As well as providing for a variety of award bearing courses, it runs a range of day courses and conferences.

The Burwood Centre

The Centre provides independent assessments for babies and children diagnosed with a hearing loss. The Centre's income is derived from fees paid by the families for assessments, charitable donations and support from unrestricted income. The reports produced are wholly independent, Mary Hare is determined to uphold the independence of the Burwood Centre.

1. To champion a culture of collaboration, innovation and excellence

2. To provide benefit for the local community where it supports our wider aims, sharing our facilities and expertise

3. To manage the charity, our businesses, risks and finances to ensure an enduring legacy for successive generations

Principal Activities

The principal activity of Mary Hare is to provide education for deaf children using an auditory oral method with spoken and written English and the use of the best technology at its heart. Pupils come from a range of communication backgrounds, including total communication, sign bilingual and auditory /oral.

Mary Hare is a Non Maintained Special School which caters for children and young people (4 – 20 years of age) with moderate, severe or profound hearing loss. Pupils come from all over the UK with a small number from overseas. The school has two campuses, one in Greenham for the primary aged pupils, while the secondary pupils are based at Snelsmore Common.

Mary Hare’s Professional Courses Division trains teachers of the deaf through postgraduate courses provided in partnership with the University of Hertfordshire. This relationship continues to develop and the course has been ratified for a further five years.

Commercial activities carried out in Mary Hare Services Ltd include the letting of school facilities for an international language school and to other organisations, and for weddings; the letting of the Swimming Pool for swimming lessons and various other community uses; and the letting of the Arlington Arts Centre for commercial theatre, conferences and other events.

Income from all Mary Hare’s commercial activities provides the school with significant additional funds.

STRATEGIC REPORT

In February 2020 the school received a Section 8 Ofsted inspection and the outcome was ‘Good’ in all areas. Key findings included:

‘Pupils are proud of their school and talk with excitement and passion about all aspects of their education here. Their enthusiasm for learning and appreciation of the opportunities the school provides are both heartening and humbling.’

‘Leaders and governors have worked hard to improve the school since the last inspection. They are determined that the school will not stand still. Plans to improve some aspects of provision are well developed. These include plans to provide new state-of-the-art facilities to improve the learning environment, resources and accommodation for primary-aged pupils.’

‘The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The culture to keep pupils safe is strong because staff understand the complex needs of pupils very well. Pastoral care and pupils’ social and emotional development are strong. Specialist staff are employed to support pupils’ access to the curriculum, as well as ensuring that the welfare, health and safety of pupils are given the highest priority. Partnerships with outside agencies are positive. Record-keeping is detailed and consistent. Policies and procedures are followed well. Staff training focuses on the right things, including identifying and understanding the very specific additional risks that pupils who attend this school face.

The school is committed to seeking to achieve Outstanding.

The project to build the new Primary School continues with detailed design work taking place with key stakeholders. We anticipate work to begin building in Spring 2021.

GOVERNORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 10 JULY 2020

Like all schools, the most significant challenge, both in terms of strategy and operationally, was the Coronavirus epidemic. Mary Hare’s approach was to seek to deliver the whole curriculum in real time to pupils online for whom this was realistic. This continued for Key Stages 4 and 5 and was reduced following consultation with families for Key Stage 3. The primary school used a platform requiring less real time interaction in keeping with the age of the children. Mary Hare’s approach to learning at home was extremely well received by parents who sent countless messages of support and gratitude. Another principle was to continue to care for the whole child with the safeguarding and wellbeing teams kept in regular contact with pupils. The Principal sent regular subtitled assemblies for pupils to watch with their families.

Educational Achievements and Performance

GCSE

Mary Hare provides education to a wide range of deaf students, some, very able and others facing a range of challenges directly or indirectly caused by their deafness. Therefore, we celebrate the high grades at GCSE, which demonstrate our academic ambitions while equally celebrating the much more modest achievements of others remembering that these represent huge progress for the individual.

