TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR FROM 1 JANUARY TO 31 DECEMBER 2023
At present, no specific policies or procedures are in place, in respect of the induction or training of new Officers as Trustees.
Risk Management
The Trustees have examined the major governing, operational and financial risks, which the Charity faces and systems are in place to lessen these risks. The potential risks, and management of them, are regularly reviewed by the Trustees.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the Charity are as follows:
-
a) to advance the education of the public in the classics including, without limitation, by running summer schools;
-
b) to improve and maintain the quality of the teaching of the classics;
-
c) to provide means by which teachers of the classics may help one another to meet the challenge of changing educational conditions and requirements;
-
d) to serve teachers of classics.
The Charity primarily undertakes its activities through the provision of its Summer Schools. This is as a result of the transfer of the bulk of the Charity’s other activities to the Classical Association at the end of 2014.
JSST refers to the Charity Commissions’ general guidance on public benefit when reviewing JSST’s policy and objectives and in planning JSST’s future activities.
REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENT
The four Summer Schools, in Greek, Latin, Classical Civilisation/Ancient History and the Greek and Latin School at Durham, took place in July and August, although, they attracted slightly fewer students than in 2022.
Across the four schools, there were a total of 602 students, with a mix from state and independent schools, universities and overseas institutions. There was, as usual, a full range in terms of prior experience with Classics, from complete beginners up to those studying at university level. The courses for teachers running at the Latin Summer School and the Greek Summer School also attracted increasing numbers of education professionals looking to enhance their skills to teach ancient languages in their own schools.
In addition, the trustees are pleased to support a new initiative undertaken by staff from the JACT Greek Summer School, to provide a new Greek exam accessible to those working in limited curriculum time for whom GCSE is not practical. The Intermediate Certificate in Classical Greek ran as a pilot with 15 schools in 2022, with support from the Classical Association and Classics for All, leading to an exam in 2023, which was taken by 441 students.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Review of Transactions and Financial Position
Despite the small reduction in student numbers across the four Summer Schools, the overall results for 2023 remained positive, bolstered in part by grant income received for the setup of the new Intermediate Certificate in Classical Greek . In total a surplus of £12,692 (2022: £7,481) has been generated in the year, and overall incoming resources have risen from £512,672 in 2022 to £536,188 in 2023, an increase of 5%.
As a result of the surplus recorded in 2023, the Association had total funds as at 31 December 2023 amounting to £168,388.
Reserves Policy
The Charity’s reserves policy is for each of its Summer Schools to maintain reserves at least sufficient to cover the annual fixed costs of running its activities independently and to maintain Central Office's working capital by proportional contributions at a figure agreed by the Governors.
Grant Awarding Policy
The Charity will continue to make considerable numbers of grants through bursaries to Summer School students, including current and prospective teachers of classics.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
The Trustees (who are also the directors of JACT Summer Schools Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts 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 Charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Charity information
JACT Summer Schools Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is situated at 10 Market Walk, Saffron Walden, Essex. CB10 1JZ
Accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charity’s governing document, the Companies Act 2006 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 (FRS102). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS102.
The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The accounts are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the Charity has a reasonable expectation that it has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Charity continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity, and which have not been designated for other purposes. Unrestricted funds consist of the accumulated fund and general funds of the four summer schools.
Restricted funds are funds which are used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors. The Charity does not currently have any Restricted funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the Charity is legally entitled to the income, and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Specifically for grant income, where receipt of a grant is conditional on performance of a specific project, income is accounted for once the Charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Where no conditions are applied to incoming grants, income is accounted for on receipt.

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Charitable activities includes all costs relating to activities where the primary aim is part of the objects of the Charity, along with an apportionment of support costs.
Governance costs consist of the costs incurred in the management of the Charity and the costs of meeting its external reporting requirements.
Support costs consist of administration expenses incurred in the day to day management of the Charity, together with the cost of premises used for such activities. These costs are allocated across the categories of charitable expenditure, governance costs and costs of generating funds. Support costs are allocated on a labour basis, using the proportion of staff time allocated to certain activities, on the basis that this forms the fairest method of allocation of such costs.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
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.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. The charity has no bank loans or other more complex financial instruments that require measurement at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
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 assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Critical accounting estimates and judgements (continued)
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.
