TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) for the year ended 31 August 2021. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Aims & Objectives** 

The objects of the Charity are, for the public benefit, to advance the education of pupils under the age of 19 enrolled in Academy schools run by the Ark Multi Academy Trust in such ways as the Charity Trustees think fit. 

## **Main activities for achieving objectives** 

The Trust carries out these objects by: 

- Offering intensive small group tuition to pupils in years 10-13 designated by Ark 

- schools as having ‘high pre-assessed ability’ to achieve outstanding GCSE and A Level results, with a view to gaining admission to elite and prestigious Universities in the United Kingdom and United States; 

- Awarding to such person’s scholarships, maintenance allowances or grants tenable 

- at any University, College or Institution of Higher of Further Education 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

The 2020/2021 year was adversely affected by the Pandemic. 

Tuition was interrupted and virtual learning was difficult given the accommodation of the pupils. Furthermore, the pupils have been disadvantaged by not sitting GCSE Public Examinations. 

However, the charity raised enough money in October and November to expand the programme to 14 pupils with 5 attending ARK Globe and 9 City of London Academy (Southwark)-COLAS- based in Bermondsey. 

Tuition via teachers employed by 'Enjoy Education' commenced in January 2021 at COLA-S and March 2021 at ARK Globe and has operated fairly smoothly despite the lockdowns. 

No physical residential exchanges could take place at Canford but a virtual one-day conference was held in June 2021 advising on preparing UCAS applications, interview technique and "emerging careers". This was attended by all 14 TTT pupils and was adjudged both helpful and very successful. 

Despite all the interruptions morale is high and tutors are hopeful that the A Levels will be successful when sat in June 2022

## TUTORING TO THRIVE 

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021 which are set out on pages 4 to 8. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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** 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts 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.
