The company is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission under registration number 1181301 and in Scotland under registration number SC049398.
Organisational Structure
The Trust is a part of an international education initiative linked with the worldwide Christian fellowship known as the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church, and is specifically responsible for providing educational, operational and financial support to 24 schools in the UK. Overall direction and control of the Trust is exercised by the Board of Trustees. The Trustees work in close co-operation with the other entities participating in the international initiative working on the strategy and standards for education provided by members of the initiative worldwide.
We are made up of 3,020 students. Within these we have:
-
956 pupils at Key Stages 1 to 2.
-
1,323 pupils at Key Stages 3 to 4.
-
741 at Key Stage 5.
The schools supported by the Trust whilst part of the one entity hold direct engagement for the education in their schools, co-operating extremely well with each other and the Board of Trustees to operate as one education system of schools. A considerable number of experienced volunteers work along with their colleagues in other parts of the world, on special subjects such as the curriculum and teaching and learning methodology. The Trust also provides a regional support office in Warwick where it employs a team of professionals, specialists and administration staff to carry out a wide variety of duties to enhance the provision of education in the schools.
The Trust is also responsible for providing a central passenger transport service for getting children to and from school. The Trust has a separate subsidiary company, known as Onebus Ltd. The service is operated from an office in Grimsby and in the period under review a full service of 279 minibuses was implemented.
The Trust set up a wholly owned subsidiary in June 2021, OneSchool Global CAP Ltd to hold and administer funds on behalf of the Careers Advancement Program run by the Trust. In addition the Trust set up a wholly owned subsidiary in November 2022, OneSchool Global Academy Trust to engage with the DfE to consider Multi Academy Trust applications.
Trustees, their induction and training
New appointments are made when necessary by the existing Trustees in accordance with the Trust Memorandum and Articles. Trustees are drawn from the Brethren community and the Trustees endeavour to recruit new Trustees who have the skills and experience they feel would be beneficial to the Trust and in particular aim to recruit new Trustees who have experience in the educational field. They are inducted into the requirements and operation of the Trust by fellow Trustees and through appropriate external training courses.
Key management personnel remuneration
The Trustees seek to ensure that overall salary and remuneration packages retain a balance of competitiveness and attractiveness whilst ensuring that the required professional skills are brought within the Trust to support its activities. As such staff posts are benchmarked against like posts in similar organisations against a range of salary and remuneration packages and reflected in the remuneration provided overall.

Structure, Governance and Management (continued)
Equal opportunities policy
The Trustees recognise that equal opportunities must be an integral part of good practice within the workplace. The Trust has established equal opportunity in all areas of its activities, including creating a working environment in which the contribution and needs of all people are fully valued. Development works to Trust buildings to improve staff and student accessibility are carried out where identified such as lifts, ramps, toilets and door access to enable wheelchair access to all main areas of the buildings where possible. The policy of the Trust is to support the employment of disabled persons both in recruitment and by retention of employees who become disabled whilst in its employment as well as generally through training and career development.
Engagement with employees
The Trust conducts regular staff engagement surveys. Some key themes were identified, and work continues around key areas of improvement going forward. The Trust also encourages staff contribution and close collaboration at all levels to share knowledge and best practice. Furthermore, the Trust provides internal and external professional development support. Good progress has been made in this area in relation to teaching staff development, training and succession planning. Support staff training and development will be an area of focus in 2023. In terms of recruitment, all new staff are inducted, and teachers take part in training before the start and during the school year.
Premises
Throughout the year the Trust operated from the headquarters in Warwick and the additional space has facilitated its functions being carried out more effectively, especially in the provision of training and development days. A part of the premises is occupied by UBT (EU) Ltd.
Objects
The charitable objects of the Trust are the advancement of the education of children and young people. The objects also include any other charitable purpose for the benefit of the worldwide Christian fellowship known as the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church.
