The National Association of School-Based Teacher Trainers
Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 31 July 2025
Structure, governance and management
Organisational structure
The National Association of School-Based Teacher Trainers (NASBTT) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The entity was incorporated on 7 December 2017. It is governed by its memorandum and articles of association which were adopted on 7 December 2017. This replaced an earlier construct of NASBTT which was an unincorporated membership organisation. The assets of this earlier version of NASBTT were transferred to the new construct which was duly registered with the Charity Commission under charity number 1176171. Although the legal form of the organisation has changed the activities remain consistent with the previous entity.
Key Management
The Trustees consider that they, together with the CEO, Head of Operations, Member Relationships Manager and Communications Manager, comprise the key management of the charity in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day to day basis.
None of the Trustees receive remuneration in connection with their duties as Trustees.
Appointment of Trustees
The NASBTT Trustees ("the appointing body") may appoint further NASBTT Trustees. any appointment must be made at a meeting held accordingly to the ordinary practice of the appointing body and is for a standard term of three years. Any person who retires as a NASBTT by rotation or by giving notice to NASBTT is eligible for re-appointment.
Statement of trustee's responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these accounts the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting polices and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures
-
disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.
Risk management
The trustees have examined the major risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems are in
2

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

place to mitigate its exposure to those risk.
The principal risks indentified by the trustees are:
A failure to generate sufficient subscription income to cover the costs of running the programme of charitable events during the year. This is mitigated by the charity raising funds in advance and closely monitoring income.
The operating risk from low update of new programmes. This is mitigated through close involvement of trustees in the planning of such programmes and the ongoing review of such projects funded through the charity's charitable expenditure.
Objectives and activities
The primary object of the charity, as stated in its governing document, is the advancement of education of pupils/children in schools through the raising of standards and development of high quality learning and teaching by promoting programmes of initial training, education and professional development of teacher. It also aims to achieve the representation, support and development of schools-driven teacher training, facilitating co-operation and communication between member institutions and providing a forum for sharing information and evidence-based research.
NASBTT represents the interest of schools-led initial teacher training (ITT) provision in relation to the development, implementation and influencing of national policy to the extent this is permissible within the legal framework for a charity in England and Wales. It supports those with responsibility for the overall management of schools-led ITT Provision in schools and other institutions.
Public benefit
In setting the charity's objectives and planning its activities, the trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and performance
During 2024-2025, NASBTT continued to play a leading role in shaping the future of Initial Teacher Training (ITT), maintaining close relationships with ministers, officials at the Department for Education, Ofsted, UCET, the Chartered College of Teaching, the Institute for Apprenticeships, and the Teaching School Hubs Council. These partnerships have ensured that the voices of school-based providers remain central to policy discussions and that members' interests are represented at the highest levels.
The education landscape remained highly changeable as a new Labour government began to implement its education priorities. NASBTT worked constructively with the Department for Education to influence implementation plans for mentoring, accreditation, and apprenticeship policy, ensuring that reforms were workable and maintained quality across the ITT sector. We also contributed to consultations on the ITT toolkit, Ofsted reform, and broader teacher workforce strategy, positioning NASBTT as a trusted and influential sector voice.
Following nearly a decade of advocacy, NASBTT welcomed significant progress in the reform of teacher apprenticeships. Working closely with the Trailblazer Group, we helped to secure long-awaited changes that remove barriers to participation for providers and schools. Although work continues in areas such as subcontracting and regulatory alignment, this represents a major milestone in our policy influence and sector leadership.
Our Mentor Development Modules (MDMs) continued to underpin national mentor training, with 121 organisations participating in 2024-25 and over 12,800 mentors registered. While the DfE's decision to relax the 20-hour mentoring requirement reduced demand in some cases, member feedback remained extremely positive, and the resources continue to be viewed as sector-leading in both quality and accessibility.
Engagement with NASBTT's wider portfolio of resources and events remained strong. The Video Resource Bank was used by 55 organisations, and the Subject Development Resources reached 8,499 individuals, including trainees, mentors, and provider staff. Uptake of the Teacher Educator and Mentoring Zone (TEMZ) grew to over 20,000 users, reflecting the reach of NASBTT's professional community.
Member engagement reached 83%, with 149 of 180 members attending at least one NASBTT event during the year. Across the academic year, NASBTT delivered more than 30 days of professional development activity, including Espresso Shot networking events, specialist member workshops, and dedicated forums on areas such as SEND, apprenticeships, and quality assurance. The Annual Conference, attended by 133 delegates online, provided two days of sector-specific professional learning and networking.
In line with the Board's commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion, NASBTT responded to the NFER's 2025 report on ethnic disparities in access to ITT by committing to establish a cross-sector working group to support meaningful action and improved representation in teacher recruitment and training.
Overall, 2024-2025 was a year of adaptation, advocacy, and consolidation. NASBTT's influence in national policy discussions remains significant, and member engagement and satisfaction continue to reflect the charity's standing as the professional voice of school-based teacher training.

