## **Gateshead Jewish Boarding School** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 April 2025** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **Governing Document** 

The Charity was established by a constitution document dated 22 June 1944 and is registered with the Charity Commission, number 527371. 

## **Governing Body** 

The trustees of the Charity are legally responsible for the overall management of the school. The day to day running of the school is undertaken by the principal and the senior teaching staff. The principal is aware of the need to follow best practice and is actively reviewing the organisational structure of the school and the method by which new trustees are appointed. This ongoing review has concluded that the organisational structures in place are sufficient and robust to take the school into the future. The Trustees are actively involved in the running of the school and new Trustees will be appointed when and if the need arises. 

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees would be in line with the Trust Deed and with the consent of the trustees.  The criteria set for the suitable candidate would be someone who is sensitive to the needs and demands of the organisation. 

There is no chief executive officer.  The day-to-day affairs are undertaken by Mr B Z Davis on behalf of the trustees.  All major decisions are taken collectively by the trustees, and all the trustees give of their time freely.  The trustees are unpaid and details of any related party transactions are disclosed as applicable in the notes to the accounts.  The arrangements for setting the pay of the charity’s employees are the sole domain of the trustees. 

Training and induction of trustees is applied as applicable. 

## **Risk review** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trust and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage our exposure to the major risks. 

The risks faced by the trust are principally operational risks from ineffective running of the school. These risks are managed by the trustees ensuring the right staff are utilised and the right policies are implemented. 

Report back and review procedures strengthen these safeguards to ensure public benefit is achieved from all aspects of the school management. 

## **Group structure and relationships** 

During the year the trustees resolved to incorporate the wholly owned shares following Charity Commission guidance following an enquiry. 

The charity has the following wholly owned non-charitable subsidiary. 

- Ravenside Limited (Company number 08960350) 

The subsidiary is a property trading and investment company incorporated in England and Wales. 

## **Risk Management** 

The process of examining the risks to which the Charity is exposed is ongoing and the trustees are planning to further develop systems to monitor and control these risks in order to lessen their potential impact on the Charity.

## **Gateshead Jewish Boarding School** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 April 2025** 

## **Public Benefit** 

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on advancing education when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **Charitable Objects** 

The Charity’s objects, as set out in its Constitution, are to provide elementary and secondary tuition for Jewish boys of school age according to the standard required by law. 

## **Aims** 

The main aim of the Charity continued to be the provision of educational facilities to Jewish boys. 

## **Objectives for the year** 

This year, the focus has been on the continued achievement of academic performance. 

## **Principal Activities of the year** 

The school continued to provide educational facilities to 141 pupils. All subjects and classes are now streamed.  The teaching staff are employed by Ravenscourt Ltd, a company limited by guarantee, set up by the parents to meet the salary and pension costs of the teachers by way of grants and parental contributions; no surpluses are expected to be made. The Charity continues to meet all of the other costs associated with the provision of educational facilities. 

The out of hours school club has proven to be successful and is well attended. 

## **Grant making policy** 

The charity gives out grants in line with the above objects. 

There were no grants paid to individuals during the year. 

Grants made during the year to institutions are as detailed in the accounts. 

The application of the funds by way of grants to either institutions or individuals and is almost always to institutions. 

The trustees consider they have met the public benefit test and outline these achievements below. 

The trustees measure the success of achieving the stated aims by the number and value of grants paid out for each object.  The grants paid out in the year are detailed in the notes to the accounts and the trustees consider they have met their aims successfully this year. 

The trustees consider the shorter-term aims to be similar to the longer term aims and assess the achievement of the charity in the same way.

## **Year ended 30 April 2025** 

## **Financial review** 

## **Results for the year** 

The trustees feel that the activity reflects the profile and standing within the local community. The impact for future year's expenditure is self-evident, and the trustees would like to record their appreciation for all the financial support received from benefactors during the course of the year. 

The trustees exercised the exemption for preparing group accounts due to the group turnover falling below the threshold for consolidation. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Unrestricted and restricted funds represent the unrestricted and restricted funds arising from past operating results. 

The Trustees are satisfied that the balance of the funds is at an acceptable level of reserves given the nature of receipts against payables. 

The trustees have reviewed the level of reserves held by the Charity. The review has concluded that to allow the Charity to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer for uninterrupted services the level of reserves, being those not tied up in fixed assets, needs to be maintained at an amount equating to approximately six months of expenditure. 

The free reserves being the unrestricted net current assets stand at £233,866. At 5 April 2025 the charity held unrestricted reserves of £675,939 (2024: £665,279) 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report 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 & Wales 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 of the charity for that period.  In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and 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 sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and 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 constitution.  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.

## **Gateshead Jewish Boarding School** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Gateshead Jewish Boarding School** 

## **Year ended 30 April 2025** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Gateshead Jewish Boarding School ('the charity') for the year ended 30 April 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements 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.

**Gateshead Jewish Boarding School**

**- 11 -** 



## **Gateshead Jewish Boarding School** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 April 2025** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

- income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

- legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. 

- income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. 

- income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: 

- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. 

- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. 

- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. 

## **Tangible assets** 

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

**- 12 -** 



## **Gateshead Jewish Boarding School** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 April 2025** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Tangible assets** _**(continued)**_ 

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities.  A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Land and buildings - 2% straight line Fixtures & fittings - 15% reducing balance Equipment - 15% reducing balance 

## **Investments** 

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment. 

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure. 

**- 13 -** 



## **Gateshead Jewish Boarding School** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 April 2025** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Impairment of fixed assets** 

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. 

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. 

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units. 

## **Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. 

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. 

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. 

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment. 

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

## **Gateshead Jewish Boarding School** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 30 April 2025** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Financial instruments** _**(continued)**_ 

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised. 

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. 

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
