Another great year for DTA. Both the Derby and Nottingham schools have continued to perform well, sustaining the positive progress seen in the previous year. Nottingham, in particular, has experienced growth beyond expectations. In response, the Trustees are exploring options to establish Nottingham as a separate entity. Nottingham is currently working with CTA to review the prospects and practical requirements for operating independently. This year’s Sports Day was exceptionally well organised, supported by excellent volunteering and teamwork. We are also proud of the high standard of our workshop delivery and the strong support received throughout the year. We continue to encourage each and every student to participate fully, ensuring inclusive engagement and consistent learning outcomes. Students are actively encouraged to take part in competitions organised by external groups. These opportunities help build confidence, broaden knowledge, and strengthen wider community participation. A change of venue is currently under discussion, with the aim of improving comfort and convenience for parents and families. The Annual Day remains a key event in our calendar, providing an important platform for students to demonstrate their Tamil language and literary abilities. The Trustees record their sincere appreciation for the volunteers’ efforts, commitment, and time—our volunteer base is growing, and this continued support is vital to the successful delivery of DTA’s activities. In addition, we have begun initiating ideas to develop a strong library offering for children, with the objective of encouraging reading habits and supporting broader learning.

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 all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. ## Basis of independent examiners’ report We conducted our examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales. An examination includes a detailed review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the accounts comply with the statement of Recommended Practice issued by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales (effective October 2000), on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the accounts. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. We planned and preformed our examination so as to satisfy ourselves that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report we obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters. ## Independent examiner’s statement Subject to the limitations upon the scope of our work as detailed above, in connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention: - 1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or - 2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ……………………………………………………… 10[th] February 2026 Sri Guru Ganesh Consultancy UK Ltd 5 Magpie Crescent Nottingham NG2 7ZJ 5 ## DERBY TAMIL ACADEMY Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 31 March 2025 |Income
