The Eden SDA School Foundation Charity – 2020/2021
Report of the trustees for the year ending 31 August 2021
The Governors of The Eden SDA School Charity present their annual report and audited accounts for the year ended 31 August 2021 and confirm they comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the trust deed, and the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
OUR AIMS
The school operates under a Declaration of Trust dated 12 August 1909 and a scheme which was sealed by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales on 9 April 1992 which included the regulations for appointment of trustees.

Our Aims and Intentions
The Eden SDA School is an independent not for profit charitable institution set up to provide Christian education for children of Nursery, Primary and Secondary ages – 2 years to 18 years.
-
Our aims and intentions are philanthropic and as we concerned with caring for the academic, social, spiritual, and physical needs of children in our community whose parents desire that their children receive the age old and timeless value within an educational setting.
-
We do not bar any child from being educated at Eden whatever their religious persuasion if they uphold the ethos and values which are akin to British values. All sections of the local community can access our education provision.
-
Although a fee-paying school, because of our charitable intentions, the fees do not reflect the typical private school fees. Our fees are kept to a minimum reflecting the affordability of our parents.
-
We also attract parents whose children have special educational learning needs due to our small setting and our intensive programme of support, nurture, understanding and the skill of meeting the needs of children with emotional, social, and academic weaknesses
-
Our school has the facility to meet the academic, spiritual, social, and physical needs of children who have been excluded from schools and are in local educational Pupil Referral Units. So far, we have over 25% of students attending the school from one of these units or from local schools where they have been excluded.
-
The school is closely affiliated to another charitable institution that in the past supported our school with grants to help those parents who are struggling to give their children an education where British values of courtesy, respect, caring for others and appreciating the needs of others is paramount but who just cannot afford the fees of private schools. However, although this has now been discontinued, we continue to support our parents in this regard.
-
We also run and provide free evening parenting classes for the local community to help and support parents who find it difficult working with and understanding their children. We have been running this programme and advertising it in the local community with a very good response. The community members are requesting for the classes to continue as it has been so beneficial to the members, and they are seeing changes taking place in their homes as they grow to understand the experiences their children are having in the world that negatively impacts their home life and their responses to their parents.
-
We offer a discounted fee for students from low-income families and unemployed parents to enable our students to benefit our school fees at a low level so that even parents who are unemployed receive enough help from our school to pay a small amount to receive the high standard of education that we provide.
-
As our aims and constitution testify, we are committed to meeting the academic aspirations of our parents who live within a lower socio-economic level yet desire great achievement for their children to lift them out of poverty, low self-esteem, and depreciating values. At Eden we successfully achieve those aims one child at a time which has

long-lasting effects that we hope will touch their adult lives in the future.
-
We promote the advancing of education for the public benefit by the provision of a Christian school for pre-school children aged 2 -4 years and to children aged 5-18 years living particularly in West London and its outskirts.

Why a Green Environment?
Green learning (Eco Education) - Environmental and Land Based Education (ELBE)
The Eden Curriculum educates our pupils to have regard and respect for the environment, nature, and the inhabitants of the natural world through an environmental and land-based education. All classes are required to ensure that each day some of the lessons are in the outdoors. We don’t want our children stuck behind a desk from 9am-4pm each day. For our SEN children we encourage them to get out into the fresh air regularly throughout each lesson for at least 10 minutes, so they are more relaxed, calmer, and focused when they return to classes. We call this golden time, and all our students receive some benefits from golden time throughout each day to give them a healthy break and a release from the stress of studies. We promote a healthy balanced vegetarian diet in the school dining hall and emphasize regular water-drinking by placing water fountains (we buy in our water) at various sites within the school. Learning is thirsty work!
All pupils from Early Years to Key Stages 1-5 are required to participate in our gardening, horticultural programme on a weekly basis where pupils can grow their own foods, tend the gardens, and harvest their crops. They learn the value of ecology and work collectively to recycle and to minimise pollution following project-based work activities. One exciting aim of the ELBE programme is to practically grow organic foods in our future green houses to cook and eat at lunchtime and to sell as part of the Manual Labour Enterprise - a small business fundraiser school initiative where pupils will put into practice Business skills.
The school is registered with Food for Life a government sponsored national programme that encourages lasting and sustainable change to the way schools think about food and their health. Growing foodstuffs from seed informs our pupils in more interesting ways where food is sourced since many children living in London do not understand that food is not made in supermarkets.
Being linked to the Food for Life program will score points because it brings Schools, Nurseries, Care homes, Hospitals, and the wider community (grandparents, Aunties /uncles) together. Family culture and togetherness is on the downslide, and this is one way of bringing family culture and communities in London together. The school has received School Awards from this National organisation, such as free seeds in the post, organic gardening guides and equipment for School workshops. We launched a free open day to neighbouring roads to come to see our school garden and meet the children who offered each attending neighbour a free grown vegetable some Sunday mornings. We went out on farm trips too. These activities are inspiring for our students.

