The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Our Vision

We believe that all children and young people should be able to feel safe, empowered to be happy and successful, and encouraged to follow their dreams.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide support and guide young people. This is achieved through dedicated youth work, bespoke education, mentoring, and coaching, all delivered within a nurturing environment by our team of highly trained, compassionate staff who genuinely care about the well-being and success of every child.

Our aims

Through our independent school, City United Academy, we provide a safe, healing, and deeply nurturing educational provision. We are specifically designed for young people whose learning pathway has been disrupted or who have endured trauma related to previous school experiences. We aim to thoughtfully accommodate the complex academic and well-being needs of those who have faced significant difficulties in mainstream education, particularly those with coexisting Special Educational Needs (SEN).

Our dedicated, highly skilled, and compassionate team specializes in providing the individualised support required for our students to find their own self-identity and truly flourish. We cultivate an environment where every young person feels profoundly secure, valued, and happy.

We are committed to creating a genuinely enjoyable and empowering learning experience where every student can gently overcome the challenges they have faced along their educational journey. Our shared values-re-engage, inspire, and nurture-guide us in maximizing our young people's outcomes, ensuring they step into adulthood feeling confident and resilient.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

Our objectives

In alignment with the Charity Commission's public benefit guidelines, this year we strategically prioritised objectives designed to instil profound self-sufficiency and life mastery in our young people. Our central focus has been on empowering students to cultivate deep confidence in their own abilities (self-efficacy). This empowerment is instrumental in fostering a resilient, positive outlook, leading directly to significantly lower incidences of stress and measurable reductions in anxiety. Ultimately, these foundational objectives have been crucial in establishing robust self-efficacy and high self-esteem, preparing our young people for future success.

Our programmes of work are fundamentally designed to promote safe and healthy relationships, ensuring no young person becomes unnecessarily disadvantaged or unsafe. We recognised that many of our young people have experienced a damaging 'revolving door' of services, often devoid of continuity and stability.

To combat these systemic difficulties, specific, focused objectives were established. The Charity adapted its programmes to directly improve outcomes for our most vulnerable young people and further enhance their essential life skills. This year, the effectiveness of these programmes has been significantly enhanced through targeted professional training provided to our staff, deepening their capacity to support these complex needs.

The impact of these enhanced programmes is specifically designed to improve physical health problems and foster better mental health.

The well-being of our dedicated team is recognised as foundational to our success and has always been of the utmost importance. The Board of Trustees and the leadership team relentlessly pursue the following core objectives:

- Comprehensive Well-being Support: Providing robust and accessible well-being support to all staff members.

- Empowering Voices: Cultivating an environment where every individual's voice is valued and heard concerning matters of safety and well-being.

- Operational Flexibility: Offering maximum flexibility in working arrangements wherever operationally possible.

- Maintaining Stability: Prioritising stability by committing to the objective of avoiding any job losses.

Since our successful Ofsted inspection last year, the City United Academy team has grown immeasurably stronger. We have capitalized on this foundation by enriching our staff with rigorous additional training and successfully navigating shared challenges (adversity). This collective growth has solidified our capacity to expertly address the increasingly varying and complex needs of our students.

The team's work continues to provide young people with the paramount opportunity to succeed in education. Recognising that many of our students have endured significant trauma, particularly trauma stemming from difficult school experiences, it remains profoundly imperative that they receive a therapeutic and nurturing environment. Our commitment extends beyond merely closing educational gaps; we provide a place where every young person instantly feels a deep sense of acceptance and genuine belonging, allowing them to heal and truly thrive.

The City United team possesses a profound understanding of pupils' varying and complex special educational needs (SEN). We deliberately engineer an environment where feeling safe, achieving learning goals, and having a secure sense of belonging actively dismantles barriers to learning, empowering our young people to overcome past adversity.

The team has successfully continued to build exceptionally strong, trusted relationships with the entire school cohort, characterised by mutual respect. This mutual respect is fundamental, as it effectively diminishes barriers to both social inclusion and academic progress.

Crucially, we have been able to increase the involvement of parents and carers in our work, fostering trusted partnerships that reinforce the progress made by our young people.

As recognised in our last Ofsted report, the team consistently establishes a deep foundation of mutual respect and trust between the service users and staff. This foundation is key to helping young people develop the crucial life skills and confidence needed to successfully transition to the next stage of their lives.

