.

The school business and certain assets were sold on 11" May 2021 and the name of the Company was changed to SJS Realisations Limited by Special Resolution dated 28" April 2021 and filed at Companies House on 12" May 2021. As a result of this sale all trade attributable to the company therefore ceased on 11" May 2021. The contents of this report, including the aims and primary objectives of the entity remain relevant to the period ended 11" May 2021, and subsequent periods.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The Company is governed by Articles of Association as adopted by Special Resolution dated 20% March 2013, replacing those dated 8" June 2003 amended by Special Resolutions dated 25!" January 2006, 28th April 2009, 234% June 2009, 20 March 2013, 224 March 2021 and 15" July 2023. They permit funds to be managed in such a manner as the directors see fit, provided that such powers are only exercised for the purposes of attaining the objects and in a manner which is legally charitable. The Articles of Association forbid the distribution of any property or funds, which are to be applied solely towards the promotion of the objects of the Company.

Governing Body

The governors are the directors and charitable trustees of the Company and comprise the governing body of SJS Realisation Limited. The charitable company is governed by the governing body.

Recruitment and Training of Governors

All governors are Fellows of the Woodard Corporation. Fellows are responsible for electing the Woodard Board. Governors are recruited on the basis of nominations and the governing body look to ensure a mix of skills.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (incorporating the Strategic Report) YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2023

Organisational Management

The charitable company is governed by the governing body which met to take all significant decisions during the year. The previous committee structure was disbanded. The directors determine the general policy of the company.

The day-to-day management of the company has mostly passed either to the governors or is undertaken as part of Woodard Corporation's activities. All previous structures supporting the school whilst in operation ceased as the previous senior management team were transferred to the new employer at 11" May 2021.

Group Structure and Relationships

The charitable company does not have any subsidiaries or other group companies or charities.

CHARITABLE OBJECTS, AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Charitable Objects

The charity’s objects, as set out in the Articles of Association, are to promote and extend education (including spiritual, moral, social, cultural, and physical education) in accordance with the doctrines and principles of the Church. The Church is defined as being the Church of England and churches in full communion with the See of Canterbury. The charitable objectives are recognised as benefiting the public when pursued in the context of formal education in a body where all surplus funds are re-invested.

In setting objectives and planning activities the governors have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. SJS Realisations Limited is a charitable trust which seeks to benefit the public through the pursuit of stated aims.

Aims and Intended Impact

St James School was a boarding and day independent school for pupils from the ages of 3 to 18. It aimed to support children in reaching their potential in all areas of their activity at the school, and in the wider community. This may have been in academic subjects but could just as easily be reflected in success in art, drama, sport, music, or dance.

Primary objectives

After the sale of the land and buildings and transfer of operations to Alpha Schools on 11" May 2021, the aims of the company became realisation of all remaining assets, and settling of liabilities.

Strategies to achieve the primary objectives

The school council appointed a number of experts and other advisers to assist the charitable company in achieving its aims.

Principal Activities of the Year

The principal activity of the company since the cessation of school operations and sale of the assets and operations has been the realisation of assets, chasing amounts owing, settling liabilities and ensuring that the wind down of the charitable company could be achieved successfully.

Public Benefit

Within the objects, the school aimed to create an environment to nurture children, to get the best from them and allow them to develop and fulfil their potential. The public benefit aim was that all pupils were. self-confident and desired to contribute to the wider community. As stated above, in realising the assets the governors have been ensuring that the public benefit aim is delivered, as far as possible. Any excess of proceeds after the sale of the land and buildings and settlement of liabilities will be used for purely charitable purposes in pursuit of the public benefit.

In the furtherance of these aims the SJS Realisations governors, as the charity trustees, have complied with the duty in s.17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's published general and relevant sub-sector guidance concerning the operation of the public benefit requirement under that Act.

It is a key requirement of evidencing public benefit that any private benefit to individuals or elements of

the charity will be incidental to the charity’s objectives. An example of private benefit may be the reimbursement of travelling expenses for directors attending training courses: any private benefits to : individuals or elements of Woodard are incidental to delivery of the charitable objectives.

STRATEGIC REPORT

REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR

Achievements and Performance in the Year

Following the regrettable decision to transfer school operations and sell the land and buildings in May 2021 the governors have continued to arrange for recovery of any outstanding assets and settlement of all liabilities. As at 31st August 2023, deferred amounts were anticipated from the buyer, and debts owed to the charitable company were being followed and settled.

