De Nederlandse Regenboog School – Annual Report 2021

The Charity’s objectives

De Nederlandse Regenboog School was founded in 1993 and turned into a Charity in September 2007. Its objectives are to advance Dutch language and Dutch & Flemish cultural education for school children. These children are already familiar with the Dutch language or have at least one parent/carer who speaks Dutch or one parent/carer with the Dutch or Belgian nationality.

Registered Charity No. 1121703 School location: Salusbury Road, London, NW6 6RG

An External Trustee cannot be a parent/ carer of a current pupil at the school nor a teacher but is a nominated person with a relevant connection to the Charity’s objectives. The External Trustees don’t receive specific training but are familiar with the publication The Essential Trustee – what you need to know, published by the Charity Commission. The following external trustees have been appointed:

The Governors

The Charity’s membership consists of all parents/carers of the children attending the school. During the annual general meeting, the Members elect the governing body and can also seek election into that governing body. The governing body manages and administers the Charity. During the General meeting in June 2021 the following members were elected as officers:

The governing body consists of volunteers. Its officers are prepared for their posts by their predecessors as well as through training by the Dutch government through Stichting NOB (Nederlands Onderwijs Buitenland), an organization supporting Dutch schools abroad. A written record listing the officers’ duties is in place. The School Director is responsible for the curriculum and the educational planning, in close co-operation with the other members of the teaching staff. Decisions are made by consensus and discussed in meetings by the governing body.

The Trustees

Both Governors and Trustees are ‘charity trustees’ (as defined in the s.177 Charities Act 2011) and collectively have legal responsibility to ensure the charity complies with the requirements of its governing document, charity law and any other legislation or regulations, which govern the activities of the charity.

The Governing Body proposes the external Trustees and asks the Charity’s members for approval at the next Annual General Meeting.

The Trustees attend the Annual Trustees Meeting, where the Governing Body presents the previous year’s annual report as well as its plans for the upcoming year. The Trustees will discuss the report and advise on plans for the future. The following annual meeting will be held in the spring of 2022.

Financial declaration

The school aims to keep the receipts and payments in balance, as the Charity is not for profit. To ensure that the school always has the necessary funding for unforeseen expenses or an unexpected drop in receipts, it keeps additional savings (reserves). The aim is to have additional savings of at least 100% of annual payments.

Receipts

The school is funded by parent/carer contributions, £102,335 this year, and a grant from the Dutch government, which was £36,743 in 2021. Total receipts for this year: £139,209.

Payments

Total payments (including foreign) for the year 2021 were £127,619, the majority of which are teacher salaries (£98,959).

For most of the lockdown the school obtained a 50% reduction in rent. These savings have been used towards supplementary compensation to all teaching staff. Events have been limited due to COVID-19 restrictions, yet expenses have remained as budgeted as all children received a Dutch reading book for the yearly St. Nicholas celebrations.

Reserves

The reserves (as per 31 December 2021) have increased to a total of £137,000 – which is in line with the target of 100% of annual payments. The trustees aim to balance the budget each year and agree to keep the level of reserves stable around 100% of annual payments.

External scrutiny of accounts

The receipts and payments accounts (CC16a) for 2021 were completed in May 2021 and submitted to David Lindon & Co Chartered Accountants for external examination.

At this moment the school is in a stable and healthy financial position to run as a going concern as well as cope with certain unforeseen events. The continuation of Government grants combined with parental contributions will suffice to meet the payments made in the ordinary course as well as contribute to the funding of our objectives for 2022 and beyond.
