ANTHONY GELL SCHOOL FOUNDATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTS OF THE CHARITY, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANISATION OF OUR WORK
The objectives of the Charity, which form the basis of our allocations of expendable funds, are:
1). The provision of items, services and facilities at Anthony Gell School.
2). The promotion of the education of persons who are in need of financial assistance in the following order of priority:
a) persons who are attending the school;
b) persons who have at any time attended the school; and
c) persons under the age of 25 resident in the Parish of Wirksworth, and the surrounding villages.
The Charity has continued to carry out activities in pursuit of the above objectives and the achievements and performance during the year are detailed below. It is important to note that our help to school is for additionality in education provision and services, not for core funding.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
OBJECTIVES FOR THE YEAR
The ongoing objectives for the Foundation year-on-year are to continue to support the School and those related to it in accordance with the overall objectives stated above. This is principally carried out through the making of grants to meet specific requests which add value to the education and wellbeing of the students directly or indirectly.
In order to have the available funds to provide the above, the Trustees seek to work within an approved budget, and to : - maximise the return on financial investments held
-
maximise the revenue received through activities relating to the use of the Foundation's facilities/land
-
maintain the physical assets both in order to provide the best opportunity for income generation and also to mitigate risks relating to wear and tea r etc.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2022
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Core activities
The Foundation has continued to support the School, its students and ex-students through a programme of small grants as requested by the School and approved by the Foundation's meetings. These grants are for additionality in education provision and services, not for core funding. In the current year a provision was made for up to £14,000 to be made available for this purpose. Grants totalling £8,557 were made which fall into five main categories:
-
Individual Student Support : This is supporting students to attend various on and off-campus events. Total support = £590.
-
Small groups : Supporting initiatives and activities where students work together in groups. Total support = £nil in the current year.
-
School faculties : Funding programmes which address student needs within specific faculties and departments. Total support = £4,000. - Whole School Projects : To fund activities, materials and infrastructure which provide general benefit across the School as a whole. Tota l support = £3,967
-
Wider community : To provide grants to fund the development and financial assistance for young people and groups within the wider Wirksworth area. Total support = £nil in the current year.
The trustees agreed that no unspent money would be carried forward for approved items in the coming year.
- Restricted Income
Through the generosity of our supporters, the Foundation currently holds six funds which are restricted to specific areas of work under the terms of their donation. These are:
o Special Needs & Accessibility : £762 (originally £1,300)
o Art Equipment bursary : £150
o Archives : £1,255 o Outdoor education and sport : £1,100 (originally £1,600)
o Sports Hall Floor : Surplus funds raised towards the renovation of the Sports Hall floor are held to fund further improvements/access ories relating to the Sports Hall floor. In the year a payment was made of £966 to install barrier matting at the entr ance. The remaining balance is £829
o Sporting activities: £2,392. A donation from the Wirksworth & District Sports Group representing the balance of its funds on ceasing its activities. The request is that this should be "spent to develop or support sporting activities as thought best by the Fo undation".
Artificial Turf Pitches
The Foundation donated £70,000 towards the overall cost of £240,000 for the major all-weather full-sized floodlit sports pitch which opened in September 2001 following the school's achievement of Sports College status. Additionally, there are a 5-a-side pitch and changing rooms which were completed in 2005 at a total cost of £470,000. During the course of the year 2017-18, DDDC invited tenders from other parties to manage the Leisure Centre and Pitches with effect from the summer 2018. The contract was awarded to Freedom Leisure Ltd (FLL) for an initial 10-year period to 2028. The pitch rental income is collected by Freedom Leisure Ltd, who handle the bookings from the Leisure Centre, and this is handed on to the Foundation regularly. The receipts are treated as income held by the Foundation designated principally to address the maintenance and eventual surface renewal of the pitches. The receipts in this year totalled £62,056 (2020-21, £22,400), the significant increase reflects the impact that the end of Covid 'lockdowns' have had. Usage of the artificial turf pitches is estimated to have been over 49,500 in the year to 31 March 2022, which demonstrates the continuing opportunity they provide for the public as well as the School for exercise, health, well-being and enjoyment.
