THE ELIZABETH COLLEGE UK FOUNDATION TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR FROM 01 SEPTEMBER 2021 TO 31 AUGUST 2022
The Trustees present their report for the year ended 31 August 2021. The Elizabeth College Foundation (the "Trust") was created by a Declaration of Trust on 4 May 2007 with initial settled funds of £100.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Trustees have the power to appoint new or additional Trustees of the Trust. No Trustee shall be entitled to receive remuneration in respect of his or her activities as a Trustee of the Trust.
The Trustees have appointed a Foundation Director to manage the day to day administration of the Trust. The Foundation Director is also a Trustee of the Elizabeth College UK Foundation.
The Trust is associated with The Elizabeth College Foundation which operates in Guernsey.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing accounts in accordance with the Trust Deed and the obligations of the Charities Act 2022. They have opted to prepare a receipts and payments account under the provisions of section 133 of the Charities Act 2022.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper books and records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Trust. The Trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Independent Examination
The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2022 (the Charities Act)) but have appointed an Honorary Examiner, Jeff Wilkes Green, to undertake an independent examination of these accounts on their behalf under Section 145 of the Charities Act.
Objects and Aims of the Trust
The Trust was reated to hold capital and income upon trust and distribute it for the objects of the Trust, namely:
the advancement of the education of the pupils of the educational establishment known as Elizabeth College, Guernsey, Elizabeth College Junior School, and Elizabeth College Pre-School, ('the Schools') by providing or assisting in the provision, maintenance and improvement of buildings, resources, equipment and facilities for the benefit of pupils of the schools, including sporting and recreational facilities: and
the provision of grants, bursaries and scholarships to present and former pupils of the Schools to assist in the advancement of their education.
Grant Making Policy
The Trustees work closely with the Trustees of the Elizabeth College Foundation in Guernsey and work in support of that body.
Policy on Reserves
The Trustees treat any donations or bequests with special conditions in accordance with the terms of the donor. To date there have been no donations or grants with any such special conditions.
Achievements and Performance
The Trust was launched in May 2007 and, in conjunction with the Guernsey based Elizabeth College Foundation, has run three fundraising appeals: in 2007, 2012 {450th Anniversary Appeal) and the Chance of a Lifetime Appeal launched in 2019. The Appeals have raised funds through direct fund raising for a programme of developments which have been recommended by the Board of Directors of the Schools.
The 2007 Appeal raised sufficient funds from donations received to complete all of the planned development projects, including the refurbishment of the Sixth Form Centre (2007), a new all-weather play area at Beechwood (2007), a library/music room at Acorn House (2008) and the Robin Roussel Pavilion at the Memorial Field (2009).
Funds generated by donations to the 450th Anniversary Appeal, plus residuary funds from the 2007 Appeal, have paid for: the FG Manchester Refectory (2013), the Performing Arts Studio (2013), a new Reception classroom at Acorn House (2013), an extension to and full reconfiguration of the Mathematics block (2014), redevelopment of the Hard Court Recreational Area (2015). internal refurbishment of the historic College Field Pavilion (2015), the provision of new Fencing scoring equipment in the Sports Hall (2015) and the digitisation of the College's archives thanks to a legacy from OE Roy Honey (2017).
The Elizabeth College Foundation and conjunction with the Elizabeth College UK Foundation also funded a 4 year project (2016-2019) to refurbish the College science laboratories.
The Chance of a Lifetime Appeal was initiated in 2018 and formally launched in early 2019 with the twin objectives of:
the purchase and initial conversion of the building adjacent to the College formerly occupied by the Royal Bank of Canada and now renamed Perrot Court.
the establishment of an investment fund to support the Foundation Bursary Scheme, to maintain the College's diversity of intake following the demise of the Special Place Holder scheme which was ended by the States of Guernsey in 2018.
The Elizabeth College Foundation is the residuary beneficiary of a very substantial Legacy left by the Late Roger Perrot who died 3 March 2019.
The success of the Chance of a Lifetime Appeal combined with the Perrot legacy has meant that the Foundation was able to grant the funds to enable the College to purchase of the former RBC building which was renamed Perrot Court on 8 October 2020. Work commenced converting the building to educational use in summer 2021. The UK Foundation made a grant of £69,202 in respect of initial refurbishment works at Perrot Court. This was supplemented by a grant from the Elizabeth College Foundation of £655,798 giving a total grant of £725,000.
In addition funds raised have enabled the Foundation to establish the Foundation Bursary Scheme. This offers up to 5 x 100% means tested bursaries a year at entry into Year 7, plus an additional up to 3 x 100% bursaries for Sixth Form students. The first 8 Foundation Bursary students started at Elizabeth College in September 2021 and the scheme currently supports 16 students.
