TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The Trustees present their Annual report together with the audited financial statements of Partnership for Jewish Schools Limited (the Charity, the Charitable Company, PaJeS) for the year 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Since the Charity qualifies as a small company under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The objectives of PaJeS, as set out in its governing document, are:

• To support and enhance the Jewish school sector in the UK.

• To provide services, support and strategy to Jewish schools, including curriculum development, teacher training and leadership development.

• To foster collaboration and networking among Jewish schools and educational stakeholders.

PaJeS aims to make a difference in the Jewish education landscape by offering tailored support to Jewish schools, promoting excellence in teaching and learning and ensuring the preservation of Jewish values and ethos within Jewish schools. In developing its objectives and stratagems, the Trustees have taken into account the guidance provided by the Charity Commission on public benefit, including the guidance "Public benefit, running a charity (PB2)".

Up until 31 December 2021 PaJeS was part of the Jewish Leadership Council. On that date it transferred its assets and undertaking to the Jewish Schools Network which formally changed its name to Partnership for Jewish Schools Limited on 23 June 2022.

Previous to 31 December 2021 the Charity provided grants to the Jewish Leadership Council as its main activity. PaJeS now supports schools directly through its own activities.

Objectives and activities (continued)

e. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit

PaJeS' main activities to further its purposes for the public benefit include:

• Providing professional development opportunities for teachers and enhancing the quality of Jewish education; for example, through the annual Headteachers’ Conference.

• Developing and updating curricula to ensure the delivery of high-quality Jewish studies and Ivrit programmes such as Chumash (dedicated study and exploration of the Five Books of Moses and related commentaries), Parasha (the in-depth study and analysis of the weekly portion of the Torah), Tefillah (understanding the meaning and practices of daily prayer), and Torah Wellbeing & Me.

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Charity

PaJeS has achieved significant milestones and made a positive impact on the Jewish education sector which include the successful delivery of professional development programmes for teachers and school leaders, equipping them with essential skills and knowledge. This includes the Annual Headteachers Conference, training for school leaders, pastoral leaders, heads of Jewish studies and the PaJeS Wellbeing Project Leads. The Wellbeing Project Leads are now working to develop support for school leader's wellbeing. The focus will be both on the leaders themselves and on supporting governors to understand their role in staff wellbeing.

Some specific key achievements are set out below.

Wellbeing

Wellbeing support is now firmly embedded within the educational offering for Jewish schools, and it has become a vital element of the provision delivered to both students and staff.

To date, the PaJeS Wellbeing team has worked with 26 schools, supporting them in achieving the PaJeS Wellbeing Award. Each participating school now has a dedicated Wellbeing Lead, who collaborates with senior leadership to identify and implement wellbeing-focused changes. The programme respects the unique culture of each school, adapting its recommended criteria accordingly. Moving forward, PaJeS aims to support 10

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

additional schools each year, while continuing to review and support those already awarded.

PaJeS has also piloted short form-time wellbeing programmes in two secondary schools, with plans to expand delivery to others already registered for the Wellbeing Award. The team continues to supply tailored resources aligned with national campaigns such as Children’s Mental Health Week, covering student curriculum content, tools for staff, and information for parents.

The PaJeS Wellbeing website has launched and is available to all affiliated schools. It serves as a central hub offering guidance and tools to implement a whole-school approach to wellbeing. Schools applying for the Wellbeing Award can now submit their evidence via the platform.

In collaboration with the Jewish Leadership Council, PaJeS hosted a training day for Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSLs) from across the Jewish school network. This event facilitated the sharing of best practice, featured presentations from community organisations on referral pathways, and included CPD training from Trauma Informed Schools.

PaJeS also places a strong emphasis on engaging families. Over 1,000 families participated in virtual parent events, with many more accessing recordings after the sessions. Topics included ADHD and parent wellbeing, ante-adolescent development, and guidance for parents navigating transitions into Year 7 or out of Year 13.

