TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

Year 4 had a residential to Liddington. Year 5 and 6 had a residential to Caythorpe. Foundation year went to Hill Farm. Year 1 went on day trips to Woburn Safari Park and Frosts and Year 2 had a day trip to Whipsnade Zoo.

The school also enjoyed a visit from a theatre group who performed Cinderella.

Moving forward there is already another 2 residentials and a day trip booked.

During the school year the children undertake music lessons, with a number of different instruments being available including cello, violin, keyboard and woodwind. Parents now pay directly to Totally RAD for lessons.

Fundraising Activities

In planning the activities for the year, the trustees kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Friends of Hanslope School (FOHS), was dissolved during the year and a cheque for the closing balance of £2,335.26 was paid into the school fund under the new name Parent Teacher Association (PTA) on 8th March 2024. The Fundraising budget includes PTA monies.

The school fund also deals with the sale of book bags. Any fundraising undertaken by the children for specific reasons (for example Willen Hospice) is forwarded on to the relevant company or charity.

To raise funds for a new Trim-Trail the School’s PTA have held various events, for example: a nonschool uniform day, car-boot sale, second-hand clothes sale, ice-lolly sale and a Summer Fete.

COIF – CCLA Charities Deposit Fund

The account is performing well and is enabling us to support those children within the school who need it. The fund balance, as reported in the statement of 31 August 2024, was £24,084.25. Grants totaling £2,300 were awarded during the 2023-24 period.

BEQUEST

To manage and administer the bequest received by Hanslope School in accordance with criteria stipulated.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The objective of a charity is not to make a surplus/deficit but to ensure that expenses are covered. The financial results show a surplus of £5,031 for this year mainly driven by the tuition fees that are now paid directly by parents. The previous year had a deficit of (£2,652).

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

We will continue the enhancement of positive mental health and the provision of facilities for all our pupils.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HANSLOPE COMBINED SCHOOL FUND

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 7.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

SCHEME FOR FINANCING SCHOOLS

Given the information provided, for the completion of the schools Independent Examiners Report for review of the voluntary funds, I can confirm that no Dedicated School Funds are being administered via voluntary of private funds.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

In connection with my examination, I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did 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.
