  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Financial Reporting Standard 101

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when goods have been delivered to customers such that risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment. Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives: Computer equipment 3 years straight line

    Other accounting policies

    Inventories Inventories have been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. In respect of work in progress and finished goods, cost includes a relevant proportion of overheads according to the stage of manufacturing/completion. Deferred taxation Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the company's accounts. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more (or less) tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on current tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Foreign exchange Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.

Company activities and impact

Hands Up Education CIC provides free or not-for-profit teaching and learning materials, as well as teacher training, in Classical subjects. In the year to January 2026, we have provided support to our community as follows: Continued development of a secondary Latin school textbook course, Suburani, along with an accompanying bespoke digital learning platform. The profits from the sale of this course are being used to help support and develop Latin in schools, particularly in the state sector, which educates 93 percent of UK citizens. The course aims to shed new light on the ordinary people of the Roman world, provide an engaging introduction to the ancient world based on our most up-to-date understanding, teach Latin inductively through engaging stories, include extensive digital support to enhance students' learning, and work well for schools with a variety of teaching situations. Provided free or reduced-cost access to our digital online Latin learning platform for schools that do not have the funds to pay for the resources. Delivered multiple online training events and conferences for teachers in the UK and the US, helping to share best practice in teaching and connect Latin teachers, particularly during a period when many were isolated. Delivered a national in-person training event in London in summer 2025, attended by over 60 teachers. Continued to develop a range of free digital teaching and learning resources for Latin, Greek and Classical Civilisation and made them available on our website, www.hands-up-education.org, including our Primary Latin Course. Published the UK edition of Book 3, helping to support schools progressing to A level or those interested in reading thematically organised Latin literature. Continued work on the development of a new KS3 course in Ancient Greek, designed for students who have not previously studied Latin and for lunchtime and after-school clubs.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders are teachers, particularly those who wish to teach, or who are already teaching, Classical sub-jects. The Directors of the company have been developing resources for teachers for many years and have de-veloped new resources based on their long experience of talking with teachers. The in-person and online training events we have run, and the international teacher conferences we have at-tended, enabled us to continue to demonstrate our materials to teachers and to listen to their feedback. As we have developed new secondary Latin and Greek teaching and learning materials, we have continued to consult secondary school teachers on what kind of materials they would like to use in their classroom in the fu-ture. We consulted teachers from varying backgrounds at a wide range of events, as well as through social me-dia, direct email contacts and online surveys.

Directors' remuneration

The aggregate amount of emoluments paid to directors in respect of work done on Suburani was £143,186.58 (directors were not remunerated for any other services).

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration has been made.