;

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The net gain for the year was £535,375 (2022: deficit of (£18,898)).

in the year under review the overall expenditure of the company was focused on post-operation activity including archiving records, collection of debts and administration of the company. Operational activity to generate income had ceased.

Reserves Level and Policy, and Financial Viability

Following closure, the reserves policy concentrates on realising the assets in order to pay liabilities, and using any surplus funds to pursue the charitable purposes. This policy is dependent on protecting the assets and maximising their value.

Unrestricted funds increased by £535,375 to total a surplus of £71,708, as shown in note 17.

Of the school’s total reserves of £85,893 at the year-end, £14,275 were restricted funds and £71,708 were unrestricted funds.

As detailed further in the going concern section of the Directors’ Report, the business activities of the company and certain business assets were sold to Alpha Schools (Holdings) Limited on 11" May 2021. It is intended that SUS Realisations Limited will commence the necessary steps to undertake a voluntary winding up of the company as soon as practicabie.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The governing body is responsible for the identification and management of risks. The major risks, to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the directors, have been reviewed and systems or procedures have been established to manage those risks. A formal review of the risk management processes is undertaken annually.

.

The principal risks to which the charitable company was exposed, in the view of the governing body at 315t August 2023, included those affecting security and preservation of charitable assets both now and in the future. Significant risk areas are:

The key controis used by the charitable company include:

. DIRECTORS’ REPORT (incorporating the Strategic Report) YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2023

With its limited ambitions, the charitable company planned strategically having regard for risk. Advisers and staff provided the governing body with regular reports of progress to realising the limited aims of the charitable company.

The strategy for realisation was discussed between the governing body and the Woodard Board.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The charitable company uses financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprising loans, cash and other liquid resources and various other items such as trade debtors and creditors that arise directly from operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the school’s operations.

The main issues arising from the school's financial instruments are liquidity risk and interest rate risk in the longer term. The school's directors adopt policies for managing each of the risks and these are summarised as follows:

GOING CONCERN

As discussed in more detail in the going concern section of Accounting Policies, the directors consider that the preparation of the financial statements on a non-going concern basis reflects the sale of the business activities and certain assets of SJS Realisations Limited to Alpha Schools (Holdings) Limited on 11 May 2021. It is intended that SJS Realisations Limited will realise its remaining assets, settle outstanding liabilities and then the parent company will commence the necessary steps to undertake a voluntary winding up of the company.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SJS REALISATIONS LIMITED (FORMERLY ST. JAMES SCHOOL, GRIMSBY LIMITED) YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2023 7

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of SJS Realisations Limited (formerly St. James’ School, Grimsby Limited) (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 August 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financia! Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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:

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 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. Emphasis of matter— Non-going concern basis of accounting We draw attention to Note 1(b) to the financial statements, which describes the basis of preparation of the financial statements on a non-going concern basis. As described in Note 1(b), the company ceased trading following the sale of the school’s business activities and certain assets on 11th May 2021, and the directors have concluded that it is no longer appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. There have been no adjustments made to the financial statements as a result of the application of the non-going concern basis of accounting. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Directors’ Report and Financial Statements other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Directors’ Report and Financial Statements. 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 misstaternent of this other information, we are required to report that fact. ,

We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SJS REALISATIONS LIMITED (FORMERLY ST. JAMES SCHOOL, GRIMSBY LIMITED) YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2023

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

in the light of the 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 Directors’ Report or the Strategic Report included within the Directors’ Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 6, the directors (who are also the trustees 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 directors 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 directors are responsible for assessing the charitable company’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 directors either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s 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 auditor's 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.

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations . that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit.

In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit.

: SJS REALISATIONS LIMITED (FORMERLY ST. JAMES SCHOOL, GRIMSBY LIMITED) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SJS REALISATIONS LIMITED (FORMERLY ST. JAMES SCHOOL, GRIMSBY LIMITED) YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2023

However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team:

As a result of these procedures, we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 102), Companies Act 2005, Charities Act 2011, the charitable company’s governing document, and tax legislation. We performed audit procedures to detect non-compliances which may have a material impact on the financial statements which included reviewing the financial statements including the Directors’ Report, remaining alert to new or unusual transactions which may not be in accordance with the governing documents, and inspecting correspondence with local tax authorities.

The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls as the area where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to testing manual journal entries and other adjustments, evaluating the business rationale in relation to significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside the normal course of business, and challenging judgments and estimates.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

SJS REALISATIONS LIMITED (FORMERLY ST. JAMES SCHOOL, GRIMSBY LIMITED)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2023

  1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies, all of which have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year are:

a) Basis of Accounting

The accounts have been prepared under the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (“SORP (FRS102)') and with applicable UK Accounting Standards. They are drawn up on the historical cost accounting basis.

