Sir John Maxwell School Trust
Annual Report 2020-2021
The Trust was set up in May 2019 with the objective of restoring an old school building in Pollokshaws, Glasgow, for community or related uses.
The Trust has 7 Board members and about 200 supporters (mainly social media)
The school was closed only in 2009. The building and land is owned by Glasgow City Council. Due to neglect and vandalism the roof is in very poor condition.
The Trust commissioned a Condition Report by ZM Architects in December 2019, costing £9000. This was funded by grants from the Glasgow City Heritage Trust and the Architectural Heritage Fund. This found that due to the poor roof condition there is extensive internal rot and damp. However the red sandstone structure remains sound. Renovation costs are around £5m
In March 2021 there was further serious deterioration of the roof. In October 2021 at the request of the Trust Glasgow Council agreed to fund a full Feasibility Study and Business plan for options for the building, at a cost about £19k. Early in 2022 the Trust commissioned EKOS Consultants to carry out this work and their Report is due in July 2022.

Respertlve responsibilltles of trustees and examlner The charlty's trustees are spOnsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charitles and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Art and the Charities Accounts (Scotlandl Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charlty trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10( I) (d) of the Accounts Regulatlons does not apply. It is my responsi bility to exam ine the accounts as required under section 44 { 1) Ic] of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attentlon. Basis of Independent examiner's statement My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation I l of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An exami nation includes a review of the accounti ng records kept by the charlty and a comparlson of the accounts presented wlth those records. It also i ncludes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures In the accounts, and seeks explanation5 from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedure5 undertaken do not provlde all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent examiner's statement In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention l. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: * to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44 (1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts ReoulatlDns, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and cornply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, In my opinlon, attention should be drawn In order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. l July 2022
