TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".
The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning the charity's future activities and believe that the activities of the charity clearly demonstrate a direct public benefit.
Objectives and activities Organisational Context
Inspiring Teachers is an evidence-driven nonprofit taking a systems approach to empowering teachers across Africa with practical tools that help them deliver strong foundational learning.
Our long-term ambition is to provide a platform that enables public education systems to launch and run programs that help teachers guarantee foundational learning outcomes for millions of children in sub-Saharan Africa.
Over the last year, we strengthened and expanded our Tools for Foundational Learning Improvement (TFLI) approach, extending Inspiring Reading (our literacy-focused structured pedagogy) and shifting to a model in which our program staff support government officials in implementing successful programs using the materials we provide, as well as SmartCoach and dashboards. Under this model, our team provides support rather than fronting delivery.
Our strategy remains to create and demonstrate the potential of tools that make great teaching easier, reduce the burden on educators, and enable simple feedback loops so that learning data reliably triggers action at the classroom, school, and system levels.
As of January 2026, Ghana remains our strongest foundation for scale. We have expanded our work to 139 schools in the Central Region, including 56 low-fee private schools and 83 government schools. Alongside this, we have continued to develop our Tools for Foundational Learning Improvement approach, deepening partnerships and learning that will support further scale and stronger outcomes over the coming years.

Achievements and performance
Over the last year, we achieved significant progress in several key areas:
Program Development and Scale:
-
Expanded delivery in Ghana to 139 schools, strengthening our demonstration footprint and delivery systems
-
Improved the implementation package for literacy, combining lesson-level structured pedagogy with embedded assessment and clearer “what happens next” routines
-
Advance our foundational numeracy work through field learning and design, strengthening what we will take to scale next
-
Strengthened the role of school leaders in coaching and instructional support, making in-school professional development more consistent and more actionable
-
Supporting national professional development needs assessment in Malawi.
SmartCoach platform development
-
Improved offline-first workflows to make day-to-day use more reliable in low-connectivity contexts
-
Strengthened assessment and coaching functionality so that data capture and reporting are increasingly built into routine workflows
-
Improved feedback loops for teachers, school leaders, and support staff so information is easier to interpret and act on
Research and partnerships
-
Continued to strengthen research partnerships connected to rigorous evaluation and learning, including work associated with J-PAL’s Learning for All initiative and Innovations for Poverty Action
-
Deepened relationships with the Ghana Education Service and Kanungu District in Uganda, working with middle-tier actors who supervise and support schools
-
Improved our approach to implementation, measurement, and fidelity, strengthening the link between delivery quality and learning outcomes, including by using early grade reading assessments (EGRAs) in a randomised control trial evaluation
Organisational development
-
Consolidated local leadership capacity in Ghana and strengthened delivery systems
-
Reduced key-person dependencies through clearer roles and targeted recruitment
-
Continued to strengthen governance and board support, building the range of expertise needed for responsible scale
Inspiring Teachers is making steady progress toward impact at scale, and our ambition remains to support learning gains for millions of children by 2035. The progress we have made in Ghana through government partnerships and the continued strengthening of our tools and partnerships demonstrates that combining structured pedagogy, practical coaching routines, and technology can improve learning outcomes sustainably and cost-effectively.
We are grateful for the support, partnerships, and hard work that have made this progress possible. We extend our thanks on behalf of our team and the teachers and families our programs serve to our funders and partners. In particular, we were grateful for the support of the IDP Foundation, the Peter Cundill Foundation, the Windfall Trust, the Mulago Foundation, the Prevail Fund, and the Dovetail Impact Foundation.
We are proud of our team and grateful for their hard work and ingenuity. We are also grateful to our trustees for their stewardship.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Outlook
Inspiring Teachers is now increasingly positioned to keep growing towards making an impact at scale over the coming decade. The progress we've made this year demonstrates that our approach of combining practical teacher support with technology can transform educational outcomes. We have a long way to go to realise the potential of this approach and our vision. Still, we remain committed to making world-class teaching a reality in African schools through more practical, empowering, and cost-effective approaches to teachers and school leaders.
We are tremendously grateful for the generous support, partnerships and hard work that have made our year's progress possible. Particular thanks — which we extend on behalf of our team and the teachers and families our programs are making a difference for — are due to the IDP Foundation, who have backed our program in Ghana, The Bisconti Foundation, the Windfall Trust and Peter Cundill Foundation who provided unrestricted support and Global Schools Forum who are backing us to make Impact at Scale accelerator Program.
Financial review
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities. At the same time consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has not been maintained throughout the year, but the trustees are working towards achieving this.
Total incoming resources during the year amounted to £394,962 (2024 - £296,413).
Net outgoing resources for the year were £404,553 (2024 - £272,706).
At the year end there was unrestricted funds of £9,208 (2024 - £18,799). The Charity's reserves had a deficit of £8,455 (2024 - £6,758 surplus).
The three most significant risks the organisation faces are:
-
Ensuring the impact and efficacy of our programs and
-
Securing enough funding to deliver our vision,
-
Bringing together and keeping together the right group of people to deliver the vision.
We manage and aim to mitigate these risks by:
-
Aiming to use an "evidence in, evidence within and evidence out" approach to ensure our programs are effective. We draw on the latest research as we design the program. We embed mechanisms for gathering data from implementation as a byproduct of program delivery and intend to, at the right time, work with external partners to evaluate the efficacy of our programs.
-
Taking a diversified approach to fundraising and income generation. We generate membership income from teachers who contribute to our work through our Fellowships, receive revenue from consulting projects, and raise unrestricted grant funding. During the period, we used loan financing. We intend to transition to a combination of earned income, unrestricted funding and as the "market for impact" develops - outcomes funding.
-
Demonstrating a strong commitment to our work during this period. The core team members' combined skill sets and insights have been the key determining factor to the organisation's strong performance in navigating the challenges of the pandemic and developing innovative tools and programs. We intend to retain key people, increasingly transitioning them from being contractors and volunteers to, where appropriate, being employees.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity has considered its working capital requirements for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. Whilst the charity has negative reserves at the date of the accounts, the charity has received assurances from its main creditor that funds will only be called in as the charity is able to meet these calls. Additionally we generated incoming resources during the year and our financial position has further improved since year end.
On that basis, the trustees have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. Its governing document is the constitution adopted on 19th December 2019.
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
V West G Stead T Lancaster (Appointed 15 May 2024)
None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
We onboard new trustees by introducing them to our policies and working principles. Where possible, we intend to create opportunities for our trustees to visit our programs and meet with our partners and beneficiaries.
We are committed to delivering high value for money programs and believe that doing so will demand building and retaining a solid team who receive competitive compensation. Our approach to ensuring this is to build relationships with philanthropic investors who believe strongly in our cause and in the importance of effective management and strong teams.
The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INSPIRING TEACHERS
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF INSPIRING TEACHERS
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Inspiring Teachers (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000, the independent examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. I understand that this has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 Charities Act 2011.
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Inspiring Teachers is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, registed on 19 December 2019.
1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
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 £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity 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.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings 10% straight line Computers 33% straight line Motor vehicles 20% reducing balance basis
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
