The Governors are involved in soliciting funds from within the Jewish community and further afield where applicable. This enables the charity to educate girls whose parents are unable to afford fees. Since the beginning of the year the object of the charity is to raise funds to assist the day to day running of Beis Yaakov High School.

Grantmaking policies

Grants over £1,000 made during the year to institutions are detailed in the accounts.
The application of the funds by way of grants to either institutions or individuals and is almost always by institutions.
The trustees consider the shorter-term and longer-term aims to be the same and assess the achievement of the charity in both respects the same way.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

It is the aim of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level sufficient to enable it to continue to operate and meet its day to day running costs.
The reserves stand at £76,176 which is all attributable to the unrestricted fund.
FUTURE PLANS
The trustees expect future performance will be affected by the increasing cost of education and the related increasing demand on charity's resources. The expectation is that the current economic climate, will make fundraising harder. In order to manage this risk, the charity will be planning special fundraising campaigns.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Jewish High School for Girls
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Jewish High School for Girls
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Jewish High School for Girls (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