Aims
The Trust’s primary aim is to ensure that an excellent education is provided for boys and girls in the schools that it supports and oversees. Each school operates under a common Ethos: Students are encouraged to develop their full potential and acquire the discipline of learning how to learn, while upholding Christian teachings and beliefs. The truth and authority of the Holy Bible and strong family values underpin the commitment of the School to provide quality in every facet of education – curriculum, teachers, facilities, management and discipline - in a safe and caring environment. The schools are committed to providing an education consistent with Christian principles, expecting the conduct of pupils and staff consistently to reflect Biblical values and the specific values of the school, which include:
-
Integrity – uprightness, honesty and decorous conduct, governed by the Holy Bible;
-
Care & Compassion – kindness, consideration and generosity to all;
-
Respect – for all people, property, opinions and authority;
-
Responsibility – for our actions, progress and environment;
-
Commitment – to self-discipline and the pursuit of excellence.
Pupils who attend the schools are expected to act in accordance with the doctrines and practices of the Brethren, but there is no other academic or financial selection process for admission to the schools and the schools accept pupils regardless of their ability or the financial means of their parents.
The curriculum taught at the schools is designed to provide opportunities for pupils of varied abilities and interests. The subjects offered are in line with relevant national standards and cover key learning areas. There is an increasing focus on encouraging and developing self-directed learning principles with students. The aim is to provide a broad and balanced curriculum which promotes personal development and prepares students for increasing independence and responsibility.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Future Plans
We intend to continue to provide a quality and deliver a consistent and high level of educational experience and outcome for all students and staff, in accordance with the Trust's ethos and values.
Over the next year, we will continue to utilise our reserves as appropriate to invest in school improvement and manage our risks e.g. higher energy costs. We fully expect our reserves to reduce over the coming year as we plan to make targeted investment in areas of focus such as attendance, behaviour, SEND, inclusion, literacy, curriculum development, great people and fit for purpose technology and facilities.
Our reserves policy has recently been amended to allow targeted investments in making a difference to those schools and into Trust-wide initiatives that will make the biggest difference. We are starting to realise the benefits of our central investment in teaching and learning and expect to increase investment in this area over the coming years. While these initiatives are decided centrally they are made with a children first mindset and the results will be seen both in and outside the classroom.
Last but not least, our people really are our greatest asset – our people and our values are what makes the Trust a special organisation to be part of. We wish to attract, recruit and retain the best staff and we will be investing in staff wellbeing, training and development over the coming years.
Going Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust 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 financial statements.
The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern, providing the external funding is received in line with expectations.
Risk Management
A review of the Trust’s risk management processes is undertaken using risk management software. This enables overview of both strategic risk management centrally and overview of the risks held at each campus. Risks covering areas such as financial sustainability, school safety, student welfare, employment, school trips and events and community access are reviewed on a school term timely basis and mitigated accordingly within the Trust’s risk appetite.
The Trustees are responsible for the overseeing of the risks faced by the Trust. Detailed considerations of risk are delegated to the Board and the Risk and Audit Committee. Risks are identified, assessed and controls established throughout the year.
The main risks that the Trustees have identified and the plans to manage those risks are:
-
Reputation. The Trust’s success is built on its reputation for the education and well-being of our students. We manage this risk through safeguarding policies, staff recruitment policies, pastoral support for both students and staff and active identification and resolution of health and safety related issues.
-
Money. The majority of the charity’s income is received from donations. Should there be significant reductions in this income, the Trustees would raise funds from other sources and in the unlikely event that they were insufficient, the Trustees consider they have the ability to cut expenditure in line with the reduced income.
-
Curriculum. Academic excellence requires the most able teachers with state of the art facilities delivering the curriculum to able students. We manage this by combining attractive salaries with on-going investment in our professional development support, our estate and IT infrastructure and an approach that recognises student achievement and aptitude.
-
Compliance. The Trust fully recognises its regulatory and statutory responsibilities and continues to invest in its delivery against the highest standards. This is achieved by external and internal investment in professional advice, training and support and the use of reporting and review policies and procedures.
-
Cyber. A significant amount of the Trust’s investment is put into the proactive management of cyber risk by continuing improvements around systems, technology and training. Privacy risks are reviewed and managed by qualified personnel to ensure they are responded to appropriately

TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Risk Management (continued)
Through the risk management processes the Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
Fundraising
The main sources of fundraising income were grants from the Grace Trust and NAF and donations from businesses and individuals. Successful fundraising is critical to the sustained financial health of the Trust. The Trust is grateful for the support shown to its work by all those who funded it during 2023. Our thanks go to the Grace Trust and NAF, whose funding has been critical to us. We are also extremely grateful to all of those that have supported the Trust during 2022.