The Eden SDA School
E DUCATING F OR E TERNITY
We began as an Ealing independent school 25.5 years ago. 90% of our pupils lived in the borough and 75% of our staff also. Over the years of relocation seeking for that stable environment we spent the greater proportion of our school’s existence in Ealing. This is for the following reasons:
1) The majority of our children 60% continue to live in the Ealing borough and we want to make our location accessible and more convenient for our students.
2) We have built a great rapport and relationship with Ealing over the years having worked closely with Senior Leaders in SEN, the Psychologists, Therapists and SEN officers who would visit Eden on a regular basis to work with students.
3) At one stage we educated as much as 25 SEN students from Ealing and was granted an Ealing school to be temporarily housed in.
4) We currently have Ealing, Brent and Southwark SEN EHCP/statemented children attending Eden.
5) The Eden SDA School Services some of “Ealing’s” Care homes and the benefit the homes receive Is a focal point for relocating us in the Ealing area to enable continuity. The older folks and young people spend time together, such as providing musicians and pianists of old-time music including World War classical songs. Instrumentals played by the children bringing the elderly down memory lane and so much cheerfulness. It is joyful to see the tapping of the Senior Citizen’s feet during the afternoons of fun.

Morning Routine
School begins each morning with our pupils and teachers gathering in the playground to complete one lap of the playground and to recite the school pledge: -
I am fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God.
Therefore, I will be courteous,
I will be healthy, I will be respectful, I will be studious, Because I am being educated for eternity!
Following registration, all pupils must attend school worship for a session of praise, prayer, thanksgiving, pupil recognition and a health/spiritual presentation before separating to the various classes according to the timetable.
Friendly competition is introduced as each pupil joins a schoolhouse on enrolment: King, Latimer, Mandela, Seacole. The system fosters teamwork, creativity and a community spirit. Children are encouraged to use their creativity, thinking skills, and learning to achieve as many house points as they can!
Weekly swimming lessons are provided by a qualified instructor. All students from Reception to Year 9 are to participate in this aspect of the school’s curriculum.
We encourage all students to learn a musical instrument. We have employed professional peripatetic Music Tutors. We currently offer guitar, piano, drums & voice. Tuition fees are to be paid a month in advance.
Students sit a Phonics Test at the end of Year 1 and SATs Tests at the end of Years 2 and 6. Year 9 SATs are no longer statutory however we continue to test students formally at the end of Year 9 to assess their ability for GCSE’s. We strive for students to achieve excellence in all tests and exams.

