PENISTONE GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION TRUST Charity No 529458 ACCOUNTS FOR YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Report of the Trust Accountant to the Trustees
- This report presents the Statement of Accounts for the year ending 31st March 2025 and explains the main changes from the previous year.
Balance Sheet
Fixed Assets
-
The fixed assets are comprised of the school’s land, buildings, and the rental / investment properties. The net depreciated value of the fixed assets is £38.8m as at 31 March 2025 and represents a increase in value of £0.1m.
-
The increase in the net depreciated value of the fixed assets is mainly a result of the capital expenditure relating to Penistone ALC. This has been included in the revaluation of the school’s land and buildings by the Council’s Estates Department. The increase in value represents an unrealized gain.
Investments / Shares
-
The calculated value of the fixed investments as at 31 March 2025 is £235k, which represents an increase of £16k compared to 2023/24.
-
It should be noted that the above has no impact or bearing on the cash position of the Trust, in as far as it is an adjustment to the restricted / endowed funds of the Trust.
Current Assets / Liabilities

Comments:
Overall the accounts for Penistone Trust Fund are correct and show a true and fair view of their activities.
For information:
No depreciation is charged on the rental properties as they are classed as investment properties. Under IAS 40 Investment Properties allows properties to use the fair value model in which properties are valued at current market value (what someone is willing to pay for it at that point in time). When the fair value model is used no deprecation is charged. Should any of the properties become occupied by the owner the cost model should be used and depreciation should be charged.
