The Holland Park School Charity TRUSTEES’ REPORT Year Ended 31 March 2024
The Trust Director liaises directly with the Assistant Headteacher, also with the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme expedition leader, lan McClelland, and with those teachers involved in projects. In this way the Trust is kept informed of the school’s achievements, progress, and community needs, thus enabling the Trust to play a significant role in providing beneficial opportunities for the school’s students.
ADVISORS The names and addresses of the Charity’s advisors are shown on page one.
THE TRUST'S MISSION STATEMENT
“HPS Trust works seamlessly with teachers at the school, financing and running projects for which there is no public money, and which are aimed af raising the aspirations and ambitions of students, giving them the confidence and motivation to succeed and fuffill their potential.”
THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE TRUST The principal aim of the Trust is to support Holland Park School in the advancement and education of its students. The foremost objectives of the Trust are: e To fund projects that will benefit students beyond those financed by government. e Toraise funds to support the on-going activities of the Trust.
Since inception, the Trust has gained considerable experience working with the school's leaders and teachers to determine how best to support students’ academic, cultural and social needs.
“Just as it is the trustees’ strongly held belief that students should be supported in their aspirations to attend the best universities, equally so is their desire fo see those less academic students gain the exira help, encouragemeni, and the confidence they require to put them on the road to success. The drive and passion behind the Trust is due to the fact that we are able to help the school give ail its students a chance to lead positive and ambifious adult lives.”
A full statement of the revised aims of the Trust appears on the website, www.hpsirust.co.uk
GRANTS POLICY The Grants Committee, comprising a trustee, a representative of the school and the director, is responsible for assessing and recommending applications for funding, according to the objectives of the Trust. Their recommendations are considered for approval by trustees. The Trust has been able to sustain its long-term commitment to the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme thanks to its Patrons and donors who have offered important financial stability and allowed long-term planning and development to take place in the school. Also, this year, through maintaining its strong and effective links with the school, trustees were pleased to be able to award four new grants to support the specific needs of disadvantaged students. On-going discussions to further target support at disadvantaged students has continued during the year.

The Holland Park School Charity TRUSTEES’ REPORT Year Ended 31 March 2024
“The exceptional work of the Trust and the generosity of its Patrons, continues to provide our students with otherwise unachievable opportunities, benefiting their wider education and cultural maturity.” Academy Head
This year saw the reintroduction of several new projects, indeed, the first new projects since 2020 and the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. Maintaining their strong links with the school, Trustees were aware of the growing needs of students during this period and were fully supportive of the school in responding to its requests for grants.
- The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme The Foundation Level - the ‘Expedition Club' - is an initiative carefully planned and developed over the past two years. Now an established part of the D of E programme, it is no longer a six-week experience, but a rolling programme for twenty to thirty students running throughout the year, including three one-day expeditions in Richmond Park. The primary aim of nurturing and preparing disadvantaged students up to a level which will allow them to join the Bronze Award course, has been achieved. Such is student enthusiasm for the programme, a trip to Scotland is planned for next year.
The students on the Bronze Level programme demonstrated high standards of camping skills on their recent successful expedition on the South Downs. With high levels of student demand this year, further Health and Safety training will be provided for teachers to increase their involvement in the expeditions.
At Silver Level, this year's expedition to Purbeck proved a more challenging experience to that on the South Downs, not least because of the torrential rain and high winds! Students are benefitting from a new initiative - group and individual performance reviews. These aim to help them recognise important attributes - such as perseverance, robustness, assessing risk, and determination. Self-awareness is an important aspect of learning on any expedition, and particularly important at Silver Level, as most students will not progress to Gold Level.
Unfortunately, this year no students were able to progress to Gold Level - mainly due to A level pressures - however it allowed time to be redirected to Bronze and Silver levels, both of which benefited enormously mainly in fitness training, navigation, orienteering, Health & Safety and First Aid sessions.
As can be seen in the charts below, the popularity of expeditions continues to gather pace - the 49% increase in numbers reflects real enthusiasm for expeditions.

