Financial review
Business Review
The Trustees are satisfied with the results achieved foi the year, in what can only be described as quite
exceptional trading conditions, as a consequence of the Global Pandemic.
Due consideration has been given lo the impact this has had on both the operations and finances of the School
for a second year.
The principal focus of our attention has been on the quality of educational provision throughout in order lo
minimise the impact on our pupils. learning and We￿are.
The Trustees would like lo register thèir thanks and appreciation to the Head, Senior Leadership Team and
leaching staff for their tireless efforts, desire and willingness to adapt lo these difficult conditions.
Once again, pursuant of ils charitable objectives the School has continued lo support families directly affected by
the p8ndemic with the introduction of slruclured payment plans and where necessary direct bursarial awards To
a large extent these additional costs to the School were offset by a variety of Government inilialives, including, in
particular, the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
As previously reported the School has continued to Teslruclure its operating cost base which ni)w more
accurately rellecls the education provision and curriculum. Particular attention has been given lo the realignment
of the marketing and promob.onal activity lo promote the School "Brand Values. with the resullanl benefit clearly
seen in enquiry levels.
Pupi1 numbers have remained constant during this period, bul unfortunately. we hav8 not felt the full benefit of
the investment In our EYFS facilities given the difficulty in arranging tours of the building, and not being able lo
welcome parents to enjoy an insight into the School through our exciting programme ol Open and Taster Days.
The restrictions surrounding COVID directly impacted the Sports Centre which for a18rge period we were unable
to open lo the general public, with the resullanl imp8¢1 on revenue. Investrnenl has been made In a dedicated
Sports Centre Manager which has already resulted in a significant uptum in occupancy and enquiry levels
moving forward.
Finally. The Trustees are extremely grateful for thè ongoing support of ils benefactors, past Governors and
former teachers for their indication of and willingness lo support The School in what has to be acknowledged as
a challenging period.

regime and lake advantsge of the small companies, exemptions in preparing the Iruslees. report and from
the requirement to prepare 8 strategic report.
Responslbilitie8 of trustees
As explained more fully in the slalemenl of Iruslees. responsibilities. the Iruslees, who are also the directors ol
the charity for the purpose of company law. 8re responsible for the preparation of the financial stslemenls 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 ststemerils that are free from material misslolemenl, whether
due lo fraud or error. In preparing the financial 51alernents, the trustees are responsible for assessing the
charity's 2bilily to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Iruslees either intend lo liquidate the charitable company
or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative bul lo do so.
Auditorfs responsibilitles for the audlt of the financial statements
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misslalemenl, whether due lo fraud ol error. and to issue an auditor's report th81 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 il exists. Misslalements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individua15y or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

DERBY GRAMMAR SCHOOL TRUST LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF DERBY GRAMMAR SCHOOL TRUST LIMITED
We considered the nature of the Charitable Company's activities and its control environment. We also enquired
of management about their identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.
We obtsined an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework in which the Charitable Company operates
and identified key laws and regulations that-.
Had a direct effect on the delemination of material amounts and disclosures In the financial stalemenls,
which included the Companies Act 2006. lax legislation and payroll legislation., and
Did not have a direct effect on the financial slalements bul compliance with which may be fundamental
lo the Charitable Company's ability lo operate.
We discussed among the audit engagement team the opportunities and incentives that may exist w((hin the
organisalion for fraud and how I where fraud might occur in the financial stalemenls.
In common with all audits under ISAS {UKI, we are also required to perfomi specific procedures lo respond to the
risk of management override. In addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested
the appropriateness of a￿o￿ntIng adjustments and joumal entries, 8ssesseLI whether accounting estimates were
reasonable and accurdte and reviewed the accounting records for any significant and unusual Iransaclions.
In addition, our procedures to respond lo the risks identified included..
Reviewing financial slalemenl disclosures by testing lo supporting documentstion to assess compliance
with piovisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financi
slatemenls",
Perfomiing analytical procedures to idenlfy any unusual or unexpected variances that may indicate risks
of material misslalemenl due lo fraud.,
Enquiring of management about any instsnces of non-compliance with laws and regulations and any
instances of known or suspected fraud.. and
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governan￿.
Because of the inherent limitstions of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delect all irregularities, including
those leading lo a material misslalement in the financial slalemenls or non-compliance with regulation. This risk
increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events 8nd transactions
reflected in the financial slalemenls, as we are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. This
risk is also greater ￿gardIng ir￿guIaTItieS occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves Intentional
cOn￿alMent, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepiesenlalion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website al.. https'.11

A¢countlng policies
Charity information
Derby Grammar School Trust Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England
and Wales. The registered office is Rykneld Hall, Rykneld Road, Littleover, Derby, Derbyshire, DE23 4BX.
1.1 Accounting ¢onvontion
The financial statements have been prepared in accordan￿ with the Companies Act 20￿￿, FRS 102 "The
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" I'FRS 102"18nd the Charities
SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Slalemenl of Recommended Practice applicable to
charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK
and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102}" (effective 1 January 2019}. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as
defined by FRS 102.
The financial slalements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary
amounts in these financial ststemenls are rounded lo the nearest £1.
The financial slalements have been p￿Pared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the
revaluation of certain assets which are included at mafkel value. The principal accounting policies adopted
are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
Al the lime of approving the financial slalemenls, the trLJStees have a reasonable expectation that the
charity has adequate resources lo continue in operational exislenee for the foreseeable future. Thus the
trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial stalemenls.
The Board of Trustees has considered the impact of the ongoing global pandemic on the School operaions
and f1nances. Notably the pandemic has had a significant financial impact on its ability to let the sports
facility, which has been closed lo the public under government guidelines. However, the School has
mitigated the Impact of that closure through support packages provided by the governmenl and cost
reductions. However. the relatively small size of the School means that the ability lo pursue any support
packages through furlough or cost reductions are limited. The School's aim through the pandemic has been
lo ensure that the delivery of excellent academic Provision 15 not compromised, whilst protecting the
financial position of the School in these challenging limes.
The School has traditionally met its day to day working capital requirements through an overdraft facility of
£500k. Fees are only paid by parents on a lermly basis and as such that there is considerable variation in
the liming of cashflow. However, the School did not have to use the overdraft facility during the year to 31
JLbty 2021.
The School has prepa￿d cash flow forecasts for the period lo 31 July 2023 and ￿ntInueS to closely
monitor the impact of the pandemic on finances.
As at 31 July 2021 the Trust had nel assets of over £1.6m which has increased on the prior year. The
Board of Trustees acknowledges that nel cuf￿nI liabilities are £890k at the balance sheet dale. However,
included in creditors are bank loans of £718k that based on the final repayment dale have significant
increased the value of nel current liabilities this year. The bank loan facility has since been successfLJIIy
renewed. Further details are given in note 23.
The School also has key benefactors who have signified their willingnes5 to continue to Support the School,
although there is no expectation that this will be required based on forecast information.
