REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The Trustees present their report with financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The main income of the Foundation is derived from the Investment Assets. The income from the Investment Assets is applied by the Trustees in accordance with Section 32 of the 1986 Scheme, namely:
a) Subject to payment of expenses of management and any superannuation payments in making payments to the Governors for the time being of All Saints CEVA Primary School to be applied by them in discharging their obligations under the Education Acts with respect to the maintenance of the school.
b) Subject thereto in any or all of the following ways:
i. Payments to the Governors of any voluntary Church of England School substantially serving the former Borough of Northampton to be applied in discharging their obligations under the Education Acts with respect to the maintenance of the School concerned.
ii. The provision of such special benefits of any kind not normally provided by the local education authority for All Saints CEVA Primary School or any other voluntary Church of England School substantially serving the former Borough of Northampton as may from time to time be agreed between the Foundation Trustees and the Governors of the School concerned after consultation with the authority.
iii. Promoting the education (including social and physical training) of persons under the age of 25 years who are in need of financial assistance and who are attending All Saints CEVA Primary School or have attended that School for not less than two years or who are resident in the former Borough and subject thereto, persons under the age of 25 years who are in need of financial assistance and who are attending schools or full time courses of education, to include Northampton University, within the former Borough of Northampton. In addition, the Trustees are able to award grants for further education and university courses beyond the former Borough of Northampton where appropriate for locally resident students, subject to the full provisions of the 1986 scheme.
Public benefit
The Governors confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Scheme's aims and objectives and in setting the grant making policy for the year.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Review of developments and achievements
There have been no new refurbishment projects in the year. The Governors have built up a property repairs reserve to cover the future cost of repairs and maintenance and finance should any further refurbishment projects become feasible from within the B & S portfolio.
The property portfolio is currently fully let, although one tenant ceased trading during the year and fell into insolvency, leaving the Charity with unpaid rent. The cafe premises at 5 Gold Street, Northampton were swiftly re-let and remain occupied and trading.
The reimbursement of the cost of rectifying the rainwater penetration at 8 Bridge Street remains unresolved, but the costs have regrettably been written off as being too costly to recover. Repayment of business rates incurred during the period that numbers 8, 10 & 12 Bridge Street were unable to be occupied due to construction works has been obtained from the Local Authority.
The rental income from the residential element of the property portfolio continues to increase, whilst the commercial rents remain static. During the year, Michael Jones Jewellers of 1 Gold Street, Northampton have refurbished and fitted out the retail areas in 3 Gold Street at their cost. The resultant property is in keeping with the character of their neighbouring premises and has improved the eastern end of Gold Street.
Messrs Eddisons were selected to continue the management of the commercial property within the portfolio, with Greener Rentals managing the residential properties.
Lowdown, the youth counselling service, who are the occupants of The Old School building in Kingswell Street, completed phase one of their extensions programme last year and have obtained planning application for phase two. The Governors paid £20,000 in March 2023 (which was committed to be donated in a previous financial year) towards the cost of the phase two works. The extensions to the Old School Building subsequently received listed building consent and the construction work has now commenced, with completion due in Autumn 2024. A new lease at a peppercorn rent was granted to Lowdown in advance of the works and a Licence for Alteration has subsequently been entered into by the parties.
The Governors have continued to use the services of Messrs HCR Hewitsons, Solicitors, for our legal and administration services and are grateful to them for all the work they undertake on the Governors' behalf.
The Governors continue to take their responsibilities for this distinguished Foundation seriously, founded nearly 300 years ago, and believe that their actions over the past year have further enhanced Becketts & Sargeants' reputation for sound governance within the former Borough of Northampton, which it serves.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to hold the property and CAF Gold account to generate (taking one year with another) sufficient income to continue current levels of grant making in real terms. A balance is held in liquid funds to cover management expenditure as and when it arises.
At the 31 December 2023, the amount of the liquid reserves in the unrestricted fund amounted to £148,295 (2022: £70,992). Total expenses for the year were £177,115 and so the amount held is more than adequate to meet the needs of the charity.
The results for the year are set out within the SOFA.
General unrestricted reserves amounted to £3,784,182 at 31 December 2023 (2022: £3,693,308).

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF BECKETT'S & SARGEANT'S EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Beckett's & Sargeant's Educational Foundation (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements, 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 (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 December 2023 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 Auditors' 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 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 Report of the Independent Auditors 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 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 where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF BECKETT'S & SARGEANT'S EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011, United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and relevant Taxation legislation.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be the understatement of income. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, reviewing meeting minutes, regulatory correspondence and professional fees, and detailed substantive testing on the completeness of income. We will also review the regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
These inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed to avoid detection, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.
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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

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 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 trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charity, 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 Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Beckett's and Sargeant's Educational Foundation is an unincorporated charity, registered in England and Wales. The charity's number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
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 are charged in the financial statements when paid. Some grants are awarded for disbursement of the funds in a subsequent accounting period.
Raising funds
Costs of generating funds comprises those costs directly attributable to managing the investment portfolio and raising investment income.
Charitable expenditure
Charitable expenditure represents the direct costs, grants and depreciation incurred for the furtherance of the charity's objectives as stated in the annual report. Expenditure is shown gross, inclusive of unrecoverable VAT.
Governance costs
Governance costs represent the costs of the Clerk's time attributable to Trustees' meetings and the cost of accountancy services.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% on cost
Assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised.
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 - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
1. 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.
Listed investments
Listed investments are valued at fair value at the year end. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Investment Property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
General funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Designated funds are those which have been set aside out of unrestricted funds by the Trustees for specific purposes.
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 financial activities.
Significant judgements and estimates
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 above.
