Achievements and Performance
Academic year 2021-22
THROUGH THE PANDEMIC
With Covid-19 going around in waves a�er waves and all the restric�ons surrounding it, we began the new term in September 2021 with significantly low student numbers. We managed face to face teaching with social distancing, mandatory face masks and hand sani�zing to restric�ng any parents entering the school building and other such SOPs.
We even managed to do an Eid party within classroom bubbles to keep the children happy during those very lonely �mes.
By summer 2022, Covid-19 numbers started to fall countrywide, and student numbers increased as a direct result of that. By the end of term in July 2022 we had double the number of students compared to the beginning of the year.
With social gatherings now allowed we celebrated this success with an End of year family picnic and award presenta�on day. That was a lot of fun a�er a very long �me!
OUR CHARITY WORK
managed to carry out our charity work for those in need, locally and abroad. We supplied food items weekly to The out reach community food bank. We sent Eid Gi�s to children in Syrian refugee camps, helped set up small businesses in Bangladesh, built tube wells in Islamabad, Pakistan and supported two families in Malaysia who lost their only bread winners due to Covid.
LEARNING CONTINUES
friendly and effec�ve learning environment to our students, every Saturday. We feel very privileged to be able to reach out and provide this essen�al service to the Muslim children and communi�es in Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire coun�es.
Financial Review
Al-Rayyan FY22 Accounts cover the period from 1[st] of August 2021 to 31[st] July 2022. All accounts are prepared on cash basis. This was the first year, a�er covid19, when children fully returned to the school. We saw an increase in student numbers and therefore Al-Rayyan’s Fees and dona�on increased significantly.
In FY22 total receipts were £26k up 51% YoY which is over the limit of very small chari�es. Chari�es commission requires all chari�es with over £25k to have an independent examina�on of the Accounts and therefore we had to engage Waleed Saleem for an independent financial review as required by the chari�es commission.
In FY22, school operated throughout the year at Bagshot Infant School which increased the expenses over prior year which was a covid year and school only operated par�ally on site in FY21. Total expenses of the school were 21.6k up 37% YoY, largest expense by far was the volunteer’s expense of £11.8k up 41% YoY. All teachers including the head teacher are volunteers who are paid for their commute to and from school and other incidental expenses incurred while teaching the children. Next big expense is the rent to the Bagshot school which amounted to £7.9k up 50% YoY.
Total excess of receipts over payment in FY22 was $4.5k which is the largest ever excess recorded by the school. Total Bank balance as at 31[st] of July was $12.7k
Based on the Receipt and Payment account and bank balance, the school is in a very strong financial posi�on with enough cash to cover for any con�ngencies or excep�onal circumstances for the size of the school opera�ons.
and have even be�er results next year.
