## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (INCLUDING THE DIRECTORS REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The objects of the charity are the advancement of Jewish religious education, the advancement of the Jewish religion, the relief of poverty and the relief of the aged infirm and disabled. This is achieved mainly through the running of a School in North London.
The school is a friendly and welcoming school with a positive atmosphere. We have a very hard working staff that put tremendous focus on developing achievements for every learner. Their dedication and high expectations are evident in many areas of the school. An important factor is to provide individual attention enabling students to achieve their maximum potential.
Pupils take their studies seriously and apply themselves fully. They show good attitude to learning because the school sets and demands high expectations. Systems have been developed to help pupils make good progress within a framework that promotes equality, respect and positive relations between pupils and between staff and pupils.
As our Torah teaches us total respect for all people, no matter who and where they come from, therefore it is inline that we abide by all the laws of equality and the land which incorporates British Values and any other laws relevant to the upkeep and order of our country. It is also well known that in our prayers, we pray for the Queen and our country and we feel a sense of pride towards our Monarch.
Our vision is to deliver high-class education, which is firmly based on Torah principles and combined with a strong Chol Curriculum and to enable our pupils to be productive, upstanding citizens.
We aim to develop:
- in each girl her Charedi Jewish identity while enabling her to experience success, and progress and enjoyment academically, personally and socially.
- in each girl her thinking, skills and creativity
- in each girl a moral understanding and a range of skills, talents and values in particular: modesty, tolerance, respect of others, courtesy and the general demeanour as a Bas Yisroel.
- in each girl leadership, initiative, tolerance and self-discipline.
- a respect for the environment and an understanding of the world in which we live.
- skills to be an upright citizen.
- career opportunities.
In summary, our aims are:
CHALLENGE- we aim to promote challenge through high expectations of learning and behaviour. CARING- children will be happy and secure, and their achievements will be celebrated and valued by all. CONSISTENCY- the school will grow and change but will remain true to our vision. COMMUNICATION- we realise the importance of efficient, effective communication.
CONTRIBUTION - from all members of the school community will be valued and recognised. To be upstanding citizens that will be an asset to our country.
## **Significant activities**
The charity aims to achieve its main objective of the advancement of Jewish religious education through the running of a school based in North London and the provision of funding to other entities that support the same charitable objectives.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (INCLUDING THE DIRECTORS REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Public benefit**
The trustees of the school confirm that they have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and the requirements of S4 of the Charities Act 2011 in this area.
The main purpose and objective of the charity is the provision of high quality education in a safe and supporting learning environment.
The charity's funds are utilised by its school to fund staff and activities to enable high quality education to be provided on an ongoing basis. When considering which pupils to admit, the school do not discriminate between them based upon the personal circumstances of their parents.
The charity also utilises its funds in furtherance of its other objectives, which are the advancement of the Jewish religion, the relief of poverty and the relief of the aged infirm and disabled.
Our vision is to deliver a high-class education, which is firmly based on Torah principles and combined with a strong Chol Curriculum. To enable our pupils to be productive, upstanding citizens.
## **Volunteers**
The majority of the charity's work is undertaken by paid employees. Occasional voluntary assistance is provided by Governors and Parents.
## **STRATEGIC REPORT**
## **Achievement and performance**
## **Charitable activities**
Throughout the Covid-19 lockdown the school provided remote learning. A system was set up rather fast which assisted in the standard of learning and connection between children to remain strong. The children were excited and enjoyed the many extra fun lessons provided to boost morale. Although, as restrictions eased and children returned to school as usual, we ensured that the Health and Safety of staff and pupils were on the highest level possible.
Club is a very exciting part of school life where the girls experience opportunities in dance and drama as well as baking and crafting. We held an exhibition evening at which their talent was displayed. The public were fascinated and impressed.
The library is being very active and successful, although it constantly needs reviving with a new collection of up-to-date books and equipment.
For those girls needing extra provision in Numeracy, we have enrolled them with the Kumon program, taking place in house. The tracking graphs indicate the huge improvements in their mental maths level.
As the school’s year grades are increasing, by comparison; so are our running costs, salary expenses and uniform stock. To house the influx of students we have added a new wing in our Lordship Road site. Thus, construction costs have climbed up.
