Achievements* perfornianee. and future plans This year ha5 seen sorne substantial ebanges and developments in the scope of ventures activity. As Ark has grown. many ventl￿eS and initiatives have been tightly associated with schools. They either share lesson5 that are learned from that frontline experience and expertise - as in the case of Ark Cwriculum Plus - or fill identified gaps itt the way that the need for early years support focused on education led to the creation of Ark StarL However, schools are onty part of the story. Over the years, ventures have ranged far over the educational landscape - from extra-curricular support and STEM-focused campaigns to approaches that explore solutions Iwond schools OT address challenges in otber sertors like health and social care. Both school-inspired ventures and these more wide-rangins projects are critical to achieving Arvs mi&8ion. As Ark Lx)ntinues to grow. it is paramount that the eharity does not lose focus by takins on too many projects. Ark's approach has always been to incubate great ideas but then allow individual organisations to flourish independently. In 2023. it was decided that Ark's ineubation activity had reached a point where it had sufficient scale and demand to support the current ventures team to thrive as an independent charity. This Deworganisation- Purposefillventures-was set-up as an independent charity in November 2023, after the year end, and will work to solve intractable challenges in education and society. L£d by Michael Clark, the long-standing Deputy CEO of Ark. it will focus on creating a fairer wiety, where all youns people thrive. The new organisatioll will work d05ely with Ark and other partners to belp tackle a wider range of challenges facing families. children and young people - from incubating a national network of baby banks to supwjrting postgraduate careers in STEM. Lucy Heller. Ark's CEO is a Trustee of PUr￿se￿ll Venturo%. Ark will continue to create new initiatives that innovate and learn lessons from our schools to addre&s the challenges we learn frotn the frontline. Most immediately this will be with the developTnent of Ark Curriculum Plu5 and Ark Start as well as the excitins completion of Edcity. Further information on these plans is set out below. Alongside the substantial work to shape the new strategy and support the spin-out of Purposeful Ventures. it was a b￿$Y year for our ventures. Below is a summary of activity for all the ventures supported by Ark UK Programmes tbrough the year. Trustees. report induding Strategic Report Year ended 31 August 2023 Achievementsi perforniance. and future plans (continued) Ark Stort Ark Start was founded to transfonn early education for disadvantaged children. It provides high￿uaLlty. teacher-led early education with a foeus on workins with parents to improve the home learning environrnent for pre-school children. Ark Start is creating a new model of flexible. affordable nursery education and aims to create an exemplar group of nurseries that will accelerate outcomes for the most disadvantaged children and trdnsforni the funding of early years so that the pupils wbo need tbe most support attract the most funding. Achievements andperforniance." Ark Start's two open Durseries are now fully established and at full capacity (Ark Start John Archer in Clapham JuDCtion and Ark Start Oval in Fast Croydon). Ark Start developed a srowins coalition of partners advocating for increased funding in disadvantaged areas. Given the early SUCC￿ and the need to maximise impact on policy makers, Ark Start is pursuing plans to expand to eight nurseries to strengthen its proof of Coll￿pt, with secure plans in place to open at least two additional nurseries this year. Futureplans In 2023124, Ark Start plans to: Launeh the evaluation of Ark Start in partnership with our evaluation partner, sow. Open at least two new nurseries.

Ark c￿rriCUluM Plus Arkcurriculum Plus (AC+) was forn)edin 2019 following the mergerof Mathemati&s Mastery, a venture sinee 2012, and Englisb Mastery> a venture since 2017. and has since launched new programmes in Science, History, and Geography. AC+ partners with schools to achieve subject excellence. empowering teachers to ensure that every child has the subject knowledge to succeed. Schools follow a five- step irnprovernent process, with support from a subjeet expert at each stage. Teachers are given all the ingredients they need to ensure every Child can access an ambitious curriculum, including comprehensive r&8earch-based curriculum and assessment resources and integrated CPD. The AC+ curriculum pn)grammes are having the greatest impact in schools with a high proportion of inexperienced or non-specialist teachers. helping them reach proficiency as quickly as possible.

