence in families
44144 parents in Early Years, services reported feeling more equipped and empowered in supporting their
child's journey
Launch of the BeyondAutism Resource Hub provided families with free access to over 30 fact sheets and
videos, helping parents and carers gain essential knowledge to support their child's development. 24.600
views and 1.891 downloads demonstrate its high demand and impact.
Communities are supported to include people with autism
Lunch & Learn webinar series expanded to 4,300 registrants, a 2.5x increase from the previous year, with
participation from 140 intemational attendees.
£436,677 raised over the academic year to support autism education and outreach initiatives.
53 external engagement opportunities. including guest blogs, radio interviews, panel discussions, and
networking events.
Stakeholder Consultation success, with participation from 105 survey responses, 90 staff contributions, and
22 parent interviews. informing our 2025-2030 strategy.
Risk Management
The Board of Trustees recognise their responsibilities in the management of risk, particularly in respect of the
children and adults attending BeyondAutism's provisions and the staff employed by the charity. A full risk
analysis is carried out each year, with the most recent analysis being approved by Trustees in November 2023.
The analysis covers all aspects of safeguarding, finance, health & safety, HR. reputation and resources. A
number of risks are identified in each of these categories and each risk is scored on a matrix of impact and
probability. Taking into account the controls in place to mitigate these risks, all were evaluated as low to medium.
In common with other organisations, the economic and political factors remain a potential risk for BeyondAutism.
All school and Post 19 placements are funded by the leamerfs Local Authority with appropriate agreements in
place. the charity does not have any privately funded pupils in either of its schools or its Post-19 service.
BeyondAutism offers value to Local Authorities because it provides education to learners who have complex
needs thus enabling our children and adults with autism to remain in their local community with their families.
The alternative for many of BeyondAutism's learners could be residential care which would be significantly more
expensive. Other financial risks are monitored closely by way of monthly management reporting and mitigated by
conservative budgeting assumptions and analysis. Our Eady Years service is entirely funded by voluntary
donations and as such is subject to us continuing to raise funds to support this activity.
Due to a significant downturn in outreach and training income, coupled with lower-than-expected fundraised
income it has been necessary to draw on organisab'onal reserves, underwritten by the Board, to maintain Early
Years as free at the point of delivery.
Independent external audits are commissioned in respect of key areas of risk. these included safeguarding,
health & safety and data protection.

Future Plans
BeyondAutism's ongoing objective of increasing reach remains at the forefront of its growth objectives including
extending current operations outside of London. What form this takes will depend on what has been identified
through market research and analysis as most suitable and appropriate for the geographical area concerned. In
London, BeyondAutism's Post-19 provision is now a fully independent specialist provider registered with the
Department for Education and BeyondAutism is keen to open additional hubs to cater for the ever increasing
demand.
The Early Years seNice will reduce operations to 3 days a week whilst funding is secured. aiming to increase
back to full-time as soon as is viable.
We continue to develop and expand our outreach. fast responder and training offer.
It has been necessary to restructure the senior management team in preparation for 2024125.

TRUSTEES. REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
The Trustees (who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act) present their report
together with the audited financial statements of BeyondAutism (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2024.
The Trustees confirm that the financial statements comply with current statutory obligations, the requirements of
the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association and 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 2015).
Public Benefit
The Trustees consider that BeyondAutism provides a public benefit. BeyondAutism provides education and
support for children and adults with autism and their families. BeyondAutism schools and its Post 19 service
provide schooling and education for leamers from a number of London Boroughs within commutable distance.
Student placements are funded by Local Authorities. The expanding outreach provision seeks to train the
trainers within mainstream schools so children with autism can maintain their placements there rather than being
necessarily channelled through a specialist provision. The earfy years, service is free to users and is funded by
grants and donations. It is run on an intervention basis for parents of pre-school children as a touchpoint for
those with identified social and communciation needs or a recent diagnosis of autism. Our behaviour analyst
specialists work with the parent and child together to find ways to encourage the development of communication
skills and calm behaviours that challenge. It has proved immediately popular particularly for families who may not
be able to afford expensive home programmes and who might find themselves quite isolated in a neurolypical
world. The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on
public benefit when reviewing the chariWs aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular,
the Trustees consider how planned acb'vib'es will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.

