|**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).

## **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||
||increase accordingly the teachers’ remuneration. The early estimation for the year||
||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.||
|**Donated facilities and services (if any)**|None.||
||The Trustees are all volunteers and themselves parents of children||
||attending classes.||
