Structure, governance and management

The charity is governed by its Articles of Association dated 14[th] July 2010 and is constituted as a company limited by guarantee.

The charity currently has five trustees, who are also Directors, and who are responsible for the overall management and control of the charity. The senior staff are responsible for running the school together with its teachers, assistant teachers, and volunteers whose purpose is to provide a Czech education to our children. The charity uses the services of a bookkeeper and a speech therapist. New trustees are appointed in accordance with the charity's governing document by ordinary resolution if the person is willing to act as a trustee/director. All trustees are appointed either annually at the AGM by the members, or in the course of the school year by the trustees. All parents and carers automatically become members. Trustees meet on a regular basis at least six times per academic year; the meetings are properly minuted. Urgent matters are dealt with via

normal communications channels (voice, video or written) and notarised as required.

The charity has adopted the following policies and procedures which are reviewed on a yearly basis:

Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy

Data Protection Policy Health and Safety Policy Financial Policy Equal Opportunity Policy Volunteer Policy Confidentiality Policy Conflict of Interest Policy Off Site Visits Policy Complaint Procedure Disciplinary Procedure Debit Card Policy Online Safety best Practice Policy Reserves Policy

The trustees identified the major risks to the school as follows:

The major risks are being reviewed on a regular basis by trustees, and systems and procedures have been established in order to manage those risks.

Financial Review

The Trustees regularly review the finances together with a half-term cash flow analysis as a part of the effective stewardship of the school.

Net Income for this financial year shows a deficit of £2,573. This is due to less funds received from the Czech Ministry of Education and less fees collected, both in comparison to the previous year. The trustees took a number of measures throughout the year to ensure the optimum financial result at the end of the financial year. Despite the reported deficit the school continues to operate (maintain current activities and training of staff) and support those families, in desperate financial need, to continue with the Czech education of their children at our school.

The organisation has a reserves policy which is reviewed on an annual basis. Cash reserves were £112K at 31/03/2024.

The charity is mainly funded from the fees collected from its members, approximately 60%. The rest is funded by the following grants:

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the Czech Republic London Borough of Islington

Public benefit statement

The school exists to provide further education for its pupils in Czech language, history and culture. The trustees have considered the Charity Commission's Guidance on public benefit and consider that they have fulfilled their duties in the light of that guidance.

Objectives and activities

Charity objectives are, as specified in the governing document, to advance education for the public benefit in the language, history, geography, art, culture and heritage of the Czech Republic.

The charity's key objective is to provide a quality education in the Czech language and to maintain and enhance the academic success of the school. The charity achieves its objectives through the energy and devotion of its trustees, senior staff, teachers, assistant teachers and volunteers.

Our volunteers form an important part of our school and thanks to the dedication of their own time our charity can flourish and develop. The trustees are volunteers who run the charity. We also have volunteers who assist in our classes, usually university graduates who want to gain experience living and working abroad, or who live in Britain and are interested in helping in our school. We have been lucky to find fantastic volunteers amongst our parents who run our library, music club, help with reading with our children and assist in other ways. By volunteering all volunteers receive professional experience which they can use to enhance their work record.

Our other objectives for the year included:

Achievements and performance

The Charity has an open and constructive relationship with its teachers, assistant teachers, volunteers and parents who are encouraged to actively contribute to school life. The trustees communicate with members mainly through senior staff and have at least two meetings with members a year including an AGM. The relationships with funders are strong and enduring.

The main school activities take place on Saturday for more than 190 students. The school provides an education from pre-school to Year 9 (the equivalent of Year 10 in the English education system). Traditionally, classes are conducted in-person at Tufnell Park Primary School in the London Borough of Islington, for years 6, 7, 8, and 9 there were lessons in person every other Saturday and lessons on line in between until July 2023. From the new school year in September 2023, all students resumed in-person classes every Saturday.

Our school also provides Wednesday language workshop classes on-line for those that miss out on a lesson. These lessons focus on the expansion of vocabulary and communication skills.

19 students attend regular individual online classes, either following the same curriculum or focusing on vocabulary and communication skills.

The school library is open every Saturday, each class takes turns in visiting the library and borrowing Czech books. Our fantastic librarians provide advice and encourage students to borrow new books. They also organize a fee book exchange three time a year for students and parents.

We are proud to have provided many other activities throughout our academic year 2023/24.

We motivate our students in many ways, taking part in local and international competitions. Our students took part in an international translation competition of English fiction to Czech language.

Our teachers also arranged cross border friendships with students from the Czech Republic, writing and receiving letters in the Czech and English languages, and exchanging experiences from both countries.

In December, we arranged for St Nicholas to join us personally and virtually in all classes. We also took part in “Krajane zpivaji koledy” (Countrymen sing carols).

These classes are designed for students who are unable to commute to the school premises but remain eager to learn about the Czech language and culture.

(14) 30. 9. 2023 Kavárna s rodiči (Coffee with parents): An informal meeting with parents, the committee, and the teachers was held. During this meeting, the committee and the school management outlined what the 2023/2024 school year will hold.

(17) 30. 10. 2023 Překladatelská soutěž (Translation competition): Children from the Czech School participated in an international translation competition organized by the ČŠBH association, which was attended by over 140 children from Europe, the USA, and Canada.

(25) 17. 2. 2024 Vědecká přednáška Pavly Hubálkové (Scientific Lecture by Pavla Hubálková): On February 17th, our school had the honour of hosting Pavla Hubálková, a renowned scientist, with an informative lecture about her latest research and professional journey.

(26) 20. 2. 2024 Mezinárodní den mateřského jazyka (MTSSP): Islington Mother Tongue and Supplementary School’s Partnership, along with Islington schools including Czech School Without Borders, London, celebrated the children's linguistic heritage on Tuesday, February 20th.

This school year 2022/23, Czech School Without Borders, London, provided an after school drama/art and cooking clubs at Tufnell Park Primary School for its British pupils.

We provide a robust and dynamic syllabus to our students. This is thanks to our excellent teachers and teaching assistants, brilliant parent/carer helpers and our dedicated management team. All the events detailed here, held over 2023/24, have helped us strengthen and maintain our parent/student relationships and continue to deliver our core objective: the teaching of the Czech language, culture and heritage to our local and internationally based families.

Plans for the future

The trustees of the school intend to continue the current strategy, with a focus on maintaining the quality of education while looking to improve the efficiency of the Charity. The trustees will also look to strengthen our relationships with our current grant providers to help ensure the financial position of the Charity.

The trustees will continue to develop strong relationships with other schools and organisations in the Borough of Islington, where the main school is based, and other Czech organizations in the UK.
