THE THOMAS HEATHERLEY EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2021
The trustees are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st August 2021, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements 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).
OUR PURPOSE AND ACTIVITIES
The enduring objective of the Charity is to offer a public benefit through the provision of education in the visual arts at the Heatherley School of Fine Art.
The Charity was founded in 1969 and incorporated in 1970. It has had contro! of The Heatherley School of Fine Art since 1974, which is one of the oldest, and now one of the few remaining fully independent Art Schools in England.
Its primary objective, to paraphrase its Memorandum of Association (22.2.77), is to advance education in the visual arts, by the teaching of drawing, painting, sculpture, design, print-making and associated visual arts and crafts.
From the earliest days of the founding of the school in 1845, our teaching has been centred ona strong belief in the value to the artist of learning how to see. We provide a thorough grounding in methods of working from direct observation basing early study on the primary source of the human figure, portrait and natural objects. Students of Painting, Drawing, Sculpture, Ceramics and Printmaking explore the context of ideas within which they will build a personal language and develop the technical skills they require.
The pattern of study offered by Heatherleys has all but disappeared from mainstream colleges in the State Sector. We offer a portfolio of full and part time courses in direct response to the clear public demand for constructive and supportive teaching in the skiils and disciplines of Fine Art. Full time Diploma Courses are offered for those who wish to develop a career or to enrich their practice. Part time courses are structured to introduce and develop the skills and interests of students who may construct their own menu from over 30 courses. Experienced tutors are all artist practitioners and many are graduates of the Royal College of Art or The Slade. We offer a creative learning environment to our student community whatever their age, background or range of ability.
The School has expanded considerably in recent years, but its operating surplus is not substantial. It looks, therefore, to interest on its capital reserves to subsidise bursaries and free places as particular needs arise. Funds have been set aside for this purpose. The Charity is looking actively towards raising further funds specifically to extend this programme.
Achievement and activities
The mission of the school is to promote academic excellence and an education in the Fine Arts for all.
Students
Heatherleys offers full and part time courses in Fine Art to students with a variety of needs. Every year students are supported so that they may be qualified for a career in the arts or to apply for courses in further and higher education for which they might not otherwise have been eligible. The charity has helped a number of students to rediscover an earlier unfulfilled vocation in art and design, or to take initial steps into a new field after another career. Our student demographic represents a wide age range, social and cultural background and ethnic diversity.

DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2021
In an era of fluctuating and unsettled employment prospects, Heatherleys attracts a number of mature students who are drawn to our vocational courses as a means of developing or changing career pathways. Diploma Courses are structured so that they equip students with the skills necessary for professional practice. This to a degree that is not normally found in mainstream art schools these days. Graduates of the school are enabled to establish themselves as exhibiting artists in painting, sculpture and printmaking. Many graduates of the Diploma in Portraiture choose to become professional portrait painters working to public or private commission.
Younger students may seek further qualifications on completion of a Diploma course at Heatherleys, for instance by continuing their studies elsewhere on BA degree courses in Fine Art. Their high calibre has been regularly marked by the regular acceptance of our graduates on Master of Arts degree courses such as at the Royal College of Art, London. They may gain employment in a variety of arts related areas including exhibition preparation and curation, educational programmes, technical production, arts promotion and making scenery and props for film and theatrical companies such as at the Royal Opera House, London.
Education
The Heatherley School of Fine Art Is an independent school which has Accredited status awarded by the British Accreditation Council. This was renewed for the third time in December 2021 and is valid for four years.
Accreditation underlines academic excellence to internationally accepted standards and promotes student confidence in our independent institution. The Council demands that our building and facilities meet the highest standards of Health and Safety, that we subject our courses to continuous review and, by means of a system of staff appraisals and class observations, that we ensure our teaching staff and course programmes are of the highest quality so that we are able to fulfil student expectations.
Accessibility
We are committed to making our Diploma and Part time courses accessible to a diverse student demographic. We are noted for the strong sense of friendly community which is fostered within the school, promotes a constructive approach to learning and is an important support to students when they leave, We encourage and respect the participation in our courses of all adult age groups from any background, whether they are preparing for professional practice as artists or exploring and developing their creativity on a part time basis.
Financial Support
Each year we offer financial support to a number of students who are talented but financially disadvantaged (often younger ones) so that they may benefit from the figurative art education which is provided by Heatherleys. We have set aside school funds to provide bursary assistance which is awarded each year for this purpose.
The John Walton Student Support Fund is available to help Diploma students already in receipt of a Bursary but who find themselves in unforeseen difficulties. They may apply for help with travel or with living expenses so that they are able to continue with their studies. We have the enthusiastic support of Patrons and our Board of Trustees who are working to increase the leve! of support we can offer financially disadvantaged students so that they may benefit from a place on one of our Diploma courses. With their help in approaching donors, charitable trusts and foundations, we have been able to attract sponsorship for students who could not otherwise afford our fees. We are grateful to sponsors, including the Worshipful Company of Painter Stainers, the de Laszlo Foundation and the Golden Bottle Trust, who have donated funds to be used to support students in their studies.