SJS Realisations Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under Financia! Reporting Standard (FRS) 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS 102 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Further details are provided in the accounting policies for depreciation of fixed assets, for pensions and for bad debts. The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), and the functional currency is also sterling (£).

b) Going Concern

The school's business activities and certain assets of SJS Realisations Limited were sold to Alpha Schools (Holdings) Limited on 11° May 2021. Following the transition, it is intended that SJS Realisations Limited will commence the necessary steps to undertake a voluntary winding up of the company as soon as practicable. The parent company, The Woodard Corporation, will ensure that all external liabilities are settled and will endeavour to recover monies owed. It is likely that there will ultimately be a shortfall in funds, and monies owed to The Woodard Corporation by SJS Realisations Limited are unlikely to be repaid in full.

The directors therefore consider that the preparation of the financial statements on a non-going concern basis is appropriate. There have been no adjustments made to the financial statements as a result of the application of the non-going concern basis of accounting.

c) School Fees Receivable and Similar Income

.

Fees receivable and other educational income are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided. Fees receivable are stated after deducting allowances, scholarships and other remissions by the school, but include contributions received from restricted funds for scholarships, bursaries and other grants. Fees in Advance Scheme Contracts are those fees received in advance of education to be provided in future years under a specific contract. The fees are held as investments in interest bearing assets until either taken to income to match liabilities in the term when used, or else refunded. Any surplus of assets over liabilities is held within the fund as a buffer. Debts are provided for if not recovered within one term. Estimating amounts to provide against recovery of debts is a matter of judgement.

d) Ancillary and Non-Ancillary Trading Income

Ancillary trading income represents amounts from activities to generate funds within the charitable objects for example, school shop sales, coaches to and from school and school trips. Non-ancillary trading income represents amounts from activities not directly related to the charitable objects, for example lettings of school facilities out of term time and rental from spare school buildings. Income from these activities is recognised in the SOFA when the goods are sold, or services provided.

e) Voluntary sources, Grants and Donations

Voluntary incoming resources are accounted for as and when entitlement arises, the amount can reliably be quantified, and the economic benefit is considered probable.

Voluntary income for general purposes is accounted for as unrestricted and is credited to the General Reserve. Where the donor or an appeal has imposed trust law restrictions, voluntary income is

;

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2023

.

credited to the relevant restricted fund and incoming endowments are accounted for as permanent trust capital or expendable trust capital, according to whether the donor intends retention to be permanent or not. Gifts in kind are valued at estimated open market value at the date of gift, in the case of assets for retention or consumption, or at the value to the school in case of donated services or facilities.

f) Expenditure

Expenditure is accrued as soon as there is a contractual obligation or a liability is considered probable, discounted to present value for longer term liabilities. Expenditure is allocated to expense headings either on a direct cost basis or apportioned according to time spent. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expense to which it relates. Bad debts are provided for in accordance with the group bad debt policy.

The cost of refurbishing and converting existing buildings is written-off in the year in which it is incurred except where the useful life has been extended.

Other costs include amounts accrued in accordance with the terms of Fees in Advance Scheme Contracts.

h) Pension Costs

The school company participated in the Teachers’ Pensions scheme, which is an unfunded government scheme which provide benefits based on final pensionable pay. The funds of the scheme are separate from the company, although the company’s share of the scheme cannot be identified as the scheme is a multi-employer scheme, and so the pension costs are accounted for as a defined contribution scheme. The company also contributed to other defined contribution pension schemes for non-teaching staff.

i) Financial Instruments

SJS Realisations Limited 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.

j) Investments

Investments are carried at fair value, which is deemed to be market value as at the balance sheet date.

Unrealised gains and losses arising on the revaluation of investments are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities and are allocated to the appropriate fund according to the ‘ownership’ of the underlying assets. Realised gains and losses are the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value where the investment was held at the beginning of the year, or sales proceeds less cost of purchase where the investment was acquired in the year. The revaluation reserve reflects the accumulated total of unrealised gains. Uninvested cash is the balance of liquid cash, held as an investment, which has not been invested in securities.

k) Fund Accounts

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the directors for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

SJS Realisations Limited is a registered charity and as such is exempt from income tax and corporation tax under the provisions of Section 478 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010. There is no similar exemption for VAT, which is included in expenditure or in the cost of assets as appropriate.