As part of the Trust's commitment to the highest possible standards of fundraising, we took steps to ensure that all our activities were compliant with legislative, regulatory and best practice standards. During 2022, all our interactions with the general public were carried out by our employees and volunteers.
The OSGUK fundraising teams organise fundraising events and co-ordinate the activities of our supporters both in the schools and in the wider community on behalf of OSGUK and wider charities. OSGUK does not use professional fundraisers or involve commercial participators. OSGUK seeks to comply with all the relevant standards set out by the Fundraising Regulator in their Code of Fundraising Practice.
As a policy we seek to responded to all complaints within 10 days. Most serious complaints are escalated to Trustees so they can consider lessons learnt. There have been no complaints about fundraising activity this year.
Over the period, we also continued to undertake significant efforts to ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into effect in May 2018. We remain entirely committed to protecting personal information of our supporters and beneficiaries. This work will continue during 2023 and beyond.
Financial Review
Results and state of affairs
Income, including restricted funds, was £47,957,561 (2021: £40,789,945). The majority of the income received was from The Grace Trust to support the educational aims of the charity.
Income received in the year was utilised to support staff salaries and professional development; student curriculum and student transport costs; normal school property rental and upkeep costs; educational visits or attendance at conferences; general governance and school administrative support costs. The cost of delivering services within schools during the year was £46,144,649 (2021: £39,659,497).
At 31 December 2022 total funds were £14,843,577 (2021: £13,030,665). The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities is set out on page 16.
The Group recorded a surplus for the year from unrestricted operations of £1,783,176 (2021: £1,070,269) and at 31 December 2022 had net current assets of £6,485,824 (2021: £5,381,578). For the reasons set out on page 8, the Trustees consider that it is appropriate to draw up the financial statements on the going concern basis.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees have reviewed the financial statements of the Trust. The review encompassed the nature of income and expenditure streams, the need to match them with commitments and the nature of reserves.
Reserves are held as follows:
-
as a contingency to meet unforeseen expenditure (forming part of restricted and unrestricted general funds) e.g. an unexpected large repair bill.
-
to cover a fall or rise in sources of income e.g. non-renewal of a grant.
-
planned commitments, or designations, that cannot be met by future income alone, e.g. plans for a major asset
9
ONESCHOOL GLOBAL UK
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Reserves Policy (continued)
-
purchase or a significant project that requires the charity to provide ‘matched funding’; and
-
the need to fund potential deficits in a cash budget, for example money may need to be spent before funding is raised or received.
The level of reserves is kept under review by the Trustees, and they assess them in relation to these purposes. Free reserves are represented by the unrestricted funds balance as at 31 December 2022.
The sustainable long term target reserves position of the Trust is to ensure that the trust holds sufficient reserves to cover working capital requirements. The Trust believes that it needs to hold a minimum of 3 months operating costs (estimated to be £12.8m) to cover the charity in the event of unforeseen circumstances that interrupt our normal business revenue.
A level of prudence was adopted as we approached the year end with growing concerns around higher energy costs. This has proven to be wise given the significantly increased energy, employer and cyber security costs.
The Trustees believe that the current level of free reserves of £4,785,748 together with the freehold property of £4,850,000, which is held free of debt, provides the buffer required by the policy.
Investment Policy
The Trust’s policy is to invest cash surpluses in bank accounts to generate interest at best rates available. In view of the prevailing low interest rates throughout the period covered by this report, very little interest was generated.

We have followed the 2019 UK Government environmental reporting guidelines. We have also used the GHG reporting protocol - corporate standard and have used the 2020 UK government's conversion factors for company reporting.
The Trust is satisfied that since 2021 it has consolidated its capture of energy consumption data in a meaningful format as part of its commitment to improve its energy efficiency.
