Bibury Primary Church of England School

2021 was, if anything, even harder than 2020 for the education of children and young people across the nation as Lockdown, COVID19 and all kinds of regulations disrupted the lives and development of young people.

However, at Bibury, under the dedicated and faithful leadership of Suki Pascoe and her brilliant staff team the children continued to receive a superb education and the school never closed as the teachers constantly put the needs of the children first, working incredible hours whilst having their own families to care for through the pandemic.

Assembly in the playground led by Tim, come rain, snow or shine became a standard feature of the year, (involving enthusiastic songs with energetic movement to keep warm) and were something of an inspiration to schools across the diocese where regulations prevented visitors coming into the school. Bishop Rachel came to take part in the end of year service to see for herself.

The close relationship between church and school continues to be enormously precious, and Easter, Remembrance and Christmas events took place in the churchyard. Parties were organised in the church. And Sportily after school clubs and holiday clubs took place throughout the year, bringing Faith, fun and physical activity together.

This contribution to school life was particularly valued by the Head teacher who was clear that whilst she and her staff could ensure that the children made up academic lost ground, they needed help with the fun, physical and social events. That the church was in a position to bring the Sportily offer to the school was a real example of creative working together.

Alice Helm took over from Jackie Colburn as Foundation Governor, and Richard Witham, who led much of the sports activity, is in the process of joking the board as a community Governor.

The next SIAMS inspection, long overdue because of Lockdown, is due in late 2022.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of the PCC of Bibury with Winson and Barnsley

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the PCC of Bibury with Winson and Barnsley (the Charity) for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Charity, 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 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

I have completed by 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.

Income is transferred to the Free Reserve Deposit Account.

The Brigstocke Fund: Held in a CBF Investment Share Account. The late Mr Reginald Whish Brigstocke died on 16 December 1971. He left the residue of his estate to the Vicar and Churchwardens. It was decided by the PCC in 1972 that the capital of the fund should be treated as a permanent endowment, the income to be applied to the expenditure of a capital nature only (i.e. not to be used to defray recurrent expenses), provided that any accumulated income, surplus to the PCC’s needs, may be applied for charitable purposes. Income from this fund is accumulated in the General Reserve Fund.

Mr Severn died in 1947 with a bequest that the residue of his estate be used for the maintenance and repair of Bibury Church and churchyard. The Vicar and Churchwardens are the Trustees.

Musgrave and Wise funds set up in the 18[th] and 19[th] centuries to provide coal to the poor of the Parish of Barnsley. The former Barnsley PCC assumed the role of trustee about nine years ago on the advice of the charity commission due to the minor value of the funds. The capital is invested in COIF funds and the income goes to the Barnsley Current Account.
