Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 August 2025

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods, usually when goods are delivered and legal title has passed. Providing the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transition can be measured reliably.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Property, plant and equipment is used in the company's principal activity for the production and supply of goods or for administrative purposes and is stated in the balance sheet under the historic cost model. This model requires the assets to be stated at cost less amounts in respect of depreciation and less any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value (which is the expected amount that would currently be obtained from disposal of an asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life), over the useful economic life of the respective asset as follows: Plant & machinery - 5 year straight line, Office equipment - 3 year straight line.

    Other accounting policies

    Foreign currency translation Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Company activities and impact

The company runs The Garden, which is a learning community for home educated young people, and has been running since February 2016. During the financial year 2024-2025 we benefitted the community in the following ways: + Provided a safe, nurturing and social environment for a group of local home educated young people, including some for whom school has been unviable for various reasons. + Offered educational activities to this group. + Allowed local low income and single parent families to access home education in a way that would be challenging without a project like this. + Raised awareness of the value of self directed education and the importance of young people’s rights through our social media presence. + Took part in peer to peer continuing professional development, through the Freedom to Learn network. + Supported other learning communities with advice.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are the young people who access the learning community, their families and the staff. The Garden holds daily meetings with the young people, during which we discuss all aspects of the project which affect them. They are empowered to be involved in decision making about how we operate, as long as it is safe for them to do so. The Garden regularly consults with the families about their experience on an ongoing basis. We make it clear in our literature that we encourage feedback and regularly remind them how they can do this. We respond to feedback by discussing as a staff team and, if appropriate, with the young people, with the aim of synthesising an outcome that everyone is happy with. We hold weekly team meetings in which staff are expected to give feedback about their experience and be involved in decision making about areas of operation that are either not safe, or not interesting for the young people.
