It is an unincorporated entity. The trustees who served during the year were: Mr R Craik Mrs R Craik Mrs K Alder (Resigned 1 June 2020) Mrs N Clarke (Resigned 19 September 2019) Mrs V Park-Pearson (Resigned 19 September 2019) Mr G Alder (Resigned 1 June 2020) V Dix (Appointed 17 September 2020) A Reeves (Appointed 17 September 2020) N Hobbs (Appointed 17 September 2020) C Foley (Appointed 17 September 2020) Mrs L Roberts Mr C Regent (Appointed 17 September 2020) Mrs V Banbury (Appointed 19 September 2019) Mrs L Newton The power to appoint new trustees lies with the trustees. The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. ## **Objectives and activities** The charity's objects are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups and by: - offering appropriate play facilities and training courses, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities in the activities of such groups, ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability - encouraging the study of needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs in the local areas - instigating and adhering to and furthering the aim of the pre-school learning alliance. There has been no change in these objectives and activities during the year. There are no plans to change the activities of the charity going forward. The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. ## **Achievements and performance** We have made great strides in re-organizing procedures which started in earlier years and are extremely proud that we have regained our Ofsted rating of ‘Good’, all those involved should be very proud of the commitment and hard work. The finances have been well monitored and used sparingly with the plan to improve certain areas of the setting next year. Staffing levels will have to be looked at as the number of children will fluctuate. - 1 - ## **CLANFIELD PRE-SCHOOL** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020** ## **Financial review** The trustees' consider that the charity's financial position at the end of the year is satisfactory. It is not the policy of the trustees to accumulate funds. The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity and this review encompassed the nature of the income and expenditure streams, the need to match variable income with commitments and the nature of the reserves. The trustees consider the current level of free reserves, which is represented by the balance of funds at the year end of £29,388 is sufficient to enable the charity to meet its charitable objectives. ## **On behalf of the board of trustees** Mr R Craik Dated: 28 October 2020 - 2 - ## **CLANFIELD PRE-SCHOOL** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CLANFIELD PRE-SCHOOL** I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020, which are set out on pages 4 to 5. ## **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 year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - (i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - (ii) 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 - (iii) 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. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - (i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - (ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act; - have not been met; or - (b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