All in all, the school management and staff are constantly analysing their performance and deliverance and seeking where to improve.
## **Financial review**
## **Key Performance Indicators**
The trustees monitor the entities performance against its charitable objectives on a regular basis. Performance is assessed against the objectives and expectations using financial and non-financial indicators. The key financial performance indicators used by the charity are income from charitable activities, donations income, grant income and expenditure on charitable activities.
## **Principal funding sources**
The major sources of income during the year were donations from various institutions, income from the provision of childcare services and various Government grants to support the school. During the year under review the charity received generous donations of £511,617 (2020: £876,270), childcare receipts of £811,510 (2020: £674,071) and Government grants of £450,611 (2020: £577,679)

## **STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review**
## **Investment policy and objectives**
The charity's memorandum authorises the trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity.
## **Reserves policy**
The reserves policy is to ensure that there is a sufficient stream of income to meet the working capital of the school.
## **Future plans**
Based on the consistent annual increase in pupil intake the school will outgrow its current premises in the next 3-5 years. The charity is therefore considering potential options for the future to handle the increased demand.
## **Going concern**
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the charity has adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, its memorandum and articles of association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
It is not currently the intention of the trustees of the charity to appoint new trustees. Should this situation change in the future, the trustees will apply suitable recruitment and training procedures.
## **Organisational structure**
There are three trustees who also act as directors. They meet on a regular basis to discuss the affairs of the charity. All decisions are based on a majority decision of the directors but in almost all cases the votes are unanimous.
## **Related parties**
Details of transactions with related parties are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.
The trustees pay particular attention to the financial sustainability. The trustees regularly review the available funding sources to ensure that the charity has sufficient liquid funds to meet its short term working capital needs and sustainable funding sources to meet its mid to long term obligations. The principle risks are financial including items such as bad debts as well as reduction in student numbers and loss of grants receivable.
## **STREAMLINED ENERGY AND CARBON REPORTING**
The trustees ensure that the activities of the charity are performed in a way that has as little damaging effect on the environment as possible.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Vishnitz Girls School Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"
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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF VISHNITZ GIRLS SCHOOL LTD**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Vishnitz Girls School Ltd (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 May 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
- In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 May 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
- 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 Auditors' 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 charitable company'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.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF VISHNITZ GIRLS SCHOOL LTD**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, 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.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: - We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity through discussion with the trustees and identified financial reporting legislation and charity legislation as being most significant to these financial statements.
- We communicated these identified frameworks amongst our audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We ensured that the engagement team had sufficient competence and capability to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations.
- We discussed with the trustees the policies and procedures regarding compliance with these legal and regulatory frameworks.
- We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement due to non-compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks, including how fraud might occur, by enquiry with the trustees during the planning and finalisation stages of our audit. The susceptibility to such material misstatement was determined to be low.
- Based on this understanding, we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with the identified legal and regulatory frameworks, which were part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
- We performed appropriate audit testing on the recognition and completeness of income.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has evidence of entitlement to the funds, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations income is recognised on receipt and grant income is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **Governance costs**
The costs include costs related to statutory audit and direct governing costs.
## **Tangible fixed assets depreciation**
All categories of fixed assets are held on the balance sheet at historic cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Improvements to the property - 2% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 15% on reducing balance
If an event occurs which indicates a material reduction in a fixed asset's carrying value, an impairment review will be carried out. Any impairment charge is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)**
## **Financial instruments**
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity 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.
## **Government grant (Furlough Scheme)**
A portion of grant income relates to furlough income under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Cash payments were made to compensate for part of the wages, associated national insurance and employer contributions of employees who have been placed on furlough.
This grant income has been recognised under the performance model whereby entitlement to the grant only passes to the company when relevant employees are placed on furlough. Grant income is recognised on a straight line basis over the furlough period for each employee.
Grants received before the recognition criteria are satisfied are recognised as a liability.
## **Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

## **12. FIXED ASSET INVESTMENTS**
The charity owns 100% of the issued share capital of First Buy Ltd. For the period up to 31.05.21 the entity has remained dormant. Due to the insignificant amount of activity during the period, it has not been considered appropriate to prepare consolidated accounts. The investment in First Buy Ltd is therefore held on the balance sheet as a fixed asset investment.