Progress Tests
This is administered each term. To monitor students’ progress and raise standards, all students are given a test every halfterm.
GCSE Examinations
During the High School students’ first three years at Eden High (Key Stage 3), all students follow a broad and balanced common curriculum (National Curriculum). During Years 10 & 11 (Key Stage 4) all students will continue to study recognised GCSE subjects.
Operational Facilities
We were based in a large banqueting hall where we set up our High School classes in an open plan setting with dividers between each class. This can become a noisy environment when too many High School classes are being taught at the same time. Therefore, we were eager to move to new suitable premises at 92- 100 Warwick Road, Ealing, W5 5PT.
Lockdown and school Development from March 2020
-
➢ Unfortunately, the country went into Lockdown during the month of March 2020 leading to the school being closed until September 2020. The new school year began hesitantly but excitedly after 5 months of closure due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. The students were so happy to return to school. It felt like a true reunion of friends and family. We clearly saw the very negative results of the lockdown with the students hungry for social interaction, relieved and elated to be back to some form of normality.
-
➢ Although we had moved to the Warwick Road, Ealing premises in February, the students had very little time to get acclimatised to the new premises as within 2 weeks the Lockdown was imposed, and school was closed. So, the students only became familiar with the layout of the school during the month of September.
-
➢ Within 4 months, the country was back in Lockdown which once again disappointed our students. The positive side of the lockdown was that teachers were able to stay very focused regarding the Curriculum and taught only the essentials. We also focused more importantly on English, Reading, Maths and Science in the Primary and Early Years classes. It was wonderful to see the joy on the teachers’ faces as the students Reading Ages jumped significantly an impressively on return to school in April.
-
➢ As teachers we were very sceptical about online teaching – the fear of the unknown crept in but we had to dive headfirst into this new way of teaching and based on our trial run during last year’s lockdown which had many hits and misses, this year’s online teaching was a huge success. We grappled with all the issue that crop up with online teaching and bit by bit we were able to overcome all the challenges and the students and parents were visibly impressed and generally praised the good work the children and staff were accomplishing.
-
➢ We kept school open for EHCP students during the Lockdown and it was quite a juggling act to teach online whilst simultaneously teach students in the classroom but once again, praise be to God we overcame this challenge too.
-
➢ We currently have 81 students in the school. Of the 81 students – 11 have ECHP/Statements and 4 are currently being processed whilst 10 have been identified as needing School Action either for Mild Learning Needs or Emotional/Behavioural challenges.
Staffing
We currently have 25 staff members including: 7 High School teachers; 3 Primary School teachers; 2 Early Years Practitioners 5 Teaching Assistants; 1 cook; 1 Administrator; 2 Counsellors; 1 Chaplain and 1 SENCO.

Ofsted Report

The Eden SDA School
E DUCATING F OR E TERNITY
We had our last Ofsted inspection November 2019 where we achieved a Good Judgement. We have achieved Good
Judgement for many years and this last judgement is clearly an indication of how much we need a stable long-term environment to put down roots and to meet the areas of need:
Academic
Our GCSE options now include Sociology, Citizenship along with Food Preparation and Nutrition and Textiles to the curriculum options. We are registered to offer GCSEs, AS and A level courses with Edexcel and WJEC.
We also introduced Finance weekly lessons in Key Stage 3 and Food and Nutrition also for Key Stage 3 students on a weekly basis. During the Lockdown we were incentivised to introduce Local community languages in our school reflecting the culture and home background s of our students: Twi – Ghana; Patois – Caribbean Islands; – Yoruba – Nigeria; Portuguese – Africa and Portugal & Brazil along with Makaton – Sign language.
Our academic results again showed further improvements with our public examination results being the best achieved by the school to date. The curriculum also includes the development of the whole individual, including the ‘soft skills’ of selfpresentation, public speaking, team working, coaching, and mentoring of others and social skills. The co-curricular activities are significant for being the main avenue for developing these strengths where we combine the personal interests of our pupils with the opportunities to develop these soft skills.
The GCSE Summer exams were particularly challenging with the emphasis of the Exam Boards for schools to produce physical evidence of the grades we were suggesting for each student. This meant that students had to be sitting numerous tests that reflected their ability. The exam boards worked the Exams Officer and the Headteacher to the bone all through the Summer holiday stressing us with zoom meetings, demanding more evidence and pressurising us to produce extra paperwork to back up our decisions. It was an incredible battle that we finally won in the end with 100% GCSE , A Level and Diploma pass rates. Our students were amazed and delighted with the results.
At GCSE 100% of our pupils achieved grades A* to C, improving on the previous year’s record of 90%.
100% of our Sixth Form pupils achieved passes, Merits and Distinctions in vocational qualifications such as Health & Social Care.
All leavers went on to further, higher education or employment. None were NEET.
At our Primary School SATs was cancelled this year too and all progressed to either our High School or the secondary school of their choice.
Co-curricular activities:
Music
Fifty percent our pupils learn at least one musical instrument – voice, drums, guitar, or piano. Our students are very musical, artistic, and creative. We showcase their natural creative ability by presenting our annual Xmas Dreams Concert to the delight of the parents, friends, and relatives.
Drama
All our pupils can take part in our Drama productions. This year the whole school participated in our annual Motherland Production ‘written by the Headteacher. It tells the story of the Slave Trade seen through the eyes of children and was performed to parents and friends. All pupils take part in Drama performance in all the years. Once again Motherland was cancelled due to theatres not reopening for use to hire their space to run our amazing production.
Sport
Our philosophy is enjoyment and fitness for all, aiming for each pupil’s personal best. Pupils pursue the following sports during winter and summer: Football, basketball, badminton, volleyball, rounders, dodgeball, athletics, are for most age groups and our results reflect the hard work and enthusiasm of the pupils. Athletics is an option in the Spring and Summer term. We also offer our High School pupils the opportunity to participate in the English Schools Athletics Association, Middlesex Round 1 Competition and although a small school we nevertheless achieve awards in specific track and field events

