## **CHAIR OF TRUSTEES SUMMARY**
## **COURT FIELDS PRE SCHOOL CIO**
## **FINANCES 2021/2022.**
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
## **CHAIR’S REMARKS.**
Despite another challenging year, the setting has, once again, produced an enviable set of financial results (a copy of which are attached). The CIO has endured the ongoing issues with Covid, Flu and the general downturn in the economy, the Pre School has made an operating profit. At £17,000, this is £12,000 above last year’s figure. This gave the Trustees the opportunity to evaluate where the CIO stood regarding staff wages, and a general uplift was applied to all levels. It has also allowed the Setting to embark on various improvements to the building and outside areas to enhance the learning experience. Other expenses have, once again, been well controlled, which, as previously commented upon, is a good achievement. The Trustees would like to record their thanks to Sheryl Higgs, Manager, for her commitment. The attached finances have been produced by our accountants, and verified by them. Their statements are recorded on the documentation.
## **PREMISES**
As advised to Trustees during the year, our Landlords, Wellington Youth Community Group, are relinquishing their interest in the Youth Centre, of which we are part. During the year, we have been negotiating with Somerset County Council, for our current Tenancy At Will to be made into a secure tenancy with the new landlords. The new Landlords will be the Castle Academy. We had been told that this would have been finalised in September, but this has not yet materialised. The Board has sought, and received, assurances that the Heads of Terms agreed will SCC, will form the new contract between the Trust and the Academy. This will ensure the continuance of the Pre School, and at preferential terms.
## **CLOSING COMMENTS**
The Trustees are very pleased with both the financial, and the physical performance of the CIO. The Board acknowledges, with thanks, that the team of staff have been the reason for the continued success of the setting, more than ably led by Shery Higgs, our Manager.

## **Court Fields Pre School CIO Independent Examiners Report for the year ended 31 August 2022**
We report on the accounts of the trust for the year ended 31stAugust 2020 which are set out on pages 2 to 4.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to our attention
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the charity commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. These procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required by an audit and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent Examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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 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.
