Keystone Education Trust Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The charitable objects of the charity are the advancement of the education of children and young people aged five to eighteen in particular by assistance to their parents to enable such children to be taught otherwise than at school as defined in the Education Acts and any other charitable purpose for the benefit of the worldwide Christian fellowship known as the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.
In furtherance of its objects, the Trust provides premises under formal lease for an independent school, which has been run by OneSchool Global UK (OSGUK).
The charity also provides grant funding and other financial support to OSGUK at the discretion of the Trustees in order to enable OSGUK to provide a well-balanced education at primary and secondary levels, for children and young people whose parents appreciate the Christian ethos.
Success is measured in terms of the provision of appropriate facilities to OSGUK whilst minimising expenditure. This in turn, frees up funds for raising standards of education for all concerned and for the improvement of facilities for pupils and staff alike.
The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and have regard to it when reviewing their aims and objectives, and in planning their future activities. In particular they consider how planned activities will contribute to the educational aims and objectives they have set.
Volunteers are an integral part of the community ethos and values of the charity and there is a strong and willing group of volunteers who assist and support the charity throughout the year.
The trading activities of the charity’s trading subsidiary Magna Trading Limited (Registered Company 06311529), which operates a chain of convenience stores, are undertaken by volunteers.
Objectives, strategies and activities
Throughout the year the charity has continued to provide educational premises in support of the educational activities of OSGUK.
The charity has a wholly owned subsidiary company, Magna Trading Limited, which undertakes trading activities. All profits chargeable to corporation tax are gifted to the charity in support of the charitable activities of the charity.
Public Benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Financial Review
Financial Position
The charity is supported and financed principally by profits from its trading subsidiary Magna Trading Limited plus other ad hoc donations and those raised by fundraising events and grants from the Grace Trust. The Trustees believe that the charity's funds are sufficient to mitigate any short to medium term risk of reduced funding.
The charity's fundraising events principally operate within the Brethren community and professional fundraisers are not used. Neither the charity nor any person acting on behalf of the charity was subject to an undertaking to be bound by any voluntary scheme for regulating fund-raising, or voluntary standard for fund-raising in respect of activities on behalf of the trust.
In the year ended 31st December 2025 the charity reported a net deficit of £17,804 (2024 surplus of £18,166).
At the year end the charity had net current assets of £523 (2024 net current assets of £7,807).
The charity's policy is to maintain minimum free reserves at a level which equates to six months' unrestricted expenditure. At the year end 2025 the unrestricted reserves of the charity were £147,360 (31st December 2024 £165,164).
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to ...CONTINUED

Financial Position - continued
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.
Plans for future periods
Aims and key objectives for future periods
The trading subsidiary company (Magna Trading Limited) stopped trading in the year and is planning to close down in 2026. The trustees understand that OneSchool Global UK intends to close the Swansea Campus and relocate the schooling provision to a new merged campus in Cwmbran, together with the Bristol Campus. Consequently, OneSchool Global UK is not expected to acquire the Swansea property.
Following the termination of OneSchool Global UK’s lease, Keystone Education Trust will consider the most appropriate course of action for the Swansea property, including disposal of the asset where this is considered to be in the best interests of the Trust.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
Keystone Education Trust is constituted by a Deed of Trust dated 30 December 2002 and is registered with the Charity Commission for England.
The Trustees who served during the year and since the year end are set out on page 1. None of the Trustees, nor any person connected with them, received any remuneration from the charity in the year ended 31st December 2025 (year ended 31st December 2024 £nil).
The power to appoint Trustees is vested in the existing Trustees subject to the charity deed requirements. Trustees are selected according to their own specialism in a particular field and are expected to pursue that specialism. New Trustees are instructed in the need to completely adhere to the ethos and values of the charity.
New Trustees are appointed at charity meetings and training is given by the outgoing trustee being replaced, along with support from fellow Trustees.
Principal Risks
The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks that the charity faces. 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.
The principal risks to the charity are:
• risk of damage to the property held by the charity (although the property holds property insurance);
• risk of closure or relocation of the schooling by OneSchool Global UK.
There were no serious incidents relating to the charity over the year to report.

Keystone Education Trust Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual 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 the financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue as a going concern.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the charity 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

Keystone Education Trust Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Keystone Education Trust For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Keystone Education Trust (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 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 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent Examiner's Statement
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:
-
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; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents 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.

Keystone Education Trust Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
1. General Information
Keystone Education Trust is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission, registered charity number 1096922. The principal address is 31 Ystrad Road, Fforestfach, Swansea, SA5 4BT.
2. Statement of Compliance
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 2019)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting Policies
3.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
3.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The trustees have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
3.3. Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the trust 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 donors or which have been raised by the trust for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
3.4. Incoming Resources
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Charity, can be reliably measured.
Grants are included in the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Trust; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
3.5. Resources Expended
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.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Trust’s objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Page 8
Keystone Education Trust Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For The Year Ended 31 December 2025
3.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold 2% Straight Line Leasehold 10% Straight Line Plant & Machinery 20% Straight Line Fixtures & Fittings 20% Straight Line
3.7. Investments
3.8. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
3.9. 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.
