JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025.
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 and are in line with our updated Skills Builder Framework.

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. Through our Learning Walks and Lesson Observations, we have created a culture of experimentation and learning which continuously improves outcomes for students.
Outputs are measured through robust record keeping, including attendance registers, work and mark records and certification logs.
Quality is measured through comparing to D F E (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 under 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 2025
Achievements and performance
We are proud to have completed another year where we have achieved excellent progress and results.
A major achievement is our ‘OUTSTANDING’ rating from OFSTED, who particularly noted that our students develop a strong understanding of their subjects and related industries, and partake in meaningful work experience. They also noted our exceptionally high achievement rates.
We offered educational opportunities to over 170 learners, including 34 students who have continued on from last academic year. We engaged 32 alumnae and 89 young women in the community through a variety of community events and pastoral support.
Learning and Skills Development
We offered an extensive range of accredited and vocational training programmes, based on learner interest, local employment opportunities and available resources. Our learning framework covered a variety of fields including IT, Business, Bookkeeping and Accounting, Childcare, Education, Food & Nutrition, Literacy & Numeracy, and Cultural Studies. We also continue to offer Functional Skills and GCSE resits for learners who do not yet hold foundational qualifications in English and Mathematics.
Accredited programmes were delivered at Levels 2 and 3, with clear progression routes. Applicants were supported to achieve the minimum entry requirements where needed. We also delivered a range of regulated vocational programmes with flexible entry requirements, ensuring accessibility for all learners.
The curriculum is designed to include content that has been identified as most useful and relevant to learners' future progression. Teaching is delivered in a logical sequence, enabling learners to systematically acquire the knowledge, skills and behaviours required for further study, employment and personal development. Learners are encouraged to transfer and apply knowledge across subjects, strengthening both their understanding and confidence.
Teachers continue to prepare learners very effectively for higher-level study and employment. Learners demonstrated resilience, commitment and ambition in achieving their goals. Teachers and managers closely monitored the effectiveness of teaching and learning strategies through assessment, progress reviews and learner feedback, ensuring that provision remains responsive and impactful.
Behaviour remained excellent and the learning environment is highly conducive to success. Attendance during the year remained exceptionally strong at 97%, supported by the continued success of our personal days reward system, which helped learners manage attendance and punctuality effectively.
Teachers maintain high expectations and learners consistently rise to these expectations, as reflected in excellent examination outcomes and progression rates. Learners take pride in their achievements and demonstrate strong commitment as they progress through different levels of study. Achievement was rated at 98%, with almost all students passing their exams successfully.
During the year under review, we delivered a variety of accredited and regulated IT programmes at both entry and advanced levels, supporting digitally excluded young women to develop essential digital skills and improve employability. This included the ITQ Level 2 Certificate and Diploma and the ITQ Level 3 Diploma, accredited by City & Guilds. In preparation for future developments within the sector, we have begun working towards the implementation of a revised IT curriculum that incorporates a greater emphasis on business-related skills and applications. This enhanced approach will better reflect modern workplace requirements and provide learners with a broader range of transferable skills, combining digital competence with practical business knowledge.
We continued to offer advanced financial literacy training through LIBF at Levels 2 and 3. These programmes equip learners with valuable knowledge in business finance, budgeting, debt awareness, financial planning and responsible money management, enabling them to make informed financial decisions both personally and professionally.

JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Once again, we delivered the Advanced Diploma in Accounting (AAT Level 3), preparing young women for employment within finance, administration and accounting sectors. Demand for this programme increased significantly this year, with a larger-than-usual cohort of 20 learners successfully participating in the programme.
Alongside the AAT qualification, we continued to offer the Level 3 Diploma in Computerised Accounting for Business. Students who have taken this course have done so either as a separate course or have progressed from the AAT Level 3 Accounting course.
In response to learner feedback and varying levels of confidence, we offered a new course of AAT Level 3 Certificate in Bookkeeping Diploma. The dedicated Bookkeeping group attracted 14 learners and has proved to be an excellent alternative pathway for those who may find the full AAT qualification too challenging, whilst still enabling them to develop highly employable accounting and financial administration skills.
We also successfully delivered another cohort of the NCFE Level 3 Certificate in Business Start-up. This programme continues to support aspiring entrepreneurs by developing practical business planning, marketing and enterprise skills, helping learners explore self-employment and business ownership opportunities.
We continued to deliver the Level 2 Diploma for the Early Years Practitioner, a popular programme that prepares learners for employment in the childcare and early years sector, a significant area of employment within the community. The qualification was offered either as a course on its own or alongside our comprehensive teacher training programme, led by Mrs R Atkins QTS NPSLBA.
The teacher training programme covered key areas including lesson planning, delivery and assessment, helping learners develop effective teaching skills, professional confidence and workplace responsibility. A strong practical element, including teaching observations and placements, enabled learners to apply their knowledge in real-world settings.
Our ATHE-accredited Level 3 Jewish Studies programme continued to provide learners with a comprehensive understanding of Jewish history, culture, literature and practice. Following an inspection by the awarding body, we were recommended as a High-Performance Centre. The programme remains a popular and valued part of our curriculum. We also progressed to the ATHE Level 3 Extended Diploma, where students can use their portfolio to achieve the next level.
The number of young women entering our programmes without pass grades in core GCSE subjects remains significant, with 30 learners requiring additional support during the year. We continued to provide targeted tuition to help learners achieve the qualifications needed for further study and progression. Learners achieved excellent outcomes in GCSE and Functional Skills English and Mathematics, with results significantly exceeding national averages.
Across all accredited learning programmes, we achieved a 98% pass rate and an outstanding 100% retention rate, both substantially above national benchmarks.
We also offered a range of short, non-accredited courses, which give students skills and experience in other areas. Learners participated in short courses including Home Organising, Album Design, Marketing, Copywriting and Party Planning. Learners were able to apply these skills through college projects and events, supporting activities such as marketing campaigns, video production and event planning.
To further strengthen employability and community leadership skills, we introduced a new Fundraising course during the year. The programme was well received and successfully equipped learners with the knowledge and practical techniques required to plan, organise and deliver effective fundraising activities. Learners gained valuable skills in communication, project management, donor engagement and event planning, which are transferable across a wide range of employment and voluntary sector roles.
We are committed to creating an inclusive learning environment where all learners are valued and respected, regardless of their background, culture, family circumstances or ability. Diversity is embedded throughout the curriculum through the use of varied learning resources, inclusive teaching practices and differentiated support to meet individual learning needs.
We have continued to strengthen our Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision to ensure learners with additional needs receive appropriate support and opportunities to succeed. During the year, we supported five learners with identified SEN, all of whom achieved positive outcomes and made good progress towards their individual goals. In particular, we supported one SEN student with part-time employment. We offered her opportunities for employment - 4 - and mentored her throughout.
JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Employment support & progression
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 work placements, shadowing opportunities and mentoring with our partner employers and community organisations. Our November 2025 Ofsted inspection noted that ‘learners complete meaningful work experience in sectors that align with their career goals. Learners on bookkeeping courses at JTAG gain hands-on experience managing and recording financial transactions at local accountancy firms.’
During the year, we revamped our stakeholder engagement, partnering with more local businesses to offer diverse work placements, co-designing learning programmes with local industry experts, and engaging with past alumnae active in the workforce to hear targeted feedback. We also offered a new Work Ethics programme designed to support learners to understand employee conduct and ethics.
Employment & progression routes continue to be excellent, with 99% of our learners having secured employment and/or continued education.
