TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 August 2025. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The Charity's objectives are the advancement of secular and religious education including the provision of day schooling for children of both sexes, together with the provision of a Synagogue and other related religious amenities.

Within these objects the charity has maintained a restricted fund for the purposes of granting scholarships to certain pupils who fit the school’S scholarship criteria.

The policies adopted in furtherance of these objects are stated in this report and there has been no change in these during the year.

The Charity provides education to boys and girls from ages 3 to 11 years satisfying the requirements of UK primary education and provides a Pre-Nursery for children aged 2. It also makes its facilities available to the local community.

The school’s ethos is centred on the belief that an excellent education with a strong religious grounding is mutually attainable and beneficial. It is this ethos that we adhere to as we aspire to prepare the school’s pupils for adulthood.

It is the Charity’s policy not only to educate infants and juniors to a high level of academic achievement but also to provide the religious community with suitable facilities and an establishment for prayer.

The school continues to promote and engender core British values amongst our pupils.

The Charity has kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. We believe that the main aim of the charity is the advancement of secular and religious education including the provision of day schooling for children of both sexes, together with the provision of a Synagogue and other related religious amenities. We also believe that the public benefit is further illustrated in this report through the Objectives and Activities and Achievements and Performance sections.

Strategic report

The description under the headings "Achievements and performance" and "Financial review" meet the company law requirements for the Charity Trustees to present a strategic report.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Achievements and performance

a. Review of activities

The school has had a good year, and we continue to be proud of all our children’s achievements. Our Secondary transfer results for the year under review were excellent with places offered at top London, independent Secondary schools. Our children were awarded a creative writing and several academic scholarships. Methods of testing continue to change annually, and our teachers worked hard to ensure that the children were fully prepared for the variety of tests being used. This includes pupils taking regular, practice tests and undergoing several mock interviews by external consultants. In November, the school was inspected by ISI as part of the regular, routine inspection process. The school passed the inspection and received a very positive report.

Naima remains committed to offering the local Jewish community various religious facilities such as a Synagogue and Mikveh (ritual bath). Naima also continues to contribute to events for the wider local community. These include regularly sending sports teams to inter – school tournaments, the choir to an annual, children’s choral festival as well as other choral events, collaborating in joint P.E. lessons with a local school and attending an annual dance festival. Our security staff also play an important role in maintaining a positive community including engaging with police to reduce crime directed to local residents and working with traffic wardens in order to ensure safe parking.

As in the previous year, the children met with a wide spectrum of visitors throughout the year such as a weekly yoga teacher, authors, illustrators and other professionals and the children went on several outings to museums, art galleries and theatres, for example. Additionally, the annual visits of the farm and the toy museum are eagerly anticipated by the pupils and help bring learning to life. The weekly early morning running club for the children still attracts many children. The house points system continues to be popular with the children, and they remain encouraged to be awarded house point tokens. The ongoing success of our holiday camps for our pupils has ensured that this provision is now automatically offered for several days during each holiday period. Mental health and wellbeing of both pupils and staff is important to the school. A counsellor and wellbeing coach visit the school weekly to meet with pupils and the school subscribes to an employee assistance program for the staff, which offers them access to mental health and wellbeing support.

The school and parent body have kept in regular contact with Westminster Council about their social housing building project next door to the school. The works have recently been completed, and tenants will be moving in shortly.

Our ethos remains to maintain both secular and religious academic standards to the high level, to which the school has become known and to strive to provide the children with a stimulating, spiritual and excellent all round, education. The school continues to promote and engender core British values amongst our pupils. We expect the school to thrive for the foreseeable future.

Achievements and performance (continued)

b. Review of performance

The school's operating surplus before the net losses on the investments in the year was £325,360 (2024 - £94,854).

School fees increased by 16% to £2,870,897 due to fee increase and increase in number of pupils attended in the year.

School wages and salaries increased by 13% to £2,622,593 due to wages and employer's NI increase in the year.

The net funds as at 31 August 2025 were £9,027,129 (2024 - £8,726,839) and are considered satisfactory having regard to the Charity's objectives.

c. Investment policy and performance

The Charity's governing document permits the trustees to invest funds that are not immediately required for charitable purposes. The trustees seek to balance the need to preserve capital with the objective of generating an appropriate return on surplus funds to support the Charity's charitable activities.

During the year, surplus funds were invested in a portfolio comprising Treasury Bills and interest-bearing loans. Prior to making these investments, the trustees obtained and considered appropriate advice regarding the suitability of the investments, the associated risks and expected returns. Having reviewed this advice, the trustees were satisfied that the investments were appropriate for the Charity's circumstances and consistent with its investment objectives.

A substantial proportion of the Charity's investment portfolio is held in Treasury Bills, which the trustees consider to be a secure and low-risk investment due to the creditworthiness of Treasury bill and the short-term to mediumterm nature of the instruments. These investments provide capital preservation, liquidity and a stable return on funds that are not immediately required for charitable activities.

The Charity also holds interest-bearing loan investments which generate enhanced income returns. The trustees have assessed the risks associated with these investments and are satisfied that they remain appropriate having regard to the Charity's financial position, liquidity requirements and investment objectives.

The trustees consider the overall investment portfolio to represent an appropriate balance between security, liquidity and return. Income generated from the investments contributes towards the funding of the Charity's charitable activities and enables surplus working capital to be utilised effectively in furtherance of the Charity's objectives.

The trustees review the performance and risk profile of the investment portfolio on a regular basis and remain satisfied that the investment strategy is appropriate for the Charity's needs and consistent with its charitable objectives.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Financial review

a. Reserves policy

The Trustees have determined that the minimum level of liquid reserves which have not been invested in tangible fixed assets should be equivalent to approximately 13 weeks’ expenditure.

