NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
1. General information
St Joseph’s Convent Preparatory School is a private limited company, limited by guarantee and registered and incorporated in the United Kingdom. Until August 2021 the principal activity of the company was education, the company is now in run off. The registered office of the company is 46 Old Road East, Gravesend, Kent, DA12 1NR which was also its principal place of business until August 2021.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
2.2 Going concern
On the 8th March 2021, the School announced that it was proposing to close at the end of the academic year, subject to staff consultation, due to a need for long term investment which had not been secured at the date of the announcement. The School and its staff continued to work hard for the pupils providing a full educational programme, but the decision was made to close the School on 31st August 2021. For this reason these financial statements are presented on a basis other than that of the going concern basis. This basis includes, where applicable, writing the company's assets down to net realisable value. Provisions have also been made in respect of contracts which have become onerous at the reporting date. A provision has been made for the future costs of terminating the business.
2.3 Turnover
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised:
Rendering of services
Turnover from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
-
the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;
-
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
-
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
-
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
2.4 Operating leases: the Company as lessee
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.5 Government grants
Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related expenditure.
2.6 Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
2.7 Debtors
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
2.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
2.9 Creditors
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.10 Financial instruments
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
2.11 Pensions
The School operated a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charged represents the amounts payable by the school to the fund in respect of the year.
3. Employees
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 1 (2021 - 38) .
