Summary of School Year 2019-20
Since January 2020, the School’s work has been heavily interrupted by the Covid-19 outbreak, including an almost complete closure just before the start of the first lockdown. As a result, many planned works had to be suspended, including the AGM & school magazine.
Despite of all the difficulties, some works were still carried out during this period:
- Edexcel exam related work
Exam registration started before the first lockdown.
During the lockdown, the relevant staff frequently met to discuss how to respond to the exam boards’ new policy for the exams that year. An arrangement was put in place to resume teaching for exam classes. Parents were informed, and students who had to have evidence-based exam results last year were supported.
2. Arrangements for non-exam classes
- A large number of online resources to support homeschooling were provided to all parents before the start of the first lockdown.
After the initial shock, teachers provided structured guidance to parents on a weekly basis, to help them encourage children to continue learning at home during this period.
3. Help provided to students/parents/staff and local community
The School contacted the Great Manchester Police Headquarter at the very early stage of the pandemic and obtained the latest information on how to deal with the hate crime. The information was shared with all parents/students/staff, and offered to provide support should any of our community members need it.
An online group for all staff was set up at the start of the first lockdown, in order to offer support to our staff effectively and provide help whenever it was needed.
We organised the distribution and donation of 2000 face masks to 10 local care homes at a time when they were not widely available.
4. Preparation to start online teaching
- It became clear during the first lockdown that we must move to online teaching throughout the pandemic. Preparations for this began in the summer of 2020. We assessed various online teaching platforms and compared them in terms of security, integrated functionality for both classes and homework assignments, and other criteria, and reached the conclusion that Google Suite for Education is the best online teaching platform. Although it was a major challenge to gain access to this platform as we are not a mainstream school, we made a great effort and finally got our school successfully registered with Google to use Google Suite for Education for our teaching.

华夏中文学校 2019 20 年度报告
2020 年 6 月
2019-20 年度总结
自 2020 年 1 月起，因为新冠疫情的爆发，学校的正常教学受到了严重影响，尤其是进入第一次封锁后，学校的几乎 所有工作都陷入停滞，很多计划中的工作(包括年度会员大会和校刊等)都不得不延后。
尽管情况十分困难，仍然有一部分工作在继续进行:
1. 与 Edexcel 考试相关的工作
当年的考生注册在第一次封锁前已经完成。
封锁期间，相关员工多次密切商讨如何根据考试局的最新政策及时跟进，计划本校的工作，并安排好与家长 的沟通。学校尽快恢复了考试班的教学，并按考试局的规定为去年必须参加考试的学生提供了评估成绩。
2. 非考试班的安排
学校关闭后，及时为家长们提供了大量关于在家学习的实用链接。； 老师每周布置阶段性作业和指导，以帮助鼓励学生在此特殊时期继续习中文。
3. 为学生/家长/员工/当地社区提供帮助
在疫情爆发的早期，学校就与大曼地区警察总部联系索取最新的如何应对仇恨犯罪的相关信息，及时分享给 了所有学生/家长/员工，并承诺会为任何有需要的人提供帮助。 封锁开始后即建立了员工网络群，以便及时为员工提供帮助。
在口罩供应比较紧张的早期阶段，我们为本地的 10 家养老院捐赠了 2000 个口罩。
4. 在线教学准备工作
疫情的发展让大家看到，学校必须在疫情期间转向网络教学。各项准备工作在 2020 年夏天开始进行：学校 评估了各种在线教学平台，并在安全性，功能性等方面进行了比较，得出的结论是 Google Suite for Education 是目前最好的在线教学平台。尽管由于我们的非主流学校身份而在申请使用该平台的过程中一直 要面对各种各样的困难，但经过不懈努力，我们终于成功地向 Google 注册了通常主流学校才能使用的这一 教学平台。

c) statement whether the policies adopted are in accordance with Charities SORP and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

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 financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES OF HUAXIA CHINESE SCHOOL.
I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the period ended 31 July 2020, which are set out on pages 5 to 9.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 or under Regulation IO (l)(a) to (c) of The Charities Accounts Regulations 2006 and that an independent examination is needed. The charity is required by company law to prepare accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Association of Financial Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act and section 44(I)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment Act 2005 (the 2005 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 and is in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts Regulations 2006. 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 account, 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.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section
-
44(l)(a) of the 2005 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006, section 44(l)(b) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations; and
Page 2
- which are consistent with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
