TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Year 4 had a residential to Liddington, Wiltshire. Year 5 and 6 had a residential to Osmington, Weymouth. Foundation year went to Haversham Farm. Year 1 went on day trips to Woburn Safari Park and Frosts and Year 2 had a day trip to Whipsnade Zoo. Year 3 went to Bradwell Abbey Discovery Centre.
Moving forward there is already another 2 residentials and an in-school experience 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 pay directly to the individual providers for lessons.
Fundraising Activities
In planning the activities for the year, the trustees kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
The Fundraising budget includes PTA monies.
The school fund also deals with the sale of book bags. Any fundraising undertaken by the children for speci�c reasons (for example Children in Need and Comic Relief) 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: Christmas Fayre and Summer Fete. Other school fundraising events included a cookie sale.
A donation of £500 was also received from Bellway Homes and DPD.
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 at 31 August 2025, was £25,189. No grants were awarded during the 2024-25 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 £10,059 for this year driven by more money being raised through fundraising activites and a donation was made. This money is to be spent on a Trim Trial for the children. The previous year had a surplus of £5,031.
At the end of the year the £304 left in the Music Code was moved to the Parentpay code, making the balance £0. The Music Code was then removed because, as we reported last year, parents now pay directly to the provider. What was left in the Parentpay code was moved to the Residential code making it £0, and the Parentpay code was removed as it was no longer required.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
We will continue the enhancement of positive mental health and the provision of facilities for all our pupils.

HANSLOPE COMBINED SCHOOL FUND INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HANSLOPE COMBINED SCHOOL FUND
YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025 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 con�rm that no Dedicated School Funds are being administered via voluntary of private funds.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, I con�rm 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.