The financial statements have been prepared under tbe historical cost convention th items reeognised at cost OT transaction value unl&%s otherwqse stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance ￿th Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in aceordance with the Finaneial Reporting Standard applicable to the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (Charities SORP FRS102). the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statemerAts are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds. itical accounting estimates and areas ofjudgement Preparation of the accounts requires the t￿￿teeS and management to make significant judgements and estirnates. The items in the accounts where these judgements and estimates have been made include- Estimating the impact of inflation on the eharity's income and expenditure. and a&%e&sing income from new sales and activities, foT the purpose of preparing cash flow forecasts and budgets to assist in the assessment of going concern. Allocating support costs across charitable actsvities" Timing of income recognition for programme fees; Classification of leases as finance or operating. Deteimining the discount rate for future cash flows. and Measurement of fair values of the invostrnent property. Assessment osgoing concern The trustees have assessed whetber the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these financial statements. The trustees have made this asS￿rnent in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. The tr￿Stees have considered the impact cost pressures due to the wider eeonornic challenges. The trustees have looked at the financial position. including income, expenditure. and reserves. and have acknowledged that some areas of Work continue to be challenging. for example AC+ activity in UK schools. The tr￿SteeS do not consider the post-pandemic environment or other cost pressures due to wider economic challenges to be a cause for material uncertainty in respect of the ability of the charity to wntinue as a going concern. 22 Ark UK Programmes Notes to the financial statements Yearto 31 Ausnist 2023 Aeeounting polieles (continued) Assessment ofgoing concern (continued) A numberof areas of judgement that affect ttems in the accounts havebeen identified above. In addition. the most signifieant areas that 8ffeet the earrying value of the assets held by the charity in the next aeeounting period (the year ending 31 August 2024) are the level of investment return and the perforn]ance of the investment markets (see the investment policy and the risk management sections of the trustees. re￿rt for more inforniation). The truste£s remain of the opinion that the eharitywill have sufficient resour￿5 to meet its liabilities as they fall due. In the unlikely event that the charity was unable to meet its liabilities. the parent charity. Ark. would provide the necessary financial support in the forrn of a grant or loan. The trustees have therefore concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the ebarity to eontinue as a goin8 concern. Fund accounting Restricted funds are those which are to be ￿Sed for a specified purpose as stipulated by the donor and agreed by the charity. Unrestricted ￿ndS are those which the donor gives to the charity without stipulatins a specific purpose. They are to be used for the furtherance of the objects of the charity in general and may be applled to specifie projects at the discretion of the trustees to further the charity's pUry￿se8. The endowment bjnd represents monies invested on behalf of individual Ark academies. Any returns generated on these funds can be used without restriction, but only by the academy in question. and are therefore recognised as restricted ineome. The initial capita] can onlybe used with agreement of the Seeretary of State for Education, unless it is spent OD 'equipment, facilities, accommodation, landscaping. and signage. at the relevant academy. The Ark All Saints Academy endohTnent is a permanent endowment for which Ark UK Programmes has been appointed as the tn￿tee. All income and expenditure is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. Income Ineorne is recosnised in the period in which the eharity has entitlement to the income, the amount of incorne can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income ￿11 be received. Where a service is prosryded over a period that spans more than one accounting period. a judgement is made as to tbe amount of income that should be accrued or deferred. Donated services and facilities promded to the eharity are reeognised in the period when it is probable that the economie benefits will flow to the charity* provided they can be measured reliably. This is normally when the service is provided. An equivalent amount is included as expenditure. Donated services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain facilities or services of equivalent e￿nOMiC benefit on the open market. 23 Ark UK PrOgraM￿eS Notes to the financial statements Year to 31 August 2023 Aeeounting policies (continued) Expenditure Liabilities, including those relating to staff costs and redundancies, are recognised as e￿ndIture as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. Expenditure is accounted for on an aecrual basis and has been elassified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Ark UK Programmes is resistered for VAT and reclaims VAT in its bUsIn￿-related expenditure. Irreeoverdble VAT is ineluded in expenditure when incurred. Costs of raising fi￿dS are those incurred in seeking donations for the charity and in publicising the work of the charity. Expenditure on charitable artI￿tieS comprise expenditure related to the direct rtherance of the Chari￿s objectives. In the accounts of the charity, the award of a grant is recorded as charitable expenditure and the unspent amount is held in the balance sheet as a grant creditor. Alioeation ofoverhead and support costs Support costs are those functlODS that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activbties. Support costs include back-office costs, finance. pa￿011. and Governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the management of the cbariws a&sets. organisationa] administration, and compliance vrith eonstitutional and statutory requirements. Where costs canIiot be directly attributed, they have been allocated to activities. The basis for the allocation of support costs to charitable activiti&s is set out in note 5 to the financial statements. Volunteers and donated se￿1 With the exception of tntstees, patrons and a small number of advisors who all provide their services on a voluntary basis, the charity does not rely upon volunteers or donated seNices in delivering services. The financial value of semces donated by adNrysors is included as expenditure at an estimated fair value and a corresponding value of incotne is included as an in-kitld donation. Discontinued activities Where a decision has been made to discontinue or terniinate an activity in accordance with the definitions contained wthin FRS 102. income. costs, and obligatioLs associated with tbe discontinuing operation are reeognised within the year. The income. o)sts. and obligations are disclosed separately on the face of the statement of financial activities. Investments Inv£strnents are a form of b&sic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sbeet date.

