New Maranatha Christian School Trust 

## Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2025 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The charity's principal activities comprise the advancement of education for children between the ages of 3 and 18 years promoting the Christian Faith, in particular by the provision of a School or Schools based on Christian principles, values and doctrines. Public benefit: Our vision is to be the school of choice for Christian parents who want their children to achieve academic and vocational excellence, developing Godly character and a Biblical worldview in an affordable, loving Christian environment. Our school supports families and students from a diverse range of backgrounds. By providing a fully rounded education to a high standard, the school is able to ensure each student fulfils their potential and are equipped to make a useful contribution to society as a whole. For most families, the cost of sending their children to the school requires significant sacrifice. The bursary fund assists in meeting the public benefit requirement by providing funds for students based on assessed financial need, ensuring access is not limited by economic circumstances. Many staff work at lower pay scales than comparative roles in state schools in order to support the school in fulfilling its vision and ensure the school is financially accessible to as many families as possible. 

## **Public benefit** 

Our vision is to be the school of choice for Christian parents who want their children to achieve academic and vocational excellence, developing Godly character and a Biblical worldview in an affordable, loving Christian environment. Therefore, we want our school to be accessible to families and students from all walks of life. This means that our fees structure is at a level which makes every effort to ensure education is affordable. However, the school is aware that some families may have difficulty in paying these fees, as such it provides bursaries for children whose families are unable to meet the full cost of their education. By providing a fully rounded education to a high standard the school is able to ensure each student fulfils their potential, in turn, enabling them to make a useful contribution to society as a whole. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

During the year, the school had between 60 and 90 pupils. The school has continued to invest in employing experienced and qualified teaching staff. The school successfully navigated the complexities of VAT registration as part of the evolving operational responsibilities. In addition, policies and procedures have been reviewed and, where necessary, updated to reflect latest regulations and advice. 

The school continues to actively collaborate with other charitably run Christian schools in the region to share best practice, resources and opportunities for students to broaden their networks. The trustees are confident that safeguarding is prioritised across the school and continues to work closely with the local authority where appropriate for Safeguarding guidance and support. The school continued to operate from premises that are provided by a beneficiary on a low-cost basis. These premises are provided on a long-term lease which was renewed in academic year 24/25. 

During the year and since the year end, Mirabel Osayi (October 2025) and Mandy Gilchrist (October 2025) were appointed as trustees and Bobby Agwu (December 2025) and Stuart Hook (July 2025) resigned from their roles as trustees. The trustees are hoping to appoint further trustees in the next year. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

During the year ended 31 August 2025, the school received total income of £548,278, primarily from school fees, individual donations, fundraising events and gifts to the bursary fund. Expenditure totalled £481,281, resulting in a net income of £66,997k. The school received c.£160k in gifts and donations in the year, with a large one-off gift from a generous donor. 

The Trust is ultimately sustained on the basis of charitable gifts, and the school has explicit support from a beneficiary and from parents which supports the going concern status. 

This gives the Trustees confidence that the school can meet its financial obligations. We expect to receive further gifts in 2025/26 to support the operation of the school, and the Trustees aim to build a cash surplus over the next 3-5 years.

## Report of the Trustees 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The school has a reserves policy which targets a reserves balance equivalent to 3 months of operational expenditure (c. £100,000). As at 31 August 2025, the school did not meet this target. The trustees accept that the reserves target is a goal and not yet reached but are aiming to achieve this policy in the next 3 to 5 years. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The Trust is aiming to meet the educational needs of more families and children in future years. The school continues to communicate with churches across Swindon and, through the website, reach parents across the UK to highlight the opportunities the school provides. The trust's short-term aim is to reach the capacity of the current premises with a vision to extend the model and provide Christian Education to more families and pupils. The Trust recognises the importance of investing in the teaching staff and will continue to prioritise their professional development, empowering them to deliver excellent education that meets the diverse needs of the student body. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust drawn up on on 10th May 2002. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The trustees are appointed at general meetings of the charity. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the school is exposed and, where appropriate, have implemented systems to manage those risks. 

A risk register is maintained, reviewed and updated by the trustees.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of New Maranatha Christian School Trust 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of New Maranatha Christian School Trust** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of New Maranatha Christian School Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

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.
