Objectives and activities
The principal activity of Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund is to advance education for the benefit of the community of Shirebrook. This is achieved by investing the lump sum investment it has received from the former Sponsor of Shirebrook Academy and using the returns from the investment to support students, members of the community and the staff to further education in the local community.
Objectives, strategies and activities
The returns from our Sponsor's donation of £2,000,000 received when the Academy opened are to be used for the following purposes:
-
assisting and supporting the education of students at the Academy including the provision of awards, prizes or other rewards;
-
relieving the financial hardship of pupils and ex-pupils of the school by the provision of bursaries, scholarships, equipment or in any other way the trustees think fit to enable them to pursue their education;
-
providing grants or other financial assistance to assist pupils in financial need to undertake curricular activities (including educational travel in the United Kingdom or overseas)
-
providing or assisting in the provision of services or facilities at the Academy not provided for under the funding agreement; and
-
fostering closer ties between the Academy and community, including promoting education in the community served by the Academy.

Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund gives a high priority to providing public benefit to a cross section of the community regardless of family background. Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund assists by funding the Family Fun Day and extra curricula training for staff so that they are able to deliver a wider range of experiences for the benefit of the community.

TRUSTEE'S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
Financial review
The performance of the unit trusts during the year has been relatively stable. The value of the funds have decreased by 5.6% (2019: 0.9%) with a 2.2% (2019 - 2.2%) dividend yield (based on the value of the unit trusts as at 31 August 2020). The decrease in value of the funds was expected due to the level of uncertainty, primarily due to Brexit & COVID-19.
Reserves policy
At the end of the year total reserves carried forward are £2,641,000 (2019 - £2,793,000) in the fund. It is the policy of Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund to administer the income from the fund in order to support the following:
-
Community events (e.g. Family Fun Day)
-
Hardship fund for students for trips and visits etc.
The returns will only be spent on these items when there are considered to be sufficient funds to do so without endangering the capital value of the original £2,000,000 investment.
Investment policy
The Trustee of the Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund primarily invests its funds with St James' Place. Following their professional advice this was invested into a number of Unit Trusts as longer term investments across a number of locations/markets. Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund has £98,000 (2019 - £101,000) invested into cash deposits to facilitate in carrying out its charitable activities.
At the outset, Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund invested £2,000,000 into Unit Trusts, with the aim of achieving a spread of funds and therefore significant diversification of asset class including equities and fixed interest, geographical areas, and currency. The value of these unit trusts at the year end was £2,545,000 (2019 - £2,696,000). The aim of this is to allow the value of the Fund's capital to grow in the medium to long term whilst allowing withdrawals to be made from the cash deposits to further the aims of the Fund in the short term.
Risk management
The major risks to which Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund is exposed are as follows: - Erosion of capital due to inflation - Loss of capital due to volatile market conditions
- Loss of reputation.
The trustee has considered these risks. Policies and procedures have been put into place to minimise these risks, including regular reviews of the performance of the investments, diversification of investments (both by geographical sector and by asset class), and maintaining an appropriate balance between cash and unit trust based investments. Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund is also advised by St James's Place, a professional wealth management company.
When assessing the risks that the charity is exposed to the trustee has considered the impact of COVID-19. Whilst the trustee accepts that this may exacerbate some of the risks listed above it firmly believes that it has the policies and procedures in place to mitigate the potential impact.
Plans for future periods
The trustee is considering using Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund to assist in the provision of extracurricular community support. Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund will continue to target supporting community events and assisting students facing severe hardship where the Academy is not able to assist with other grant funding it receives.
Structure, governance and management
Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund is a registered charity established under a Deed Of Gift and Declaration of Trust dated 4 February 2010 as amended on 28 April 2017. The Deed of Gift and Declaration of Trust outlines the objects of the Trust

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEE OF SHIREBROOK ACADEMY ENDOWMENT FUND
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund (the ‘the trust’) for the year ended 31 August 2020 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 charity’s affairs as at 31 August 2020 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 Charities Act 2011.
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 the trust 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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the trustee have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the the trust’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
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 trustee are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEE OF SHIREBROOK ACADEMY ENDOWMENT FUND
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 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustee's 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.
Responsibilities of trustee
As explained more fully in the statement of trustee's responsibilities, the trustee 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 trustee 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 trustee are responsible for assessing the the trust’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 trustee either intend 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located 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.

SHIREBROOK ACADEMY ENDOWMENT FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Shirebrook Academy Endowment Fund is a registered charity established under a Deed Of Gift and Declaration of Trust dated 4 February 2010 as amended on 28 April 2017. The Deed of Gift and Declaration of Trust outlines the objects of the Trust.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the the trust's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 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 the trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The the trust has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the the trust. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £'000.
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 trustee have a reasonable expectation that the the trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustee continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with the specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Permanent endowment funds relate to the initial donation by the sponsor which represents the permanent capital base of the charity and which may not be spent. Income arising on the endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as restricted income once crystallised. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments form part of the fund, however any amounts above the initial donation are treated as an expendable endowment fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund.
1.4 Income
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
- 10 -
SHIREBROOK ACADEMY ENDOWMENT FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled..
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. It includes dividends, interest and rent. Where it is not practicable to identify investment management costs incurred within a scheme with reasonable accuracy the investment income is reported net of these costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established.
1.5 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
• Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.
• Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
• Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
• All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. floor areas, per capita or estimated usage.
• Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
1.6 Fixed asset investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in 'net gains / (losses) on investments' in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.
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 the trust 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 the trust's balance sheet when the the trust 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.

(Continued)
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 the trust’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
