Eternal Light Secondary School Report of the Trustees
For the year ended 31 August 2022
The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The charity's objectives are the advancement of education in Bradford as well as advancing the benefit and practise of the religion of Islam for the benefit of the public, by the furtherance of the schoold known as Eternal Light Secondary School, together with the connected property and assets. These objectives have continued throughout the year and remain unchanged,
## **Objectives and aims**
The trustees have considered the Charity Commision's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
The return to onsite learning was a welcome relief for all, but especially as we saw the completion of the much-needed extension and refurbishment.
Students and staff alike were excited to make use of the new facilities. The student council were back in action by organising a celebratory school BBQ and a trip to Alton Towers in September.
Other activities throughout the year included;
a football tournament at Speedball Sports Centre, a trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park to learn about animal habitats, a visit to the Science Media Museum to see the Wonder Lab Exhibition, a visit to Leeds Playhouse Theatre for English Literature GCSE students, a visit to Headingley Water Works to learn about water treatment, attending a courtroom workshop at the Business Law school at Manchester Metropolitan University, winning the AMS regional football tournament held at Harborough Town FC’s ground in Leicester, as well as graduating students attending various open days for information about apprenticeship and university opportunities.
Students also learnt about the impact covid has had on many families financially and chose to help our local Bradford Central Foodbank.
The return of external examinations saw students achieve fantastic results in their GCSE examinations, with 100% of students scoring Grade 4-9 in Mathematics, Combined Science: Trilogy, Citizenship, Religious Studies, and Urdu. Overall pass rate for students achieving 5 GCSE Grade 4+ was 98%.
The partnership with Wise Origin College saw students embark upon two Level 3 courses: NCFE Level 3 Diploma in Management Skills and Knowledge
NCFE CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Supporting Teaching and Learning
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves**
It is the policy of the charIty that group unrestrcited funds which have not been designated for a specific use be maintainted and grown. From this the trustees plan to undertake further capital projects to benefit the school.
It is the policy of the charity to review the general fund position with a view to create a separate designated fund for bursaries for talented pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. Unrestricted general reserves as at 31 August 2022 stood at £1,634,570 (2021: £1,512,584).
The trustees are satisfied with the performance of the charity during the year and the position at 31 August 2022 given the conditions created by the pandemic.. The trustees consider that the charity is in a strong position and are confirdent that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the future.