Despite these efforts, a number of challenges persist. The rise in antisemitism, particularly following the traumatic events of 7 October 2023, has had a profound emotional and psychological impact on children and the wider community. This is compounded by growing staff burnout due to increasing pressure on school resources. Many schools lack the time, space, funding, and personnel to prioritise wellbeing in the face of academic demands. Additionally, heightened parental expectations and the lingering mental health effects of the postCOVID era have made the landscape even more complex.

One of the key concerns identified is the disconnect between school-based wellbeing initiatives and home support systems. While parents and carers are crucial allies in supporting student mental health, they often struggle to navigate the complexities of youth wellbeing. Schools, in turn, find it difficult to maintain consistent engagement from families, and the varying needs and schedules of parents demand a more flexible, accessible model of support.

In response, PaJeS is implementing a strategic dual approach. The Torah Wellbeing & Me initiative delivers key elements of resilience and emotional learning through weekly Parsha (weekly portion of the Torah)-based lessons, integrating wellbeing education within a Jewish values framework. Complementing this is a comprehensive parent programme designed to reinforce the school-home partnership. This includes termly online education sessions on parent-prioritised topics, the development of tailored resources, and the formation of parent support networks within each school.

The parent programme also strengthens communication between schools and families by supporting Wellbeing Leads in establishing clear, consistent messaging on mental health matters. Regular consultation with parents ensures that the programme remains responsive, culturally sensitive, and adaptable to the needs of each school community.

Through this comprehensive approach, PaJeS anticipates significant positive changes in how families engage with and support student wellbeing. Parents are expected to gain a deeper understanding of youth mental health, allowing them to offer more effective support at home and work more collaboratively with schools. A stronger and more consistent partnership between schools and families will help identify wellbeing concerns earlier and lead to more timely and appropriate interventions.

To ensure the success of the parent programme, PaJeS is tracking both quantitative and qualitative indicators. Engagement levels are monitored—building on current averages of 250–500 parent registrations per online

session. Parent understanding and confidence in addressing mental health will be regularly assessed through surveys and feedback forms. Long-term effectiveness will be measured through sustained parental involvement, improvements in communication between home and school, and tangible gains in student wellbeing.

By applying an iterative, data-informed approach, PaJeS will continuously refine the programme in response to community feedback and changing needs. This will ensure that the initiative remains dynamic, relevant, and impactful—supporting parents to become empowered advocates in their children's mental health and wellbeing journey.

Curriculum

The development and implementation of updated curricula in Jewish Studies and lvrit, ensuring the delivery of a relevant and engaging educational experience

The development and implementation of updated curricula in Jewish Studies and Ivrit remains a core focus for PaJeS, ensuring the delivery of relevant and engaging educational experiences across Jewish schools. Throughout the year, a wide range of training and CPD sessions have been delivered, including JTracks (the PaJeS antisemitism education programme in secondary schools) training, Chumash (dedicated study and exploration of the Five Books of Moses and related commentaries) training, and the Lifnai Vlifnim (a Jewish studies training programme) seminar for both primary and secondary school teachers.

December 2024 marked a significant milestone with PaJeS hosting the first-ever UK-wide conference for Heads of Jewish Studies. This pioneering event brought together leaders from over 30 primary and secondary schools and introduced M²’s groundbreaking framework 18×18 – The 18 Dimensions of Jewish Life. Participants explored the essential knowledge, values, and skills a Jewish person should possess, grounding their school’s vision in a shared language and structure. Attendees highly valued the opportunity to network and exchange ideas, with feedback now informing future Jewish Studies CPD provision.

In the same month, the Ivrit community benefitted from a dedicated full-day conference led by internationally renowned language education expert Dr. Gianfranco Conti. His presentation focused on the Extensive Processing4 Instruction (EPI) method, attended by 35 Ivrit teachers. Additional professional development included sessions on Modern Hebrew GCSE and A-Level preparation, voice coaching, and a three-part Hebrew grammar course.