Student welfare : The school has an important therapeutic function for some of our students. Although highly creative, they may be challenged by difficulties which are temporary or permanent and range from depression or bereavement to autism or include physical problems such as mobility or hearing loss. Our building is purpose designed and equipped so that studios and facilities are fully accessible for those with physical disabilities. Unsupported, these issues may interfere with the demands of an academic education and could lead to the abandonment of a course.
As a smaller scale academic community, we are able to help those who might otherwise struggle to learn in a larger, more impersonal university setting. They have been able to achieve their potential at Heatherleys, enhance the quality of their lives and develop careers in a broad range of arts related activities. Heatherleys has developed and advertises our firm policy of inclusion for disadvantaged students and under-represented minority groups. We welcome a diverse range of students who, although faced with physical or mental health difficulties or challenged by issues concerning identity, can fully enjoy and benefit from our teaching.
In 2020/21 we continued our support for students whose learning was disadvantaged due to physical disability or issues of mental health or identity.
-
e Our Student Support Officer worked with class tutors in order to identify and include students who required individual support. She was able to guide tutors to an understanding of the particular challenges an individual student might face so that they would be better equipped to help them with their learning.

Overview
Although the Coronavirus pandemic continued to have a major impact on schools and universities throughout Britain during 2020/21, Heatherleys was fortunate in that we were able to open the school to students in September 2020 for the start of the Autumn term. We benefit from modern airy studios with high ceilings and every effort was made to maintain a safe working environment for our students in order to inspire their confidence and to secure a safe future for the school. We were grateful that school staff, supported by government furlough arrangements throughout the closure, were able to return to school for the Autumn term as planned. Outreach partnerships, school exhibitions, public lectures and talks which would normally engage our local community, were curtailed.
Enrolments for the autumn term were inevitably affected as some students were shielding and others cautious about using public transport. In order to maintain social distancing, student numbers for Diploma and part time classes were restricted to eight students instead of our usual twelve. It was encouraging to see the majority of courses fully enrolled and an extremely positive atmosphere in the school.
National restrictions due to the Pandemic closed the school again in Spring 2021. Part time students were offered a choice of refund or deferral for courses of twelve weeks previously booked. Online courses in painting, drawing, printmaking and art appreciation were popular and we supported students working at home with online tutorials. We launched Heatherleys’ Lockdown Gallery on our website, giving students working from home the opportunity to exhibit and share their artwork with others.
Diploma students worked at home during Lockdown to an online project programme devised by their Course Directors. Portrait and Sculpture Diploma students were particularly impacted as their course specifies that a large part of their study will focus on direct observation from the human figure in the studio. Every effort was made to present the syllabus of the course, replacing studio work with equivalent project work online. We provided one-to-one online tutorials, art history lectures and online teaching contact hours which would support students studying at home, often in difficult circumstances.

We implement the requirements of the Data Protection Act (May 2018) ensuring that the confidential data we collect is safeguarded and secure. We communicate the ways we use, protect and store data, publicising our legally approved Data Protection Policy by means of Heatherleys’ website.
Public benefit statement
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PD2). The achievements and activities above demonstrate the public benefit arising through the Charity’s activities. FINANCIAL REVIEW The Accounts showa deficit for the year ended 31st August 2021 of £63,690 (2020 - £108,923), this is after including a depreciation charge on the school building at 75 Lots Road of £99,136. The financial position at the year end revealed by the Balance Sheet on page 16 shows net current assets or working capital of £732,191 (£818,216). The net book value of tangible fixed assets held all of which are used directly for charitable purposes, amounted to £3,661,407 (2020 - £3,763,943). The market value of investments were £1,053, 380 (2020 - £928,509). We are an independent college, solely reliant upon student fees to finance our operations and any surplus income is invested to provide a return that will replenish our bursary fund which enables students to benefit from receiving a Fine Art education they otherwise may not have had an opportunity to study.

