## **REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR**
## **Endowed Fund**
The Trust’s endowed investment portfolio experienced a net gain of £132,874 (2020: £19,922) during the year.
## **Restricted Fund**
During the year the Trust attracted restricted donations totalling £68,492 (2020: £87,017). Donations were received to reward academic excellence; donations have also been collected for future projects.
The Howard Wadsworth Fund and the David George Memorial Fund were both used to support one pupil in need of financial assistance to enable them to complete their education at Cheltenham College.
The David Harper Fund was used for the first time to support a pupil in need of financial assistance to enable them to complete their education at Cheltenham College.
The Trust released funds to restore Lunettes in the Chapel; to enhance the pupil areas in boarding houses and to fund annual prize giving. After accounting for expenditure on these projects and taking into account investment gains of £74,073 (2020: £10,472) the net restricted incoming resources for the year was £49,438 (2020: £47,003).
## **General Appeal Fund**
The Trust received unrestricted donations of £18,532 (2020: £41,868) to support the Trusts’ objectives. After accounting for running costs, grants made and investment gains of £53,729 (2020: £7,910), the overall net incoming unrestricted resources for the year was £47,246 (2020: £19,795 incoming).
## **Investment Policy and Objectives**
The Trust’s powers of investment of its trust funds are governed by the Trustee Act 2000. The Trust Deed allows for unspent income to be added to capital. The Selwyn Trust Endowed Fund is required by the donors to be kept in a high interest bank account. The Trustees keep under regular review the investment risks and performance of the Trust’s investments. Having taken professional advice, the Trustees policy is to place all available retained funds, other than those required for day-to-day cash management, with the Trust’s investment managers. The target is to achieve a combined total of 10% income and capital growth. The total capital growth during the year was 20.8% of which 2% was income (2020: 3% of which 2% was income). The target was exceeded. All investments held were acquired in accordance with the powers available to the Trustees.
## **Reserves Policy**
At the year end The Trust had total reserves of £1,973,563 (2020: £1,748,148) for the provision of financial support and prizes for pupils at Cheltenham College. There are sufficient reserves of income for each fund held to cover any awards made by the Trustees.
The unrestricted funds are retained to provide working capital and to provide financial support to development projects and other initiatives within Cheltenham College. Unrestricted funds totalling £24,907 (2020: £31,203) were released this year to support projects. However, reserves will continue to be accrued to supplement the restricted funds that are being raised for specific development projects due to be executed in the future.

## **(continued)**
## **Trustees Financial Overview and going concern**
The Trustees of Cheltenham College Charitable Trust are keenly aware of the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the UK and world economies as well as that of Cheltenham College itself. The grants paid out by the Trust are directly linked to either new donations received or to investment returns. As such the grants paid to Cheltenham College during the current year ending 31 August 2021, will not (in the view of the Trustees) undermine the long-term economic stability of the Trust.
Despite these circumstances, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They therefore continue to believe the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in preparing the annual financial statements.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The Trustees will continue to provide support to pupils from the Bursary Funds and expect to see additional funds raised to enable it to continue to provide support to Cheltenham College’s development plans.
The Trustees have agreed to allocate the following: up to £30,000 per annum from unrestricted funds to support pupil facing schemes; up to £5,000 per annum from the Leadership Fund and aim to retain £500,000 of unrestricted funds as matched funding for significant capital schemes.
The Trustees are continuing to prioritise the accumulation of funds for future capital projects.
The Trustees will pass over to the College the accrued restricted funds, appropriate to the projects the funds have been raised for, as they are implemented.
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently,
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP,
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Page 9
## **CHELTENHAM COLLEGE CHARITABLE TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the year ended 31 August 2021**
## **(continued)**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES (continued)**
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the provision and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **AUDITOR**
## **Statement as to Disclosure of Information to Auditor**
Insofar as each of the Trustees of the charity at the date of approval of this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the charity’s auditor in connection with preparing the audit report) of which the charity’s auditor is unaware. Each Trustee has taken all of the steps that he or she should have taken as a Trustee in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity’s auditor is aware of that information.
Approved by the Trustees on 16 March 2022 and signed on their behalf by:

## **Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Cheltenham College Charitable Trust**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Cheltenham College Charitable Trust for the year ended 31 August 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and Notes to the Financial Statements, 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).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 August 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
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 Auditor’s 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 UK, including the FRC’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.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
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.

## **Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Cheltenham College Charitable Trust**
## **(continued)**
## **Other information**
Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s 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.
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 inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees’ report; or
- sufficient and proper accounting records have not been kept by the charity; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, 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, 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.
Page 12
## **Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Cheltenham College Charitable Trust**
## **(continued)**
## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Acts and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in 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. Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.
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 auditor’s report.
## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud**
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011, together with the Charities SORP (FRS102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charity’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of income from donations and legacies, and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management, and the Audit Committee about their own identification and assessment of risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, designing audit procedures over income, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Page 13
## **Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of Cheltenham College Charitable Trust**
## **(continued)**
## **Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud (continued)**
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing noncompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Under FRS 102, no statement of cash flows has been presented, as the charity is included in the consolidated financial statements of Cheltenham College.

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions.
## **g) Creditors**
Short term creditors are initially measured at the transaction price.
## **h) Financial instruments**
The Trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently at their settlement value. See note 8.
## **i) Recognition of liabilities**
Liabilities are recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation that commits the charity to that obligation.
## **j) Governance costs**
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the Trust and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include statutory audit and legal fees.
## **k) General funds**
Income and donations received for the general purposes of the charity (income that is not restricted by the wishes of the donor) are treated as unrestricted and are available to the Trustees to allocate in accordance with the Trust’s Constitution.
## **l) Restricted funds**
Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with the specific restrictions imposed by the donors or which have been raised by the charity for a particular purpose. The full list of restricted funds is held in the Report of the Trustees.

Gains and losses arising on investment assets are disclosed in the Statement of Financial Activities and include realised gains where the investments have been sold and unrealised where they are still held at the balance sheet date. In both cases the gain is calculated with regard to the market value at the beginning of the year, or its cost if purchased during the year.
