REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE
-
Objectives for the year This year the focus has been on the continued achievement of academic performance so that pupils can move into schools of their choice.
-
- Strategies to Achieve the Years Objectives These included continuing fo review the Schools academic syllabus in order to bench mark academic standards against external public examinations and being balanced by a strong emphasis on sporting and social skills.
-
- Principal Activities of the Year The Charity principally provides education in Pinner to boys and girls from the ages of 3-11.
Review of Achievements and Performance of the Year
The PTA formed a new committee in September and organised many events for the pupils including pizza lunches, movie nights, London Mini-Marathon, Comedy Night, Leaver’s Disco, Summer Fair and Christmas fair.
Pupils took part in sporting activities, maths competitions, where we performed with distinction and Christmas and Spring Term concerts. Prep and Pre-Prep pupils were able to celebrate their achievements at Speech Day with guest speaker Damola Ojo, former pupil and recently qualified doctor who shared her love of Reddiford and how her experience helped her to achieve her goals.
Year 6 remembered their Reddiford journey at the Leavers Assembly and had fun at the ‘leavers disco’ after the enjoyment of their PGL residential trip. Year 5 also went on a residential trip to France for the second year where they enjoyed soaking in the culture and food of France, luckily this year there were no problems with the ferries.
We continued with our marketing strategy, diversifying our publicity to online and social media with an excellent hit rate. Our numbers picked up from Easter and we ended the year on 231 pupils. We have developed relationships with loca! nurseries to improve our reception transfers. This has proved to be a valuable link. We improved our offer by continuing to offer a holiday club for Early Years and Pre-Prep with an excellent uptake. We also introduced hot lunches for the first time to Reddiford which proved popular with parents and pupils. Reddiford Tuition Services also launched to attract our children who currently go outside for additional tuition, by offering this service our children are taught by staff in an environment they are familiar with.
Our strategy to explore the use of technology was implemented with the use of iSAMS, iFinance, TimesTable Rock Stars, Evidence Me, Language Angels, Satchel, Twink] and Discovery Education. We are still exploring moving to Sharepoint in the future to improve accessibility to technology and create financial savings by moving storage fully into the cloud. .
Early Years pupils all reached expected levels of achievement in the EYFS with many working at the ‘exceeding’ level. All pupils in the Lower school gained new skills and achievements.
Prep pupils were well prepared to tackle the challenges of the new academic year either at Reddiford or their secondary destinations. We continue to build on our success of helping to place our pupils in prestigious independent senior schools (44 scholarships) and local grammar schools (21 Grammar School offers),
Reddiford School attending community events such as laying a wreath for Remembrance Sunday, singing for local elderly residents, local hospitals and visiting a local care home. Our charity collections throughout the year were focussed on local charities suggested by the School Council such as our local food bank, St Luke’s Hospice as well as national and international organisations such as: Macmillan Cancer, ORBIS and Water Aid. In total we raised over £6,000.
We welcomed new staff and said our goodbyes and thanks to others including Michael Husbands who had served on the Governing Body since 2019.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 (Continued)
Accounting and Reporting Responsibilities
The purpose of this statement is to distinguish the Trustee’s responsibilities for the accounts from those of the auditors as stated in their report.
The Charities Act 2011 requires the Trustee to prepare accounts for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing the accounts the Trustee should follow best practice and:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
Follow the recommendations of the Charity Commission and of the accounting profession with regard to form and content of the accounts, or to disclose and explain any departures therefrom; and
-
Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will be able to continue to meet its objects.
The Trustee is responsible for keeping accounting records which are such as to disclose, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at any time, and to enable the Trustee to ensure that the accounts comply with the disclosure regulations. The Trustee is also responsible for safeguarding the Charity’s assets, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of error, fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF THE REDDIFORD SCHOOL CHARITABLE TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Reddiford Schoo! Charitable Trust for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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, 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 August 2025 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.
Conelusions relating to going concern
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
e The trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
e The trustee has not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

THE REDDIFORD SCHOOL CHARITABLE TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF THE REDDIFORD SCHOOL CHARITABLE
Other Information
The trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustee’s annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s 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 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.
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 Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
e the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustee report; or
-
e sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
e we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of the trustee
As explained more fully in the Trustee’s Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the trustee is responsible for the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustee determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or exror. In preparing the financial statements, the trustee is responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relating to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustee either intend to liquidate the charity or 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 auditors under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under this Act.

THE REDDIFORD SCHOOL CHARITABLE TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF THE REDDIFORD SCHOOL CHARITABLE
TRUST (cont.)
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.
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 auditor’s report.
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustee, as a body, in accordance with regulations of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work had been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustee 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 trustee as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE REDDIFORD SCHOOL CHARITABLE TRUST
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
J. Accounting policies
a) Basis of accounting
The charity constitutes a public benefit as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and Generally Accepted Practice as it applied from | January 2015.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and 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 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) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from ] April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The presentation currency of the Financial Statements is the pound sterling (£) and the Financial Statements are rounded to the nearest £.
b) Tangible Fixed Assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets retained for use by the School, other than freehold land, at rates and bases calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Furniture and equipment 25% on reducing balance Freehold property 2% on cost per annum Motor vehicle 25% on cost per annum
c) Fees and other income
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to and will probably receive them. Fees consist of charges billed for the School Year ending 31 August, less bursaries and allowances. If any income is received that relates to the next academic year then it is deferred to that year.
Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the Charity are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
d) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure is summarised under functional headings either on a direct cost basis or for overhead costs apportioned according to time spent. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expense to which it relates.
e) Teaching costs
Supplies of games equipment, books, stationery and sundry materials are written off to General Revenue account as soon as the expenditure procuring them is incurred.
{2
THE REDDIFORD SCHOOL CHARITABLE TRUST
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
f) Pension Schemes
The charity contributes to the Teachers’ Pension Defined Benefits Scheme at rates set by the Scheme Actuary and advised to the Board by the Scheme Administrator. The scheme is a multi employer pension scheme and it is not possible to identify the assets and liabilities of the scheme which are attributable to the school. In accordance with FRS17 therefore, the scheme is accounted for as defined contribution scheme. The charity also contributes to a company pension scheme for non-teaching staff in line with automatic enrolment that came into effect from | October 2014.
g) Governance costs These comprise the costs of running the charity, including strategic planning for its future development, external audit, any legal advice for the Governors and all costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements.
h) Operating leases Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the SOFA ona straight line basis over the lease term.
i) Stock Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisation value.
j) Going Concern Taking into account cash and investment balances, forecast income and expenditure for the next twelve months and the renewal of the School’s banking facility the Governors consider that the School’s available resources are sufficient for the School to be able to meet liabilities as they fall due.
For these reasons, whilst recognising the challenging environment faced by the whole independent school’s sector, the Governors consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
.
k) Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Repayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts offered.
I) Creditors and Provisions Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due,
m) Financial Investments
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.
n) Taxation The Reddiford School Charitable Trust is a charity within the meaning of Paragraph 1 schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010. Accordingly it is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains within categories covered by Chapter 3 of Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