Following the recommendation from Ofsted to the Department for Education to extend the academy's cohort to fifty young people, which strategically supports future revenue growth, we have significantly enhanced our educational provision.

We have successfully continued to strengthen and widen our local authority reach, actively promoting our specialised offer to new regions. To date, we maintain robust working partnerships with our core local area authorities, and have successfully expanded our collaboration to include several key regional and distance partners across the west midlands.

Crucially, we are now able to offer young people the unprecedented opportunity to join us for a dedicated sixth form provision. This expansion not only allows new students, many of whom are experiencing a secure, accepting, and structured school environment for the first time in their educational journey. It also provides significant benefits for our existing cohort. they now have a longer duration to achieve their academic goals in a familiar environment, alleviating the significant anxiety often associated with transitioning to a new college or external setting.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES

Charity projects

Building on previous successes, City United has continued its core goal of improving life skills, notably by supporting the necessity of a healthy diet within a tight budget. The preceding lifestyle project successfully concluded with young people forming positive relationships, demonstrably improving their self-esteem, and greatly increasing vital life skills for a more secure future.

Despite not receiving any external charitable funding this year, the Trust has maintained its commitment to our young people within the Academy. We have successfully integrated and built upon the essential skills and positive behaviours initially developed through our charitable programmes, ensuring continuity and maximising the long-term impact on our students' lives.

Academic Achievements

It is widely recognised that a young person's emotional health and well-being profoundly influence their cognitive development, learning trajectory, physical and social health, and ultimately, their mental resilience in adulthood.

At City United Academy, we are fundamentally committed to promoting every young person's well-being to ensure they can achieve their full, unique potential. Our entire approach is dedicated to reducing the negative impact of trauma experiences and actively supporting positive mental and physical health outcomes.

This commitment is realised through a deep focus on understanding the pervasive impact of trauma and providing targeted support to affected young people. Consequently, we have engineered an inclusive, therapeutic, and intrinsically safe environment.

Our educational offer is meticulously designed not only to enhance academic abilities-allowing young people to be competitive in the world of work-but also to cultivate a foundational sense of belonging, transparency, and active collaboration. City United Academy continues to offer a vital life skills programme alongside its core academic pathways of GCSE and A Level qualifications, ensuring development is comprehensive and future-focused.

Our organisational expertise has expanded significantly, enabling us to now effectively offer an Early Years and Primary curriculum tailored for our secondary-age students who require foundational learning. We recognize that for many of our young people, achieving literacy and numeracy begins with revisiting these crucial first steps. This provision delivers a play-based and focused learning curriculum within a physically and emotionally safe environment. It is meticulously designed to teach the absolute foundations of learning, ensuring that every student, regardless of their age, has the opportunity to securely build the educational base they need to succeed.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Strategic Reinvestment of Revenue

All fee-derived revenue has been rigorously reinvested into the organisation to guarantee the continuous enhancement of our services and infrastructure. A significant portion of this strategic reinvestment has been allocated to Human Capital, emphasising the value we place on our team:

- Talent Acquisition: The employment of additional, specialized, and highly qualified staff to substantially enrich our educational and support provision.

- Talent Retention: The initiation of proactive strategies to retain our existing, experienced, and skilled personnel, including the implementation of comprehensive wage reviews and the introduction of medical cover.

- Professional Development: The provision of specialised, targeted training courses for our current staff to continually deepen their expertise and critical skills.

Infrastructure & Learning Environment

Addressing urgent, overdue repairs on the building and completing internal reconstruction to create new specialised classrooms.

A significant refurbishment of IT stocks to ensure up-to-date technology for learning.

The introduction of specialised 'pods' (quiet teaching spaces) to facilitate focused one-to-one teaching scenarios and enhance learning outcomes for our young people.

Financial Resilience

Building up surplus funds in the bank account to strategically cover the financial requirements of the year ahead and facilitate further investment to improve the overall service provided to our young people.

The organisation currently categorises its income into three main streams:

1. Direct funding for education services for students at the Academy. This is either through arrangement with Multi Academy Trusts (MATs) or through Local Authority Special Educational Needs Services. All funding received through this stream is used for educational purposes.

