ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2023

Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation Charitable Incorporated Organisation Registered Number: 1155314

Trustees Annual Report 1[st] August 2022 – 31[st] July 2023

Welcome to Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation’s Trustees’ Annual Report, which sets out for our supporters and the general public what our charity has achieved in the past twelve months, and our future plans. This report outlines some key achievements and identifies areas for development in the coming year.

Introductory Matters

Aim and purposes

Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation is an educational charitable trust set up by Muslim mothers to provide an alternative holistic Islamic education for Muslim children. Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation (‘the Charity’) was entered on the Commission's Register of Charities on 2 December 2005 and is governed by a trust deed dated 23 November 2005 and amended on 12[th] May 2011. On 14[th] January 2014 a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation was registered. The two charities ran in parallel until 29[th] May 2015 when the charitable trust was dissolved. However, due to an administrative error the charitable trust remained on the Charity Commission’s register until 4[th] December 2015.

Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation is now a charitable incorporated organization, incorporated on 14[th] January 2014 with the registered charity number of 1155314.

Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation is a grassroots education initiative based in and around London. The foundation is the product of the dedicated efforts and sincere niyah (intention) of Muslim mothers. At the core of our work is a synthesis of Classical Islamic education and carefully selected modern educational strategies that are in line with Islamic principles of holism and character development embodied in the terms, Tarbiyah, T’alim and T’adib.

Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation runs two faith-based independent schools in Slough (Primary) and Haringey (through school from Nursery to Secondary KS3. This foundation also runs Tifly Daycare in Haringey. The Foundation is involved in the propagation of Islam in accordance with the four Sunni schools of thought; this includes research in philosophy and pedagogy of holistic Islamic education, dissemination of research and the production of curricula, within the theological framework of the four Sunni schools of thought. The Foundation also runs a programme of Islamic teacher education courses both online and in person. The Foundation provides other services to the community including various classes and community even

Public Benefit

Shakhsiyah Schools charge fees well below the market rate in order to provide parents from deprived communities the choice of an alternative holistic Islamic education for their children. The foundation also subsidises its teacher education courses to provide affordable continuous professional development to teachers.

Vision and Mission Statement

Our children are the future of our Deen and our community.

Our community will need leaders with a clear understanding of Islamic principles and doctrines; as we strive to maintain our Islam in the midst of confusion. Therefore, they will need the tarbiyah (Character education) that will enable them to become committed Muslims and committed citizens:

The role of Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation is to develop Shakhsiyah Islamiyah (personal Islamic character) in every child and adult we engage with.

History

In 1998 five Muslim mothers in West London and Slough organised a home-schooling group for their young children aged between 3-5 years old. The following year mothers from North and East London joined in. This was the starting point of Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation. As women from a huge variety of backgrounds, housewives, teachers and other professionals we engaged in a prolonged and thorough discussion of what we wanted to achieve. This discussion centred on the fundamental question which continues to guide our work: ‘What is Islamic education?’ We came to realise that the most valuable Islamic Education Model will not be a remedial solution to the problems faced by ‘minority’ communities. It will not add Islamic values and thought into existing contemporary models of education. This may be the easiest and most obvious way of proceeding, but it certainly will not lead to the desired outcomes we had set ourselves. The Islamic belief of the purpose of life is fundamentally in opposition to the secular belief. The secular education system therefore has fundamentally different goals to the Islamic education system. It is not sufficient to insert some Islamic aspects into secular systems. What is clear is that everything must be questioned, from the concept of school to the concept of the teacher and the curriculum and examined in light of Islamic educational principles of holism and character development.

We began to explore modern concepts and approaches to education along with the established Islamic principles. This has led to a synthesis of classical Islamic education with the modern approaches that reflect Islamic principles, resulting in a new and unique approach to primary education for Muslim children called ‘Shakhsiyah Education’.

ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2023

As an organisation led by Muslim women we have a nurturing organic ethos rooted in the needs of the local community. Our efforts are led by a sincere niyah and internal motivation as opposed to the dominant target driven ‘business’ culture. We believe strongly that this is a reflection of Islamic principles and seek to uphold this in our future development inshaAllah. Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation continues to engage in research and development by funding research into Halaqah as an Islamic pedagogy through a PhD in ‘Educational Research’ at the University of Cambridge. The findings of this PhD are being widely disseminated and influencing schools across the world.

Charity Activities and Achievements 2022-23

Principles of Shakhsiyah Education

Our ethos as an organisation is set out in a booklet that explains the principles of Shakhsiyah Education. This is an important resource for all staff and members of the public who wish to understand our educational theory. These principles guide the work of the schools and all other activities of the foundation.

Shakhsiyah Schools and Tifly Day Care

Shakhsiyah schools and Tifly Day Care continued their important work in educating young Muslim children with the educational philosophy of the principles of Shakhsiyah Education. The senior leadership team continues to lead the schools and work with staff and parents to provide education in line with the Shakhsiyah Principles. The following achievements have been recorded for this year:

In order to make space for introducing GCSE classes in Shakhsiyah School, London, the decision was made to close Tifly Day Care in London and the facility closed on 31st July 2023. This will allow the development of an all through school.

Shakhsiyah Teacher Education

Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation has taken ownership of the Islamic Educator Learning Community Platform (https://ielc.camtree.org/), which is a domain of the Cambridge Teacher Research Exchange (https://camtree.org/). This online platform will support the foundation’s work in relation to Object 3:” For the public benefit to advance the education of the public in the principles and practices of Holistic Islamic Education in general and the Shakhsiyah Education Framework in particular.” ISF has also licensed two online courses on using dialogic halaqah to develop shakhsiyah on the IELC platform from Cambridge Enterprise. Shakhsiyah Teacher Education will now operate through the IELC platform and new Shakhsiyah Education Consultancy Services. (See below)

Shakhsiyah Research and Resources

Shakhsiyah Research and Resources will be rebranded into Shakhsiyah Education Consultancy and Shakhsiyah Publications over the next year. New staff will be employed to develop this area.

Shakhsiyah Community and Shakhsiyah Youth

The foundation continues to work within the local community in order to meet our objectives. However, community and youth events are being tied in with the work of the schools going forward.

Future Plans for 2023-24

The foundation is seeking to do the following over the coming year:

Shakhsiyah Schools

  1. Reorganise space to offer stringer and perhaps expanded provision in Shakhsiyah School, Slough

  2. Continue to establish a strong secondary provision in Shakhsiyah School, London through applying to expand to Years 10-11 i.e. GCSE classes.

Shakhsiyah Research and Resources and Shakhsiyah Teacher Education

  1. Rebrand and build Shakhsiyah Education Consultancy through curricula publications and the IELC platform.

Shakhsiyah Community, Shakhsiyah Youth and Fundraising

  1. It has been decided to merge this with school activities to allow greater focus on other projects.

Concerns and Risks in the Present & Coming Year

  1. As the Cippenham Lodge fundraising campaign was not able to achieve its goal, the charity has to go through relevant processes in managing next steps.

  2. Building works are ongoing for Shakhsiyah School, Slough. There is a substantial cost which requires fundraising.

  3. Building Works for Shakhsiyah School, London are needed to meet the requirements for GCSE classes.

The charity has unrestricted reserves of £ 686,288 which trustees believe is sufficient to support the charity operations in near future.

Mustafa Ali Sadiq Scholarship Fund

In July 2014, the foundation’s trustees agreed to the launch of the Mustafa Ali Sadiq Scholarship fund in by the family of Mustafa Ali Sadiq. Mustafa was a student at Shakhsiyah schools who sadly died in June 2014 at the tender age of ten. His family is very grateful to the foundation for the support provided to them during this difficult year and to Shakhsiyah Schools in helping to develop a beautiful character in Mustafa, which enabled him to endure a terrible illness with patience and dignity. Thus, a pledge was made by the family to fund the education of another child in Mustafa’s memory as a sadaqah jaariyah for Mustafa, and a fund was created for anyone to donate to this cause. A scholarship was awarded to one child for the academic years 2014-15.

