THE BEIS MALKA TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees are pleased to present the annual report for the year ending 31 March 2022 which has been a very momentous year for the school, appreciating that we were able to remain open for the full academic year, following the tumultuous lockdowns of the year before.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, 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).
Objectives and activities
To advance the education of children and young people aged 2 to 16 years from the Jewish community by providing an educational framework which complies with standards identified by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (now the DfE).
To advance the education of the pupils at Beis Malka Nursery and School by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities beyond that which is required.
The objectives are achieved through the delivery of a vibrant, broad and balanced curriculum. Quality teaching is ensured through the provision of comprehensive CPD opportunities.
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives. In planning its activities for the year, as can be seen from this Report, the charity recognises that its aims are for the public benefit.
The school uses volunteers during lunch time to supervise children. The school also uses volunteers as assistants in the classroom to support teaching and learning.
Achievements and performance
The aftermath of Covid left significant gaps in education and wellbeing. The gap in education was vast. Although many children and teenagers were faring poorly, academically our pupils were disproportionately affected. Due to cultural restrictions on internet usage, lessons during lockdown were held by tele-conference. This was challenging, especially for the visual learners and more so for those with EAL status who depend on the face-toface interactions to support learning.
Initially, we assessed the pupils, creating a baseline assessment and setting appropriate targets. We delivered additional GCSE support sessions, SATs clubs, homework clubs and tutoring sessions to address the academic fallout. Students also benefitted from exciting spelling bees, times-table competitions, writing contests and fun quizzes. We were gratified that feedback from parents,’ teachers and pupils as well as the fabulous exam results all attested to the efforts invested.
With reading being the key for success in all subjects, we incorporated a new project in the Early Years department, entitled The Power of Reading. This develops reading skills in an innovative way as pupils delve into a storybook analysing the characters, the plot and the objects or animals discussed. This provides them with a thirst for reading, helps them consolidate information and enhances cross-curricular knowledge in a variety of numerical, scientific or geographical concepts.
Staff benefitted from a range of training sessions, to empower them to help close the gap in learning as well as support their emotional wellbeing. Furthermore, in their constant quest to improve and to share best practice, the school leaders visited a school in Manchester to observe lessons, interact with teachers and learn from their teaching methods. It was a most rewarding trip providing leaders with new skills. School leaders also attended a 3-day seminar delivered by Torah Umesorah which empowered them to coach their staff thereby maximising learning outcomes for all students.