such as the cost of living. Benchmarking exercises are carried out on a regular basis.
The schools are supported by a Governing Body that operates as a sub-committee of the Board of Trustees. The
Chair of the Governing Body receives no remuneration. Other members are made up of parents, staff,
community and local authority representatives. The Board of Trustees delegates the schools, development and
review to the Goveming Body. this includes school self-evaluation and school development plan, pupil progress,
operational school policies and procedures. Likewise, the post 19 service is supported by an Advisory Board.
The Board of Trustees receives regular reports from the Governing Body and the post 19 Advisory Board. to
enable them to oversee performance and progress.

TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Therapists
BeyondAutism employs a number of speech and language (SaLT) and occupational (OT) therapists who provide
therapy programmes either directly or indirectly (through a tutor) depending on the stipulations made in the
EHCP.
Behaviour Analyst
Every class and provision has a qualified Behaviour Analyst who draws up the individual behavioural
programmes.
Advanced Skills Practioners
An ASP covers 2 classroms and is responsible for the training of tutors, leading small group learning sessions
and supporting the Behaviour Analysts.
Teaching and Learning Practioners and Mentors (fLPITLM)
Each learner is paired with an TLP tutor on a one to one basis. In exceptional circumstances the care may be
based on a 2 TLP to 1 leamer pairing. The TLP look after the safety and security of the learner and ensure that
the learner is focussed on the specific task at hand. In the schools, TLP work in teams of 2 within a class,
sharing and rotating their duties with the leamers. This helps to raise the variety of the role and reduce burn out
in particularly challenging behaviour.
Behaviour programmes are based on an analysis of what motivates an individual with autism to behave in certain
ways. Each skill the individual needs to learn is broken down into small, achievable steps. Each step is worked
on in a systematic and consistent way. using an appropriate "reinforcemeny, or reward to encourage the
behaviours needed for future learning. Evidence and data are collected of the leamer's progress, so that targets
and motivators can be adjusted along the way according to what is and is not working for a particular child.
Reinforcement systems - which seek to link desired behaviour with good outcomes from the learner's point of
view - are particularly important for people with autism, given they may lack the 'social desire to please, that is
often present in the neuro-typical. Behaviour Analysis techniques teach individuals with autism how to learn and
can therefore be applied to the widest range of skills from speech and language, self-care and motor skills,
through to reading and writing.
To deliver the precision and consistency of the behaviour programmes, staff undergo continuous,
comprehensive and intensive training of both a theoretical and a practical nature. This is provided by more senior
staff with qualifications and more extensive experience in using Behaviour Analysis techniques. Specific teaching
strategies are explained and demonstrated and then observed with feedback provided. Teaching and behaviour
plans are developed and monitored by senior staff.
Fundraising
The Trustees are extremely grateful to the many individuals. companies and organisations that raise funds for
the charity or donate their services in kind.

TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Fundraising approach and perfomiance
Fundraising support is important to the sustainability of our charity. and as such we meet the highest fundraising
standards to retain the trust and support of our donors. We were delighted to register with the Fundraising
Regulator as a sign of our continued commitment to the Fundraising Code of Practice and are also members of
the Charlered Institute of Fundraising. Our policies and compliance with fundraising regulations are reviewed
annually.
When registering with the Fundraising Regulator, we confimed our pact to uphold the Fundraising Promise to
donors. The Fundraising Promise is an extension of our own code of ethics, which recognises our fundraising
responsibilities-
In equal measure. a responsibility to those who use our servi￿$ and our donors.
Those who use our services have a right to expect any representation to donors to be dignified and a true
reflection of circumstances.
To never knowingly misrepresent the charity to the general public andlor our donors.
To only spend restricted donations on the project specified at time of application or donation.
To keep the confidence of any donors who wish to remain anonymous.
To act immediately should any donor ask for their details to be removed from the charivs contact list.
In the year to 31 August 2024 we did not contract any company to undertake fundraising on our behalf. We have
been lucky to work with partners including Enthuse, JustGiving, Give as you Live and Giveability to help make
giving and fundraising easier for supporters.
Our fundraising team are committed to working in line with BeyondAutism values and fundraising ethics, which
we reinforce through regular learning and development. We don't undertake any fundraising door-to-door activity
or ask for direct debit donations on the street. Personal data is not shared without prior permission beyond the
BeyondAutsim network. We don't sell personal data. We don't'cold-call, people for fundraising purposes.
In addition to the Fundraising Codes of Conduct, we abide by related regulations. such as the Data Protection
Act (including GDPR) and Charities Act. We are also members of Institute of Fundraising. There were no
complaints received by the charity during the year.
The Trustees monitor fundraising performance through written and verbal reports delivered at each Board
meeting.
Financial Review
Results for the year ended 31 August 2024 show total income of £10,697,914 (2023.. £10,163.456) and an
overall net deficit amount of £971,083 (2023 net deficit £328,376). The statement of cash flows shows a net
inflow from operating activities of £2,031,929 {2023 oufflow of £770,353) with an overall increase in cash and
cash equivalents for the year of £1.774,331 (2023 decrease of £1,034,310).
Voluntary income (i.e. fund raising and donations) was £290,119 (2023: £409,939). more information on which
has been provided earlier in the report.
Consequently the net assets of the charity have declined from £2.826,903 to £1,855,820 as at 31 August 2024.

TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Reserves
Reserves totalled £1,855,820 at the year end. Of these. unrestricted reserves amount to £863.704 and restricted
reserves £992,116. In the long term the Board would like to increase the balance on unrestricted reserves to an
amount representing 3 months of operating expenses even though current revenue streams (statutory funding
from local authorities) present little risk to the financial stability of the organisation. BeyondAutism's reserves
policy is reviewed annually as part of the budget approval process and the Board of Trustees has agreed that
reserves should be built up to the desired level in stages consistent with the charity's overall financial position
and business development plan. This trend is expected to be maintained with a view to increasing the level of
free reserves over time until the target, revised as appropriate. is achieved.
Employees
It is the Company's policy to give full and fair consideration to employees, workers and potential employees
without regard to race, colour, nationality or national origin, sex, gender reassignment. marriage, disability, age,
sexual orientation, religion or belief. All Company policies, practi￿$ and procedures relating to resourcing,
training, development and promotion are administered equally and in accordance with all applicable laws.
It is the CoMpan￿S policy to provide equal opportunities in all aspects of employment from the sourcing and
selection of candidates, recruitment and training of employees to terms and conditions of employment and
reasons for termination of employment and to ensure that any employment decisions are taken without reference
to irrelevant or discriminatory criteria.
Communication with employees has continued through weekly staff meetings. training and e-mails so all
employees are aware of the key priorities for BeyondAutism and its services.

preparing the Trustees, Annual Report (including the Strategic Report) and the financial statements in

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BEYONDAUTISM
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Beyondautism (the 'charity) for the year ended 31 August 2024
which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the
related notes, 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 charitable companvs affairs as at 31 August 2024 and of its
incoming reSoUr￿S and application of resources, including its income and expendilure for the year then
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice., and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Ihe 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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit
of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom,
including the Financial Reporting Council'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
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 unceriainties relating to events or
conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable companls 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 Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the
relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BEYONDAUTISM {CONTINUED)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial
statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained
within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the
financial statements themselves. 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.
Opinion on other matters 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 for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared is consistent with the financial ststements.
the Trustees. Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the
course of the audit. we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees, Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 infomation and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of 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 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 restK)nsible for assessing the charitable companvs ability
to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic altemative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BEYONDAUTISM {CONTINUED)
Auditorfs 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 Auditorfs 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.
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 ststements, 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.
The specific procedures for this engagement that we designed and performed to detect material misstatements
in respect of irregularities, including fraud, were as follows-
Enquiry of management and those charged with govemance around actual and potential litigation and
claims-
Enquiry of management and those charged with governan￿ to identify any material instances of non-
compliance with laws and regulations-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance
with applicable laws and regulations.
Perfomiing audit work to address the risk of irregularities due lo management override of controls, including
testing of joumal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. evaluating the business rationale of
significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for
evidence of bias.
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.or
.uklaudilorsres
nsibilities. This description forms part of our
Auditorfs Report.

Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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 2015). the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other
purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Accounting policies {continued}
1.6 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit
to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs
of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs
involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocaled directly
to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are
not attributable to a single activity are apportioned beiween those activities on a basis consistent with
the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation
charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance
with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the charitys educational operations,
including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable
activities.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. Afler recognition, under the cost model, tangible
fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be
included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value
over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases-
Freehold buildings
Freehold refurbishments
Leasehold property
Motor vehicles
Fumiture and equipment
Computer equipment
4°A straight line
10°/o Straight line
20°/o Straight line
25°/o Straight line
10°/o Straight line
25°/o Straight line
1.8 Operating leases
Rentsls under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities incorporating
Income and Expenditure Accounts on a straight line basis over the lease term.
1.9 Debtors
Fees and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.10 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity
of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
Accounting policies {continued}
1.11 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past
event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount
of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity
anticipates it will pay to setlle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the
goods or services it must provide.
1.12 Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the
amounts payable by the charity to the fund in respect of the year.
1.13 Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently
measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.14 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet
date and the amounts reported for income and expenditure during the year. However, the nature of
estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect
on amounts recognised in the financial statements:
Tangible fixed assets (see note 9)
Tangible fixed assets are depreciatied over their useful lives taking into account residual values,
where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may
vary depending on a number of factors.
Allocation of expenditure
Where expenditure is not directly attributable to activity categories. costs are apportioned on the
basis of various factors such as an estimate of time spent on activities by staff.

19. Pension commitments
Teachers. Pension Scheme
The Teachers, Pension Scheme {TPS) is a statutory, contributory, defined benefit scheme, govemed by
the Teachers, Pensions Regulations (2010) and, from 1 April 2014. by the Teachers, Pension Scheme
Regulations 2014. Membership is automatic for full-time teachers and, from 1 January 2007, automatic for
teachers in part-time employment following appointment or a change of contract, although they are able to
opt out.
The TPS is an unfunded scheme and members contribute on a 'pay as you go, basis- these contributions
along with those made by employers are credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension
benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.
Not less than every four years the Govemment Actuary, using normal actuarial principles, conducts a
formal actuarial review of the TPS in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and
Employer Cost Cap) Directions 2014 published by HM Treasury. The aim of the review is to specify the
level of future contributions. Actuarial scheme valuations are dependent on assumptions about the value
of future costs, design of benefits and many other factors. The latest actuarial valuation of the TPS was
carried out as at 31 March 2020 and in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and
Employer Cost Cap) Directions 2014. The valuation report was published by the Department for Education
on 27 October 2023.
The key elements of the valuation and subsequent consultation are:
Employer contribution rates set at 28.68°/o of pensionable pay (including a 0.08 /0 employer
administration charge). This is an increase of 5 % in employer contribution and the cost
control result is such that no changes in member benefits needed.
Total scheme liabilities (pensions currently in payment and the estimated cosl of future
benefits) for service to the effective date of £262,000 million. and notional assets (estimated
future contributions together with the notional investments held at the valuation date) of
£222,220 million giving a notional past service deficit of £39,800 million
The result of this valuation will be implemented from 1 April 2024. The next valuation result is due to be
implemented from 1 April 2028.
A copy of the valuation report and supporting documentation is on the Teachers, Pensions website.
Under the definitions set out in FRS 102. the TPS is an unfunded multi-employer pension scheme. The
charity has accounted for its contributions to the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. The
charity has set out above the information available on the scheme.
In 2024 the cost of pension contributions was £388,242 (2023: £306,888) including £174,668 (2023..
£152,025) to the TPS.
Beyondautism left the pension scheme on 31 August 2024.