Principal Funding Sources
Principal funding sources are donations and income from student fees.
Investment powers and policy
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have determined that a mix of investments to generate income combined with cash deposits to ensure that we can meet our requirements.
The trustees have determined to maintain the most appropriate policy for investing funds is to:
-
a) invest with Ruffer LLP, Cazenove and maintain some funds on deposit with Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) in conjunction with Scottish Widows Plc.
-
b) ensure sufficient funds are held in deposit and current accounts to provide for working capital requirements.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have established a policy whereby the reserves of the charity are maintained at a level to enable the continued operation of its activities. It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain free reserves at a level equivalent to at least six months running costs to enable the Charity to meet its obligations in the short term together with funds to cover any unforeseen deficits or revenue shortfalls. In setting this policy the Council of Trustees takes account of the following factors:
-
1 Staff contracts: maximum period of notice for staff contracts is three months. The school has long-serving staff and this affects the maximum amount of statutory redundancy payable.
-
2 Commitments: The school has contracts with maintenance companies to ensure the safe use and maintenance of lifts, equipment and the upkeep of the school.
Six months running costs are calculated on the basis of projected expenditure, with no allowance made for projected income. The current reserves amount fixed by The Thomas Heatheriey Educational Trust Ltd is £503,589.
The unrestricted funds not designated or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity are £664,564 (2020 - £620,473).
As at the year end accounts showed reserves of £5,446,978 (2020 - £5,510,668) of which £35,605 (2020 - £33,935 was restricted. In addition, the Trustees have set aside designated funds totalling £1,085,402 (2020 - £1,092,377) for three specific purposes: a designated bursary fund, a designated building maintenance fund and a designated new building fund.
Bursary Fund
This fund was initially set up to assist with the provision of at feast two bursaries per year to gifted students who would otherwise be unable to afford to attend the Diploma Course; due to an increase in demand for bursary assistance and to enable us to fulfil our charitable role as a provider of art education the Trustees have significantly increased the level of Designated Bursary Funds with a view to offering at least six bursaries a year for the next five years. Four bursaries were awarded in the academic year 2020/21 and the balance of the unrestricted Bursary Fund is £87,286 (2020 - £94,261) and the restricted Bursary Fund is £27,557 (2020 - £25,037) The Trustees decided in 2016 to replenish the Bursary Fund annually by transferring 6% of surplus income over expenditure before deducting building depreciation to the Bursary Fund with a view to sustaining a healthy and vital fund.
Building Maintenance Fund
The School moved into a new purpose built building at 75 Lots Road in 2008 and a designated School Maintenance Fund has since been created to provide for major upkeep and repairs to the building. The School Building Manager has prepared an estimate of costs for essential major future building costs to plant and equipment and upkeep such as replacing plant and equipment as it becomes obsolete, the current Fund has a value of £255,000, there was no movement on this fund during the year as the school did not require any major expenditure on upkeep or plant and equipment.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2021
New Building Fund
In order to fulfil the School's charitable aims and better to meet increasing demands on art education, the Trustees have considered the scope to extend the capacity of its facilities. Extant plans prepared in 2008 for the building of third floor studios would provide for additional classes. The cost of such extension is considerable and the Trustees would seek sponsors to match funding contributed by the School on an as yet to be defined basis, estimated total costs of a new studio is £3,000,000.
The New Building Fund has a balance of £743,116 (2020 - £743,116)
There is also a restricted fund, The Prize Fund, from which prizes are awarded annually to talented students, the current value of the Prize Fund is £8,048 (2020 - £8,898) The Charity has adequate cash reserves and the trustees believe that the school can fulfil its day-to-day obligations.

The role and contribution of volunteers
During the year no volunteers were used to support the work of the paid staff.
Staff
Heatherley’s prides itself on its dedicated and experienced lecturers and tutors, all of whom are actively practising artists, and many of whom have been with the School since the 1970s. In any academic year the number of those teaching will be in the high twenties.

-
*« An annual review of the risks the charity may face; e The establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the plan; and
-
e The implementation of procedures designed t minimise any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
This work has identified that financial sustainability is the major financial risk for the charity, it is imperative that we sustain our Bursary Fund through fundraising to enable the school to offer bursary assistance to students. Attention has also been focussed on non-financial risks arising from fire, health and safety of students and staff. A key element in the management of financial risk is via a reviewed reserves policy and the retention of sufficient working capital.

