BEIT SHVIDLER PRIMARY SCHOOL CHARITABLE TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of Beit Shvidler Primary School Charitable Trust for the year ended 31 August 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The objects of Beit Shvidler Primary School Charitable Trust (the ‘Trust’) are the advancement of education by the conduct of a school or schools and by ancillary educational activities for the benefit of the Orthodox Jewish community. The Trustees have considered the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and have satisfied themselves that they have complied with their duty to have regard to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

The Trust advances its objects through its financial support for Orthodox Jewish schools. The Trust continues to support Beit Shvidler Primary School (BSPS, 'the School'), a co-educational Orthodox Jewish primary school for children aged three to eleven, whose families are committed to Shabbos, Kashrus, community involvement, ongoing learning and religious growth. The School is one of a network under the Jewish Secondary Schools Movement (JSSM) umbrella, and is associated with the Edgware Adath Yisroel Congregation (EAYC). The Trustees all give of their time and experience voluntarily.

Achievements and performance

The Trust continues to perform in line with trustees’ expectations. In February 2021 the Trust ran a successful fundraising event which raised around £300,000. These funds were used to start replenishing the reserves of the Trust, and to support the School in a number of strategic capital projects. Despite the continued economic challenges brought about by the cost of living crisis, the Trust has continued to see strong support from the School’s parent body and wider community to support ongoing fundraising activity.

The primary recipient of the Trust's grants, Beit Shvidler Primary School, continues to display strong progress under the able leadership of its head teacher and the senior leadership team. The Trustees continue to see the positive findings from the March 2019 ‘Good’ Ofsted being reflected in the performance of the school:

BEIT SHVIDLER PRIMARY SCHOOL CHARITABLE TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Financial review

The details of the Trust's financial activities are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, and associated notes starting on page 5 of these accounts. The Trust's total funds at the year end were considered acceptable by the Trust. At the year end the charity had a surplus on its free reserves totalling £186,736 (2021: deficit £23,141).

The principal risk and uncertainty for the Trust relates to the level of donation and grant income it will benefit from in future periods. This is partly driven by the broader economic environment and partly by donors' balance of priorities between this and other recipients of their donations and grants. These are the key factors that are likely to affect future financial performance of the Trust. To monitor and manage these risks, the Trustees review the Trust's financial performance and grant pipeline on a regular basis, and if necessary, adapt its grant-making activity accordingly.

Plans for future periods

The Trust intends to continue advancing its objects in future periods. The trustees continue to focus on fundraising to support these objects. Trustees are also focused on sustaining and strengthening the Trust's free reserves through a combination of fundraising and careful management of reserves and grant-making activity.

Structure, governance and management

The Trust is a company limited by guarantee, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 29 September 2006. It is a registered charity, number 1118619.

Trustees are appointed by the JSSM trustees. Trustees are appointed for an initial term of four years and may be re-appointed for a second term and, exceptionally, a third term.

The trustees during the year were: Mr P Baker (Resigned 31 October 2022) Mrs B Gabriel Mr D Wynne Mr A Steinberg Mrs D Grossman Mr A Milstein (Appointed 1 November 2022)

New trustees are introduced to the objects of the charity by the Chair and Treasurer, and to their responsibilities as a trustee. Trustees at all times act in the best interests of the charity. Trustees are required to recognise and deal appropriately with conflicts of interest, recognising that even the perception of a conflict of interest could damage the Trust’s reputation. It is the policy of the Trust that no trustees receive any remuneration from the Trust.

Trustees are responsible for acting collectively to ensure the proper administration of the charity, safeguarding its assets, and ensuring these are only used to further the Trust's objects. Decisions are made by consensus of the Trustees. In relation to financial decisions, trustees receive briefing on the financial assets of the Trust on a regular basis – at least three times each year.

Risk Management

The trustees focus primarily on financial and reputational risks to the Trust. In relation to financial risks, the Trust aims to maintain at minimum total funds of £40,000. In relation to reputational risks, trustees consider the arrangements for safeguarding and pupil welfare at a school applying for a grant – amongst other factors – before concluding on whether to make a grant. The trustees are also mindful of conflicts of interests as noted above.

BEIT SHVIDLER PRIMARY SCHOOL CHARITABLE TRUST (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Beit Shvidler Primary School Charitable Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 325-327 Oldfield Lane North, Greenford, Middx, UB6 OFX.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

These financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future due to a successful post-year end fundraising campaign. Nevertheless, the trustees have made aware the principal organisation to which it makes donations that the charity's ability to financially support that organisation are dependent on the charity's own ability to continue as a going concern.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

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.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Grants are included in the statement of financial activities on receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of meeting any performance-related conditions there is not unconditional entitlement to the income and its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income until the performance-related conditions are met. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

1.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.7 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
