## **OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANISATION**

(b) advancing and coordinating academic and vocational excellence by providing specialist facilities for ballet training within the school premises; 

(c) promoting with the community as a whole opportunities to participate in dance for people of school going age who would otherwise normally be excluded by virtue of economic, social or cultural reasons; (d) providing bursaries and other forms of subsidy for pupils not able to afford to pay the full running costs of the school and of its dancing facilities; 

(e) fostering interest in and promoting knowledge of the subject of ballet and related arts for the better appreciation by and general benefit of the public as a whole (the school aims never to turn away a talented child); and

**TRUSTEES' REPORT for the year ended 31 August 2022** 

## **DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS** 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

While this was a challenging year for the organisation, the trustees are delighted to report record academic and vocational success for our young people. As the education sector emerged from the pandemic and its effects, the school was steadfast in delivering a high quality of education and preparing students for the first 'live' examinations since 2019. 

The Year 11 students' dedication and achievement were exceptional, building upon the huge success of the 2021 cohort. The 2022 graduates achieved excellent GCSE results, gaining 99% 9-4 (A*-C), 58% 9-7 (A**A); there was particular success in English Language, Biology, French and Music. All Year 11 students were able to graduate to their desired destinations, gaining places at world-leading performing arts schools - the Royal Ballet School, English National Ballet School, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Elmhurst Ballet School, Central School of Ballet and Laine Theatre Arts. 

Although challenges were presented in light of a challenging Ofsted report outcome following the fallout of the pandemic, the staff, SMT and board worked with speed and determination to ensure compliance was met and issues were rectified immediately. 

In other areas of the school, a new Head of Dance role was appointed to solidify the school’s position as an industry-leading dance training organisation; whilst students returned to live performance. Appearing with English National Ballet in Tamara Rojo’s new Raymonda, in West London School of Dance’s beloved The Nutcracker were highlights, alongside two evenings of music - showcasing the rich singing talent within the student body. The academic year closed with a triumphant end-of-year performance in June 2022. 

## **RISK POLICY AND MANAGEMENT** 

The Trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the charity. Risks are identified and assessed and controls are established throughout the year. A formal review of the charity's risk management process is undertaken on an annual basis, as well as an ongoing Risk Register, kept up to date by the SMT in collaboration with the board. 

The Trustees consider the principal risks to the charity to be: 

- the unpredictable nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the current cost of living crisis and the subsequent financial sustainability 

- inability to progress capital development (studios, upgraded, efficient building design and facilities) stagnates business growth – inability to grow organisation and develop programmes - school safety 

- student welfare 

Such procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure compliance with the latest requirements. Through the risk management processes established, the Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed. The major risks to which the charity is exposed as identified by the Trustees have been reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.

**YOUNG DANCERS CHARITABLE ACADEMY LIMITED** 

**TRUSTEES' REPORT for the year ended 31 August 2022** 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

Numerous bursaries are awarded to students according to their talent and financial means. The school operates out-reach programmes including an associates scheme which help identify talent in the community and bring it in to the full time school. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The charity incurred a deficit of £37,065 for the year ended 31 August 2022 (2021 - deficit of £31,303). This is after awarding £239,956 in bursaries to underprivileged and talented students (2021  - £270,356). 

## **Going concern** 

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular, the Trustees have considered the charity’s forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on fee income, particularly given the current cost of living crisis. A short-term funding gap has been generously covered by a one-off £100,000 donation received in March 2023. Costs continue to be carefully managed and the longer-term outlook remains financially viable. 

After making enquiries the Trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. As such, the charity expects to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due in the period of at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these accounts. 

On this basis, the Trustees have concluded that the charity is a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the charity not being able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

Total reserves, all of which were unrestricted funds, were in deficit by £34,558 (2021 - in surplus by £2,507). The charity had no free reserves at the year end (2021 - £643). 

The charity’s current minimum target, based on a risk assessment addressing possible income shortfalls and losses from depletion of student numbers or related income, extreme events, like the escalation of a global pandemic and other external factors to which the charity has little or no control, is £30,000. The charity is taking steps to bring the amount of reserves it holds into line with the target level and budget plans show that this should be possible by the end of the academic year 2024. 

## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE** 

The school intends to continue its successful policy of attracting and nurturing its young and talented dancers. In September 2023 the school will be expanding by gaining an additional floor within the current building which it operates. This will allow the school to have greater space for dance studios, more classrooms and contains the school in one premises eliminating the need for students and staff to cross a road.

**YOUNG DANCERS CHARITABLE ACADEMY LIMITED** 

**TRUSTEES' REPORT for the year ended 31 August 2022** 

The Associates programme has had a successful year and students will continue to perform with companies such as English National Ballet. 

One area of focus for the new academic year is promotion of the school and its successes. 

## **PREPARATION OF THE REPORT** 

This report has been prepared taking advantage of the small companies exemption of section 415A of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER** 

The independent examiner, Simon Erskine FCA FCIE DChA, has indicated his willingness to accept reappointment. 

This report was approved and authorised for issue by the Trustee on 22 May 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF YOUNG DANCERS CHARITABLE ACADEMY LIMITED** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Young Dancers Charitable Academy Limited for the year ended 31 August 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 17. 

This report is made solely to the Trustees, as a body, in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Trustees matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trustees for my independent examination work, for this report, or for the statement I have given below. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity 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 company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- •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).

**YOUNG DANCERS CHARITABLE ACADEMY LIMITED** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 August 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## _**(a) General information and basis of preparation of financial statements**_ 

Young Dancers Charitable Academy Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England; its registered office is as shown on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued in October 2019 (SORP 2019), FRS 102, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular, the Trustees have considered the charity’s forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on fee income, particularly in light of the impact of the cost of living crisis as explained in the Trustees’ Annual Report. After making enquiries including with its principal funder The Du Boisson Dance Foundation and with careful review of cashflow projections for the foreseeable future, the Trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.  These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## _**(b) Fund accounting**_ 

Unrestricted funds 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. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## _**(c) Income recognition**_ 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

10 



**YOUNG DANCERS CHARITABLE ACADEMY LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 August 2022** 

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP 2019. 

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. Until then it is deferred. 

In the year ended 31 August 2021 the charity received government grants in respect of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred. 

## **(d) Expenditure recognition** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings: 

- Cost of raising funds is self-explanatory; 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes all other costs. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. 

## **(e) Support costs and fundraising costs** 

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. 

Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. 

## _**(f) Tangible fixed assets**_ 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. 

11 



**YOUNG DANCERS CHARITABLE ACADEMY LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 August 2022** 

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: 

|Furniture and fixtures fittings|-|10  years|
|---|---|---|
|Office equipment|-|3 years|



## _**(g) Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year**_ 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. 

## _**(h) Employee benefits**_ 

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable. 

## _**(i) Tax**_ 

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. 

## _**(j) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**_ 

No judgements have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies and there are no key sources of estimation uncertainty.

The only restricted fund during the year was the Bursary fund which represents donations from charities to meet the cost of bursaries granted by the charity to some of its students. The income was £137,110 (2021 - £103,227) and the cost of bursaries was the same; however since bursary costs are treated as a reduction in school fees income the net income is Nil.