We are independent of the company 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 directors’ 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 [entity]'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 directors 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 auditors report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
e The information given in the directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements: and
-
e The directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF (Cont/d) THE THOMAS HEATHERLEY EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ 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:
-
¢ adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us;
-
e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns;
-
e certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by jaw are not made;
-
e we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit;
Responslbilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statements set out on page 11, the directors. 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 directors 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 directors are responsible for assessing the company'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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s 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 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.
Discussions were held with, and enquiries made of, management and those charged with governance with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.
The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:
-
e Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting standards, Company Law, Tax and Pensions legislation, and distributable profits legisiation.
-
e lt is considered that there are specific laws and regulations concerning food and health for which noncompliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the business.
Informed management has taken appropriate steps to ensure that all parties involved in the operations from point of supply to delivery to the end users are conducted in such a manner that there are no breach of regulations as applicable in this industry. The quality of the products, product integrity, food safety and the involvement of product and service providers are continually being assessed to ensure that they have the protocols in place to deliver a consistently high-quality product every time.
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of board minutes; testing the appropriateness of entries in the nominal ledger, including journal entries; reviewing transactions around the end of the reporting period; and the performance of analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
14
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF (Cont/d)
THE THOMAS HEATHERLEY EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
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 company'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 company's members 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 company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE THOMAS HEATHERLEY EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2021
1, ACCOUNTING POLICIES 1.1 Basis of preparation of accounts
The financial statements have been prepared 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) (effective 1 January 2019), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Thomas Heatherley Educational Trust Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 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 accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
1.2 Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis The Charity's Financial Statements show net expenditure of £63,690 for the year and free reserves of £664,564. The trustees are of the view that these results have secured the immediate future of the Charity for the next 12 to 18 months and on this basis the Charity is a going concern.
1.3 Income
-
Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and amount can be measured reliably. (a) Income received by way of donations and legacies are included in full in the Statement of Financial (b) ActivitiesLegacies whenentitlementreceived,is takenunless theyas therelateearlier to aof specifiedthe datefutureon whichperiod,either:in whichthe casecharity theyis areaware deferred.that the probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Charity that the distribution is made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. No legacies were received during the year.
-
(c) Income from charitable activates in the form of school fees are recognised as earned (as the related goods and services are provided) under contract. Fees received in advance of the subsequent education year are recognised as deferred income until the following year.
-
(d) Shop income and car parking income is recognised as earned (that is, as the related goods or services are provided).
-
(e) Investment income is included when receivable.
1.4
Volunteers and donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time is not recognised and refers to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution. No such contributions were received during the year.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. No such donations were received during the year.
19
THE THOMAS HEATHERLEY EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2021
1.5 Expenditure recognition and irrecoverable VAT Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
(a) Cost of raising funds comprises of the costs of running the shop and other fundraising activities and their associated support costs.
-
(b) Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs directly associated with running an arts school, to further the purposes of the Charity and their associated support costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
1.6 Allocation of support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back-office costs, finance and administration personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity’s programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The basis on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 7.
1.7 Funds structure
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the Charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the Charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the Charity.
1.8 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets (excluding investments) are stated at cost less depreciation. The cost of minor additions or those costing less than £500 are not capitalised. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write of the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold buildings - Straight line over fifty years Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 25% reducing balance
1.9 Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The Charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
The Council has agreed an /nvestment Policy.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2021
1.10 Realised / unrealised gains and losses
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.11. Stock
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
1.12 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term cash deposits.
4.13 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.
1.14 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.15 Taxation
The Charity is a registered charity and, therefore, is not liable for Income Tax or Corporation Tax on income derived from its charitable activities, as it falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities.
1.16 Pension
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme on behalf of its employees. Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they are payable. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund.
1.17 Operating leases
The Charity classifies the lease of copier as an operating lease. The rentals are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the lease duration. No assets are held under hire purchase agreements.
1.18 Judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the charity is required to make judgments, 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.

The Charity initially identifies the costs of its support functions. It then identifies those costs which relate to the governance function. Governance costs and other support costs are apportioned separately between charity’s key activities undertaken (see note 6) in the year. All the general support and governance costs have been apportioned to the various charitable activities on the basis of staff time allocated to each activity.

Description, nature and purpose of restricted funds:
Prize Fund: Funds received to provide prizes.
Bursary Fund: Funds received to provide prizes.
Description, nature and purpose of unrestricted funds:
General funds:
General fund represents funds available to spend at the discretion of the Trustees after allowing for all the designated funds.
Purposes of Designated Funds:
Bursary Fund This fund was initially set up to assist with the provision of at least two bursaries per year to talented students who would otherwise be unable to afford to attend the Diploma Courses; due to an increase in demand for bursary assistance and to enable us to fulfil our charitable role as a provider of art education it is appropriate to significantly increase the level of Designated Bursary Funds with a view to offering at least six bursaries a year for the next five years. Trustees and staff are currently seeking major funding from potential sponsors to enable such increases to be maintained.
Building Maintenance Fund: The School moved into a new purpose built building at 75 Lots Road in 2008 and the Trustees have decided to create a designated School Maintenance Fund to provide for major upkeep and repairs to the building. The School Building Manager has prepared an estimate of costs for essential major future building costs to plant and equipment and upkeep such as replacing plant and equipment as it becomes obsolete.
| New Building Fund: | In order to fulfil the School’s charitable | aims and better | to meet increasing | to meet increasing | demands on |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| art education, the Trustees have considered the scope to extend the capacity of its facilities. | Extant plans | ||||
| prepared in 2008 for the building of a third floor studio would | provide for additional classes. | The cost of such | |||
| extension is considerable and the Trustees would seek sponsors to match funding contributed by the School | |||||
| on an as yet to be defined basis. The estimated total costs of proposed new studios are £3,000,000. | |||||
