Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2025

Objects and activities of the charity

The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document.

Established in 2007, Knightsbridge School Education Foundation (KSEF) is a registered charity which works closely with but entirely independent of Knightsbridge School (KS).

The Foundation’s objectives are the furtherance of education through KS and to promote such other activities connected to the advancement of education which are charitable.

The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year.

Developing and supporting the use of the resources and facilities of Knightsbridge School for the benefit of the community. Working in cooperation with local state primary schools on joint projects.

Fund raising for the purpose of providing scholarships and bursaries to talented pupils whose family financial circumstances would not otherwise enable them to attend fee-paying private schools.

Assist in the building and development of further facilities at the School’s site and to assist with the procurement, development and use of ancillary facilities for sporting, artistic and other creative events for the benefit of the community generally.

The main activities undertaken during the year to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit.

The Foundation will focus on promoting the personal development and education of people in the wider community. We will periodically review our activities to ensure we respond to the evolving nature of current needs.

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity.

Company Registration Number - 06269081

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2025

The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.

Since its inception, the total number of children who have received support from the Knightsbridge School Education Foundation (KSEF) has risen to 30. Currently, 12 students are benefiting from the KSEF bursary programme at Knightsbridge School, spanning Years 8 to 11 in this academic year.

Demand for our Bursary Programme has remained stable compared to previous years. Children are selected based on academic ability and undergo a means-testing process conducted by an independent organisation to ensure transparency and fairness.

During the year, four bursary pupils progressed from Knightsbridge School to secondary schools, including Charterhouse, Latymer, Uppingham and Wymondham College. These outcomes demonstrate the strong academic and pastoral foundations provided through the bursary programme.

Since its establishment, the Foundation has supported 30 students through the bursary programme. The impact of this support continues beyond KS, with former bursary pupils progressing to leading schools, higher education and professional careers. The Foundation continues to maintain relationships with former bursary students and encourages mentoring, career advice and internship opportunities through the KS parent and alumni community.

The difference the charity's performance during the year has made to the beneficiaries of the charity.

Knightsbridge School offers a unique educational experience to its students while being an integral part of a broader community. We believe that education is a powerful tool for changing the world, and we strive to extend our impact beyond the Blue Door, transforming lives one child at a time.

Since its inception, KSEF has raised nearly £2.3 million in support of its charitable activities. Donations remain essential to sustaining the Foundation’s bursary commitments and community programmes. Broadening educational experiences for children in the local community remains a central focus of the Foundation’s work. The Foundation continues to strengthen its partnerships with two local maintained primary schools—Ashburnham Primary School and Marlborough Primary School—both located within close proximity to Knightsbridge School.

Since 2019, the Foundation has supported Ashburnham Primary School by funding mental-health provision delivered in partnership with AllChild, a specialist children’s mental-health charity. A dedicated AllChild link teacher works with the school, providing therapeutic and emotional support to 40 children and contributing to improved wellbeing, behaviour and engagement in learning. The Foundation has also continued its support of Marlborough Primary School, funding art provision and creative learning programmes that enhance pupils’ access to artistic education and enrichment activities. These programmes help strengthen creative confidence, broaden curriculum engagement and support self-expression across year groups.

Despite their proximity to Knightsbridge School, both primary schools face significant social challenges. Ashburnham Community School, for example, has levels of disadvantage significantly above the national average, making this support particularly valuable.

The schools are immensely grateful for the Foundation’s continued support, which is making a meaningful difference to their students’ learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging within their school communities.

Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2025

The degree to which the achievements and performance during the year have benefited wider society.

Broadening educational experiences for children in the local community remains a central focus of the Foundation’s work. We continued to strengthen our partnerships with two local maintained primary schools—Ashburnham Community School and Marlborough Primary School—both located within a short walk of KS.

This year, we once again funded art therapy for 15 children aged 4 to 11 at Marlborough Primary School, in partnership with London Creative Arts Therapy (https://www.lcat.org.uk/).

We also continued to support Ashburnham Community School with a grant to fund AllChild (formerly West London Zone), a charity that provides specialist support to 40 children through a dedicated link worker for the full academic year as part of a two-year programme (https://www.allchild.org/). AllChild helps children and young people build the relationships and skills needed to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.