Some of the highlights of the year included:
Due to the Lockdown the English School’s Athletics Association games were cancelled.
Sports Day
Sport’s Day is one of the Highlights of the School Year where the 4 school Houses: Mandela, Latimer, Seacole and King compete for the School Sports Cup at Osterley Sports Ground. Parents, Friends, governors, and supporters of the school join in the fun day. Due to Lockdown, we did not have a Sports’ Day this year.
Swimming:
Our students attend weekly swimming lessons in the Local Acton Everyone Action Swimming Centre. Students from Reception to Year 9 participate in these swimming lessons.
Special Subject Weeks
The School, Staff and pupils School organise a variety of Special Subject Weeks throughout the academic school year where the students focus on one subject for the week and participate in practical activities and showcase their creative skills to parents and the rest of the school on a ‘Showcase Day’ at the end of the week. They are as follows: ‘Science Week’, ‘Maths Week’, ‘Drawing the Line Week (Art)’, ‘Phonics Week’, ‘Music Week,’ ‘Book Week,’ ‘Health Week’, ‘AntiBullying Week,’
Community Service
Pupils also take part in practical voluntary service in the local community and in a variety of countries. In 2018 some of the High school students went to Uganda -Kampala to support the voluntary work with children. Through these opportunities to serve others, our pupils also gain educationally though a meaningful interaction with those outside our school community. In the year the whole of the school pupils were involved giving over hours of volunteer time for 3 projects – Tee- shirts to Africa, Sickle-Cell Awareness Days, ADRA Shoe-box (Toys for Children in Need abroad).
School Trips:
On a yearly basis during each Summer Term, the students go on residentials. We have had school trips to France, Italy, New York, Isle of Wight, Cornwall, Dorset and many other places in the UK both Primary and High School students go on these trips and thoroughly have a great and joyful experience away from their usual environment giving them the opportunity to see other landscapes, other environments, other people’[s and other cultures way of life.
-
➢ The School Year ended last Summer on a high with pupils, students and staff participating in a range of fun activities that was each a delightful experience.
-
➢ The Early Years pupils had an indoor sleepover, sleeping in little tents situated in the Nursery and tucked away in their sleeping bags. They went shopping in Westfield, gardening in a local allotment and went out for dinner in a local restaurant.
-
➢ The Primary School pupils camped for 3 nights at the SEC Hay’s Wood Retreat in Kings Lynn, Norfolk. They learnt to put up their own 5 man tents and had a great and joyous adventure exploring the 50 acre site, singing and worshipping in the outdoors and around the camp fire as well as cooking meals in the kitchen tent. It rained some of the days but the pupils were not put off and learnt amazing skills from the experience.
-
➢ Not to be outdone, High School spent a marvellous week at the Pontins Centre in Camber Sands in Rye, East Sussex. They had a great time playing on the beach, cooking, worshipping and bonding together ending their week with an exciting paint-balling.
FUTURE PLANS
The Governors intend to continue their current strategies of maintaining the school’s position in a competitive market by investing to provide high quality education for our pupils. Achieving a high standard of academic results is a constant aim whilst maintaining the breadth and depth of the education provided.
Our future plans are to purchase our own premises with state of the arm equipment and resources in a green parkland environment.
OUR FINANCES
11
The Eden SDA School
E DUCATING F OR E TERNITY
The financial statements show net incoming resources for the year on School activities of £575.591
The principal source of income is fees accounting for 90 % of the school’s income. The Governors are continuing their strategy of deploying all net incoming resources to investing in the educational purposes and fabric of our Early Years, Primary and High School.
As a charity the parents of our pupils have the assurance that all the income of the school must be applied for educational purposes. As an educational charity we enjoy tax exemption on our educational activities and on our investment income and gains provided these are applied for our charitable aims. As a Charity we are also entitled to an 80% reduction on our business rates on the property we occupy for our charitable purposes. The financial benefits we receive from these tax exemptions are all applied for educational purposes and indirectly help us to maintain our bursary policies and ‘teaching link’ programme.
However, as an educational charity, we are unable to reclaim VAT input tax on our costs as we are exempt for VAT purposes. We also pay tax as an employer through the national insurance contributions we make.
In additional to the very substantial benefits our School brings to our pupils, the local community and society through the education we offer, our bursary programme and our ‘teaching links’ programme create a social asset without cost to the Exchequer.
Developments and Maintenance
On moving to the site, the school had to expend over £7,000 in making the site secure to safeguard our students. We had to acquire fencing and gates around the new site. We also had to expend more resources on Astro-turfing.
Reserves and Financial Health
The Governors regularly review the finances, budgets and spend against budget together with a monthly cash flow analysis as part of the effective stewardship of the school.
Pension Liability
The Governors recognise the value of ensuring that all staff are linked to a pension plan – in line with the Government Nest pension Plan, the School pays into this Scheme for each staff below pensionable age.
OUR ETHOS, STRATEGY AND POLICIES
Our Governors are responsible for setting a strategy for achieving the objectives they have set. The focus of our strategy is on the development of our pupils, their continued high levels of academic and co-curricular achievement and to further widen access to the education our School provides. In taking forward our strategy we:
-
review and benchmark the school’s academic syllabus, teaching practices and examination results
-
ensure the range of co-curricular activities available to our pupils is stimulating and challenging
-
invest in technology and the infrastructure of our School
-
co-operate and share resources with local schools
-
continue to review and develop our methods for awarding bursaries and scholarships to ensure wider access to pupils from all backgrounds
Our ethos: a caring School serving our local community and society
The Eden SDA School is a charitable trust which seeks to benefit the public through the pursuit of its stated aims. Our fees are set at a level to ensure the financial viability of the school and at a level that is consistent with our aim of providing a first-class education to boys and girls.
Our school welcomes pupils from all backgrounds. To admit a prospective pupil, we need to be satisfied that our School will be able to educate and develop a prospective pupil to the best of their potential and in line with the general standards achieved by their peers. Entrance interviews and assessments are undertaken to satisfy ourselves and parents that potential pupils can cope with the pace of learning and benefit from the education we provide. An individual’s economic status, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, or disability do not form part of our assessment processes.

