The Governors present their annual report together with the audited financial statements for the year from 1 August 2019 to 31 July 2020. The Governors confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the 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 (FRS 102).

GOVERNORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020

In line with its aim to offer all pupils a broad and balanced education, Derby High School offered a range of cocurricular activities to all ages. The school considers co-curricular activities to be a vital part of the overall delivery of its educational objectives. Music, Drama, Art and Sport are particularly strong across both the Primary and Senior Schools. All four areas provide outstanding opportunities beyond the curriculum for pupils. The school has a thriving Duke of Edinburgh’s award scheme offering Bronze, Silver and Gold with large participation rates each year. The School also enjoyed success in a number of activities including the prestigious Engineering Education Scheme and Go4Set. The support of the staff for such a wide range of co-curricular accomplishment is a real strength of the school. The Primary School continues to offer one trip per year group, per term and residential opportunities from Year 3 onwards, including a trip to France for the Y6 pupils, although unfortunately due to Covid restrictions all but the Year 3 residential were cancelled. Senior students enjoyed a wide range of co-curricular trips which included a Geography trip to Iceland and a 10 day visit to Kolkata, India to work with the Cathedral Relief Project. Key charities supported this year included Children in Need, Jeans for Genes and Derby City Mission. Activate Sport uses our facilities for their programmes, benefiting external pupils as well as our own.

During the national closure of schools in the summer term due to COVID-19, the school continued to provide a full and varied educational offering to all pupils. Due to its robust and strong underlying financial position this enabled the School to offer a market leading 30% discount on final term fees. For both Junior and Senior students MS Teams was used to support pupil learning and to provide feedback to classwork and homework. Primary pupils received daily story time read by a variety of Primary and Senior teachers. The school provided strong academic and pastoral care along with co-curricular and super-curricular enrichment. In addition the school provided in-school key worker provision for pupils throughout the Easter holiday and the summer term, ensuring that parents who were front line workers in the fight against Covid were able to continue this important work whilst having child care support where needed. Ongoing educational provision for students who have to self isolate will be live lessons through MS Teams.

Public benefit policy

The Governors consider that they have complied with the public benefit guidance by continuing to operate the School's own 'Assisted Places Scheme' to ensure that gifted children will not be barred from attending the School due to parental financial hardship.

The object for which the School is established is to advance education and training, by the provision and conduct of co-education for pupils aged 3-18. The principal object is met by the provision of an educational environment that will develop to the full the talents of able pupils. In setting objectives and planning activities, the Governors have given due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit on advancing education and on fee charging. Fees are set by reference to a detailed budgeting process undertaken each year, based on the need to ensure the provision of a first class education environment for the pupils and the continued financial viability of the School in both the short and long term. In discussions surrounding the setting of fees, any Governor who has family members attending the School must declare that interest and not participate in the final decision regarding the level of fees charged.

The School continues to make various awards of Scholarships, Bursaries and Remissions. These awards are granted on the basis of educational ability or on the basis of financial assessment under the parental financial hardship scheme or under the current remission scheme. A Committee of Governors approves all awards. The awards during the period were £434,379 (2019 - £399,696).

School facilities are available for local voluntary organisations and local residents. The Sports Hall is used for junior football leagues, local community leagues, local sports clubs and local community groups. The School acts as a public access centre for music examinations. Pupils work in local primary schools and charitable organisations through the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme and Work Experience placements.

GOVERNORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Governors have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

Reserves policy

The total unrestricted funds amount to £6,628,319 (2019 - £6,349,225). A total of £5,045,419 (2019 - £5,168,661) has been deployed as part of the School premises and equipment. Funds designated for future projects are as detailed in the notes to the financial statements. These projects will be undertaken when the opportunity arises, thus with no fixed timescale in mind, but for which for the time being the Governors consider it prudent to retain sufficient finance to meet day to day working capital needs in the absence of free reserves.

The School considers that the appropriate level of free reserves which are not invested in fixed assets should ideally be equivalent to one term's expected expenditure, approximately £2,000,000.

The School's policy is, therefore, to continue to build up reserves by means of annual operating surpluses, including the judicious management of investment assets. Consideration is also given to future capital projects that may be required to ensure the School's facilities are maintained to a high standard.

Major Property Fund

A provision for anticipated major property repair expenditure in future years is maintained. Any movement on this provision will be adjusted for through unrestricted general funds.

Assisted Places Fund

The income from this fund is used to support scholarships granted to parents suffering financial hardship.

The Foundation Fund

This fund represents the net assets of the 1921 Trust on its commencement, to provide and promote the advancement of education, which were gifted to the School on 1 September 1992.

The main assets gifted were the School's premises, which have since been extended and improved.

The School, as set out in its Memorandum and Articles of Association, is unable to distribute any excess assets on its winding up or dissolution. All net assets must be used by or transferred to a similar body for the provision and advancement of education.

Investments policy

The Governors' investment policy is to maximise income and capital growth whilst at the same time spreading the risk.

Funds are deposited in short term low risk investments to give readily available access to funds as and when required.

The performance of the investments is disclosed in note 12 of the financial statements.

GOVERNORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Constitution

The Charity is incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 as a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Articles of Association. The members of the Company are the Governors named on page 1.

The Charity was established in 1991 to take over the previous School trust and is registered with the Charity Commission under charity number 1007348. The School was originally founded in 1892.

The principal objective of the Charity is the promotion and advancement of co-education.

There have been no changes in the objectives since the last annual report.

Method of appointment or election of Governors

The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Governors who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. The School's Articles of Association can be found duly filed on the Charity Commission website.

Foundation Governors are not required to retire by rotation. Following retirement, the remaining Foundation Governors, at their discretion, appoint further Foundation Governors.