These projects have promoted good mental health and well-being, improved fitness, developed resilience, and strengthened the children’s sense of belonging to their school community.

Despite their proximity to Knightsbridge School, both primary schools face significant social challenges. Ashburnham Community School, for example, has 72% of its children qualifying for free school meals—more than three times the national average.

The schools are immensely grateful for KSEF’s continued support, which is making a profound difference to their students’ learning and to the well-being of the wider community.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charitable company on pages 12 to 28 for the year ended 30 June 2025 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 19.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report

As described on page 8, you, the charitable company's Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of Company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the memorandum and articles of the charity for the conducting of an audit, and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-

a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;

b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and of the accounting systems employed by the charitable company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide

Docusign Envelope ID: 8941C2C0-6100-479A-B8BE-89E0DF371FF7

KNIGHTSBRIDGE SCHOOL EDUCATION FOUNDATION

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-

The accounts of this charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006;

This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;

and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;

the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination;

have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025

1 Accounting policies

Policies relating to the production of the accounts.

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.

Risks and future assumptions

The charity is a public benefit entity.

Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.

Nature of income

Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.

Categories of Income

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.

Income recognition

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.

Dividends are accrued when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established.

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

KNIGHTSBRIDGE SCHOOL EDUCATION FOUNDATION

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025

Income from legacies

Income from legacies is recognised when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them, that where required, probate has been granted, the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate, that it is probable that the amount will be received by the charity, and the amount to be received can be estimated with sufficient accuracy, and that any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

Where a payment is received from an estate or is notified as receivable by the executors after the reporting date and before the accounts are authorised for issue but it is clear that the payment had been agreed by the executors prior to the end of the reporting period, then the amount concerned is treated as an adjusting event and accrued as income in the accounting period if receipt is probable.

Where the charity has established entitlement to a legacy but there is uncertainty as to the amount of the payment, details of the legacy aredisclosed as a contingent asset until the criteria for income recognition are met. Where a legacy is subject to the interest of a life tenant, the legacy is not recognised as income until the death of the life tenant.

If it is doubtful that full settlement of a legacy debtor will be received, then an adjustment is made to reduce the amount of the legacy debtor and legacy income rather than charging the adjustment as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities

Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.

Recognition of liabilities and expenditure

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated..

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.

Current asset investments

Current asset investments are investments which a charity holds for resale or pending their sale and cash or cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year. Often overlooked; current assets investments include:

To be classified as a current asset, the charity should not intend to hold the cash or cash equivalents as part of its ongoing investment activities for more than one year from the reporting date.

Current asset investments are initially measured at cost and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value.

KNIGHTSBRIDGE SCHOOL EDUCATION FOUNDATION

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025

Creditors and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Foundation anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

Financial instruments including cash and bank balances

Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.

All financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the basis for determining fair value, including any assumptions made when using a valuation technique.

Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.

There are no endowment funds.

2 Liability to taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position

There are no significant implications of such matters.

6 The contribution of volunteers

The charity depends on the support of its volunteers, which is much appreciated. The charity had 112 Volunteers who donated 1,847 hours of their time stewarding events. Other volunteers undertook 40 hours of mailings and distributions and two specialist volunteers with DBS checks, spent 475 hours a year supporting the weekly children’s and young people’s writing groups. It is estimated that without the help of volunteers, the Festival would need to find the equivalent of over £20,000 to obtain similar services. The arrangements with volunteers are difficult to value precisely in monetary terms and have not been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. The volunteers and the charity accept and agree that no contract of employment is created by these arrangements.

No employees received emoluments (excluding pension costs) in excess of £60,000 per annum.

7 Defined contribution pension schemes

The charity did not operate a defined contribution pension scheme during the year.

8 Defined benefit pension scheme

The charity did not operate a defined benefit pension scheme during the year.

9 Remuneration and payments to Trustees and persons connected with them

No trustees or persons connected with them received any remuneration from the charity, or any related entity.

10 Investment pooling schemes and arrangements

There were no investment pooling schemes and arrangmenets during the year.
