The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Income represents the total invoice value, excluding value added tax, of income received during the year.

Income is recognised in the following ways;

• grant income - this is recognised over the life of the agreement and therefore deferred at the year end if the agreement runs into the following year.

• teachers memberships - on receipt of the subscription

• training and development income - this is received in advance of a course being undertaken, if the course start date is after the year end, then the income is deferred

• for other services - according to invoice date.

Expenditure includes VAT where applicable as the company cannot reclaim all VAT as they have a partial exemption agreement in place.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to surplus or deficit.

It is the policy of the company that only assets costing over £1,500 will be capitalised.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are recognised at transaction price. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The company has obtained exemption from HMRC in respect of corporation tax, it being a company not carrying on a business for the purposes of making a profit. Corporation tax is payable on any interest income received in the year.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Rentals payable under operating leases, are charged to income on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease asset are consumed.

Critical judgments and accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

The main judgment and accounting estimates included in the accounts are:

In addition, the director G Cumming-Bell was a paid consultant between 1st March 2023 to 31st March 2023 and was paid £7,500.