The Eden SDA School
E DUCATING F OR E TERNITY
Our School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
In the last Ofsted report, 2019, the pastoral care provided by our Form Tutors, Heads of Year, SLT and Staff were described by Ofsted as: ‘Pupils enjoy coming to this school. They say that this gives the school a family feel.’
Parents are given regular information about their children’s social and academic progress through parent evenings in addition to the traditional end of term and year reports. We maintain regular contact with parents throughout the year through informal contacts and through our newsletter. Older pupils have a Form Tutor and House Tutor responsible for pastoral care and academic development.
We also have a system of Head Boy and Girl and prefects who are involved in assisting senior teaching staff in enforcing our very vigorous no bullying policy.
ACCESS POLICY
It is important to us that access to the education we offer is not restricted to those who can afford our fees. We believe our pupils benefit from learning within a diverse community. A great deal of learning occurs through social interaction, conversation and shared experiences which helps our pupils develop an understanding of the perspectives of other people that will be vital in their adult lives.
Our bursary policy together with our Parenting programme for community parents contribute to a widening of access to the education we offer and the facilities we enjoy.
Parenting Workshops
Our School is a part of a wider community, and we are keen that our staff, pupils, and parents participate. Our School also offers a resource to support parents in the community by inviting speakers, presenters, and practitioners to run parenting seminars on a wide range of topics ranging from: Junk Food and your child, TV and computers and your Child, Parenting Black Boys, Gangs and your Child, Mobile Phones and Your Child.
Bursary policy
The Governors view our bursary awards as important in helping to ensure children from families who would otherwise not be able to afford the fees can access the education we offer. Our bursary awards are available to all who meet our general entry requirements and are made solely based on parental means or to relieve hardship where a pupil’s education and future prospects would otherwise be at risk for example in the case of redundancy.
In assessing means we take several factors into consideration including family income, investments and savings and family circumstances for example dependant relatives and the number of siblings. However, our School does not have a large endowment and in funding our awards we must be mindful that we must ensure a balance between fee-paying parents, many of whom make considerable personal sacrifices to fund their child’s education, and those benefiting from the awards.
The bursary awards range from 25 % to 50 % remission of fees. In the year we awarded 8 bursaries at an average of £800.00 each.
We also have a hardship fund that supplements bursary awards to pay for co-curricular activities, equipment, and school trips. Information about fee assistance through bursaries is provided to all applying to the school. We also advertise the awards each summer in the local pr and at local libraries. Further details of our bursary policy and how to apply are available on our website.
OTHER POLICIES ON ASSISTANCE
Financial planning policy
Timely financial planning is often the key for many parents who are hoping to send their children to The Eden SDA and a school fees plan is available to help those who wish to fund educational costs through regular contributions.