Further progress includes curriculum development projects, such as updating and migrating Chumash (dedicated study and exploration of the Five Books of Moses and related commentaries) and Tefillah (understanding the meaning and practices of daily prayer) materials to the new PaJeS website, enhancing access and usability for schools. Curriculum advancement is also underway through the school improvement project, now in its implementation phase at Broughton Jewish Primary School.

In response to the events of 7 October 2023, PaJeS launched a dedicated section on its website to support schools with resources, alongside providing training for schools receiving new Israeli students and organising sessions for Israeli families arriving in the UK due to the war.

After two years of collaboration between PaJeS and key partners, the Hebrew Primary School in Gibraltar has been successfully established—offering exceptional Jewish and secular education to the community. A dedicated team, under expert guidance, has helped provide the Gibraltar community with not just a school delivering first-class education but also a structured and sustainable future. This includes a carefully developed curriculum, robust systems, and a strong code of conduct.

An outstanding leadership and teaching team has been recruited to shape the next generation. The children have embraced their new school and are thriving in an environment built on the values of courage, respect, and

kindness.

The JTracks initiative, a collaboration between Ignite and PaJeS, continues to enhance Jewish history and antisemitism education in seven secondary schools in London and Manchester. Each school has appointed a JTracks Lead – a staff member well-versed in the school’s ethos – to tailor Israel and antisemitism education in a contextually appropriate way. Leads have received ongoing training, including a December session focused on facilitating difficult conversations, led by Dr. Glenn Bezalel and Vadim Blumen. Mini-grants have enabled creative projects, such as JFS’s arts exhibition on reflections from its Poland trip, with plans underway to expand such initiatives across multiple schools.

School visits and one-to-one support for Heads of Jewish Studies remain a cornerstone of the PaJeS approach. Many Heads are also participants in the Jewish School Leadership Programme (JSLP), ensuring close integration with PaJeS’ education work.

International collaboration continues to enrich our work, with the Lira Winston Fellowship supporting fellows’ school visits in Boston during the Prizmah Conference. Visits to Maimonides School and Gan Academy inspired reflective discussions and bolstered leadership development.

The Chief Rabbi’s Schools Review (CRSR) Phase One Report has been widely circulated across stakeholders, highlighting the need for focused action. The next stage will prioritise: defining a unified vision for Jewish education; establishing a shared framework and outcomes; and addressing systemic challenges, including finance and infrastructure. Working groups are now being set up to advance these objectives.

Looking ahead, we are planning a professional development session with the National Library of Israel on innovative methods for integrating primary sources into Pesach lessons, and the launch of two new PaJeS Networks post-Pesach to further support Jewish educators.

The establishment and growth of collaborative networks among schools, enabling the sharing of best practices and fostering a culture of continuous improvement

Regular briefings continue to be provided for both primary and secondary Headteachers, delivered both online and in person. These sessions offer tailored support, including school visits and timely responses to questions and concerns raised by school leaders.

Governor workshops have been held termly, covering a wide range of relevant topics such as school leadership support, wellbeing, financial management, and the delivery of Jewish education in schools. In February 2024, 30 governors attended in-person training sessions with workshops focused on good governance and innovative approaches to governance. Feedback highlighted the value of face-to-face interaction, networking opportunities, and the clarity of presentations, particularly for those new to governance. In May 2024, 22 governors participated in the termly workshops held online. The sessions explored areas including the development of intentional pathways for Israel and antisemitism education, the community context post-October 7th 2023, and the role of Ivrit teaching in Jewish schools. Participants found the content highly relevant and appreciated the practical tools provided to support their responsibilities as governors. In July 2024, induction training was delivered via Zoom for 12 new governors. The session offered guidance and reassurance, reinforcing the ongoing support available to them in their roles.

Exit interviews were also conducted in the summer term with outgoing Chairs of Governors. The insights gained are being used to further enhance the support and services offered to governors.