Environmental and Landscape Improvements
Works continued through the year to maintain the environment, especially perimeter areas owned by the Foundation. This included maintenance of areas of grass and shrubs/trees as well as planting around the car parks and pitches. We continue to use a local contractor, whose services were reviewed, under a tendering process, and renewed for a further 3 years in 2019.
The trustees are aware that there have been occurrences of Japanese Knotweed on Foundation land. This is a vigorous invasive plant species which is hard to eradicate. The Foundation - in its programme of control and eradication - is continuing to seek to follow the prevailing best-practice as a custodian of the environment and the people who interact with it, and will review this approach annually.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2022
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Swimming Pool
A local charitable trust was established to run the Pool and take over the management from Derbyshire Dales District Council. The Foundation is Landlord and the Trust was assigned the lease by the Council from April 2012. The lease runs until 2079 and the Trust has received on-going support from Wirksworth Town Council.
The Community Sport and Leisure Centre
The Leisure Centre was opened in January 2000 at a cost of £1.3 million of which £11,000 was contributed from the Foundation particularly relating to benefits to School. The Foundation subsequently contributed £5,324 towards an Emergency Access Road and £5,094 towards renewal of the main floor. In 2018-19, the Foundation contributed £18,450, with the Gell Friends contributing a further £2,000 towards the cost of resurfacing the Sports Hall Floor. The total cost of the work was £67,616. DDDC and DCC contributed towards this and further funds were secured through the application for grants to various bodies.
The Leisure Centre continues to be of great benefit and popularity for the School and the wider community with the old School Gym being part of the facilities offered. The Foundation granted a long lease to DDDC in 1999 until 2079. The rent is subject to review at 5 yearly intervals (the next review being in 2023) in line with the retail price index. The Foundation received £13,533 in the current year.
The District Council engaged consultants to advise them on options for the future management of its Leisure Service at 4 centres across the County of which this is one. This issue is also referred to in the section on Artificial Turf Pitches. In December 2016 DDDC decided to contract out their Leisure Services to a managing agent by Summer 2018. The Foundation had meetings with DDDC, and Derbyshire County Council for the School, about the appropriate legal agreements and a lease variation. Additionally, these meetings sought to ensure that effective integration of other sports facilities at the Hub on the same site is maintained, and that appropriate arrangements and hire rates would be ensured under new management for the hiring of the Pitches. As reported, the new management structure, under Freedom Leisure Ltd came into effect on 1st August 2018.
Unadopted section of Canterbury Terrace
The Foundation is the registered owner of the roadway at the southeast end of Canterbury Terrace in Wirksworth. The Trustees realise that, whilst the ownership of this land has no direct beneficial purpose to the charity, it is not currently a priority to seek to transfer ownership to any other party or parties.
The Trustees have put in place measures to maintain the roadway to an acceptable standard and have also installed signage to encourage members of the public to use the public footpath rather than walking on the roadway. In all of this, the Trustees will continue to establish and maintain good levels of communication with the adjoining 6 householders, with DCC and with Severn Trent Water (STW), as stakeholders.
Gift Aid
The Foundation is able to recover income tax on donations made under the HMRC Gift Aid scheme. This is handled by the Gell Friends who have identified £773 as recoverable against the current year's donations.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Governance
At the Annual General Meeting, on 28th June 2021 there were no changes to the membership of the Foundation, nor to the trustees acting as officers. Simon Hobbs, however, stood down as one of the Foundation's members on the School Governing body. He was replaced by Lee Shakespeare, who will serve alongside Debi Hedderwick
The trustees heard with great sadness of the death of John Thompson in January 2022. He served as a trustee of the Foundation for very many years and the contribution he made to the Foundation, to the Community and to the development of sports in the town was phenomenal. He will be greatly missed by many.