The Holland Park School Charity TRUSTEES’ REPORT Year Ended 31 March 2024
Trustees are grateful to lan McClelland, for his comprehensive review of the D of E project this year. His commitment, enthusiasm, planning, training programmes and outward-bound skills in the field are exemplary. Without his professionalism, especially under challenging circumstances, the D of E Award Scheme would not be as rewarding for students as it so clearly is today.
One student wrote to trustees about their Silver Award experience. The weather on the South downs had featured rainstorms and gale-force winds. He wrote:
“If it's not raining, it’s not training."
- Man Cave at HPS This project took place over the period of a term during which one hundred and eighteen boys took part in guided discussions on the controversial subject of ‘male identity’ - what it means, the issues raised, and the consequences of misogynistic behaviour in society.
One significant achievement of this project was the opportunity for young male students to reflect - in a safe and supportive environment - on how their adolescent experience is distinct from female students, on what pressing concerns boys have, and what they can learn from engaging in focussed discussions.
The key outcomes of the project were:
-
e Animprovement in individuals’ confidence about their own identities and experience of adolescence.
-
e A heightened understanding as to how certain behaviours can be perceived as misogynistic, and how to avoid this in a school, and in the wider community.
-
e A decrease in behavioural issues associated with acting out when situations felt challenging for individual students.
All students were asked what they had learned and what they would remember from the course. One student summarised:
“That words can be more damaging or helpful than you think, and you need to stop and think before you answer/respond to people or situations."
- Jamie’s Farm The aim of this project was to provide a group of twelve of the school’s most vulnerable younger students with a purposeful residential break from the constant challenges of both school and home life.
The five-day residential course involved living on a farm - which meant participating, taking responsibility, helping with the daily routines, tasks and duties necessary to run a working farm.
Educationally, it was a hugely valuable learning experience for all students. Their teachers reported that each student had learned the necessity of approaching their various tasks with a sense of responsibility, reliability, and trust.
Page 5
The Holland Park School Charity TRUSTEES’ REPORT Year Ended 31 March 2024
Each student was asked to comment about their experiences, these are just a few:
“On the Farm| liked being with the animals.
1am proud of pulling the baby sheep out of the mum. When | get back, | want to challenge myself to try new experiences in school.”
“Il was pleased with my cooking as | don't do it at home."
“Lam proud of how | faced my fears, and | was determined to do everything. People said | am loyal."
4, Football Beyond Borders This project was specifically aimed to give aspiring female students an intensive threeday residential experience of professional football coaching combined with a range of other sports activities. It was a unique and rewarding experience for all involved. In the words of students themselves:
“l really enjoyed PGL and the staff were really nice. I'm very grateful for all the opportunities to try new things, such as the giant swing and rock-climbing wall."
“Being coached by real football coaches was the best part and it was a really enjoyable weekend.”
- Do the Mike Thing This is a pastoral and safe-guarding project specifically devised to give disadvantaged and vulnerable students safe opportunities to discuss the challenges they face in their daily lives.
They share small group sessions with an experienced and trusted community worker who uses his musical skills to enhance the understanding of ‘emotions and feelings’ - giving students encouragement, confidence and direction.
“This project reaches our very most vulnerable students. These are the students who | worry about daily. If is incredible how the leader manages fo forge strong relationships with individual students and gives them the space to open up. The music is a by-product but gives each of them an increased sense of worth which, for such individuals, is hugely significant."
HPS Trust is grateful to Olivia Hill for the extensive project reviews she carried out this year.
FUNDRAISING
Fundraising continues to be a priority for Trustees.
Over the years renewed donations have allowed the Trust fo fund planning, organising, training and leading of the expedition element of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, for the years, 2023-2026.
With the school now operating as normal post-pandemic, trustees are very aware of the need to raise funds specifically to support an increasing number of requests for grants to

Year Ended 31 March 2024
meet the needs of disadvantaged and underprivileged students. Gaining parental support for the Trust and raising funds within the school is the next phase.
The Trust is most grateful to Patrons and donors for their commitment and support.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Trust continues to fund its activities through a combination of the founding donation, annual interest from the remaining sum and donations from its Patrons and supporters.
Throughout past years the Trust has been fortunate to receive a number of generous donations — with long-standing Patrons pledging support to.a range of educational projects for periods of three to five years. This year, following significant changes to the senior management team at the school and having held several meetings to establish new and effective links, the Trust extended its support for new proposals (see Future Plans, below).
Trustees are grateful to our current Patrons for pledging their support during a time where educational, social and welfare demands on students and teachers increase at pace.
During this financial year charitable donations to the Trust totalled £39,379 (2023: £21,400) of which £nil is restricted (2023: £10,000 restricted) and gift aid totalled £nil (2023: £5,053).
Lloyds Bank current account interest amounted to £3,078 (2023 £783).
The charity has £121,555 (2023: £128,686) total funds at the balance sheet date, with £51,689 (2023: £65,668) held as restricted funds and unrestricted general funds of £69,866 (2023: £63,018).
Trustees have considered the appropriateness of the going concern assumption for the preparation of the financial statements, as set out in Nofe 1.
FUTURE PLANS
Since its foundation in 2005, the Trustees of HPS Trust have aimed to disburse grants to Holland Park School which would enable the Trust to finance projects, purchase resources and provide opportunities to benefit students - beyond the statutory obligations of the government.
The philanthropic ambition of the founding Patrons was to help the school give its students a chance to lead positive and ambitious adult lives through experiencing the varied challenges involved in its range of educational projects and activities.
The specific aims and ambitions of Trustees over the next two years is to raise funds particularly to support The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme into the future, and to continue to fund agreed School Projects particularly to support underprivileged and disadvantaged students.
Page 7
The Holland Park School Charity TRUSTEES’ REPORT Year Ended 31 March 2024
The significant increase in students taking part in D of E expeditions raises the need for extra teacher supervisors in the field. We will look for ways of attracting young teachers to participate and recognise their commitment in doing so.
RESERVES POLICY
The Trust had total funds of £121,555 (2023: £128,686) at the date of the balance sheet, with unrestricted funds totalling £69,866 (2023: £63,018).

The trustees consider that the level of reserves is sufficient to enable it to continue to support Holland Park School.