The successful completion of leadership training programmes, empowering current and aspiring school leaders to enhance their leadership capabilities

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

The Jewish Schools' Leadership Programme (JSLP) has 40 middle and early senior leaders across both primary and secondary schools enrolled. This cohort participated in two full-day workshops led by leadership skills trainer Larry Shulman. In addition to these workshops, participants are engaging in facilitated small peer learning and coaching groups, with six to seven people in each group. These sessions offer an opportunity to reflect on workshop content, discuss current work challenges, and problem-solve together.

Thirty teachers and leaders enrolled in one of nine National Professional Qualification (NPQ) programmes delivered in collaboration with the Ambition Institute. PaJeS continues to work closely with the provider to ensure the needs of Jewish school participants are met .

New Headteachers were welcomed to a Meet and Greet session, introducing them to the services PaJeS offers to support their schools. Several new Heads also attended a Heads residential in April, with many participating in work discussion groups facilitated by Executive Coach Emil Jackson. End-of-year one-to-one meetings were held with all new Heads to assess their development needs for Year 2 of headship.

Looking ahead, seven new Heads across North and South London, Manchester, and Dublin will receive continued support. Initial one-to-one meetings have been held to identify their development needs.

Lira Winston Fellowship

The Lira Winston Fellowship, launched in partnership with The Pincus Fund for Jewish Education, is a flagship leadership initiative supporting Jewish school educators aspiring to headship or senior leadership roles. The Fellowship offers a personalised two-year development pathway, equipping participants with the skills, insight, and confidence to lead Jewish schools into the future.

This programme was established in memory of Lira Winston z”l, a much-loved and deeply admired member of the PaJeS senior team. Lira was passionate about nurturing leadership within Jewish education, and this Fellowship reflects her values and vision. We are enormously grateful to her son Ben Winston, the Winston family, and the management committee of the programme for their generosity and foresight in initiating this transformative opportunity.

The inaugural cohort of 14 Fellows began their journey with a residential seminar in May 2024. Their development has included school visits in Boston during the Prizmah Conference, where they engaged in reflective discussions and gained valuable international perspectives. The Fellowship is already making a meaningful impact, and we look forward to seeing its long-term contribution to the strength and sustainability of Jewish school leadership.

The active engagement with government bodies and educational authorities to advocate for the interests and unique needs of Jewish schools

PaJeS' public affairs work continues to pick up on key issues and hold regular meetings with stakeholders.

Ministerial Meetings

PaJeS actively engaged with government leaders to address key issues affecting Jewish education. Members of the PaJeS leadership team met with both the Secretary of State for Education and the Shadow Secretary of State for Education to discuss matters of concern. One critical area of focus was the troubling rise in antisemitism, with ongoing discussions about the need for stronger support for faith schools from both major political parties.

PaJeS representatives met with civil servants at various levels to explore the impact of the Children and Wellbeing Bill in detail. PaJeS briefing notes and findings were shared with MPs more widely, including

Page 8

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

discussions with education PPSs and Mark Ferguson. As part of this, we worked to meet with MPs whose constituencies included Jewish schools to coordinate messaging and strengthen advocacy efforts. Meetings with the schools' ministers were also scheduled for later in the year to continue these important conversations.

Additionally, PaJeS representatives continued to meet with Regional Schools Commissioners, focusing on issues that were particularly relevant to the unique needs of Jewish communities.

Ofsted

Our Headteachers’ views were shared with Ofsted (where the CEO Rabbi David Meyer OBE is a non-executive director) as to the impact of Ofsted’s consultation to implement inspection changes. We continue to chair the joint DfE/Ofsted meeting and have been using this to explore the challenges for independent schools moving into the state sector. A significant accomplishment in 2024 was the agreement of Ofsted to progress a proposal that will require schools to list antisemitic activity separately which will trigger an inspection into antisemitism at that school.

b. Key performance indicators

• The number of teachers and school leaders participating in professional development programmes.

• The number of governors participating in professional development programmes.

• The number of schools benefiting from curriculum development and support.

• The engagement and participation levels in collaborative networks and forums.

• The number of school leaders trained and supported through leadership programmes.