Ark UK Programmes Notes to the finaneial statements Yearto 31 August 2023 Accounting policies (continued) Investments (continued) A fair value hierarchy that prioritises the inputs to valuation techniques is used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in aetive markets for identical assets or liabilities ([￿e1 i rneasurernent) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (I£vel 3 measurement). The levels of fair value hierdrchy are described below. Level i (listed investments)- Unadj￿5ted quoted process in active rnarkets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical. unrestricted assets. or liabilities- Level 2 (unlisted investments)- Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable either directly or indirectly- and Level 3 (unlisted illvestmeDts)- Prices orvaluation that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. Investments that trade in marketsthat are not eonsidered to be active but are valued based on quoted rnarket prices for an identical instrument, dealer quotations. or alternative pricing sources supported byobservable inputs are dassified within Level 2. As IEvel 2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets andlor are subject to transter restrictiOTLS, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquRdity andlor non-transferability. which are generallybased on available market information. The main fomi of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity rnarkets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions. the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment coneerning equities and within particular sectors or sub-sectors. InU￿tment Property Investment Property is held by Ark UK ProgramTne5 to earn rentals and for Capital appreciation, rather than for use in the ordinary Course of business. Investment properties are measured at cost and subsequently at fair value at the reportins date. Profe&8ional ad￿ce is sought as appropriate to detemine the valuation of investment property. Changes in fair values are reeognised in the statement of financial activities. Investment property is subject to renovations or improvements at regular intervals. The cost of major renovations and improvements is capitalised. The cost of maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements is recognised in the statement of financial activities when occurred. On disposal of an investment property. the difference between the disposal pro￿dS and the Carrying amount is recosnised in the statement of financial activities. Foreign curreneies Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign eurreneies are restated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balanee sheet date.

The Ark Sch(¥ols Endowment Interest in restricted funds has arisen from dividen¢ls and interest paid out on the endowment investtnents held by Ark UK Programmes on behalf of Indi￿dual Ark academies. The income is restricted for use by the Ark academyfrom whose endowmentthe income arose. The endowment fund represents monie5 invested on behalf of individual Ark academies. Any returns generated on these fijnds can be used without restriction. but only by the acadetny in question, and are therefore recognised as restricted income.

The exception to this is the Ark All Saints Academy endowment for which Ark UK Programmes was appointed the tn￿tee in January 2015. The principal surn of thi5 endowtnent can only be spent with the perrnis5ioTh of the Secretary of State.
