Objectives and activities
Policies and objectives
In selling objectives and planning for aclivilies, Ihe Trustees have had due regard to the general
guidance published by the Charity Commission relating lo public benefit and in particular lo it5
supplementary public benefrt guidance on advancing education, on fee-ch8rging and selling the
donation acceplanca policy for the year.
The mission of the school is to promote and provide for the advan￿ment of education of the public in
accordance with the teachings of Dr Rudolf Steiner and in particular, lo conduct a school or schools
for the education of children.
Strategles for achieving objectives
Slelner education in general. and our school in particulai, is about the protection of childhood and an
education for the future. for freedom of the individual to be master of himself or herself and be able lo
work socially for others. The education arises from a study and understanding of the human being in
body, soul and spirit to meet the academic, soci81 and spiritual needs of developing young people.
The cosmopolitan nature of life in London brings our school's children into daily ¢onla¢l with people of
many different backgrounds and nalionalilies. This makes for a vibrant and exciting school experience.,
the deep respect toward all human beings that is the foundation of all Waldorf educallon. encouraging
enlhvsiasm for life, and an active interest in the WOTld. We aim lo help our children orienlale
themselves towards whatever comes lo meet them in life whilst they are still growing. as well as when
they become adults. We need to respond within our education lo the constantly changing needs of the
world. in order lo create flexible, s¢xially aware creative thinkers who are able lo act in that world.

Activities for achieving objectives
Since opening in Sepl&mber 2001, the school has become well established. The school moved into its
premises in Hanworth Park in July 2012.
Our pupil numbers dLJring the past year were on average 132 children in 2 kindergartens and 12
classes. catering lo children from 3 10 18 years old. We continue lo provide subject lessons in
Spanish, Music, Art, Crafts, Gardening, Games, Eurylhmy, Geman, Handwork, Religion and Global
Issues. Most leaching staff are fully trained Steiner Waldorf teacheTS. We had one child with an
Education Health and Care Plan in the year under consideration. There are some other children who
require extra support, but we are able lo meet their needs within the normal classes and curriculum.
We offer discounts to people whose children would have lo leave the school if they were expected lo
pay the full fee. Financially, Ihis makes sense as the classes are not full and subsidised places sb"Il
bring in some revenue. We would like lo further develop and grow this grant bul al the moment we are
not able lo support all families in financial need.
Realising that growth in the early years is essential for the future stability of the school, the school
continues lo run three lo four'PaTenl & Child, groups each week, which were very well allended.
Parents continued actively fundraising and supporling the school in other ways menlioried, a5 well as
giving freely of their time for some rNainlenance of the building, gardening, marketing and outreach
work in the community.
During this a¢¢oLJnling period the school has continued lo invest in ils bursary and fees support
schemes. allowing those on low incomes lo access the education, support and training that the school
provides lo children, parents and carers. The school has not only provided the accommodation bul
also the organizalional and educational inputs for a number of training and CPD courses during this
period. Participants have come from not only the school's parent body, bul from local res￿entS an
from trainee teachers from the UK and beyond.
The school continued lo invest into improving and adding to ils accommodation. permilling expansion
in facilities for learning, sport and dedicated Parent and Child Group aclivilies, as well as a new
classroom foi the High School. The s¢hool's pupi15 have benef￿1¢d during this period from th& school
investing in school educational trip5 Wrthin the UK.
Bursary policy
This year the value of means le8ted bursaries tolalled £65,944 1£33,500 in 20221 and represented
5.6 /.12.4 /0 in 20221 of our gross fees. They provided assistance lo 10115 in 20221 of our pupils. We
are aiming lo bring our accounts lo surplus by increasing pupil numbers which would also allow a
higher bursary fund lo serve famili&s of any backgrounds.
The Trustees view our bursary awards as important lo help children from families who would
otherwise not be able lo afford the fees lo access the education we offer. All families in our school are
considered for our bursary awards. which are made solely on the basis of pa￿ntaI means or lo relieve
hardship Whe￿ a pupil's èdu¢alion and future prospe¢ls would olhetwise be 81 risk, for exampl& in the
case of reduridancy. In assessing means we lake a number of laclors into consideration including
family in¢ome, investments and savings and family circumstances. for example dependent relatives
and the number of siblings. However, our school does not have a large endowment and in funding our
awards we have lo be mindful that we musl ensure a balance between fee-paying parents, many of
whom make considerable personal sa¢rifices lo fund their child's eotucation, and those benefiting from
the awards.
Information about fee assistance through bursaries is provided to all pupils of the school.

To underline the value, we place on ¢onlinuity for families. we offei discounts where parents have
MO￿ than one child at the school.
Going concèrn
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has
adequate resources lo continue in operational existence for the foreseeable lulure. For this reason,
they continue lo adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial slalemenls.
The basis for the assumption is that the lenders of Loan 1 £7.000 and Loan 2 £8,900 have advised
that the loan is being repaid al £1,500 and £700 per month respectively. The school also plans lo
have, as a minimum, a balanced budget for the 2023-24 year and Continue lo seek for additional
donations where possible.

numbers in the classrooms (Ages 7-18 years). We offer the Certificate of Steiner Education ICSEI in
our Upper School in order lo provide a broad and innovative Steiner education lo our pupils from age

Accountlng poll¢les (contlnu6d)
Tangible assets

accumulated depreciation and impairment 10sse5. Any tangible assets Carried al revalued
amounts are recorded al the fair value al the dale of revaluation less any subsequent
accumijlaled deprecialion and SLJbsequenl ac¢umul8led impairment losses.

value. over the useful economic lrfe of that asset as follows..
Leasehold improvements
Fixtures and fillings
over the lease term
3 year slraighl lina
Impairment of fixed assets
A review lor indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting dale, wrth the recoverable
amount being eslimaled where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds Ihe
recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior irllpaimenls are also reviewed for
possiljle reversal at each reporting dale.
Flnanclal Instruments
A fillancial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party lo the
contractual provish)ns of the inslrumenl.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised al the amount receivable or payable including
any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement conslilules a financing Iransaclion. where

inl&resl for a similar debt inslrumenl.

consideration expected lo be paid or recewed and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured al amortised cost.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions lo defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which
the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset lo the exienl
that the prepayment will lead lo a recluclion in fulure payments or a cash refvnd.
When contributions are not expected lo be sellled wholly within 12 months of the end of the

discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in
the period in which it arises.
