THE GREEN DOME ACADEMY

Report of the Directors and Trustees for the year ended 31 May 2024

The Directors and Trustees of The Green Dome Academy (The GDA) are pleased to present their annual report and independently examined financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2024. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2005) and Accounting Standards Charities Act 2011.

Principle objectives and activities

The main objective of the organisation is to provide services that cater for the educational, cultural and socio-economic needs of Muslim women in the local community. It seeks to become an essential resource for women by:

Governance, Structure and Management

The GDA is a charitable company governed by its Articles of Association. After its incorporation in May 2011, The GDA achieved registered charity status later that year. Trustees of The GDA are also the Directors of the company and are responsible for the overall management of the charity and form the Governing Body of the school.

The Trustees meet at least once every school term where they review the Charity’s financial position, progress, issues and direction of the school. They are regularly consulted by the school’s senior leadership team for school related advice. New Trustees are briefed about their roles and responsibilities, attend mandatory child protection training and must satisfy DBS and security background checks as part of the induction process.

Risk management

Trustees routinely perform risk assessments to identify and manage key risks relevant to the charity, challenge and hold the senior leadership to account. They have updated and added to the wide range of policies and procedures in place. All staff and volunteers are provided with a staff handbook, which informs them of the school’s policies. This includes Health and Safety and Safeguarding policies. They are also required to complete child protection training and undergo DBS clearances before being appointed.

Achievements and performance

Staff and students have been extremely busy across all our schools. We would like to thank all our pupils, parents, staff and governors for their hard work and our well-wishers for their continued support. Here are some of the highlights of the year:

End of Key Stage 2 SATs Results (June 2023)

We are really pleased with the Year 6 children for their exceptional SATs results this year. The percentage of pupils who met the expected standard was as follows: Reading = 83%, Writing = 83%, Grammar, Punctation and Spelling = 91%, Maths = 75% and Science = 100%. These results are above the national average. Congratulations to all the pupils, parents and staff.

GCSE Results (August 2023)

We are really pleased with the girls for their excellent GCSE results for yet another year. They achieved 95% overall pass rate at grades 9-4. Congratulations to all the girls, their parents and staff for such a wonderful result.

iPads for Prep (Nov 2023)

We have procured 20 iPads for the primary school pupils which has had a positive impact on learning and results overall. The iPads have allowed learning to be tailored for all children. Children have shown more engagement and enthusiasm in learning. With the iPads, students have had immediate access to a vast array of books, articles, and educational resources which has encouraged more reading, broadening their exposure to different genres and topics. As a result, we hope to invest in iPads for the secondary school as well.

New Laptops (Jan 2024)

We have upgraded all of our school laptops in readiness for Windows 11 which is becoming decommissioned later this year. Some of our laptops are over 10 years old. The new laptops will enhance GCSE iMedia lessons both in the girls and boys school

because students will be able to benefit from the latest Adobe Photoshop full suite. Graphics design is a sought after skill in today’s world of digital and social media marketing.

Ramadan Fundraiser (March 2024)

We launched our online Ramadan fundraising campaign as we do every Ramadan. We managed to raise just over £4,000.

Financial Review

In this financial year, The GDA has had a deficit largely due to increased costs, specifically energy bills, rent and rates, salaries and general cost of resources. We have also invested heavily in IT equipment, replacing outdated hardware, upgrading software and modernising our technology resources. Our fees have been increased steadily and donations have been reducing given the cost of living impact. However, with continuing demand for services and support for the Charity, the financial outlook going forward into 2024/25 remains positive. We remain focused on managing costs, investing in data analytics and technology tools to help us make informed decisions to ensure sustainability. We continue to utilise digital and social media channels to promote the school and raise awareness.

Our recent examination results continue to be strong and coupled with the Ofsted report have helped maintain the high profile of the school, which we want to maintain and build on. The Trustees will continue working closely with the school senior leadership team and ensure the momentum is maintained to successfully deliver the future plans of The GDA.

Reserve Policy

The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds held by the charity should be between 3 to 6 months of the resources expended. At present, there are no restricted funds and the present free reserves exceed this target level.

Future plans

The charity aims to achieve the following:

  1. Look at ways to cut costs (possibly removing tuition fee discounts costing £50,000)

  2. Conducting a range of fundraising campaigns targeting £50,000

  3. Register new setting for 0-2 year olds

Trustees and their responsibilities

Charity trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of a charity. They may be known as trustees, directors, board members, governors or committee members.

The principles and main duties are the same in all cases. Trustees have and must accept, ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of a charity, and ensuring that it is solvent, well-run, and meeting the needs for which it has been set up.

Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities

The Companies Act 2006 requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the profit or loss of the charity for that period. The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity.

Small Company Provisions

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime.

Public Benefit Statement

The Trustees have considered the general guidance on public benefit issued by the Charities Commission and have taken due regard of that guidance. The Trustees consider that they are satisfied that the charity's activities do provide a public benefit.

On behalf of all Trustees

THE GREEN DOME ACADEMY

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of THE GREEN DOME ACADEMY

I report on the Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 May 2024 which are set out on pages 8 to 16.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) or under Regulation 10 (1) (a) to (c) of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (the 2006 Accounts Regulations) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity is required by company law to prepare accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

THE GREEN DOME ACADEMY

Financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2024

Notes to the Accounts

Note 1 Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with:

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

Note 2 Accounting policies

2.1 INCOME

Recognition of income These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; • it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition Grants and donations criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).

In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the Tax reclaims on donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that donations and gifts gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be Donated goods exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.

Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.

GrabSign 3313091f3c06cbe9aaec9588d992f2344572

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

Donated services and Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of facilities the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.

Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.

Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described Volunteer help in the trustees’ annual report.

2.2 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES

Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance and Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its support costs compliance with regulation and good practice.

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Deferred income

No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade Creditors discounts

The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph Basic financial 10.7 FRS102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, instruments FRS102 SORP.

2.3 ASSETS

Tangible fixed assets These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least for use by charity

They are valued at cost

The depreciation rates and methods used are disclosed in note 9.2.
