– TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FOR 01/09/2020 31/08/2021
ST JAMES CHURCH PRE-SCHOOL CIO – Reg # 1183349
St. James Church Pre-School has been operating for over 40 years. Originally as a playgroup and more recently as an OFSTED registered Early Years Setting. During this time, it has operated as part of the organisation of St. James Church (Registered Charity # 1128770 - THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF SOUTHLAKE ST JAMES).
During 2019, the process was started to separate the preschool from the organisation of the church and set it up as a new registered charity. The plan was for the operational side to begin from 01[st] August 2019.
Please refer to the report of 31/08/20 for the detail regarding the delay of transferring the preschool from the church charity to the new CIO.
As the operational side of preschool remains part of the church, there will be no accounts to file for this period. The financials are still reported within the accounts of the church under the charity # 1128770. The accounting period of which is 01[st] January to 31[st] December.
We can now report that we have had an OFSTED administration inspection and the new registration process has now completed. This was dated 8[th] February 2022. We are now in the process of completing the transfer agreement.
