## **ST JOHN FISHER PRE-SCHOOL**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 08 APRIL 2025
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 08 April 2025.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The aims of the pre-school are to enhance the development and offer education of the highest standards to children under statutory school age by instigating and adhering to the statutory framework for the early years foundation stage and keeping fees as low as possible.
## **Achievements and Performance**
We have had a change in a few staff this year and welcomed four new members of staff to replace. One fully qualified and highly experienced, one is to cover maternity leave, the remaining two are mature apprentices, who we are supporting through their Early Years Educator training L3. Staff renewed their First Aid training and continue with updating and attending various other training including SENCO L1-4. Managers continue to attend local briefing & network meetings, hosted by our LA, plus attend Local Inclusion forums, again hosted by Harrow. We’ve had quite a hard year with a few forced closures due to maintenance of the building and heating either not working properly or giving up all together. Hopefully this has now been rectified with the purchase by our landlords of a new boiler.
Our manager has introduced ‘Stay & Play’ sessions 2/3 times per year for parents to see what we do; this is in addition to our meetings for 2 year progress checks and transition meetings with parents.
We have had several children with SEND needs this past year and have worked with our local inclusion officer and various specialist teams to further their development.
As we are now coming up to 2 years since our registration as a CIO we are expecting an Ofsted inspection shortly.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
Our management structure consists of a Manager & Business Manager. In addition to this we employ a Deputy Manager, who is also our SENCO. Our governance consists of 5 Trustees. Our governance and management have remained unchanged this year. Trustees and staff are currently working on adopting policies to include the changes in safeguarding and EYFS 2025.

## **Public Benefit Statement**
The trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
In particular, the trustees consider how the planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives of the charity. St John Fisher Pre-School provides early years education and care that is accessible, inclusive, and affordable for families in the local community, thereby delivering clear public benefit by supporting child development and school readiness.
## **Financial Review**
During the financial year, the charity generated an income of £144,779.83. Total expenditure for the same period amounted to £147,489.26, resulting in a deficit of £2,709.43 for the year. This shortfall was partially due to the temporary forced closure of the premises to carry out essential maintenance and repairs, including addressing a broken heating system. Despite this, the charity maintained a healthy bank balance of £48,021.17 at the year end, ensuring sufficient reserves to meet short-term obligations and continue delivering its charitable activities.
## **Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the Charity Commission’s requirements.
They must ensure that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year.
This report was approved by the trustee and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of St John Fisher Pre School
I report to the Charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 8 April 2025 which consists of the statement of financial activities, balance sheet and the related notes
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees, 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 all 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 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 no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 08 APRIL 2025
## **1. Accounting Policies**
The principal accounting policies adopted by the Charity, which is a public benefit entity, in the preparation of the accounts are as follows.
## 1.1 Basis of preparation
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of charitable properties and fixed asset investments and investment properties at valuation.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with “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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
## **1.2 Going concern**
The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic conditions and have, at the time of approving these accounts, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