There are some concerns that there is limited education progression beyond Level 3, due to the lack of culturally appropriate adult education facilities and the limited diversity of courses currently accessible within the community for both adult learners and Charedi young women aged 16–19. In particular, there are gaps in pathways linked to London priority sectors such as Health & Social Care, advanced Digital Skills and emerging technology-focused industries. Trustees have worked closely with Teen Action, sharing information, spaces and co-designing initiatives which support both the expansion of adult learning opportunities and the diversification of post-16 education pathways for young women within the community. This includes exploring opportunities that will equip learners with future-focused skills and qualifications relevant to a rapidly changing employment landscape, whilst remaining accessible within a culturally appropriate environment. This is ongoing work, led by Teen Action in collaboration with the Greater London Authority, the London Borough of Hackney, the City Bridge Foundation and other partners. We will keep abreast of developments and collaborate where needed to ensure progression opportunities for our learners and a well-linked learning offer for the wider community.
Safeguarding
Safeguarding continues to be a priority. We keep abreast of Safeguarding legislation and best practice, and are subscribed to City & Hackney Safeguarding Children Partnership and the NSPCC for regular safeguarding updates. Our DSO and Deputy DSO attend regular Safeguarding Supervision Groups at The Interlink Foundation to keep abreast of new developments, to receive support in their roles, and to share best practice. Staff are supported to identify and report any safeguarding concerns through regular accredited safeguarding training and in-house guidance. Learners report that they feel safe and protected and know where to go if they need advice or help. We operate with robust Safer Recruitment policies which ensure all staff are fully vetted prior to employment, as well as on a continuous basis. Appropriate checks are undertaken, references are obtained and there is ongoing review of employee conduct.
There were no serious safeguarding incidents during the year under review.
Enrichment opportunities
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 develop into responsible and respectful citizens who play their part in society, community and public life.
We also employed additional staff to develop our co-curricular offer to include more cultural and community events and programmes to complement our training, learning and skills development offer.
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 tripsand co-curricular programmes. Modern Britain values and Prevent were covered, incorporated into lessons and taught at length during tutorial time.
Employee support and satisfaction
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 - 5 - satisfaction at an all-time high, evidenced through staff appraisals and retention rates.
JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Community engagement and enrichment support
Community engagement remains a key part of our wider educational offer. Through a range of co-curricular activities, community events and cultural programmes, we bring together young women from across the community and encourage active participation in community life.
Learners celebrated community holidays and religious festivals and took part in initiatives supporting elderly and vulnerable members of the community through visits and collaborative projects, delivered in partnership with JTAG.
Volunteering continues to play an important role in learner development. Learners are encouraged to apply their skills in real-world settings while gaining valuable work experience and contributing to the community. Through our extensive network of local organisations, more than 60% of learners participated in regular voluntary work during the year. Students arranged a performance with a local primary school, where they led the singing, dancing and acting groups. They also run regular social groups with young children, to encourage and promote friendship and social skills.
We worked closely with local schools, colleges and community organisations to address issues affecting young women, including online safety and wellbeing. This included joint workshops, support programmes and collaboration with organisations such as the Technology Awareness Group.
Learners also benefited from a programme of monthly workshops and guest lectures delivered by community leaders and professionals, supporting personal development, career awareness and civic engagement.
During the year, we hosted our annual Open Day, providing an opportunity for prospective learners, families and community members to learn about our programmes and meet staff, current learners and alumnae.
Parental engagement remains strong. Parents are invited to key events including Parents’ Evening, Graduation, Open Day and Holocaust Memorial Day. Many also volunteer their time to support educational visits and events. Regular communication ensures that parents remain informed and actively involved in their children's education.
We continue to maintain strong relationships with our alumnae through regular networking and engagement events, providing ongoing support and opportunities for professional and personal development.
As part of our commitment to supporting the wider community, we regularly make facilities available to local charities and community organisations, either through subsidised hire or in-kind use of our premises, helping to facilitate a range of valuable local initiatives.
Key outcomes for the year:
-
Outstanding OFSTED rating
-
98% pass rate across all accredited learning programmes.
-
100% learner retention rate.
-
97% attendance rate.
-
Exceptional progression – 99% of completers either secured employment or continued education on a higher-level course.