As part of this commitment to improve its energy efficiency and decrease its carbon footprint the Trust developed a new energy management strategy into 2022. This includes a number of initiatives some of which have been implemented across the Trust. These are namely:

ONESCHOOL GLOBAL UK
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (continued)
-
A centralised gas and electricity online dashboard monitoring system which uses information from smart meters, to be installed across sites to improve our understanding of energy consumption and help identify areas to reduce consumption.
-
We are investing in LED lighting across the Trust estate, the aim being to reduce energy consumption by over 20% using LED lighting technologies.
-
We have installed PV panels on the roof of Exchange Place the aim of reducing energy consumption by over 10%.
-
Approximately 30% of the Trust’s electricity bill is linked to the running of ICT servers and air conditioning that support the core ICT solutions within each Campus. The Trust is currently working to move more of its IT infrastructure to the cloud to ensure greater resilience of the systems, reduce carbon consumption and facilitate improved cyber security of data.
-
The plan over the next two years is to undertake detailed energy audits of all of the Trust academies to support each academy in reducing their carbon footprint without incurring substantial capital investments.
Section 172 Statement
In accordance with Section 172 of the Companies Act 2006, the Directors (who form our Board of Trustees) complied with their duty to promote the success of the Trust through their approval of the strategic 5-year plan and on-going review of performance against this. All decisions are made in line with Trust’s integrated strategic and financial plan, with the long-term interests of the charity and its stakeholders in mind.
Culture, employee welfare and engagement are important to Trustees. As a Trust, we already support flexible working practices, we have improved our communication with staff in recent years and are about to embark on a review of our staff wellbeing programme.
Trustees understand the importance of maintaining productive relationships within stakeholders, underlined by a strong sense of purpose. Trustees and staff proactively collaborate with a variety of stakeholders within the education sector to share knowledge and learnings as appropriate.
High standards of business conduct are always maintained. The Trust holds regular meetings with suppliers and engages with them through different procurement processes to ensure good working relationships are developed and sustained.
Trustees are mindful of the Trust’s impact on the community and environment. Our communities, social action and enrichment sit at the heart of everything we do, and this is reflected in our curriculum.
As a registered charity, we are committed to making the biggest difference to all of our pupils, inside and outside the classroom. The Trust’s reputation and business conduct are paramount to its future success and ability to deliver value to its various stakeholders. The Trust has an experienced Trustee Board who are responsible for ensuring corporate governance best practice is followed, supported by the Risk and Audit Committee, Finance Committee and UK Buildings Team.

ONESCHOOL GLOBAL UK INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ONESCHOOL GLOBAL UK
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of OneSchool Global UK (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 group’s and the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2022; and of the group’s and the parent charitable company’s incoming resources and application of resources, including their 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 Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulations 6 and 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
Basis for opinion
We have been appointed auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under those Acts.
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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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 group’s or parent 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.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s 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.
13
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Report and the Strategic Report, prepared for the purposes of company law and included within the trustees’ Annual Report , for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees’ Report and the Strategic Report, included within the trustees’ Annual Report, has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Report or the Strategic Report, included within the trustees’ Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
sufficient, adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out on page 11 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 group’s and parent 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 group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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 auditor’s 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.
The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of noncompliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit.
In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit.
However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.
14
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the group audit engagement team:
-
obtained an understanding of the nature of the sector, including the legal and regulatory frameworks that the group and parent charitable company operates in and how the group and parent charitable company are complying with the legal and regulatory frameworks;
-
inquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud;
-
discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud.
As a result of these procedures we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 102), Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the parent charitable company’s governing document and tax legislation. We performed audit procedures to detect non-compliances which may have a material impact on the financial statements which included reviewing the financial statements including the Trustees’ Report, remaining alert to new or unusual transactions which may not be in accordance with the governing documents, inspecting correspondence with local tax authorities and evaluating advice received from internal/external advisors.
The most significant laws and regulations that have an indirect impact on the financial statements are those in relation to the Education Inspection Framework under the Education Act 2005 (as amended), Keeping Children Sage in Education under the Education Act 2002 and General Data Protection Regulations under the Data Protection Act 2018. We performed audit procedures to inquire of management and those charged with governance whether the group is in compliance with these laws and regulations and inspected correspondence with regulatory authorities.
