ST MARLEBONE CAMP OF WILLIAM ELLIS SCHOOL TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT FOR YEAR ENDING 31 MARCH 2025
Trustees
The initial Trustees appointed 20 February 2024:
Samuel White (Chair) (term 5 years) Richard Ault (term 4 years) Fiona McWilliam (term 3 years) Omar Harmon (Vice Chair) (term 2 years) Terence Walton (term 1 year) Ended 19 February 2025
Isabella Jones is a trustee ex-officio as Head Teacher of William Ellis School.
Fiona Millar is a trustee ex-officio as Chair of the Trustees of the Birkbeck and William Ellis Schools Trust.
The initial trustee terms were set up to provide a staggered retirement over a 5-year period. Following the retirement of Terence Walton on 19 February 2025 the trustee position remains vacant. Any new appointee would serve the remaining term of 5 years (from 20 February 2025).
Trustees can be appointed by the existing Trustees. The management committee consists of the Trustees. There were no payments to Trustees during the year by way of remuneration or reimbursement of expenses.
Status
The Charity was registered with the Charity Commissioners under number 1207099 on 20 February 2024.
The registered address of the charity is: William Ellis School, Highgate Road, London, NW5 1RN.
There are no special restrictions in the way in which the Charity can operate other than those subject to compliance with Charity Commission requirements.
The Charity was set up to replace the old charity of the same name (Charity No. 325110). However, the property known as ‘The Mill’ is considered by the Charity Commission as ‘Endowed Property’ and will remain with the old charity. It is planned that other assets of the old charity (bank and investments) will be transferred to this charity and that this charity will become the sole Trustee of the old charity. Legal work to complete these steps has not been completed and until it is this charity has not been able to start operating.
Objectives and Organisation
The objective of the Charity is to operate “The Mill”, a residential study centre, in the village of Forest Green, Surrey for the primary benefit of promoting the education (including social and physical training) of pupils attending William Ellis School in the London Borough of Camden. The facility is also used by other schools and organisations to give inner city children the opportunity of experiencing the countryside.

Trustees' responsibilities for the financial statements
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which 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. In the production of these financial statements, the Trustees should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ascertain its financial position and to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Omar Harmon – Vice Chair
The financial statements are prepared on an accruals basis in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice. Investments are recorded at market value in accordance with recommended practice but otherwise the financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis.
Accounting for income

Income from investments is accounted for on a received basis.
Voluntary help is not included in the financial statements. The extent of volunteer help received is explained in the Report of the Trustees.
Expenditure
