SLINDON COLLEGE LIMITED GOVERNORS, REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTOR'S REPORTI (CO1lNuEDl FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGusf2025 Fundroising The College recognlses the vital Contribution made by its supporters, with voluntary donations beiig a small but valuable part of our incoming resoufces. We believe that giving to charity should be a positive expefience and to help ensure that this is the case we acknowledge the damaging impact an excessively aggressive approach to fundraising can have on vulnerable people, whether from unreasonably persistent approaches being made or undue pressure to give being applied and gat care is undertaken to ensure that such practices are not adopted by the College. To this end, all fundraising activity is overseen by our Senior Leadership Team and mainly carried out by FOSC. FOSC iaises money for the College through regular activities such as 8 Bonfire and Fireworks event, tombolas. organising a sponsored walk, cake sales and plant sales. All of these events are voluntary and advertised in a non-intrusive manner. The College previously applied for and was accepted by the Co-op Local Community Fund to be nominated as a cause to raise funds for a sensory room which was spent during this year on the Sensory Snug. The College does not utili5e the services of any external commerclal fundraisers. At this point, glven that the majority of the donations are from current and ex pupi15' parent5 and carers, local OfBanisations arKI people, the Governors do not consider It necessary to subscribe to a Fundraising Regulator. The College welcome5 feedback on its fundralslng approach and seeks to make improvement5 wherever it can. Any complaints ceiVed in respect of our fundraising activities are taken very seriously and are acted upon immediately. We are pleased to report that during the year no complaints were received in respect of our fundraising activity. Flnancial revlew The Statement of Financial Athvit5es shows a net surplus, before gains antl losses on investments, for the year ot £544,937 compared to 3 net surplus of £301,670 in 2023-24. This include5 non-cash expenditure in relation to depreciatfon of £56,722. The Principal source of income Is Stsndard College Fees. The Labour government's policy to apply VAT to School fees from l January 2025 led to the College amending its fee structure and rates. Despite this incrse Standard College Fees increased in the year to £2,420.314 compared to £2,242,402 in 2023-24 as pupil recruitment continued an upward trajectory. The other maln source of income is Extra Tuilion, which increased substantially in the year to £1,594,969 compared to £1,075,638 in 2023-24. The College continues the strategy of deploying as much of the fee Income to investing in the educational purposes and fabric of the College to Contin to meet its charitable objechve and its long temi intentr'on to achieve a minimum free reserves held value of one term's operating expenditure. The main expenditure of the College is that of stsff Costs. The academic and support Staff are kw to the ongoing success of the College. Staff Costs accounted for a consistent 75% of expenditure the same level as the last year.
SLINDON COLLEGE LIMITED GOVERNORS. REPORT (INCLUDING DIREoR,$ REPORll ICONTINUEDI FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 As a charity the parentslcarer5 of our pupils have the assuTance that all of the income of the Colege must be applied for educational purposes. As an educa"onal charity we currently e4)jOy tax exemption on our educational achvitie5 and on our nvestmenl income and @ains provided by these are applied fo¥ our charitable aims. As a chaflty we Bre also entitled to an 80% reduction on our business rates on the property we occupy for our charitable purposes. The ftnancial bertrefi.ts we receive from these tax exemptions are all applied for educational purposes and indirectly help us to maintain our bursary provision. The Labour government's policy to apply VAT to school fees from I january 2025 has meant we are now able to reclaim VAT input tax on our costs. We also pay tax as an employef through the National Insuranr.e contributions we make. In addition to the very Substantial beneh.ts our College brinEs to our pupils. the local community and society through the education we offer. our means-tested bursary prograrnme creates a social asset without cost to the Exchequer. The College has an ongoing financial commitment under the terms of our lease from The Nat¥onal Trust for maintenance and repairs to the Grade Il* listed Slindon House as ihey become necessary. Reserves policy The Board ol Governors continually monitors the levels of the College's funds expendable at their di5cretioM, deh'ned for the purpgse ol ihis policy as 'Net Current Assets, in the accounts of the College and wlich are attributable to Unrestricted Fiinds.

The College needs to retain a viable fi.nancial reserve ii) order lo". over liabilities and emergencies cover annual deficits provide income fund development bl dl The College must maintain its present development strategy, which is set out in its ongoing Stiategic Plan. This is funded from reserves. which in turn, are topped up from surpluses generated by anTr(tal budgets, where applicable. Strenuou5 effort5 are made to keep the annual budget in balance. but deficits occur from time to time and must be absorbed by the College's reserve5. Considerin8 Ihe cu¥rent sector changes and £hallenges, it Is a8feed that the minimum free Yeserves held should be the equivalent of one term's operating expenditure as per The Association of Governing Bodies of Inthpendent Schools Euidance and theyefore flee reserves held should be £1,170,000 in order to fulfil the College's commltments. Total fund5 held at the balance sheet date were £2,127,583_ Restricted funds represent £907 of total funds and £979,464 can only be realised by disposing of lixed asset5. Thus, free reserves at Ihe balance sheet date were El.147,212.

The Reserves Policy is reviewed annually.