Family discounts policy
To underline the value, we place on continuity for families, we offer discounts where parents have more than one child at the school or where parents fall into the low bracket income or to support those who are on benefit but greatly desire and are committed to educating their child or children at The Eden SDA School.
PROMOTING HIGH ACADEMIC STANDARDS
Assistance for our teaching staff
As part of our emphasis on attracting and retaining high calibre staff, we offer a discount scheme where staff members choose to educate their children at our School.
SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT – Moving Premises
In February 2020, we moved premises to 92-100 Warwick Road, Ealing, W5 5PT. This was due to the need to have more classroom space as the previous Gunnersbury Grounds site although green and conducive to our school ethos and green values just did not have the physical classroom space to house us as the school population grew in number. The site is situated on a road adjacent to the University of West London. The school is housed in 2 large buildings with a carpark space between the two buildings. There is no green space only tarmac which we have overlaid with Astro turf. There are 5 primary classrooms, one nursery room, 6 High school classrooms, one main hall, one sports hall, ICT Suite, staffroom, Intervention Suite, Therapeutic Room, Sensory room, Kitchen, Resource room, Reception and Offices. The space is adequate and appropriate for housing the school, but the lack of outdoor space is not ideal. Therefore, the students must visit the nearby parks on a daily basis for recreation. We continue to search for school premises with adequate green grounds.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Governors, who along with the charity trustees, are responsible for the overall management and control of The Eden SDA School Charity and meet six times a year. The work of implementing most of their policies is carried out by the members of the various Committees – Safeguarding, Governance, Pupil Wellbeing
Staffing, SEN, Health & Safety, Behaviour and Exclusions, Admissions. Legal, marketing & Publicity, Curriculum, pay & Appraisal, Parents and the Community and the Finance Committee which meet termly. The various Committees and Finance Committee work under the chairmanship of a Governor appointed at the first Governors’ meeting each calendar year. The Eden SDA School Bursar is responsible for co-ordinating the work of the Governors and their Committees, preparation of papers and management accounts and the review of matters arising.
All trustees give of their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the year. No Governor or person connected with a Governor received any benefit from either means tested bursaries or scholarships awarded to our pupils.
Key Management Personnel
The Governors consider that they, together with the Head, the Bursar and the Senior Leaders comprise the Key Management Personnel. The Governors give of their time freely and the pay and remuneration of the Head and senior staff is set by the Finance Committee and is kept under annual review. Several criteria are used in setting pay:
-
➢ nature of the role and responsibilities
-
➢ competitor salaries in the region
-
➢ the sector average salary for comparable positions
-
➢ trends in pay
Organisational Management
The Governors determine the general policy of the school. The day to day running of the school is delegated to the Head, supported by the Senior Leadership Team. The Headteacher undertakes the key leadership role overseeing educational, pastoral, and administrative functions in consultation with the senior staff. The day-to-day administration of both Junior and Senior School is undertaken within the policies and procedures approved by the Governors which provide for only significant expenditure decisions and major capital projects to be referred to the Governors for prior approval.
The Head oversees the recruitment of all educational staff, whilst under delegated authority the bursar oversees the recruitment of administrative and non-teaching support staff. The Head and Bursar attend all Governors’ meetings. The Headteacher and her team of Senior Leaders lead the day-to-day running of the school.