FUTURE PLANS
-
As the immediate effects of the Covid-19 pandemic have diminished, the Foundation has been fortunate to see revenue recover to higher levels than previously. That being said, the uncertainties in the UK and world markets mean that the trustees are careful not to over-rely on investment of revenue at present. As addressed elsewhere in this report, the Foundation seeks to adopt a prudent approach to both investment and spending strategies. Given these constraints, the Foundation will:
-
continue to operate according to our charitable objects and, within the approved budget, to provide funding to the School and those related to it as our core activity.
-
continue to review and develop our Investment Strategy to provide the best return whilst safeguarding the Foundation's assets in a prudent manner. Additional future plans are:
-
To continue to work with Freedom Leisure Ltd so as to continue to provide the best facilities possible to the School and other users whilst also maximising the revenue available to the Foundation for its core activity.
-
To continue our work with the residents of Canterbury Terrace, DCC and STW towards a viable plan for the future of the land which is to the benefit of all.
Plans for the academisation of Anthony Gell School
At the balance sheet date, and in the months following, the School Governing Body has initiated the processes which may lead ultimately to the academisation of the School, by joining the Embark Federation. The trustees are taking an active role: as a stakeholder; as a charity with charitable objects linked to the School and those who attend it, particularly those who are disadvantaged; and as the freeholder of the land upon which the School sits.
The Foundation has two Trustees who are appointed to the Governing body of the School. They are both taking an active part in the Governors' focus group and have contributed to the Governors' Success Criteria Document. The Chair and Vice Chairs of Foundation and the Governors have met regularly since autumn 2021, to discuss matters that will need resolution if the proposal proceeds. Trustees have had the opportunity to comment on the draft documentation being used by the Governors.
Trustees have had discussions with educationalists and with other schools with Foundations, that have gone through the academisation process elsewhere in the country. Trustees have researched published materials on the pros and cons of academisation. Trustees met with Embark's CEO and senior staff., in April 2022, to discuss how, if the proposal proceeds, Foundation's assets and activities will be protected, and how any concerns regarding the wider educational and social / diversity implications of the proposal can be addressed. Trustees identified potentially challenging issues, their likely impact and the extent to which they can be mitigated by the proposal. Trustees submitted their response to the proposal consultation in June 2022, the summary of which reads:
After much consideration and subject to the statements below, the Foundation takes the view that it agrees with the proposal for the School to join the Embark Federation.
We agree to the proposal because we believe that it is better to make a proactive choice now than to wait and be pushed into a less suitable Multi-Academy Trust in future, and on the basis that Embark will ensure that
a) the leadership team of the School has an opportunity to shape the secondary offer to secure the ethos and values of the School into the future
b) the Local Governing Board will have a high level of autonomy and that the Foundation will be represented on the Local Governing Board by two Foundation Trustee Governors
c) the future working relationship between Embark and Foundation will be secured via a clear Memorandum of Understanding so that positive and supportive ways of working are safeguarded into the future.
d) the assets of the Foundation will be suitably maintained and protected for use by the School and the community via robust and appropriate Leases and Shared Use Agreements, and that the conversion cannot take place until these are agreed

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2022
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Ethical Investment Policy and Approach
The Foundation reviewed previous investment and ethical policies in 2014 to identify issues by which investors might discriminate in making investments, including social and environmental as well as ethical in the pure sense of the word.
Charity Commission advice was that the interests of a charity's beneficiaries are, in general, best served by the trustees seeking to obtain the best financial return from its investments. Investments must be centred on the interests of the charity and not of the trustees. Thus, Charities should decline to invest in a particular company if it carries out activities which are directly contrary to the charity's purpose - e.g. cancer charity not investing in tobacco companies.
The main reasons for adopting a policy for Responsible Investment include:
-
Avoiding risks to our reputation
-
Avoiding the risk of alienating supporters, beneficiaries and staff
-
Avoiding conflict with the charity's aims
-
Using investments to further the work of the charity
-
Using investments to influence company behaviour
-
Addressing financially relevant social, environmental and ethical risks.
In the case of the Foundation, this is important as we relate to education and the interests of students at Anthony Gell School. Since the Foundation's beneficiaries are mainly children who attend the School, this means all students have an interest in our investment policy, both in financial and ethical aspects, as do parents and donors.
