Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors' Report) (continued)

Structure, governance and management

Emmanuel School (Walsall) is constituted as limited company (registered number 6459251) which is a charity registered with the Charities Commission under the charity number 1138341.

Objectives and activities

Emmanuel School provides high quality Christian education from nursery to GCSE, and our vision is to see pupils who:

We have a close relationship with the Walsall Afro-Caribbean Community Association (who are our landlords) and students usually attend their lunch club several times a year to sing and perform for the clients but this was not possible this year due to Covid restrictions. The younger pupils enjoy the use of the community garden which is on site. We also play an active part in our local community by ensuring that students are involved in activities in local care homes and churches several times a year but again this was curtailed due to Covid restrictions.

Covid-19

School was able to re-open fully in September 2020 after the governmentlifted the restrictions on schools at the end of the previous academic year. During the Autumn term several students and staff were asked to isolate due to positive Covid tests or contacts but school was able to remain open and although activities were not able to carry on as normal we tried to maintain a wide range of activities. Isolating students were provided work via Google Classrooms as in the previous school year.

Due to government restrictions, school was closed to all students from January to March 2021 and work was provided on Google Classrooms as before. School was able to re-open to all students at the beginning of March 2021 although additional restrictions such as mask wearing, staggered start and finish times and reduced outside activities were in place for much of the school year.

As in the previous year, several members of staff were furloughed at points during the year due to school closures or inability to work due to self-isolation. We received financial support under the goverment's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to cover 80% of their wages which reduced to 70% of wages later in the year. Emmanuel School paid the remaining 20%-30% of their wages to ensure that furloughed staff were not disadvantaged.

We are again very grateful to all staff for their hard work during this difficult time and to the whole school community for their support.

We are hopeful that Covid-related impacts on the school in future years will be reduced in comparison to this year and we do not envisage any further lockdowns though we have contingency plans in place for a range of future scenarios.

Achievements and performance

Academic Results

During this period, we entered nine candidates for GCSE qualifications although as with last year the exams were subsequently cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic and grades were awarded on the basis of teacher assessment. Of the 74 grades awarded, 85% were at grades 4/C and above and 46% of grades were awarded at grade 7/A and above. Of the nine candidates, 89% achieved 5 results at grade 4/C and above.

Building

We continue in the same building as last year and we are not experiencing any issues with space with the number of students currently on roll.

Staffing

Staff were given a small pay rise in September 2020 to ensure that they continue to be paid in line with the National Minimum Wage regulations.

We applied for the government's KickStart scheme and were successful so we have been able to give 6 young people a six month paid placement in the school with the DWP paying their salaries. We also received £7,500 in start up fees in addition to salaries in this period. These placements have meant that we have had additional support in classrooms and in the office and have given these young people valuable work experience.

Financial review

As Emmanuel School (Walsall) is an independent school, we receive negligible state funding, and the running costs of the school are met by parental fees and donations. There was a small decrease in the number of pupils to around 78.

The fee structure remained the same as in the previous year but the fees were increased by an average of 6% on the 2019/20 levels. Fee support remains available on application to those on lower incomes and several families were supported again this year.

We again received donations from a number of sources and have maintained the number of individuals supporting us on a monthly basis.

We ran a special appeal over Christmas 2020 to raise funds for new IT equipment and were able to purchase 18 new Chromebooks for students, replace the school's WiFi system and purchase a new laptop for one of the joint Head teachers.

Plans for future periods

Some staff salaries will rise during 2021-22 to reflect the increase in the national living wage which comes into force in April 2022.

In line with regulations, qualifying staff will continue to contribute to their pensions at a rate of 5% of qualifying salary in the year ahead. In addition, the employer contribution will remain at 3% of qualifying salary.

We are looking into possible additional activities and revenue streams for the school and hope to develop these plans over the next few years although such investigations were again curtailed by Covid-19 this year.

W Conclusion

We thank God for His continued faithfulness to the school and for the many blessings we have experienced during this difficult year and we continue to seek His guidance for the future development of the school.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

Emmanuel School (Walsall)

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures & fittings - 25% straight line Equipment - 25% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Emmanuel School (Walsall)

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
