These classes are primarily focused on helping the children prepare for the 11+ Kent Test, which is the selection test for Grammar School places in Kent. During the school holidays, the length of the classes is increased. Children are selected for AIM based on income and academic suitability. Places are only awarded to children from low-income families. AIM classes seek to: **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the** - **public benefit in relation to** Familiarise the children with the process and requirements of the **these objects (include within** Kent Test - **this section the statutory** Raise the children’s educational aspirations and build their **declaration that trustees have** confidence - **had regard to the guidance** Consolidate and build on the learning environment alongside **issued by the Charity** others who are similarly able. **Commission on public benefit)** AIM also runs two motivational activities each academic year. This year the children have enjoyed two trips to an outdoor activity centre. This is deemed valuable in encouraging the children to thrive outside the classroom. AIM believes this to be particularly beneficial to groups of children whose development has been impacted by lockdown. - Familiarise the children with the process and requirements of the Kent Test - Raise the children’s educational aspirations and build their confidence - Consolidate and build on the learning environment alongside others who are similarly able. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** **AIM Achieve Inspire Motivate Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023** 3 You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: - policy on grantmaking; - policy programme related investment; - contribution made by volunteers.

It **achievements of the charity** then began tutoring sessions for the new 23/24 cohort in November 2023. **during the year** Longer sessions were run during the Easter, summer, and half term holidays. AIM supplied additional online learning support, giving the children access to Bond Online Tuition. AIM also provided some motivational activities as outlined above. AIM classes were attended by 30 children in the first 9 months of 2023. These children sat the Kent Test in September 2023. The new 23/24 classes were attended by 35 children in the last two months of the year. **AIM Achieve Inspire Motivate** **Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023** 5 ## **Section E Financial review** **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** The charity aims to secure sufficient funding each year through applying for grants and private donations to run the programme for the following year. The AIM financial year runs from January to December and this year covered three cohorts of beneficiaries. An adequate level of reserves is maintained to support three cohorts of children for the subsequent academic year. A new group of children is recruited in the autumn when sufficient funds are in place to run a full programme for them for the following year. ## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. Each year we hold two mock Kent tests as preparation for the final exam. AIM offers this to local children who are not on our programme and charges a modest fee. Over the last two years we have managed to increase the number of children benefiting from our programme, largely due to the success and scale of the mock exams we have held over the last three years. We ran this event successfully again in 2023 so we are in a position to recruit four groups of children for the 23/24 cohort. - The charity’s major expense is the cost of tutoring, which supports the children through the 11+ process and prepares them for the Kent test. Its other significant expenses are the funding of an administrator (who looks after the day to day running of the charity and is responsible for the charity’s fundraising activities) and the funding of motivational activities for the children as outlined above. ## **Section F Other optional information** ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** **Signature(s)** **AIM Achieve Inspire Motivate** **Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023** 6 |**Full name(s)**