• Success in advocating for the interests of Jewish schools at the government and educational levels.

c. Review of activities

The activities undertaken by PaJeS have been in line with their objectives and have demonstrated progress towards achieving them. Through a balanced review of its activities, PaJeS continues to adapt and improve its offerings to meet the evolving needs of Jewish schools. The commitment to collaboration, innovation and excellence has been reflected in the positive outcomes of its work.

As the activities of PaJeS demonstrate, it continues to deliver a high quality and professional service to Jewish schools. Through the delivery of these services, it has ensured that its key objectives are met.

Page 9

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Achievements and performance (continued)

d. Factors relevant to achieving objectives

Several factors have influenced the achievement of PaJeS' objectives. These include:

• Positive factors such as strong partnerships with Jewish schools, engagement with stakeholders, and effective collaborations.

• Negative factors such as external challenges related to funding, changing educational policies, and the long term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on children's progress.

• The deeply troubling events of 7th October 2023 and the ensuing increase in antisemitism has had a significant impact on the Jewish schools community and required the adaptation of our support to address these challenges.

PaJeS' response to these factors includes proactive engagement with government bodies, ongoing communication with Jewish schools and continuous adaptation of services and programmes to address emerging needs.

e. Fundraising activities and income generation

PaJeS engages in fundraising activities to support its operations and initiatives. It manages its own fundraising activities and does not employ a professional fundraiser. These activities include seeking donations, grants and sponsorships from individuals, foundations and other organisations. Regular communications are maintained, as necessary, with donors. The income generated through fundraising enables PaJeS to deliver its services and provide support to Jewish schools effectively.

f. Investment policy and performance

Any cash resources are held in short-term deposit accounts. PaJeS does not have any investments.

Financial review

a. Going concern

The Trustees consider PaJeS to be a going concern based on the organisation's financial position on 31 December 2024 and its future funding opportunities to deliver its stratem for developing and growing its services. The Trustees are confident in the Charity's ability to continue its operations in the foreseeable future as a going concern.

b. Reserves policy

Reserves are held to ensure the financial stability of the organisation, support ongoing activities and enable future growth. The Trustees review and assess reserves to align with the Charity's strategic goals and anticipated future needs.

c. Material investments policy

The Charity does not hold any material investments.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

d. Principal risks and uncertainties

PaJeS acknowledges various risks and uncertainties that could affect its operations and the achievement of its objectives. These risks include financial, regulatory, reputational, and operational factors. The Trustees have implemented risk management stratagems to mitigate these risks.

The Trustees have identified the following key risks:

• Insufficient donations and other income generating sources to enable PaJeS to deliver against its objectives and its programmes.

• Retention of high caliber staff and consultants to deliver its programmes.

• Government and environment policy that impacts on the operation of PaJeS.

• Negative media coverage could damage the Charity’s reputation, leading to a loss of donor support and public trust.

• Safeguarding failures could lead to harm of beneficiaries, legal action, and severe reputational damage.

• A cybersecurity breach could lead to loss of sensitive data, financial loss, and disruption of operations.

• A contract risk exists with a key funder that has a short notice period and onerous terms and conditions.

e. Financial risk management objectives and policies

PaJeS maintains financial risk management objectives and policies to ensure the prudent management of its financial resources. These policies include the diversification of funding sources and regular financial reporting and monitoring including regular finance committee meetings.

f. Principal funding

The principal funding sources for PaJeS include donations, grants, sponsorships and income generated through fundraising activities. These resources support the key objectives of the Charity, enabling the delivery of services and support to Jewish schools effectively.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The Charity was incorporated on 9 September 2015 in England and Wales under Company Registration Number 09768676, and was registered with the Charity Commission on 26 July 2016, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, under Charity Registration Number 1168444.