Co-opted Governors are appointed at the Board of Governors' discretion for a term not exceeding five years, but are eligible for re-appointment for such further term or terms as the Board of Governors shall in its discretion decide.

The Head leads the School through the next period of its development, building on our 125 year history and promoting the ethos and profile of the School. She leads with passion, vision and energy, and continues to develop the quality of the academic, pastoral and co- curricular provision to enable all our pupils to thrive.

Policies adopted for the induction and training of Governors

New Governors undergo a comprehensive induction and training process once appointed to the board. All Governors receive a manual produced by AGBIS entitled "Manual of Good Practice for Governors of Independent Schools" and are provided with ongoing training each year.

Organisational structure and decision making

The full Board of Governors meet at least once each term to ensure the effective governance of the School. Sub-committees report to the full Board.

The overall educational needs of the School are administered by the Head on a day to day basis.

The Bursar carries out the financial management of the School on a day to day basis along with all noneducational matters, and the strategy is overseen by the Finance and General Purposes Committee.

GOVERNORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020

Key Management Personnel

The Governors consider that they, together with the Head, the Bursar and those on the Leadership Scale comprise the Key Management Personnel. The Governors give of their time freely and the pay and remuneration of the Head and the Bursar and the senior staff is set by the Finance and General Purposes Committee, and approved by Full Board, and is kept under annual review; as are all staff salaries. A number of criteria are used in setting pay:

Risk management

The Governors have a risk management process to assess business risk and implement risk management strategies. This involves identifying the types of risks the Charity faces, prioritising them in terms of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence, and identifying means of mitigating the risks. As part of this process the Governors have reviewed the adequacy of the Charity’s current internal controls. The Governors are pleased to report that the Charity’s current internal controls conform with guidelines issued by the Charity Commission.

A formal review of the Charity's risk management processes is undertaken on an annual basis.

The Governors have overall responsibility for ensuring that the Charity has an appropriate system of controls, financial or otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and to provide reasonable assurance that:

The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include:

Company law requires the Governors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Governors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Governors are required to:

The Governors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and 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 Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DERBY HIGH SCHOOL TRUST

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Derby High School Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 July 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, 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).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Page 10

DERBY HIGH SCHOOL TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DERBY HIGH SCHOOL TRUST (CONTINUED)

Other information

The Governors 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 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.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Governors' Report including the Strategic Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Page 11

DERBY HIGH SCHOOL TRUST

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DERBY HIGH SCHOOL TRUST (CONTINUED)

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Governors' Responsibilities Statement, the Governors (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 Governors 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 Governors are responsible for assessing the charitable company'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 Governors either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 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.

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.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company'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 charitable company'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 charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Derby High School Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2 Company status

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Governors named on page 1. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in the respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity.

1.3 Fees and similar income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Fees receivable are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided. Fees are stated before deducting bursaries, scholarships and remissions granted by the School.

Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Overhead and other costs not directly attributable to particular functional activity categories are apportioned over relevant categories on the basis of management estimates of the amount attributable to that activity in the period, either by reference to staff time or space occupied, as appropriate. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the items of expense to which it relates.

Governance costs comprise the cost of running the Charity, including external audit, any legal advise for the Derby High School Governors, and all the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements, such as the costs of Board and Committee meetings and of preparing statutory accounts and satisfying public accountability.

Fee remissions, allowances, scholarships and bursaries are included as an expended resource.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Charity's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity apportioned to charitable activities.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.5 Educational supplies

All educational supplies are written off in the year of purchase.

1.6 Leasing commitments

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities incorporating income and expenditure account on a straight line basis over the lease term.

1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

All capital items are written off in the year of purchase, except for items costing over £10,000, which are depreciated over their estimated useful life.

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities incorporating income and expenditure account.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is not charged on freehold land. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold property

1.8 Investments and long term deposits

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.9 Pensions

The School is a member of a multi-employer plan. Where it is not possible for the School to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for the plan as a defined benefit plan, it accounts for the plan as a defined contribution plan. The scheme is managed by the Department of Education.

The School operates a money purchase scheme for non-teaching staff.

Contributions to both schemes are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating income and expenditure account) as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Governors for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the School for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

1.11 Taxation

The School is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the School is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

22. Pensions

The Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) is a statutory, contributory, defined benefit scheme, governed by the Teachers' Pensions Regulations (2010) and, from 1 April 2014, by the TPS Regulations 2014. membership is automatic for full-time teachers and, from 1 January 2007, automatic for teachers in parttime employment following appointment or a change of contract, although they are able to opt out.

The TPS is an unfunded scheme and members contribute on a 'pay as you go' basis - these contributions along with those made by employers are credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.

The pension charge for the year includes contributions payable to the TPS of £516,301 (2019: £376,230). At the year-end £64,216 (2019: £50,375) was accrued in respect of contributions to this scheme. The School also runs a scheme for its non-teaching staff, which is a money purchase scheme. The cost for the year represents the School's contributions to that scheme of £12,495 (2019: £11,641).

VALUATION OF THE TEACHERS' PENSION SCHEME

The Government Actuary, using normal actuarial principles, conducts a formal actuarial review of the TPS in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and Employer Cost Cap) Directions 2014 published by HM Treasury. The aim of the review is to specify the level of future contributions. Actuarial scheme valuations are dependent on assumptions about the value of future costs, design of benefits and many other factors. The latest actuarial valuation of the TPS was carried out as at 31 March 2016 and in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and Employer Cost Cap) Directions 2014. The valuation report was published by the Department for Education on 5 March 2019. The key elements of the valuation and subsequent consultation are:

The TPS valuation for 2016 determined an employer rate of 23.68%, which was payable from 1 September 2019.

A copy of the valuation report and supporting documentation is on the Teachers' Pensions website.