2. Restricted funds for charity projects obtained through application. All funding secured through this stream is used on specific projects that the charity runs over finite periods of time. Funding can be to cover the whole cost of a project or part of it, with some grants being combined to cover different delivery aspects of a project. Generous funding from BBC's Children in Need has supported several crucial projects over the last few years.

3. Unrestricted funds through donations from charitable trust. Unrestricted funds are used to supplement educational and community services that City United Limited provides. Examples can be one off costs, on-going operational costs or additional costs incurred from the educational service or community projects. These funds are vital to the work that we carry out within our community and allow us to adapt to the changing needs of our young people as we see best.

As a charity, City United Limited is exempt from tax on income and gains provided these are used for educational and charitable purposes in line with our charitable aims. Our charitable status entitles us to an 80% reduction on our business rates on the property we occupy for charitable purposes. The financial benefits we receive through these tax exemptions assist the charity indirectly to carry out its educational and community projects.

Investment policy

Our investment strategy prioritises the continuous enhancement of the physical and digital environment to optimize learning and safety. We have made significant capital investments in the academy's infrastructure, including major resources dedicated to cutting-edge IT equipment.

Crucially, we have invested in upgrading our internet connectivity to the highest available fibre standard to ensure that lessons are never interrupted by technical issues or poor WiFi performance. This enhanced digital infrastructure is further secured by the implementation of high-specification malware protection and robust firewalls.

To maximise individual learning opportunities and equity, we have also invested in upgraded, high-specification laptops for every young person within the cohort. Staff training remains a strategic priority, with a strong emphasis on continuous professional development (CPD) being prevalent across all departments.

We have invested in the procurement of high-quality external centres for physical activity, thereby guaranteeing students regular access to premium facilities and promoting a consistent, high standard of physical health engagement.

Reserve's policy

The Board of Trustees consistently monitors the charity's requirements for financial reserves in light of the main operational risks. Our established policy previously targeted unrestricted funds (not committed or invested in fixed assets) to cover 3 to 6 months of expenditure.

Through diligent management and effective fiscal strategies, the Board and leadership team have not only successfully maintained this policy but have significantly strengthened our financial resilience. We now hold at least 6 to 9 months of expenditure in reserve.

This robust position ensures ongoing sustainability. The Board continues to enforce stringent controls on costs as a key strategy for delivering sustained growth and providing stability for the future of our young people.

FUTURE PLANS

Moving forward, our strategic focus will centre on achieving a critical balance: maintaining the excellence of the charity's current provisions and services while ensuring the long-term financial sustainability and resilience of the organisation. A key priority is the proactive enhancement of relationships with our newly acquired local authority partners.

The team is implementing a strategy of measured and sustainable growth, working diligently towards securing the maximum number of young people while ensuring the uncompromising quality of our provision is maintained at all times. Furthermore, City United is actively seeking to secure productive partnerships with local vocational providers to strategically enhance and diversify the services available to our young people.

Our strategic restructuring has allowed for the natural creation of a highly bespoke and comprehensive curriculum. This curriculum now offers an unprecedented range of provision, from the foundational elements necessary for young people who are many years behind their peers, up to sophisticated enrichment opportunities at the Sixth Form level. Crucially, the introduction of the Sixth Form includes the establishment of strategic partnerships to facilitate high-quality apprenticeships and vocational pathways. This wide curricular scope is supported by the addition of highly skilled practitioners who possess specialised experience in these various areas, ensuring a seamless, trauma-informed transition for young people as they progress through each stage of their learning journey.

The Charity is proactively focused on revenue protection. We are continually monitoring and taking conscious steps to mitigate risk and secure the long-term financial health of the academy.

Adam Simcox, an independent financial advisor in the private sector, continues to support the Board of Trustees to stay strong by providing financial advice and guidance, throughout the year.

Our strategic development has successfully concluded our transition into a specialist educational setting. We now offer robust, trauma-informed provision equipped to fully accommodate young people with complex needs, specifically including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and severe trauma-related barriers to learning. This expertise ensures we meet the diverse needs of our cohort and deliver comprehensive, tailored support.

We uphold the principle of 'hard work + aspirations = success' by consistently investing in formal and informal educational support designed to build resilience and capabilities. Our mission is to leave no child behind, meaning our dedicated focus remains exclusively on supporting disadvantaged children, young people, and their families.