The group audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls as the area where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to testing manual journal entries and other adjustments, evaluating the business rationale in relation to significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside the normal course of business and challenging judgments and estimates.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our report
This report is made exclusively to the members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, and to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the members and the charitable company’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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, its members as a body, and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ONESCHOOL GLOBAL UK
ACCOUNTING POLICIES for the year ended 31 December 2022
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Oneschool Global UK is a charitable company registered in England and Wales. The address of the charity’s registered office is Exchange Place, Poseidon Way, Warwick CV34 6BY. The charity meets the definition of a Public Benefit entity under FRS102.
The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the Group financial statements:
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
CHARITY STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES
As permitted by s408 of the Companies Act 2006, the Charity has not presented its own Statement of Financial Activities as it prepares group accounts and the Charity's individual balance sheet shows the Charity's surplus or deficit for the financial year.
GOING CONCERN
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, ie whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the trust to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the trust have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the trust’s ability to continue as a going concern. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
The trustees have considered, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the going concern concept in relation to the availability of funding and any associated material uncertainties, the basis of any significant judgements and the matters to consider when confirming the preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis and the trustees are comfortable that there are not any adjustments required. The Trustees have received confirmation of the continuation of funding from the Grace Trust, as principal funder, over the period of at least twelve months from the approval of these accounts and therefore the trustees expect the charity to continue in operation for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements.
FUNDS
Funds held by the charity are:-
-
Unrestricted general funds – these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
-
Designated funds – these are unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.
19
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2022
ONESCHOOL GLOBAL UK
FUNDS (continued)
- Restricted funds – these 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 aim of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
INCOME
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, it is probable it will be received, and the amount 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 year is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Donations are recognised on a receivable basis (when there are no performance related conditions) where the receipt is probable and the asset can be reliably measured.
Donated fixed assets are measured at fair value, unless it is impractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor is used. The gain is recognised as income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset category and depreciated over the useful economic life in accordance with the charity’s accounting policies.
Interest receivable is included with the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis.
EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the group to pay out resources.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs to the appropriate category.
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives of the charity. Single or multiyear grants are accounted for when the charity has agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and any condition attaching to the grant is outside of the control of the charity.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. Governance costs are included within costs of charitable activities.
All costs are allocated between expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. All support and governance costs relate to the provision of services and goods to schools, and as such have been allocated against this activity.
EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The best estimate of the expenditure required to settle an obligation for termination benefits is recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Assets whose cost exceeded £500 are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and are subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
20
ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) for the period ended 31 December 2022
ONESCHOOL GLOBAL UK
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS (continued)
Depreciation is charged by annual instalments commencing with the year of acquisition at rates estimated to write off their cost less any residual value over their expected useful lives as follows:
Leasehold buildings and improvements Over the length of the lease Computers and equipment 3 years straight line Motor vehicles 6 years reducing balance Fixtures and Fittings 2-3 years straight line
A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
LEASED ASSETS AND OBLIGATIONS
Where assets are financed by hire purchase and leasing agreements that give rights approximating to ownership, the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright. The amount capitalised is the present value of the minimum lease payments payable during the lease term. The corresponding leasing commitments are shown as obligations to the lessor. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements, and the interest is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in proportion to the remaining balance outstanding.
VOLUNTEERS
The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into the financial statements as it cannot be readily quantified.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
PENSIONS: DEFINED CONTRIBUTION SCHEME
The group operates defined contribution schemes. Contributions are charged in the financial statements as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme and allocated to activities in line with the relevant employees.
CASH AND BANK BALANCES
Cash and bank balances includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Charity has applied the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ of FRS 102, in full, to all its 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 amortised cost, being their settlement value, and in the case of debtors, less any impairment losses.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a material effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements for both the current and next financial year are:

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) for the period ended 31 December 2022
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT (continued)
Useful economic lives of tangible assets
The annual depreciation charges for the tangible assets are sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 8 for the carrying amount of the tangible assets and the useful lives for each class of asset on page 21.
