TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 August 2023 to 31 July 2024. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a Directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The primary aim of Snowflake School for Children With Autism Limited (''the Charity/School'') is to advance educational opportunities for children with diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
The most important aspect of education for children with ASD is improving their ability to communicate with others. The failure to communicate tends to lead to inappropriate behaviours which often manifest as tantrums, aggression and self-harming. All of these represent threats to children's health and safety. Teaching children with ASD to express their needs and establish meaningful social contact with people around them reduces their frustration and makes the inappropriate behaviours less likely, consequently improving their health. The School opened its doors to children with ASD in 2008. It now operates from two sites. The primary site has a capacity of eighteen students aged 5 to 11 and mostly operates at full capacity. The secondary site opened in November 2020. It has a capacity of 24 pupils aged between 12 to 16. The School has worked towards building stronger relationship with other schools, local educational authorities and organisations in the boroughs it operates to create opportunities for children to integrate in the community. The School has access to two local mainstream schools, local library, swimming pool and Nevern Garden (local gated garden). The primary site, rented from Notting Hill Housing Trust, comprise two garden flats in Earls Court, SW5, licensed and converted to operate as a school. The lease was renewed for 10 years in 2018. The secondary site, situated in London, W3, is rented from an individual landlord for a period of 10 years with the option of extending for another 10 years from June 2020. It is an ex-Salvation Army building and is over three floors providing good size classrooms, a soft room, a kitchen for pupils food technology and an assembly room. There is also a small outside area. The Charity spent £970,000 to bring it up to the standards required by the Department for Education in respect of disability, safety and fire regulations. Curriculum and Policies The School's curriculum, based on the National Curriculum, has been written but modified to meet the needs of pupils with ASD, as are all the necessary policies. The policies are kept up to date to meet the growing school needs, particularly to cover the students needs at the age range of 12 to 16. In order to have control over the admission process we decided to opt out of the requirement of Section 41 of the

Objectives and activities (continued)
Children and Families Act 2014 and the School has continued to be listed as an Independent Special School (England and Wales) since April 2008.
b. Volunteers
Achievements and performance
a. Main achievements of the Charity
Charitable activities
The School provides education for pupils with moderate to severe autism. It provides a specialist teaching environment that develops both the academic and social skills, thus providing each pupil with the chance for a better future and achieve their potential, whilst also improving the quality of their families lives. Teaching each child costs around £60-65k (2023 - £60k) per year. The Charity has been successful to fill all the available placements and cover the cost of educating pupils from the fees generated. Fundraising activities During the year £56,825 (2023 - £80,688) has been raised through fundraising activities and donors are as follows: Popli Khalatbari Charitable Foundation - £25,000 (2023 - £15,000) Padwa Charitable Foundation - £22,194 The John and Ruth Howard Charitable Trust- £3,000 Harapan Trust - £300 Ruebon Trust - £250 Jack Petchy Foundation - £900 (2023 - £600) Other donations - £ 5,180 - (2023 - £12,588)
b. Investment policy and performance
The Charity does not have investments. The trustees monitor cash resources and when possible short term deposits are used as a cash management tool.
c. Internal and external factors
The School maintains good relations with its staff. There is one to one tutoring for each pupil and in exceptional cases it is two for one. The staff are in close contact with parents and update them on a daily basis through the home/school book and Earwig, an app which enables teachers to share photos, videos and documents with parents. Some parents are also working privately to raise funds for the Charity. The School owns an app which allows it to provide detailed reports, videos and photos of pupils for their parents to access. The parents can also use the app to update the School about their child.
Employing staff remains very challenging and the School had to spend a lot of money on agency fees again this year. Mrs Akhavan, a trustee, looks to arrange different activities to raise funds for the School. There is a very friendly relationship between the trustees and the Charity take advantage of their expertise and experience. Local Education Authorities pay tuition fees for the pupils on termly basis. The School keeps in close contact with the Local Education Authorities and keeps them up to date with activities.

Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
Snowflake School For Children With Autism Limited is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The Charity is always looking for trustees who are not only interested in the cause, but can also bring specific expertise to the School. We first welcome them at a general meeting, then appoint them as non-executive trustees so they can join the board, learn about the School, get to know each other, and if all proves fine, they are invited to join the board as a full trustee. Directors/Trustees Rotation The Directors/Trustees to retire by rotation are usually those who have been longest in the office since their last appointment. If any director became or were appointed directors on the same day those to retire shall, unless they otherwise agree amongst themselves, be determined by lot. We have had trustees who have left. Some founding trustees are still members.
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
A bookkeeper is supporting her with the accounts and an assistant provides help with payroll. There are 42 tutors for one to one care of each child, five supervisors and six (three qualified, one newly qualified, one trainee and one non-qualified) class teachers. There are also an occupational therapist (OT), a trainee OT, a verbal behaviour analyst and one speech therapist. They are supervised by the head teacher who is supported by four assistant heads and three administrators. Every term the head teacher, Mrs Kerry Sternstein, and the bursar/trustee, Mrs Faryaneh Akhavan, present a report to the board of trustees regarding all the operational aspects of the Charity. The School was inspected by OFSTED in May 2023 and was awarded 'Good' overall, with 'Outstanding' in behaviour.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE OF SNOWFLAKE SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Snowflake School For Children With Autism Limited (the 'Charity') for the year ended 31 July 2024, which comprise , the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material

SNOWFLAKE SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE OF SNOWFLAKE SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM LIMITED (CONTINUED)
inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Trustees' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Trustees' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
∙adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
∙the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
∙certain disclosures of Trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
∙the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Trustees' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page , the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE OF SNOWFLAKE SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM LIMITED (CONTINUED)
accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
∙the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussions with trustees and other management, and from our knowledge and experience of the school and charity sectors;
∙we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Company, including the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 201, data protection, employment, and health and safety legislation;
∙we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
∙making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
∙considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
∙understanding the design of the Company’s remuneration policies.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
∙performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
∙tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
∙assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
∙investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
∙agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
∙reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
∙enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
∙reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators, such as the Charity Commission, and legal expenses incurred.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE OF SNOWFLAKE SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN WITH AUTISM LIMITED (CONTINUED)
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.
This report is made solely to the Charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