-
A positive and supportive learning environment, reflected in excellent behaviour, attitudes, and high levels of learner and staff satisfaction.
Trustees are pleased with the general performance this year from a delivery and organisation development/ sustainability focus.

Financial review
Fundraising
JTAG raises funds through our partnerships, annual fundraising receptions, as well as through applications to Trusts, Foundations and Corporates. During the year the charity spent £9,928 (2024: £5,060) on fundraising. The trustees are responsible for overseeing all fundraising activities and ensuring that they are carried out in an ethical and transparent manner.
The charity does not engage in aggressive or intrusive fundraising practices and takes reasonable steps to ensure that all supporters and potential donors are treated with respect. The charity does not currently use professional fundraisers or commercial participators to carry out fundraising activities on its behalf.
The charity seeks to comply with recognised standards of good practice in fundraising and is committed to ensuring that fundraising is conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
The charity has procedures in place to receive and respond to any complaints relating to fundraising activities. During the year, the charity did not receive any complaints in relation to its fundraising activities.
The trustees are mindful of the need to protect vulnerable individuals and ensure that no undue pressure is applied when fundraising.
Financial Summary
During the period, the charity's general fund income exceeded expenditure. The trustees are satisfied with the results for the period. Expenditure on charitable activities totalled £867,567 (2024: £987,407) of which £246,096 (2024: £256,301) was for Support costs & Governance.
A robust fundraising strategy, business plan and detailed budgets has allowed Trustees to maintain a good balance of finances, with confidence that the charity will have sufficient funds to allow it to continue its activities for the foreseeable future.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees aim to maintain free reserves at a level which ensures that the charity can continue to deliver its core objectives and charitable activities in the event of unforeseen reductions in income or unexpected increases in expenditure. The Trustees have set a target to hold free reserves equivalent to a minimum of three months' operational running costs.
At 31 August 2025, the company did not hold any free reserves. This is below the target level set out in the reserves policy. The deficit reflects ongoing loan repayments in connection with its premises.
The Trustees are actively managing this position and, as outlined in the 'Plans for Future Periods', have committed to restoring reserves to the required minimum level by 2026 through continued fundraising and financial control.
The Trustees review the reserves policy and reserve levels annually as part of the financial planning process to ensure it remains appropriate to the charity’s needs and risk profile.
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 services to learners and the community. As such, the trustees have set some key goals as follows:
-
Increase learner numbers, supporting more young women who do not have access to mainstream education.
-
Continue delivering education, employment and PHSE support to minoritised young women, whilst being mindful of the current environment, including the decline in mental health, increased cost of living, and higher than average youth unemployment.
-
Maintain high levels of stakeholder engagement.
-
Continuously improve teaching standards, providing more training and support for staff.
-
Collaborate with other higher education establishments and voluntary services with a similar ethos to develop a more comprehensive offer for our learners and the community.
-
Bring reserves back to the required minimum by 2026.
We look forward to sustaining, improving, and growing our delivery, exploring progression opportunities, addressing inequality for learners from ethnic minority and global majority communities, and supporting young women into employment.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and as such, its governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 8 June 2006 as amended on 9 November 2007.
The trustees meet regularly to administer the day-to-day affairs of the charity. None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the charity.
Mr. A Grossman Mr J Damen Miss F Lias
Recruitment, Induction and Training
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
It is not the intention of the trustees of the charity to appoint any new trustees for the foreseeable future. Should the situation change in the future, the trustees will apply suitable recruitment, induction and training procedures.
Risk management
The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Both manual and automated checks are regularly invoked, particularly those relating to the operations and finance of the charity. The trustees acknowledge that the purchase of premises, along with significant capital works that will be needed, do present a significant operational and financial risk, which has been mitigated through development of a clear fundraising plan and professional support with loan management, interior design, Health & Safety and engineering. The trustees are satisfied that the long-term benefits far outweigh the risks and are committed to managing assets and cash flow responsibly.
The 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.
The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures mitigate any perceived risks.

JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees, who are also the directors of Jewish Training Academy for Girls (JTAG) Limited for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Auditor
In accordance with the company's articles, a resolution proposing that Landau Morley LLP be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put at a General Meeting.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Jewish Training Academy for Girls (JTAG) Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 August 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations - this responsibility lies with management with the oversight of the directors.
The extent to which our procedures can detect irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
-
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience through discussion with management (as required by auditing standards).
-
We had regard to laws and regulations in areas that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting and taxation legislation. We considered that extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
-
11 -
JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED
-
Except for any known or possible non-compliance, and as required by auditing standards, our work in respect of these included enquiry of management about the company's policies, procedures, and related controls regarding compliance with laws and regulations and if there are any known instances of noncompliance.
-
We tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
-
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.
-
We examined supporting documents for all material balances, transactions and disclosures.
-
We evaluated the selection and application of accounting policies related to subjective measurements and complex transactions.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements of the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK).
The potential effects of inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud because fraud may involve sophisticated and carefully organized schemes designed to conceal it, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or intentional misrepresentations being made to us.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Other matters
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with "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)" (as amended) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with current Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

JEWISH TRAINING ACADEMY FOR GIRLS (JTAG) LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Jewish Training Academy for Girls (JTAG) Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 27 Stamford Hill, London, N16 5TU.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance 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)". 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
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors 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.
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.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

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 Fixtures and fittings 33% reducing balance Computers 33% reducing balance
Freehold land and assets in the course of construction are not depreciated.
No depreciation has been provided on freehold land and buildings as the assets are kept in good repair and their useful lives and estimated residual values are such that depreciation is not material. Assets are reviewed annually for any impairment. The trustees are of the opinion that the recoverable amount is in excess of the carrying amount and feel that no provision for impairment is required.
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.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.9 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.10 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
