Structure, governance and management

Type of governing document Trustee recruitment and appointment	Our association is governed by its « Articles of Association des Parents Francophones de Glasgow”, which had been submitted as input document and accepted by OSCR.

Board members will be appointed at the Annual General Meeting. They shall be elected for a term of one year. Any retiring member shall be eligible for reappointment.

The Board members will be elected or confirmed by the members present at the AGM.
Objectives and activities
Charitable purposes
	The Association is a non-profit organisation which aims at promoting the advancement of French education for children having a connection with the French language and enrolled in the Scottish education system. The Association provides weekly courses taught by qualified teachers to accompany the child into reading and writing independently in French. Children should reach a language proficiency in French comparable to that of their English for their age level. The association has Charitable Status (SC045617 - Association des Parents Francophones) and as such will abide by the requirements and guidelines of OSCR. Specifically, accounts will be submitted on an annual basis.

Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects Our classes run on Saturday mornings (30 weekends per year) for 2 hours and 30 minutes. From 3 years old, children discover new games, listen to stories and express themselves in a French environment. From the Primary 1 level, we educate children to write and read letters and sounds specific to French and thus develop their learning ability, in a well-defined environment between children speaking French and a French teacher. At the end of Primary 7 level, children have developed a very good understanding of written French and can become independent reader in French and are also able to write a short text independently and confidently. For children starting high School, we developed a program preparing them to sit a Diploma in French Language Studies (DELF). 2 APPENDIX 1 Achievements and performance ~~tL~~	Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects Our classes run on Saturday mornings (30 weekends per year) for 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy	The main source of revenues are payments received from parents.
on reserves	Our policy on reserve is to maintain a minimum of £6,000 in our bank
	balance at the end of each accounting period (i.e. 30thof June of each
	year). This way, sufficient funds are available for initial spending on
	classes’ rental and teacher remunerations before we start receiving
	payments from parents’ contributions.
Details of any deficit	During the school year from July 2024 until June 2025, our association made a
	surplus of £4,481.
	The surplus is the result of a well managed annual fees increase for the weekly
	lessons. After a number of years where we maintained the school fees at a low
	level to support the cost of living increase (Covid impact), we agreed during the
	May 2024 AGM to increase slightly our fees (by £2 per weekly classes) in order to	May 2024 AGM to increase slightly our fees (by £2 per weekly classes) in order to
	balance the books.
	We had exhausted a grant received a few years ago as a Covid support by the
	French government (AEFE) of £5,232 and it was imperative to return to a surplus
	position for the weekly running of the school. This grant allowed us to stabilise our
	financial situation before making the necessary adjustment.
	The surplus of £4,481 is indeed the result of these annual fees adjustments which

	been proposed and accepted by the majority of present members in order to

	2025-2026 indicates that the school will make another surplus following a welcome
	increase of students joining our school at the start of the new academic year.