The Foundation decided to have a clear, simple but flexible approach on the following lines: We concluded that we should
-
avoid/limit areas such as tobacco, armaments, alcohol, pornography and gambling
-
favour portfolios including companies with good records in employee and customer relations, conservation of the environment and their dealings in countries where they operate. When investing we can ask to see Ethical policy statements and commitments so that we can make an informed judgement and seek reassurance.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Investment Strategy
Taking this policy forward into practice, our Financial Adviser reviewed our investments and needs in January 2015 and presented a detailed Review of Investment Strategy which was fully discussed and approved. Our long term strategy is a combination of equities and fixed interest funds invested in order to reduce the overall risk. Investment portfolios should be International (not just British companies with overseas interest) particularly in the US. We should not need constantly to 'fine tune' the actual investments. Our Adviser suggested that the broad allocations of investment should be as outlined in the Strategy, but with the authority of Chairman and Vice Chairman to modify it where they thought it necessary. Investments should either be with one major manager or a number of small managers. This is to ensure long term security and fraud prevention. Whilst the risk is relatively low, it does exist especially with the smaller managed funds. As returns at present are low it is important that fund charges are low.
Our Adviser's recommendations were accepted to invest in Epworth Affirmative Corporate Bonds Fund as the fixed interest fund and the COIF Charities Ethical Fund in order to provide diversity.
Trustees queried if the Foundation was bound to use the income of the letting of the pitches for future surface replacements. Legal Advice is that it was not locked into this. Our Financial Adviser explained that in effect, the fund could be deemed to be hypothecated as there is at least an expectation in the community that pitch hire money will be used in this way. It has been agreed that revenue from pitch hire should be monitored and, if there are any excess funds, these could be used elsewhere or added to investments.
The overall recommendation was to have 2 Equity funds one with Epworth and one with COIF and one fixed interest investment fund, also with Epworth. This was previously acted upon with £70,000 invested in the COIF Ethical Fund in March 2015 and £70,000 being transferred from the Epworth Affirmative Equity Fund to the Epworth Corporate Bond Fund for charities in April 2015. The fixed interest could start lower than 30% with pitch hire money being added from the letting of the pitches. We transferred a further available £50,000 from cash to the COIF investment after a review report by our Financial Adviser in January 2016 since all capital projects to that date had been completed.
We plan to continue to build this up with excess revenue from the letting of the pitches as available. At a further review in September 2016 we agreed our Financial Adviser's recommendations and invested a further £30,000 in the COIF Ethical fund, which can be accessed for appropriate spending in line with priorities. At 31st March 2022, our investments were valued at - COIF (Charities Official Investment Fund) - £284,488, Epworth Affirmative Equity Fund - £312,900 and Epworth Corporate Bond Fund - £168,904.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Having adopted a total return approach to investment as indicated above, the Trustees in consequence plan to spend each year an amount which when adjusted for inflation can, they believe, be sustained into the indefinite future by their capital resources. They will however make provision within that amount for future expenditure and contingencies which they believe should be spread over more than one year. They have accordingly set aside £239,561 at the year-end of past income which remains unspent at 31 March 2022 as a reserve. Its principal purpose is to facilitate renewal of sports facilities at the school which will probably be required again within the next 5 years and which it may not be possible to fund wholly from other sources
Charity property
Charity Property is defined in the Scheme as land and buildings at Wirksworth in the County of Derbyshire, being the Anthony Gell School and its playing fields. The land is vested in the Official Custodian for Charities by virtue of the Scheme approved by Her Majesty in Council on 13 May 1887 and an order of the Charity Commission of 26 April 1927 as affected by the provisions of the Charities Act 1960. We transferred an area of land and an outbuilding to the owners of Old School House and renewed a lease to Western Power for a Sub Station adjoining Nether Gardens. The proceeds (£1,000 in each case) have been invested. Our land holding was registered with the Land Registry in 2013. There does not appear any more scope to dispose of property.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Review
The Statement of Financial Activities shows net income on unrestricted activities of £57,698 before transfers and net income on restricted activities is £5,696 before transfers. The performance of the stock market has increased since 31/03/2021, resulting in an unrealised gain of £39,193 as at 31/03/2022.