E DUCATING F OR E TERNITY
Governor Recruitment and Training
The Governing body requires breadth and depth of experience to carry out its duties effectively and efficiently. When recruiting new trustees, the important attribute is a passion for the work of our Schools and an understanding of education as a holistic and rounded experience of personal growth. We advertise for new trustee in our church newsletters and through our newsletter to parents. We also invite senior local businesspeople to consider joining our Board. Where possible the Governors consider that the skills and experience of the Board should comprise the following:
A Governor with a legal background A Governor with a financial/accounting background
A Governor with education experience
A Governor with senior managerial or business experience
A Governor with experience of equal opportunities or disability needs At least one female Governor and at least one male Governor
Other Relationships
The Eden SDA School is affiliated with the South England Conference of Seventh-day Adventist Churches and the British Union Conference of schools which is an opportunity to share expertise, knowledge, and experience across the independent school sector.
Risk Management
The Governors are responsible for the overseeing of the risks faced by the school. Detailed considerations of risk are delegated to the Senior Leadership Team of the School made up of the Assistant Heads, Deputy Head and the Headteacher with reference to the School Board Chairperson for direction and guidance. Risks are identified, assessed and controls established throughout the year. A formal review of the charity’s risk management processes is undertaken on an annual basis. Risk is managed under the headings of financial sustainability, school safety, student welfare, employment, school trips and events and community access.
The main risks that the Governors have identified and the plans to manage those risks are:
-
➢ Reputation. The school’s success is built on its reputation for the education and well-being of our pupils. We manage this risk through safeguarding policies, staff recruitment policies, pastoral support for both pupils and staff and active identification and resolution of health and safety related issues.
-
➢ Money. Our ability to continue is reliant on pupil fees and the ability to pay bills as they fall due. This risk is managing by marketing activity, having a reputation for academic excellence and active cash-flow management including access to an adequate short-term credit facility for parents.
-
➢ Curriculum. Academic excellence requires the most able teachers delivering the curriculum to able students.
Through the risk management processes established for the School, the Governors 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.

THE EDEN SDA SCHOOL (COMPANY NO: 10434437 ENGLAND AND WALES) DIRECTORS' REPORT
The directors present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 October 2021.
Directors
The following directors held office during the whole of the period:
Mrs Laura Audrise Osei Ms Lynthis Grant Ms Naomi Adomah Osei
Statement of directors' responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the report and accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these accounts, the directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
Signed on behalf of the board of directors