THE BEIS MALKA TRUST
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Tackling the academic front was only the first stage we undertook to close the gap, as we know “educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all” (Aristotle). In addition to increasing the availability of sessions with our emotional health team to meet the growing demand, we launched several additional programs and staff-training on Mental Health to help our children and young people deal with the trauma, become more aware and build resilience. One of these was a panel where students and staff facing real-life challenges answered questions pupils had on dealing with illness, familial issues and bereavement. A theme song was created to promote resilience, to encourage each other that we would come through this stronger and better.
The school continued to benefit from the WAHMS (Wellbeing and Mental Health School project) services offered in Hackney. Under the guidance of their specialist we continued to implement a three-pronged approach to improve children’s mental health focusing on the key partners in the children’s wellbeing - parents, teachers and children. Parents and teachers continued to access appropriate resources and training which created awareness of issues that could present in children. We also continue to use their expertise to revise our PSHE policy incorporating additional social programmes designed to promote healthy peer relationships and constantly encourage children to express their feelings enhancing their emotional wellbeing.
Since April 2021 the school provided nutritious meals for children in need. Although this has been a tremendous financial strain on the school, for many of these children this is a crucial part of their sustenance as their families struggle with the massive rise in food and fuel costs. We know it is our responsibility to provide for the physical wellbeing of our children so that they can progress, and we will do our utmost to continue. Currently, these children many of who are essentially entitled to free school meals are not in receipt of this government fund because they attend independent schools. Chinuch UK are currently advocating with the Local Authority and others influential politicians that Independent schools qualify for this funding.
We also launched a number of stimulating PSHE projects which cultivate pupils’ skills and aptitudes like teamwork, communication, and resilience all crucial to navigating the challenges and opportunities of the modern world. Secondary school pupils also benefitted from two motivational overnight retreats for 2 days each. The division of responsibilities amongst the students ensured that all had a part in preparing either the décor, program or culinary delights culminating in a fantastic experience in an enabling environment. The rural setting, relaxed ambience and beautiful atmosphere engendered much happiness, friendship and improved holistic wellbeing.
Towards the end of the financial year, secondary school students produced a dazzling performance showcasing their singing, dancing and acting talent to a 650 strong audience. All parts of the performance were created and led by the pupils themselves. This empowered pupils with many hard skills such as costume design, sewing, dancing, choreography etc as well as soft-skills including team-work, time-management, problem-solving and budgeting. The narrative depicted a family escaping communist Russia and their heroic journey to freedom. This inspiring message was a great source of encouragement to many a vulnerable teen that dawn always comes after darkness.
We have revamped the pre-nursery playground, extending the space, laying soft-surfacing and painting the walls to make the space safer, more inviting and suitable for its young beneficiaries. Not only have they benefited but many adult visitors to the school have also complimented the colourful area of our garden and how inviting it looks.
The safety of our pupils is at the heart of everything we do. Policies and procedures were constantly reviewed so that they remained responsive to the times. Designated Safeguarding Leads (DSL) from all departments across the school met to create a cohesive forum to share updates, anonymous case studies, training measures and ways to ensure their staff are committed to compliance.
With technology use requiring a constant vigil, the school held a technology awareness week where the dangers of technology were presented, and tools were provided to combat these. Incentives were offered to support pupils to undertake commitments to minimise their exposure.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Financial review
The results for the year are shown in the attached financial statements.
The risks and uncertainties facing the school are primarily the rising costs in all areas. Concurrently,the trustees acknowledge that many parents are struggling due to the cost-of-living crisis and this has impacted the contributions they are able to make to the school. However, it is hoped that the school will secure government funding through the Free School Meals scheme for Independent schools, which is currently in discussion. This will ease the strain the cost of meals provision is currently having on the school’s budget. Also, many additional funding streams are being explored. A crowdfunding campaign is planned for Spring and combined anticipated income of £350,000 will improve the financial outlook for the charity. In light of the increased cost, the school's leadership team have also introduced tighter control on the spending of funds which should result in significant cost savings.
The Trustees aim to keep reserves of one month's wages, approximately £140,000. Although the charity doesn’t hold reserves at the year end, the trustees are confident that the increased income will enable the charity to rebuild these. At the year end, unrestricted free reserves stood at £Nil (2021: £73,586).
Future developments
As part of the PSHE extra-curricular learning programme and to promote goodwill, volunteering and sharing we plan to launch BMCZ initials for Beyond My Comfort Zone where pupils will be encouraged to leave their comfort zones and give to others through a variety of exciting mediums.
We will also be implementing a new Maths program White Rose utilising the Shanghai-Bar model including number sentences to support this.
The school also plans to introduce a new reading-based learning scheme to ensure cross-curricular learning in all departments.

-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

THE BEIS MALKA TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BEIS MALKA TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Beis Malka Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

THE BEIS MALKA TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BEIS MALKA TRUST
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations - this responsibility lies with management with the oversight of the directors.
The extent to which our procedures can detect irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
-
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience through discussion with management (as required by auditing standards).
-
We had regard to laws and regulations in areas that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting and taxation legislation. We considered that extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
-
Except for any known or possible non-compliance, and as required by auditing standards, our work in respect of these included enquiry of management about the charity's policies, procedures, and related controls regarding compliance with laws and regulations and if there are any known instances of noncompliance.
-
We tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
-
We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.
-
We examined supporting documents for all material balances, transactions and disclosures.
-
We evaluated the selection and application of accounting policies related to subjective measurements and complex transactions.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements of the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK).
- 6 -
THE BEIS MALKA TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BEIS MALKA TRUST
The potential effects of inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud because fraud may involve sophisticated and carefully organized schemes designed to conceal it, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or intentional misrepresentations being made to us.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Other matters
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements 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)" (as amended) 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.
This has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with current Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Landau Morley LLP 31 January 2023 Chartered Accountants Statutory Auditor 325-327 Oldfield Lane North Greenford Middlesex UB6 0FX

THE BEIS MALKA TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
The Beis Malka Trust is a charity. The registered office is 93 Alkham Road, London, N16 6XD.
1.1 Accounting convention
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 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, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. 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 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.
Donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.
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.
Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
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.
No amortisation has been provided on freehold land and buildings and long leaseholds as the assets are kept in good repair and their useful lives and estimated residual values are such that depreciation is not material. Assets are reviewed annually for any impairment. The trustees are of the opinion that the recoverable amount is in excess of the carrying amount and feel that no provision for impairment is required.
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 17.5% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance Playground equipment 17.5% reducing balance
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.
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.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
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 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.
1.11 Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the assets fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to net income/(expenditure) for the year so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
1.12 Government grants
Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are recorded as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned.
A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.
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.