The scholarship fund is reported separately in the trial balance.

Scholarship Income:

July 2014: £5,331.53

Aug 2014 – July 2015: £3,525.25

Financial Review:

The charity's accounts for the 12 months period ending 31 July 2023 show an income of £1,322,352 and expenditure of £1,244,501. There was a significant decrease in donations to the charity as charity was focusing on the establishment of the new premises.

The major part of expenditure is spent on staff salaries. An amount of £671,928 was paid out as salaries for the school staff and training cost was £1,455. As the current buildings are rented rent, rates and service charges were £234,654 and the insurance and building maintenance amounted to £8,027.

A detailed break up of all the expenses is given under notes to the financial statements.

Principle Funding Sources

The charity is mainly funded through school fees. These are well below the market rate in order to maintain public benefit. A secondary income is through donations and funding from Local authorities.

Banking and Legal Details

The charity has a main income and expenditure bank account held at Barclays Bank, Wood Green Branch. The charity also has three further savings accounts, maintained to deposit donations (including scholarship donations), and held at Al Rayan Bank, Whitechapel branch.

The Saleemi Associates (Chartered Accountants & Statutory Auditor) of 792 Wickham Road, Croydon, CR0 8EA were appointed as auditors to carry out the audit of the financial statements.

ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2023

Reserves Policy

It is the charity’s policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to at least one month’s unrestricted payments, equivalent to £80,000, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of £686,288 held on unrestricted funds, at the yearend has met this requirement.

It is our policy to invest our funds balances on property or any low to moderate-risk investments. All the investment decisions have to be authorised by all the trustees.

Investments

The charity had no investments during the accounting period. Donations are kept in a savings account with Al Rayan bank.

Financial Challenges

The charity does not currently have the full funds necessary to purchase a school building outright, which means that substantial amounts are paid out in rent. Due to the organic growth of the schools, the rental and other Building costs continue to increase. Purchasing Cippenham Lodge or signing a new long-term lease continues to be the charity’s priority. The London School’s’ premises lease is expiring and needs to be renegotiated.

Future Plans

The charity needs to put together a long-term strategy to increase income and generate regular amounts through planned fundraising. The charity should consider investing any surplus funds to generate a profit. The charity will therefore need to develop an investment policy. The new EHT will be working with the Operations Team on diversifying income in the coming year.

Grants

The Charity does not issue grants but does assist parents by reducing fees in hardship cases. This is determined through assessing parents’ income and need. A scholarship linked to the charity has been set up in the name of Mustafa Ali Sadiq, to fund a small number of children to attend the school.

Trustees' responsibilities statement

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2023

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Islamic Shakhsiyah Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 July 2023 which comprise Statement of Financial Activities and Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude

- 9 -

ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2023

that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Based on our understanding of the Charity and its activities, we identified that the principle risk of non-compliance with law and regulations related to the Charities Act 2011, the Charities Statements of Recommended Practice, UK tax legislation, pensions legislation, employment regulation and health and safety regulation, anti-bribery, GDPR, corruption and fraud, money laundering and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements.

We evaluated the trustees’ and managements’ incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principle risk were related to manual journal entries to manipulate financial performance, management bias through judgements and assumptions is significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to use of restricted funds, and significant one off or unusual transactions.

ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION (continued)

Year ended 31 July 2023

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to those identified risks, including non-compliance with law and regulations (irregularities) and fraud that re material to the financial statements. Our audit procedure included but was not limited to:

Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with management. As with any audit, there remained a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose.

ISLAMIC SHAKHSIYAH FOUNDATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 July 2023

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 1[st] Floor 277 St Ann’s Road, London, N15 5RG.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

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.

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:

Land and buildings - 10% straight line Fixture and fittings - 25% reducing balance Equipment - 25% reducing balance

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 cash-generating 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.

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.

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.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

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.
