JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements 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 Charity's objectives include:
a) The advancement of further education and teacher training in particular but not exclusively for the benefit of young people of the orthodox Jewish faith.
b) The advancement of education and training for youth groups and/or individuals to relieve unemployment and with a particular view to promoting a career in teaching.
c) The relief of poverty by providing financial assistance and study grants to youth groups and/or individuals of the orthodox Jewish faith to relieve unemployment and with a particular view to promoting a career in teaching. d) The provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupation for young people who are in need of such provision because of their youth, age, infirmity, poverty or social and economic circumstances and with the object of improving their conditions of life.
Our Vision
Our vision is a world in which all people have access to quality education and equal opportunities.
Our Mission
To provide quality education and progression routes for young women for whom statutory services fall short, and who struggle to reach their potential due to extenuating factors, such as religion, poverty and/or ability.
Our Response
Jewish Training Academy for Girls (JTAG) Ltd is a leading further education establishment for young women from the Orthodox Jewish community. JTAG supports minoritised young women aged 16-19 years to access quality, mainstream education, improving their employment prospects and reducing historically high poverty and inequality.
Annually, we provide a variety of accredited and skills-based programmes with clear progression routes. This is supplemented by PSHE, cultural and community projects which provide growth and wellbeing opportunities.
Our Measures of Success
We implement robust MEL (Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning) processes to measure success and track each individual’s progress, as well as to quantify outputs and share learning.
We use ILPs (Individual Learning Plans) to track each learner’s progress. These are tracked on a steady basis and fully evaluated through termly learner progress reports.
Learners contribute to MEL via regular self-assessments and tutorials.
Outputs are measured through robust record keeping, including attendance registers, work and mark records and certification logs.
Quality is measured through comparing to DFE (Department for Education) benchmarks and regularly assessed via lesson observations, learning walks, and a comprehensive end-of-year SAR (School Accountability Report).
Grant making policy
Grants are made to charitable institutions, organisations and authorised individuals which accord with the objects of the charity and at the discretion of the trustees. During the year in review no grants were made.
Public benefit
The Trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
Achievements and performance
We are pleased to report on a successful year, which saw increased learner numbers, improved quality of education, and outstanding retainment, attainment and progression for learners.
New City College, of which JTAG is a leading partner, was inspected by Ofsted in November 2021 and rated Good in all areas. JTAG was showcased to inspectors as the leading Orthodox Jewish partner, receiving particular acclaim for:
-
Showcasing a clear strategy for why the provision exists and a positive curriculum intent.
-
Providing students with access to education and addressing Lower Achievers’ concerns around an appropriate programme of study to suit their needs.
-
In Jewish Studies lessons, the inspector saw examples of developing the resilience of the students within the context of the community. This was highlighted as particularly important given the impact on the pandemic on the community.
-
Students are learning about technology despite the community generally not having much access to the internet.
-
There were examples of personal development observed.
-
Students were clearly learning new things and demonstrated exceptional behaviour.
-
Teachers feel well supported by the college and had good access to college CPD.
-
Safeguarding is effective. Students feel safe, know where to go for help and checks are appropriate for guest speakers.
We supported 185 learners (2021: 179) across the year, as well as 36 alumnae, through a variety of accredited learning programmes, career guidance, and PSHE.
We continued to offer an advanced financial capability training from the LIBF at Levels 2 and 3. The course teaches skills in business finance, money management, debt awareness and making healthy financial decisions. In addition, many financial terms and concepts are explained. This was all the more practical and important given the looming cost-of-living crisis.
We delivered a variety of accredited IT programmes, at entry and advanced level, supporting digitally excluded young women to access core skills. These included ITQ Level 2 Certificate & Diploma and ITQ Level 3 Diploma, accredited by City & Guilds.
Once again, we delivered the Advanced Diploma in Accounting Level 3, preparing young women for employment in finance, administration and accounting fields. This was provided alongside a Diploma in Computerised Accounting for Business and/or as a stand-alone learning programme.
We also provided our popular Diploma for The Early Years Practitioner, a learning programme which is a popular choice amongst beneficiaries, providing employment opportunities in education, a massive sector within the community. This ran either as a standalone course, or in tandem with our in-depth teachers training programme, led by Mrs R Atkins QTS NPSLBA, delivered to the highest specification. The course covered general teachers training including topics like planning, delivering and assessing lessons. All points were covered over the course period and aimed to establish excellent teaching abilities, good employability skills as well as responsibility in the work place. There was a large portion of practical work, including teaching observations and placements throughout the year.

JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
This was also the first year we delivered an accredited Jewish Studies programme, certified through ATHE at a Level 3 Diploma. Meeting the program specifications and navigating the qualification was a challenge, yet with a 100% pass rate and excellent learning outcomes, it was well justified.
The number of young women attending without pass grades in core GCSE subjects is still high. We once again provided private tutoring for those that needed extra support in order to progress with further education. We supported them towards re-sitting core GCSEs and/or achieving City & Guilds Functional Skills in Mathematics and English at Levels 1 and 2.
The curriculum is designed to include content that has been identified as most useful and is taught in a logical progression, systematically and explicitly for all learners to acquire the intended knowledge, skills and behaviours. Learners are able to transfer skills by using knowledge from one subject to progress in another subject.
Teachers prepare students very effectively to cope with higher-level study or employment. As a result, students are resilient and focused on achieving their goals. Teachers and managers monitor the effectiveness and impact of teaching and learning strategies, as a result, students improve their holistic understanding of what they are learning. Teachers use assessment and progress reports to check learners understanding in order to plan further teaching.
Behaviour continues to be excellent and the environment in the classroom is conducive to learning. Learners seem satisfied and participate well. Attendance rate for the year was a solid 97% and learners use the “personal days” systems which is working really well in managing attendance and punctuality.
Teachers have high expectations and expect high standards from students as is evidenced by exam results. Staff know and care about learning. The tutorials show good communication aids, good progression, with support given when needed.
Learners demonstrate pride in their achievements and progress from Level 2 to Level 3. They show commitment to learning.
Overall, across our accredited learning programmes we have achieved a 99.3% pass rate in comparison to the National Average pass rate of 89.9%. We had an outstanding 100% retention rate in comparison to the 91.7% National Average.
Our learners are methodically acclimated to the workplace through employer involvement and work experience built into all our learning programmes. We supported learners with opportunities to gain skills and advice, and progress towards employment and/or further learning, delivering career guidance workshops, work placements, and mentoring.
Employment & progression routes continue to be excellent with 100% of our learners having secured employment and/or continued education.
Safeguarding continues to be a priority, and was further developed during the year with professional support from The Interlink Foundation’s Policy team. Our DSO and Deputy DSO also attended regular Safeguarding Supervision Groups to keep abreast of new developments, to receive support in their roles, and to share best practice. Learners report that they feel safe and protected and know where to go if they need advice or help. There were no serious safeguarding incidents during the year in review.
We continued to develop the skills, confidence and values of our learners and alumnae through our enrichment programmes and through regular opportunities for youth leadership. Learners developed into responsible and respectful citizens who play their part in society, community and public life.
Learners were given the opportunity to organise our annual heritage retreat and intergenerational holocaust remembrance program, where they used leadership and organizational skills to pull everything together.
We provided regular workshops in mental health, and learners were given opportunities for peer mentoring and volunteering within, and across, the community. Learners led on events such as our graduation ceremony, field trips and sports opportunities. Modern Britain values were covered, incorporated into lessons and taught at length in tutorial time.

JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
At the heart of our cultural awareness was our Jewish Studies Programme, which was supplemented by regular celebration of cultural/religious holidays and included a lot of enrichment opportunities; developing confidence, skills, values and identity.
Our alumnae are continuously engaged and supported through regular conventions.
Our staff and volunteers were supported with opportunities for training, progression, and continued professional development. We continue to prioritise a safe, supportive and welcoming environment for our staff with employee satisfaction at an all-time high, evidenced through staff reviews and feedback.
Over the past decade, we’ve been operating from a 3-story building, located on Lordship Road, N16.
With the lease come to an end, trustees made the decision to purchase premises, making the charity more sustainable and lowering risks significantly.
In August 2022, we closed on a well-priced, 5-story property, used as a Montessori nursery to date, at 27 Stamford Hill, N16 5TU. The space provides ample room for our college facilities and has opportunities for further development to allow for growth and expansion.
We’ve liaised with contractors, an interior designer, engineers and a Health & Safety consultant to put together a renovation plan to transform the dated space into a fit-for purpose, safe and functional adult learning facility; with construction completed by March 2023.
The project is being overseen by our Building Committee, led by Mr Aron Grossman. Thereafter, the premises will be maintained in good order as part of the roles and responsibilities of our Premises Manager.
Key outcomes for the year:
-
Increased learner count, up 4% since last year.
-
99.3% pass rate across all accredited learning programmes.
-
100% learner retention rate.
-
97% attendance rate, up 3% since last year.
-
We had a retention rate of 100% and a pass rate of 96.8% across all our accredited learning programmes.
-
Excellent progression – 100% of completers either secured employment or continuing education on a higher-level course.
-
Maintained high levels of outstanding behaviour.
-
Maintained high levels of learner and staff satisfaction.
-
Improved Safeguarding policies and procedures.
-
Rated Good in all areas by Ofsted.

Secured premises to house our operations for the future.
Trustees are pleased with the general performance this year, from a delivery and organisation development/ sustainability focus.
Fundraising
JTAG raises funds through our partnerships, annual fundraising reception, as well as through applications to Trusts, Foundations and Corporates. During the year the charity spent £56,444 (2021: £7,515) on fundraising. Increased fundraising expenses were incurred at the year end, as we prepared to launch a major appeal for the development of our new premises, with income secured in the following year.

JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
Financial review
During the period, the charity's expenditure exceeded the income. The trustees are satisfied with the results for the period. The charity's direct charitable expenditure for the year totalled £605,272 (2021: £567,835). Support costs and Governance for the year totalled £72,776 (2021: £30,545), a significant increase over the previous year, to account for legal and professional fees associated with the premises purchase.
Towards the year end, JTAG Ltd closed on a 5-story premises in the heart of our community at a cost of £3,122,028. This is important for the charity’s sustainability, our leaners’ experience, and will aid growth too. Trustees have prepared for the increased costs associated with this, through drawing down from designated funds and free reserves, securing short-term loans totalling £2,355,000 (repayable once the mortgage is approved) and launching a large-scale fundraising campaign to raise funds for capital works.
The trustees are confident that the charity will have sufficient funds to allow it to continue its activities for the foreseeable future.
Reserves
policy
The Trustees aim to hold reserves of at least three months’ activity running costs to safeguard the continued delivery of services. At the year end, the charity did not hold free reserves. The significant decline in free reserves is temporary. The trustees justified that in this particular instance, drawing down from free reserves for the premises purchase was warranted in order to ensure long-term sustainability. We’ve developed a robust financial strategy for loan repayment and to bring reserves back to required levels by January 2026.
Small Company Provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.
Plans for future periods
We are committed to continuous improvement and development of our support to learners and the community. As such, trustees have set some key goals as follows:
-
Outfit premises to a high standard, creating a safe and modern learning facility which will aid education and improve user experience.
-
Increase learner numbers, supporting more young women who do not have access to mainstream education.
-
continue delivering education, employment and PHSE support to minoritized young women, whilst being mindful of the current environment, including decline in mental health, increased cost of living, and higher than average youth unemployment.
-
Continuously improve teaching standards, providing more training and support for staff.
-
Diversify our learning programmes, to include more digital, design, and health care trades, to increase employment options and avenues, in line with national and global trends.
-
Increase the support available to young women with regards to their personal, social and emotional development.
-
Build upon, and expand our existing SEN offer.
-
Improve staff and student record keeping through investing in appropriate systems and staff management capacity.

The trustees are satisfied that the long-term benefits far outweigh the risks and are committed to managing assets and cash flow responsibly.
Trustees are also aware of the increased risk to our environment brought on by large-scale construction. They are committed to the use of energy-efficient equipment and environmentally friendly materials in our new premises, to offset the cost to our environment.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold land and buildings no depreciation Leasehold improvements over term of the lease Fixtures and fittings 33% reducing balance Computers 33% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 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.
1.8 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.