The Trustees’ policy is to build sufficient free reserves for future investment in the school as a whole, not only enhancements to the fabric of the school buildings, but also to keep pace with technological change and innovation. This policy applies to Information Technology and school facilities in general.

Tangible fixed assets include school buildings, the Synagogue and the Mikveh. These buildings are used for non-commercial purposes and for this reason the Trustees do not consider it appropriate to recognise its market value in these financial statements.

The Trustees are empowered to place funds, administered by the Charity, into investments which are likely to generate income without a material risk to the underlying capital. All funds were invested with the charity’s bankers in prior year and this year in addition to bank investments Charity, also, invested in Israeli bonds, treasury bills and lending through CSBF as in prior year. The Trustees’ financial policy is to generate an income stream with minimal risk to capital. As part of the charity’s restricted funds, the school scholarship fund of £231,648 was earmarked to provide scholarships to qualifying students. There were no qualifying applications received during the year.

a. Constitution

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

Structure, governance and management (continued)

c. Financial risk management

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

The Trustees examine, on a regular basis, any risks that they feel the school may face in each financial year.The Trustees have developed systems to monitor and control those risks to ensure that any impact or financial loss which may results from them may be kept to a minimum.

The key controls used by the Charity include:

The trustees are satisfied that most risks identified have been completely mitigated and also recognise that the system can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that most risks have been adequately managed.

d. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

The full name of the charity is Naima JPS and its Registered Charity Number is 289066.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, who served during the year were:

New trustees are identified and invited to join the board of trustees by the existing trustees. They are selected on the basis of their sympathy with the charitable objectives and their ability to pursue those objectives as a trustee. New trustees are elected by resolution and approved by a majority of trustees.

Under the company's Articles of Association any person who is willing to act as a trustee, and who would not be disqualified from acting for any reason, may be appointed to be a trustee by a decision of the trustees.

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NAIMA JPS

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Naima JPS (the 'Charity') for the year ended 31 August 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of financial position and the related notes, including a summary of 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:

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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material

Page 9

NAIMA JPS COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NAIMA JPS (CONTINUED)

misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Charity Trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 8 , 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 liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 Auditors' 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

Page 10

NAIMA JPS COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NAIMA JPS (CONTINUED)

in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the Charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the Charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' 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 members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 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.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution,the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Fees receivable are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided. Fees receivable are stated after allowing for bursaries granted.

Expenditure designated as charitable expenditure represents costs directly attributable to the principal activities of the Charity. These include the costs of teaching salaries and the associated staff and building costs.

2.6 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Land and buildings used for educational purposes are capitalised at cost, including directly attributable costs of acquisition and construction. The carrying value of fixed assets is reviewed annually for indicators of impairment. Where impairment is identified, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.

The Charity is responsible for keeping the original buildings in fit and useful condition, and these costs are written-off as incurred.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Land and buildings - 2% straight line - Improvements to property 2-10% straight line Mikveh - 5% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 20% reducing balance Religious artifacts - 10% reducing balance

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.8 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Statement of Financial Position date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.9 Current assets investments

Current assets investments comprise investments with a maturity of more than three months but not more than twelve months from the date of acquisition. These investments are initially recognised at transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Statement of Financial Position date. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they arise.

Where the maturity date falls within three months of the date of acquisition or the Statement of Financial Position date, such instruments are reclassified as cash and cash equivalents in accordance with the charity's cash and cash equivalents policy.

2.10 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.11 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.12 Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Statement of Financial Position date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

2.13 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

2.14 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

2.15 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

The Teachers’ Pension Scheme is an unfunded scheme and contributions are calculated so as to spread the cost of pensions over employees’ working lives with the school in such a way that the pension cost is a substantially level percentage of current and future pensionable payroll. The contributions are determined by the Government Actuary on the basis of quinquennial valuations using a prospective benefit method.

Listed investments 3,004,678 400,000

Included within current asset investments are Treasury Bills of £2,608,311 maturing within 12 months after the balance sheet date. The investment is stated at fair value of £2,584,678, giving rise to an unrealised loss of £23,633 recognised in the year.

Included within current asset investments are loans totalling £420,000 advanced through a commercial investment company. The loans are secured, repayable within 12months after the year end, and bear interest at fixed rates ranging from 9.18% to 10% per annum. The trustees have reviewed the recoverability of the investment balances at the year end and are satisfied that the carrying value stated in the financial statements is recoverable. Accordingly, no impairment provision has been recognised.

Included within the prior year comparative balance of current asset investments is £400,000 previously presented within other debtors. The comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with the presentation adopted in the current year, as the balance represents investment rather than other debtors.

Restricted Funds

Sainsbury Scholarship Fund

Donor-restricted fund established to provide scholarships to pupils meeting specified eligibility criteria. No awards were made during the current or prior year, as no applicants met the criteria. The balance is being retained pending future qualifying applications.

Mikveh Fund

Restricted donations received to support the operation, maintenance, and subsidised access to the Charity’s Mikveh facility for eligible users.

Security Fund

Restricted grants and donations received to fund enhanced security costs for the school. The level of security provision required is greater than that of a typical school environment, and the fund enables these additional costs to be met separately from general funds.

Bursary Fund

Fund established during the year to provide fee assistance to families experiencing financial hardship. The balance will be applied towards future bursary awards.

Other Specific Project Funds

The remaining restricted funds represent donations received for specific school projects and facilities. Amounts are released to the Statement of Financial Activities as the related expenditure is incurred.
