Charitable activities
The school provides a unique teaching system with continual assessment for its students and teaching staff. Where on a weekly basis a teaching plan is given to individual teachers and at the the end of the week the students are assessed on what they have been taught through the teaching plan.
The school has a tailored syllabus for its eldest students 12 to 13 year olds where the syllabus is drawn up according to relevance rather than the norm of working through teaching books.
The adult women classes introduced last year which run 4 days a week continued in the year, these were provided on a voluntary basis.

The school has had a higher uptake of new students and has reluctantly had to increase student fees to cover rising costs.This has resulted in a modest surplus for the year.
FUTURE PLANS
The Madrasah is planning to increase its intake of students for the future and utilise the spare capacity and continuing to take admissions for nursery classes.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MADRASAH IMAM BUKHARI
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Madrasah Imam Bukhari ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st August 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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 accounts to be reached.
