As the constitution of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), the ‘Hellenic School of Portsmouth’, states: the objective of the CIO is to advance education for the public benefit in the city of Portsmouth and surrounding area, in particular by establishing and operating a **Summary of the objects of the** supplementary school to teach the Greek language and the history, **charity set out in its governing** geography, culture and heritage of Greece and Cyprus. **document** The overall objective above reflects the achievements and purposes of the Hellenic School of Portsmouth in the past year, as well as those anticipated in the coming year. Indeed, this supplementary school was established in September 2017 and started operating from October 2017.
2 March **2012**
**TAR**
At the beginning of the school year we had difficulty in appointing new teachers and this delayed the start of the lessons by one half term. In October 2024, the HSP continued to operate with the two paid teachers who were appointed in October 2024. The school continued to operate on the premises of St. Jude’s Church of England primary School, located at St Nicholas St, Portsmouth PO1 2NZ. The school, at that point, had 22 students. The lessons were delivered every Saturday, across 4 groups, 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Teachers were the only adults present during lessons, however, at least one trustee was always on the premises **Summary of the main activities** – in a separate room but close at hand - in order to help in the event that **undertaken for the public** any emergency or unforeseen circumstance arose. Furthermore, one **benefit in relation to these** trustee was always at the playground during break times, so as to **objects (include within this** supervise children and allow teachers to also take a break from their **section the statutory** activities. Both teachers and two trustees completed a paediatric first aid **declaration that trustees have** course, and had relevant certificates. All trustees and teachers were DBS **had regard to the guidance** checked. The school is required by law to have insurance cover, and has **issued by the Charity** continued to conduct all necessary checks. **Commission on public benefit)**
Communication with parents during this period has happened in face-to-face meetings and electronically, via email or on social media. The teachers sent information to the parents of their groups weekly, regarding activities and homework for the following week. The syllabus delivered included teaching of Greek language and the history, geography, culture and heritage of Greece and Cyprus. Teachers prepared their own materials but also used the 1st and 2nd Grade Greek Language books used in school in Greece. They decided on what should be taught in class, as well as what should be given as homework, as appropriate.
## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)**
No grantmaking has taken place and the only volunteers active in the school were the trustees, who opened and closed the school, organised the classrooms before the arrival of the pupils and cleaned the used premises at the end of each school day.
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
● policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related
- investment;
● contribution made by volunteers.

Section D Achievements and performance
## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
a. The main achievements of the charity benefiting the pupils of the school are:
- All the pupils of the school have progressed and improved their knowledge of the Greek language and the history, geography, culture and heritage of Greece and Cyprus.
- With a primary focus on the Greek language, students in the advanced group can read and write and understand increasingly advanced levels of Greek grammar. Most pupils in the beginners’ group recognise all the letters of the Greek alphabet and their combinations and they can read and write several Greek words. Both teachers use the Greek language, almost exclusively, where appropriate. Lessons are always fun and interactive for all 4 groups.
- The Hellenic School of Portsmouth has helped all its pupils expand their vocabulary in Greek and given them many opportunities to speak Greek and interact with other children and the teacher using the Greek language. Finally, the Hellenic School of Portsmouth has also given its pupils the opportunity to learn and appreciate the Greek language, along with history and culture, giving them a greater appreciation for their background and multicultural identity as a whole.
b. The main achievements of the charity benefiting wider society are:
- Promotion of Greek culture in the multicultural local area.
- Giving an opportunity to the Greek community of the local areas to have access to an official school, and have their children taught Greek and about Greece in a formal setting by professionals.
- Establishing a good reputation for a supplementary school which will continue to teach the Greek language and the history, geography, culture and heritage of Greece and Cyprus to the current and future children of Portsmouth.
- Establishing a CIO serving Portsmouth and neighbouring areas with the view to expanding this to include further provision for more advanced levels, should the need arise.

**Section E Financial review**
**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves**
The charity’s aim is to have reserves approximately equal to, at least, 2 months’ operating costs, in unrestricted funds, in order to be able to cover advance payments (e.g. rent, insurance) and in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
As our main source of income is tuition fees paid by our pupil’s parents, we review our reserves at the end of each school year and adjust fees for the next school year accordingly, if there is a large deviation between reserves and our stated objective.
## **Details of any funds materially in deficit**
## **Further financial review details (Optional information)**
The charity’s principal and only source of funds has been and continues to be the tuition fees.
You **may choose** to include to be the tuition fees. additional information, where Expenditure supports the key objectives of the charity by ensuring that relevant about: our teachers invest in an enthusiastic organisation of classes and ● the charity’s principal occasional school celebrations to encourage the proliferation of the sources of funds (including any Greek language amongst the children and a sense of community fundraising); between their families. ● how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;
