ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Chair's Report
It has been great to see how the Lord has blessed the work of ACT over the last 12 months and we have seen many encouragements during this time.
ACT has continued to attract new members as the profile and reach of the organisation has grown. Regular media appearances by Lizzie Harewood, our Executive Officer, have helped with this, along with the positive news shared through word of mouth and the development of our online community, championed by Jo Boorne, our Administration and Development Officer.
Our Board continues to meet regularly in both formal meetings, and in smaller sub committees to help discuss and develop the work of the organisation. I am so grateful for the wide ranging expertise and backgrounds represented, and it has been great to see each member bringing their own skills and knowledge to bear.
Our focus continues to be across the three areas of connect, resource and influence.
In connect, we piloted the first two Faithful Foundations groups which offered teachers from across the country opportunities to discuss what it means to live our faith in schools. Our first local meet-ups were organised and the scope of the platform has continued to grow. Online events have continued to be popular with talks on topics like AI, mental health support in schools and how to have challenging conversations in Christian leadership. We have also considered more deeply what it means to partner with other organisations involved in supporting Christian education. This includes work with the Christian Leaders in Education network that was brought together in 2024. With the launch of a new App, we hope that it will be even easier for Christians involved in education to connect with, and encourage each other.
In the area of resource, our termly journal continues to be very popular and it is a joy to be able to showcase some of the work the Lord is doing through our members, as well as to consider in more detail contemporary issues. The podcasts remain a great resource and we are grateful to those who have brought their expertise to our ears across a variety of different themes.
As the profile of ACT has grown, so have opportunities for Lizzie to speak into the public domain and influence national conversations. As well as being a regular contributor in

ASSOCIATION OF CHRISTIAN TEACHERS
Christian publications, Lizzie has submitted crucial documentation in areas such as the recent curriculum review. We also continue to lobby for the rights of Christian educators as the government considers its legislation and guidance for teachers in RSE, transgender rights and the new Education Bill.
We continue to strengthen communication with our members, using regular updates and briefing documents to keep people informed. While use of the online platform remains low, there are always opportunities for our members to reach out to the team, seek guidance, ask questions and be signposted to resources. We were greatly encouraged by the money raised in our first annual appeal and grateful to those the Lord used to provide further support for ACT financially.
Prayer remains at the heart of our ministry and I am grateful to Jeremiah Emuchay for his faithfulness in producing weekly prayer points, as well as the pull out prayer pages for the Journal. It is great to see new faces at each of our half termly prayer meetings, and I encourage all those available to join.
We continue to work closely with TISCA, The Christian Institute, The Christian Schools Trust, Christian Concern, Christian Medical Fellowship, UCCF and Transform Work. We further continue to meet regularly as part of the Religious Education Council, Christian Coalition for Education and with Pray for Schools. All of these are rich sources of both encouragement and ministry and enable us to be a relevant voice and provider of good information and resources to our members.
We commend our reports to you, and ask that you consider partnering with us, prayerfully, and practically so that The Lord’s name is honoured throughout the world of education. Please do join us in London at the AGM for more information and to demonstrate your ongoing support.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, ACT has power to invest the Association's funds in any way the Board of Directors wishes. The Board takes the view that any investment made by ACT must be in accordance with the Association's Christian beliefs, aims and objectives.
Reserves policy
The ACT AGM on 18 November 2006 voted to approve the following Reserves Policy:
The Board should seek to maintain reserves equivalent to twelve weeks of unrestricted expenditure (free reserves).
This policy will be reviewed annually by the ACT Board of Directors. Any resolutions to change this policy will be brought to an AGM for consideration.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Association received during the year income of £45,120 (2024: £40,157). Expenditure for the year was £47,606 (2024: £49,775), a deficit of £2,486 (2024: deficit of £9,618) during the year. The total funds carried forward at 31 March 2025 were £113,111 (2024: £115,597) of which £9,503 (2024: £9,503) were restricted funds.
FUTURE PLANS
In 2025/26 ACT will continue to work in three main areas:
-
Increase membership and support to help ensure the long term financial stability of the organisation
-
Increase active engagement of members through access to original content e.g. podcasts, and attendance at events - Increase the Christian voice for education in England.

Recruitment and appointment of new Directors
Members of the ACT Board are Directors of the Company and Trustees of the Charity, and there are no other Directors or Trustees.
The Directors of the Company and Trustees of the Charity during the year are recorded overleaf.
As set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, one third of the Directors, as at the AGM, shall retire from office. A retiring Director is eligible for re-election. A Director who has served continuously for seven years may not be eligible for re-election for a period of a year. Article 30 in our Memorandum and Articles of Association allows the Directors, with certain restrictions, to appoint new Board members between AGM's. Any person so appointed serves until the following AGM, when he or she will then be eligible for election.
Only Full Members of ACT and Associate Members who are currently members of the Board of Directors who are present at the ACT Annual General Meeting (or who have sent an authorised proxy) can vote for candidates standing for election to ACT's Board of Directors. Voting is done by secret ballot with all voters having one vote per vacancy on the Board.
Organisational structure
The Board of Directors meets regularly to monitor the work and plan the future direction of ACT. All Directors are expected to attend all meetings. The Directors met six times during the year, all except two fully online.
Induction and training of new directors
The Directors of ACT have the responsibility for providing strategic leadership and direction for the charity and ensure ACT is well led and managed. In order to fulfil their responsibilities, ACT Directors are encouraged to attend appropriate internal and external training events where these will help them, as individuals, to undertake their role within the organisation.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Related parties
ACT works co-operatively with a variety of other organisations (whether Christian or nonChristian) providing this:
-
a) does not bring dishonour to God;
-
b) does not undermine the credibility, mission and purpose of the Christian Church; c) advances ACT's charitable aims; and
-
d) is deemed by the Board not to damage strategically the Association's reputation and/or compromise its ability to carry out its core functions.
During the year ACT has worked with or been part of Pray for Schools, Christian Coalition for Education, the RE Council of England and Wales, Transform Work UK, Evangelical Alliance Education Commission, European Education Christian Alliance (EurECA), TISCA, UCCF, Festive, Christian Institute, Christian Concern, Christian Schools Trust (CST), London Institute of Contemporary Christianity (LICC), Transforming Lives for Good (TLG),

On 24 April, 2025 the Charity Commission confirmed that the conversion of ACT from a Charitable Company to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) had been successful with the public records at both Companies House and the Charity Commission being updated. The revised governing document submitted with the application was approved and is active from that date. This change of status has been communicated to both the Association bankers and HMRC but no further action is required.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE DIRECTORS OF ASSOCIATION OF CHRISTIAN TEACHERS
Independent examiner's report to the directors of Association of Christian Teachers ('the Company')
I report to the charity directors on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's directors of the Company (and also its trustees for the purposes of charity law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Use of my report
This report is made solely to the charity's directors, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My independent examination work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's directors those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's directors as a body, for my independent examination work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. LEGAL FORM
The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. Its registered office and charity number is as shown on page 4.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within the individual accounting policies.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The selection of these residual values and estimated lives requires the exercise of judgement. The directors are required to assess whether there is an indication of impairment to the carrying value of assets. In making that assessment, judgements are made in estimating value in use. The directors consider that the individual carrying values of assets are supportable by their value in use.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the directors.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Financial instruments
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income under administrative expenses.
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.