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 31 July 2025
Financial review
In the year ended 31 July 2025 the total income of NASBTT had increased by £73,608 to £719,154 (2024: £645,546). This is primarily due to an increase of £69,142 in income from Events and Services.
Expenditure has increased by £47,446 to £619,653 (2024: £572,207). This increase primarily relates to the increase in production and running costs of £53,063. Overall, the surplus for the year amounted to £99,501 (2024: surplus of £73,339). This leaves NASBTT with funds carried forward of £390,556 (2024: £291,055).
Reserves policy
The charity held free reserves of £390,556 at the balance sheet date. The trustees have put in place a formal working capital policy that is in line with the future strategic direction of the charity. The policy states that:
a minimum of £50,000 must be available as cash which is instantly accessible - met; there is an excess of £50,000 instantly accessible;
no more than £200,000 (and ideally not more than £85,000) will be held in cash in any single financial institution - during the year balances exceeded £200,000 at some points and therefore the policy was not fully complied with. the Trustees are aware of the financial position of the cash account and are taking steps to ensure the terms of the reserves policy are met in future.
through the normal course of board meetings and financial reporting, they will satisfy themselves that:
there is sufficient cash available to meet all immediate spending needs - the trustees are satisfied there is sufficient cash available to meet all immediate spending needs;
longer term organisational objectives are sufficiently budgeted and resourced, for example, projects, initiatives, changes in strategy or other spending that the charity is planning - the trustees are satisfied future projects have been sufficiently budgeted and resourced.
This policy will also be developed into a specific reserves policy as the charity continues to grow however for the current time - due to typically low levels of other current assets and liabilities - the charity believes it is reasonable to operate a working capital based policy.
The trustees deem that the charity had sufficient funds at 31 July 2025 to enable it to maintain its current level of charitable activities.
Plans for future periods
The trustees expect the work of the charity to continue to develop in the near future and are developing a strategic direction to ensure that the charitable aims of the organisation continue to be delivered.
The outcomes of the Market Review will impact finances and activities in the next two years and the trustees have plans in place to mitigate against any future losses to the charity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The National Association of School-Based Teacher Trainers
Year ended 31 July 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The National Association of School-Based Teacher Trainers ('the charity') for the year ended 31 July 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 July 2025
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is University of Northampton Innovation Centre, Green Street, Northampton, NN1 1SY.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern assumption is appropriate in preparing these accounts. The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these accounts. In making this assessment, they have given consideration to the impact of the risk to which the Association is exposed to.
The trustees have discussed the impact of cost inflation and potential future uncertainty with respect to budgeting within this environment. The charity has sufficient levels of cash reserves to meet existing commitments and have forecast that the residual cash reserves combined with the level of income from subscriptions and events will be sufficient to support the membership. Due to the relatively low amount of fixed costs, the charity is able to exercise a significant degree of control over its expenditure. The trustees will continue to keep income and expenditure under review. Whilst there will undoubtedly be challenges ahead, the trustees do not expect material concerns to arise over the charity's financial position.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The judgements and estimations that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows:
-
the allocation of general overheads and governance costs between charitable expenditure categories and the cost of raising funds;
-
estimates in respect to accrued expenditure; and
-
estimating future incomes and expenditure flows for the purposes of assessing going concern (see below).
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All income is recognised when the following three factors are met;
-
entitlement - control over the right to economic benefit has passed to the charity
-
probable - it is more likely than not that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity; and
-
measurement - when the monetary value of the income can be measured reliably.
Income comprises membership fees which are recognised when receivable, and fees for conferences, meetings and workshops recognised on the date of the event to which the income relates.

The National Association of School-Based Teacher Trainers
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 July 2025
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Resources expended
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to make a payment to a third party, it is probably that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure comprises direct costs and support costs. All expenses, including support costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure heading. The classification between activities is as follows:
-
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure associated with raising funds for the charity, this comprises chargeable staff time.
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs associated with furthering the charitable purposes of the charity through the provision of its charitable activities. Such costs include production and running costs, travel, administrative and marking costs
Support and governance costs
Support costs represent indirect charitable expenditure. In order to carry out the primary purposes of the charity it is necessary to provide support in the form of administrative procedures and accounting, these costs are shown as governance costs.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