The Trustees in office in the year were as follows:

Sarah Anticoni (resigned 31st October 2024) Dov Black (Chair) David Bloom (resigned 1 March 2024) Daniel Lichtenstein (resigned 31st October 2024) Susan Nyman (Treasurer) Susan Stone (resigned 31st October 2024) Anthony Wagerman

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

The power of appointing new Trustees is exercised by the Board of Trustees. When Trustees join the Board, depending on their experience they receive an introduction into the activities of PaJeS which is developed in accordance with the role that it is intended that they play on the board. In the future a training session on governance, Charity law and Trustees' responsibilities is planned for the Board.

Decision-making is guided by the Trustees' collective expertise and the Charity's governing document.

c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

PaJeS, as an educational charity committed to enhancing the quality of Jewish education, has a well-defined hierarchy of staff together with a committee structure comprising trustees, employees and consultants as appropriate.

The Board of Trustees comprises dedicated individuals with diverse expertise, responsible for safeguarding the Charity's purpose. Trustees collectively hold the ultimate decision-making authority. The Board meets on a regular basis.

To efficiently manage the Charity's financial resources through maintaining robust accounting and management information systems PaJeS has a dedicated Finance Committee which meets regularly. This committee focuses on financial oversight and planning and resource allocation to ensure the sustainability of PaJeS' educational initiatives.

Rabbi David Meyer OBE, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) serves as the executive leader responsible for dayto-day operations and executing the strategic vision set by the Trustees. The CEO plays a crucial role in liaising with senior leadership and ensuring that the organisation's goals are met. PaJeS' senior leadership team (SLT) comprises of the assistant director responsible for public affairs, the assistant director responsible for education and the project lead for the leadership programs. A Head of Finance and Operations was appointed and joined PaJeS in October 2023 to strengthen both these areas for PaJeS and is also a member of the SLT.

The SLT plays a crucial role in translating the strategic decisions made by the Trustees and committees into actionable plans and ensuring the successful delivery of projects. The SLT acts as a bridge between the highlevel vision and the day-to-day operations of the organisation. They facilitate effective communication and coordination, making certain that educational initiatives are implemented with precision. This process involves

Page 12

Structure, governance and management (continued)

passing down decisions, guidelines, and objectives to the education team and the operations staff.

Through this collaborative approach, PaJeS ensures that its mission to enhance the quality of Jewish education is not only defined at the highest level but is also effectively translated into tangible outcomes at every operational level while maintaining financial sustainability and regulatory compliance.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) 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).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.

• observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

• make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Disclosure of information to auditors

Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' report is approved has confirmed that:

• so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Charity's auditors are unaware, and

• that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Charity's auditors are aware of that information.

Auditors

The auditors, BKL Audit LLP, have indicated their willingness to continue in office. The designated trustees will propose a motion reappointing the auditors at a meeting of the trustees.

Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PARTNERSHIP FOR JEWISH SCHOOLS LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Partnership For Jewish Schools Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 charitable company'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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PARTNERSHIP FOR JEWISH SCHOOLS LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude 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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the information given in the Trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or

• sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 charitable company'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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 18

PARTNERSHIP FOR JEWISH SCHOOLS LIMITED

(A company limited by guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PARTNERSHIP FOR JEWISH SCHOOLS LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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 Auditors' 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

• Enquiring of management around actual and potential litigation and claims;

• Reviewing board meeting minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;

• Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

• Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates of bias

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the charitable company's internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditors' report.

Page 19

PARTNERSHIP FOR JEWISH SCHOOLS LIMITED

(A company limited by guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF PARTNERSHIP FOR JEWISH SCHOOLS LIMITED (CONTINUED)

• However, future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1. General information

The Partnership for Jewish Schools is an incorporated charity that was incorporated on 9th September 2015. This was registered on the charity commission on 26th July 2016.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Partnership For Jewish Schools Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Page 25

PARTNERSHIP FOR JEWISH SCHOOLS LIMITED

(A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure (continued)

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.5 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £250 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Office equipment - 33% Straight line Computer equipment - 33% Straight line

2.7 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.8 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Page 26

PARTNERSHIP FOR JEWISH SCHOOLS LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.9 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.10 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.11 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
