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 Foundation Trust's purpose, as set out in the objects contained in the company's Memorandum of Association are to: - advance for the public benefit education in the United Kingdom, in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing by promoting the establishment maintenance, carrying on, management and development of Knowledge Schools Trust (KST). The Foundation Trust supports the schools and enriches the education of pupils in Knowledge Schools Trust. ## **Public benefit** We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. Page 1 **KNOWLEDGE SCHOOLS FOUNDATION TRUST** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023** ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Charitable activities** The Foundation Trust’s mission is to increase opportunities for all pupils by supporting sport, music, art, drama, trips, library resources, career advice, other educational support and activities beyond the classroom, via funds raised for KST schools. ## **Funding** The Foundation Trust funded itself through standing order donations from parents/carers, one-off donations from parents/carers and other interested parties, related Gift Aid payments, corporate gifts and grants from foundations. Total revenue increased by £18,317 to £160,732. The majority of unrestricted funds come from monthly standing orders amounting to just over £87,000, a slight increase over 2022. The Foundation Trust continues to work on increasing all donations, particularly recurring monthly donations which are still below pre-pandemic levels. During the year, the Foundation Trust received two significant donations from key benefactors. - £23,333 from Johnnie Boden and Julian Granville for continuation of the World of Work (WoW) programme at West London Free School (WLFS). - £21,480 from a generous parent for the purpose of making a material difference for West London Free School pupils’ access to high quality ICT equipment, with a particular emphasis on pupils with additional needs or barriers to learning. The Foundation Trust was also pleased to arrange grants from John Lyons Charity of £8,200 direct to the three London primary schools and direct to the secondary school of £5,000 for a Y8 trip to the Old Vic theatre to see A Christmas Carol and subsequent in-school workshops. Gift Aid amounted to £21,274 which included collection of £16,347 for West London Free School for FY2021 and £4,927 for the primaries for FY2022. The Foundation Trust listens closely to the needs of each of the KST schools and steps in to meet costs which are not covered by their DfE grants. Each school has a designated “pot” of donations made for the benefit of that school: the standing orders and other donations by parents/carers are channelled towards opportunities for that school. In addition, the Foundation Trust supports the schools by making fund-raising applications where appropriate. In FY2023 restricted and unrestricted funding for the WLFS Secondary and Sixth Form school amounted to £133,455 and for the primaries £27,277. ## **How the Foundation Trust supports the schools** During FY2023 the Foundation Trust provided grants totalling £137,346 across the schools. The distribution of the grants is shown in a chart below, with headings for Sport (42%), Arts (14%), Life skills/Careers (23%), Library books/equipment (19%) and Educational Assistance (2%). Within **Sport and Arts (56%)** the co-curricular programme of clubs and activities offered by WLFS Secondary and Sixth form relies heavily on Foundation Trust support. This programme enables students to participate in a wide range of sports – including football, hockey, rounders, netball and cricket – by offering coaching, fixtures, venue hire and transport. As WLFS has no sports fields of its own, these last are significant budget items. Clubs and activities are immensely popular among WLFS students: this year, the Foundation Trust enabled them to cultivate their talents and enthusiasm in scores of different ways, including setting up rock bands, putting on shows, publishing zines, creating ceramics and digital art. At Primary School level, the Foundation Trust ensured that pupils from Kensington Primary Academy (KPA), West London Free School Primary (WLFSP), and Earl’s Court Free School Primary (ECFSP) attended Shakespeare workshops at the Globe theatre, with the support of the John Lyons Charity. In allocating over £72,000, or more than half, of the Foundation Trust’s spending to Sport and Arts – including two Art Scholarships - we recognise the importance of ensuring that all can join in, particularly students on Pupil Premium support. Young musicians in this demographic deserve help and we tailor our support accordingly: for example, this year we funded PPI students to join a choral trip to Germany and to receive rare instrument tuition. Page 2 ## **KNOWLEDGE SCHOOLS FOUNDATION TRUST** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023** ## **Life Skills/Careers (23%)** Students leaving secondary school need more than exam results alone: they need knowledge of their aptitudes, work experience and awareness of the best pathways to employment and training. The WLFS World of Work programme supplies all three, with a close focus on improving outcomes for disadvantaged students. The programme, now in its fifth year, includes psychometric testing, one-to-one career guidance interviews and work experience placements. To take Year 10 of WLFS as an example: 114 students out of 128 did in-person work experience placements in FY23, while 9 stayed at school to work on a school production, as part of which they did online work experience tasks, including the creation of social media marketing assets for the show. The programme lead, Alexis Allen, reports that “a meeting with career leads from other schools in the West London Partnership (Cardinal Vaughan, Putney High, Latymer and St Pauls) suggest that this record of near 100% work experience at Year 10, is exceptional”. The Foundation Trust was able to fund the 2023 World of Work programme (£31,370) thanks to the ongoing generosity of Johnnie Boden and Julian Granville. ## **Library books/equipment (19%)** The Foundation Trust spent £5,000 on books for the new library at Kensington Primary Academy (KPA) and provided a grant for leaving gifts of notebooks and pens to those pupils graduating from year 6 at KPA, West London Free School Primary and Earl's Court Free School Primary. Another £18,000 went on the installation of computers and screens to enable WLFS students to access information resources. ## **Educational Assistance (2%)** The Foundation Trust also supported educational assistance programmes including STEM trips and training for other areas not supported by DfE grants. **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **Expenses** Expenses remained under £3,000 as a policy to keep expenses low with the Trust having no employees. Page 3 ## **KNOWLEDGE SCHOOLS FOUNDATION TRUST** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Reserves policy** Total reserves held by the Foundation Trust at the year-end were £317,901 (2022 £298,252). £15,383 (2022 £21,760) were held in restricted funds and £302,518 (2022 £276,492) in unrestricted funds. The trustees have examined the Foundation Trust's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. At this time the trustees consider the reserves to be more than adequate. Free reserves at year end amounted to £302,518 (2022 £276,492). The results for the period are set out on page 7 and disclose that the trust's income was £160,732 (2022 £142,415) and expenditure was £141,083 (2022 £147,265). The charity made a surplus for the year of £19,649 (2022 deficit £4,850). ## **FUTURE PLANS** During 2023-2024 the Foundation Trust plans to continue to raise funds for enhancing the educational experience of the pupils attending the schools of Knowledge Schools Trust primarily through the collection of voluntary donations from parents and supporters of the school. The trust also plans to raise funds from outside donors and foundations. Funds raised will be utilised in making grants in line with its mission and in support of the total educational experience of the pupils in the participating schools within the Knowledge Schools Trust as decided by the Foundation Trust's board of directors. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing document** The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Mr T S Newman – Chair Page 5 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KNOWLEDGE SCHOOLS FOUNDATION TRUST** ## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Knowledge Schools Foundation Trust ('the Company')** I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2023. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
