KT Educational Charitable Trust 1

Trustees’ report Year to 31 December 2024

The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The report has been prepared in accordance with Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011 and constitutes a directors’ report for the purposes of company legislation.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 15 to 17 of the attached accounts and comply with the charitable company’s memorandum and articles of association, 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Introduction

The charity was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee on 26 October 2009 as French Education Property Trust (“FEPT”) and obtained charitable status on 18 March 2010. On 18 September 2013 the charity changed its name to KT Educational Charitable Trust (“KTECT”). In the event of the winding up of the company each member guarantees a sum not exceeding £10.

Objectives

The objectives for which the charity is established are to advance, for the public benefit in the United Kingdom, the education of pupils in the French education system. The objectives are in particular, but not limited to, the provision of premises and facilities for schools offering a French or a broader bilingual curriculum in the Kentish Town area. The charity aims to provide assistance in establishing, maintaining, carrying on, managing and developing such schools.

In setting the charity’s objectives and planning its activities, the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Review of the year

KT Educational Charitable Trust set up the Collège Français Bilingue De Londres (CFBL) school which opened in 2011.

CFBL has a board of governors who meet regularly to make key decisions for the school. KTECT team members are often invited as observers during board meetings and other working groups.

CFBL continues to pay rent on time to KT Educational Charitable Trust.

KT Educational Charitable Trust 2

Trustees’ report Year to 31 December 202

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Review of the year (continued)

The school enrolment figures for school year 2024/2025 are slightly lower than those of year 2023/2024. The effects of the introduction of VAT on school fees have not yet been reflected in any further significant enrolment loss at CFBL for next year: forecasted admissions for school year 2025/2026 amount to 685, which is actually slighter higher than last year’s projected figure for the same period. Nonetheless, CFBL has taken a cautious approach and worked its 2025/2026 budget on the basis of a 660 enrolment figure with the additional implementation of a cost savings plan. CFBL’s financial situation remains a little fragile due to the uncertainty associated with the current general downgraded economic situation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES

During the year the charity received donations of £nil (2023 – £ nil), rental income of £1,800,000 (2023 – £1,800,000) and interest of £98,000 (2023 – £78,000). Costs relating to charitable activities in the year, excluding the impairment charge of £800,000 (2023 - £2,491,000) amounted to £992,000 (2023 – £1,009,000).

Net income for the year was £106,000 (2023 – net expenditure of £1,622,000). The property held as a programme related investment was valued at £23,800,000 (2023 - £24,600,000). The total funds as at 31 December 2024 were £6,577,000 (2023 – £6,472,000).

Reserves policy

The trustees regularly monitor the cash position of the charity to ensure that there are sufficient funds for capital projects and the running of the charity, including servicing the bank finance.

Financial position

The charity had total funds at 31 December 2024 of £6,577,000 (2023 – £6,472,000). Once the programme related investments and long term loan are excluded, this leaves free reserves of £1,591,000 (2023 – £1,232,000). The free reserves represent approximately 1.8 times the net operating income (excluding the impairment charge). The trustees are of the opinion that this level of free reserves are adequate. The amount of cash at bank and in hand was £2,964,000 at 31 December 2024.

GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT

Organisation

The trustees meet officially in person or by video conference at least once a year. The last AGM was held on 29 February 2024. They also hold conference calls when required and there are at least monthly email exchanges regarding budgets. Any new trustees are inducted regarding their responsibilities and the activities of the KTECT through detailed briefings.

It is understood that current trustees have a long-term commitment. The Trust is in the process of onboarding new Trustees to bring fresh ideas and perspective, as well as ensuring governance continuity. All trustees have agreed to adhere to the charity’s conflicts of interests’ policy and have signed a statement to this effect.

GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)

Trustees

The following trustees were in office at 31 December 2024 and served throughout the year:

Trustees Mr Richard Fairbairn Mr Jean-Pierre Mustier Mr Arnaud Vaissié Mr Benjamin Vedrenne-Cloquet Appointed 13 March 2024 Mr Jack Bowles Appointed 9 May 2024

Trustees’ field of expertise is complimentary and several Trustees have been involved since inception of the Trust. New appointments will need the full board approval.

Key management personnel

The trustees consider that they comprise the key management of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity.

None of the trustees receive any remuneration for their services.

Trustees’ responsibilities statement

The trustees (who are also directors of KT Educational Charitable Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

KT Educational Charitable Trust 4

Trustees’ report Year to 31 December 202

GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)

Trustees’ responsibilities statement (continued)

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Each of the trustees confirms that:

This confirmation is given and should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of s418 of the Companies Act 2006.

Risk management

The trustees have reviewed the risks faced by the charity and have procedures in place to mitigate the risks identified.

