**Building Effective Relationships**
In order to ensure the long-term future of the
school swimming pool we have been
engaging with the local community.
One of our main achievements was
introducing an online swimming pool booking
system which has ensured the whole
community can easily access the benefits of
swimming. The money generated through
this contributes the costs of the swimming
pool.
Community members have also worked with
the KTSCA on the SPLASHOUT III project.
This will replace ageing plant room
equipment and refurbish the pool. We have
received grant money and donations
towards this project.|

**Advancement of Education**
In order to provide workshops and
equipment, we also hosted several
fundraising activities throughout the year,
many of which were open to the community.
We hosted a Dinosaur ‘Egg’stravaganza,
autumn event with pumpkin hunt and
dragons, school discos, secret room gift
events, Christmas fayre, raffles, non-uniform
days, cake sales and a colour run sponsored
event.
**Building Effective Relationships**
Introducing the online swimming booking
system this year has enabled us to
effectively engage with the community and
offer everyone the opportunity to enjoy the
health benefits of swimming. The money
received from this will enable the school to
continue to provide swimming as a
curriculum activity and cover day to day
running costs of the swimming pool.
The SPLASHOUT III is project is a
community project where community
members have come together to support the
KTSCA in fundraising for new pool
equipment and pool refurbishment. This
project will support the school children and
wider community to live a healthy active
lifestyle.|

Year ended 31 August 2024
## **Independent Examiner's report on the Accounts**
I report to the trustees of Knights Templar School and community association on accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024 which are set out on pages 1 to 12
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed 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 Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in the report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