The net effect of this is a surplus on the Income and Expenditure Account of £102,587. The overall funding for the year is 12.53% greater than the previous year.
At the end of the year, unrestricted funds total £275,944, which is sufficient to support the implementation of the charity's objects for the foreseeable future.
Total return order
As previously reported, we reviewed our financial and investment strategy and total return approach to investment which was approved by the Charity Commission who made an order dated 27 July 2006. This was subject to:
-
1) us confirming our initial value to be allocated to the Trust which we stated was £229,825, being the adjusted balance sheet value at 1 April 2004; and
-
2) clarification in respect of the future treatment of the property of the Charity, which comprises land and buildings at the Anthony Gell School; we gave details of property which had been sold since 1996 and indicated that the remaining property was being given a Nil value because it is needed for the school's operation;
-
3) we have fixed our percentage for allocation to the Trust for application (income) annually at 5% initially and that continues at this stage. We have continued the allocation for the Spending Plan on advice from our Financial Adviser. We have again received regular reports and advice from our Financial Adviser who has monitored and advised us about our investments in relation to their value and cash reserves. We have reassessed and retained the Epworth and COIF investments.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
School governing body representatives
There are currently 3 Governing body representatives in non-voting capacities at our meetings. They are Malcolm Kelly (Headteacher), Lee Stephens (Chair of Governors) and Rosie Harrison (Vice Chair of Governors).
Trustee remuneration
None of the Trustees received any remuneration for their services during the year. The amount of expenses reimbursed was £nil in 2021-22 for travel costs to our Financial Adviser (£nil in 2020-21).
Operational management
Hugo Lane serves as Secretary, on a self-employed basis. The post covers 3 principal areas of responsibility: administrative support; maintaining financial records and support to individual trustees by undertaking delegated duties on their behalf in their respective areas of responsibility.
Legal advice
Glenn McClenaghan from Derbyshire Legal Services Ltd continues to provide the Trustees with excellent and sound advice.
Financial and Investment advice
Peter Jones supports the work of the Trustees by advising on prudent, remunerative and ethical strategies for investment of the Foundation's financial assets.
Examination of the annual Financial Statements of the Foundation
Mills & Black Chartered Accountants were appointed to examine the Financial Statements for a further year.
Related parties
The Trustees are required to disclose transactions with related parties.
-
Anthony Gell School might be considered a related party by virtue of occupying the land which is the Foundation's principal endowment. For that reason it is declared that all grants made by the Foundation have been paid to a related party.
-
Gell Friends. Gell Friends were established in 2013. This is legally a part of the Foundation but has a separate management structure with similar objects (working for Friendship and Funds to benefit Anthony Gell School). Current funds amounted to £14,608 at the year-end, of which £12,696 is held within a special account in the Foundation's name for the use of Gell Friends in consultation with trustees. We have agreed their constitution and exchanged a document on how we should work together for the benefit of School and students.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
To this end, the Trustees review annually their financial regulations covering policies and practices to be observed in order to protect the assets of the Foundation and to mitigate risks to which it may become exposed.
The Foundation understands that this approach to risk management is ongoing and as such will continue to initiate new measures, as well as review existing ones, to reduce exposure.
The Foundation renewed their insurance for Trust and Trustees Liability, Public Liability (re: Property owned) and Legal expenses cover through Zurich Municipal for £774 (£774 in 2020-21).
PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT
The Trustees confirm that, under the terms of Section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011, they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance as published by The Charity Commission.
Historically, the Trustees have sought to support the core beneficiaries, under the terms of our charitable objects, through grants to the School and individuals. Additionally, assets have been sold or leased to create a medical centre, the Leisure Centre and sports pitches all of which assist not just the core beneficiaries but the greater public. During the year the Trustees have provided charitable funding, undertaken in furtherance of their charitable objects for the benefit of the public. These are highlighted in the report below.

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.
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.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
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.