The key risk of the charity remains the level of admissions at CFBL and the ability for the tenant school to pay their rent which in turn enables the charity to service their bank loan instalments in accordance with the lease agreement. To that extent, the charity has made a donation to CFBL to finance a dedicated communication strategy aiming at reaching out to international and British families in the context of VAT applied to fees of private schools in the UK. In addition, KTECT trustees have agreed to support financially a merit-based scholarship scheme for CFBL.

Although the admissions campaign currently shows little change on enrolments for 2025/2026 compared to last year, the numbers remain closely monitored on a regular basis.

Raising funds

The charity does not actively fundraise although it welcomes donations. The charity aims to achieve best practice in the way in which it communicates with donors and other supporters. It takes care with both the tone of its communications and the accuracy of its data and never sells data, it never swaps data and ensures that communication preferences can be changed at any time. The charity manages its own fundraising activities and does not employ the services of professional fundraisers. The charity undertakes to react to and investigate any complaints regarding its fundraising activities and to learn from them and improve its service. During the year, the charity received no complaints about its fundraising activities.

Trustees’ report Year to 31 December 202 4

FUTURE PLANS

Discussions progressed on the merger between Wembley Educational Charitable Trust (WECT) and KT Educational Charitable Trust (KTECT), that respectively own the school premises leased to Lycée Churchill and Ecole Andre Malraux on the one hand, and those leased to College Français Bilingue de Londres on the other. The French Ministry of Finance providing the respective State-guaranteed loan for each Trust is involved and the interactions with them and the lending bank are in advanced mode to ensure all aspects of the planned merger have been looked at. The objective is to implement the consolidation before the end of 2025, subject to various legal requirements.

As landlord, KTECT is also supporting the school to ensure that the planned maintenance works to the buildings are duly implemented and provisioned in the school’s budget.

Finally, KTECT continues to plan its financial support of CFBL on dedicated strategy aiming at student acquisition and retention, such as communication campaigns as well as scholarship schemes.

The above report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions as set out in Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 and Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 December 2024

Independent auditor’s report to the members of KT Educational Charitable Trust

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of KT Educational Charitable Trust (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows, the principal accounting policies and the notes to the financial statements. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 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:

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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 charitable company 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

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

KT Educational Charitable Trust 7

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 December 2024

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, including the trustees’ report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

KT Educational Charitable Trust 8

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 December 2024

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 4, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 trustees 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect to irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:

How the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

KT Educational Charitable Trust 9

Independent auditor’s report Year ended 31 December 2024

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the accounts (continued)

How the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud (continued)

We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and review of minutes of trustees’ meetings.

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

Agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose.

Principal accounting policies 31 December 2024

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are laid out below.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared for the year to 31 December 2024 with comparative information for the year ended 31 December 2023.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (Charities SORP FRS 102) issued on 1 January 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds.

Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Preparation of the financial statements requires the trustees and management to make significant judgements and estimates.

The items in the accounts where these judgements and estimates have been made include the valuation of programme related investment properties.

Assessment of going concern

The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these accounts.

The trustees of the charity have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and have concluded that the charity will have sufficient reserves to meet liabilities as they fall due.

Income recognition

Income is recognised in the period in which the charity has entitlement to the income, the amount of income can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

KT Educational Charitable Trust 15

Principal accounting policies 31 December 2024

Income recognition (continued)

Income comprises rental income and interest receivable.

Rental income on assets leased under operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term. Fees for management services are recognised on an accruals basis.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity. This is normally on notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Expenditure recognition

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure comprises direct costs and support costs. All expenses, including support costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. The classification between activities is as follows:

All expenditure is stated inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Allocation of support and governance costs

Support costs represent indirect charitable expenditure. In order to carry out the primary purposes of the charity it is necessary to provide support in the form of personnel development, financial procedures, provision of office services and equipment and a suitable working environment.

Governance costs comprise the costs involving the public accountability of the charity (including audit costs) and costs in respect to its compliance with regulation and good practice.

KT Educational Charitable Trust 16

Principal accounting policies 31 December 2024

Programme related investments

Programme related investments comprise freehold property used by another charitable organisation for purposes consistent with the charity’s objectives. They are stated at fair value. The property is periodically independently valued by a professional chartered surveyor on a fair value basis which takes into consideration rental charge and the current use of the premises as a school. The value is considered each year and any impairment is written off and treated as charitable expenditure in the statement of financial activities.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for nonrecoverability. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions 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. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash payment where such discounting is material.

Bank loans are a basic financial instrument and are recognised at their transaction value, which is normally the principal amount advanced plus transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, loans are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised through the statement of financial activities using the effective interest method.

Funds structure

The funds of the charity are unrestricted and can be expended at the discretion of the trustees in line with the governing document of the charity.