Schools nationally are not publishing the same progress and outcome data for the qualifications this year as they were arrived at by teachers’ judgement, based on all the relevant information held by the school. It is worth noting the exceptional results of two students, one of whom achieved four 9’s, three 8’s and a 6, and the other, three 8’s, a 7 and five 6’s.

Sixth Form

Sixth Form results were very good and all going onto further and higher education were able to take up the places of their choice. The process was inevitably stressful for families and staff and was the latest blow to these young people who had already faced such a disappointing end to their schooling, having been unable to return since lockdown. There were some fully deserved, excellent results. One pupil achieved A, A, A and C in Maths, Further Maths, Chemistry and Physics, another student achieved A, A and B in Fine Art, Photography and Core Maths, two students achieved grade A in their Fine Art A level and one students was awarded a Distinction in IT.

There was a modest rise in the pupil numbers from 224 at the beginning of the academic year 2019/20 to 233 at the end of the year. This small increase together with the continued initiatives to ensure we obtain full cost recovery of services offered resulted in an increase in fee income to £12.15m from £11.5m in the prior year.

There has been a continued focus on effectively managing costs. Excluding pension scheme costs the overall operating expenditure for the year reduced by 2.5%. This reduction was achieved despite staff numbers (FTE) remaining relatively static at 231 (2018/19 - 233).

GOVERNORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 10 JULY 2020

Mary Hare continued in 2019/20 with its multi-year major investment programme. Projects during the year included the continuation of upgrade work to the Mansell House and the Manor residential accommodations, investment in the IT server infrastructure, computers and whiteboards, further improvements to the canteen servery and a variety of works to upgrade bathroom facilities across the site.

The accounts in the year benefit again from the contribution from Mary Hare business activities and from the joint venture activities, however, these were significantly impacted in the latter months of the financial year with the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic. During the national lockdown, nearly all commercial activities had to be suspended and businesses and the Arlington Arts venue had to cancel all bookings. The highly successful Summer English Language School for foreign students also had to be cancelled for this year.

A significant impact on the overall financial result for the year is the pension scheme costs arising from the annual revaluation of Mary Hare's share in the Royal County of Berkshire Pension Scheme (RCBPS).

Mary Hare employees participate in three pension schemes:

• The Teachers' Pension defined benefit Scheme (TPS);

• The RCBPS defined benefit Scheme (closed to new members from 31 December 2018) and

• The People’s Pension defined contribution Scheme (established 1 January 2019 for all non teaching staff joining from that date onwards).

The RCBPS scheme reflects the majority of Mary Hare’s pension obligations. Each financial year end under the requirements of FRS 102, the amount of money owed to meet our pension obligations under the RCBPS have to be recalculated and netted against the revised asset value, resulting in a net liability or surplus. Although the TPS is a multi employer defined benefits scheme, it is not possible or appropriate to split the assets or liabilities of TPS that are attributable to Mary Hare. As such under the requirements of FRS 102 Mary Hare accounts for this scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme.

For the year ended 10 July 2020, net pension scheme adjustments totalling £5,551k of cost were included, an increase of £3,537k from the prior year. The major driver was a negative £3,445k reflecting a reduction in the discount factor (investment return) that is applied to the scheme liabilities. This discount rate is provided by our pension advisers who refer to IBoxx AA rated over 15 years Corporate bond rates which have fallen reflecting global macroeconomic outlook. There was also a less material £416k positive contribution due to the improved demographic assumptions aligned to average life expectancy impacting the period members’ pensions are expected to be paid out for.

Every three years a formal actuarial valuation of the entire RCBPS is undertaken. Its purpose is to value the assets and liabilities of each individual employer and the pension fund as a whole, with a view to setting employer contribution rates that will result in each employer’s liabilities becoming as close to fully funded as possible over the agreed recovery period usually several years away. The latest valuation has resulted in a small reduction in in the regular employer contribution rate, effective April 2020 and lump sum payments for the three years from 2020. These lump sum contributions were predicted in our financial strategy and reflected in our five year forecast projections.

This year the accounts include further professional fees of £78k incurred to progress plans for the development of a new Primary School on the Mary Hare site. Development costs incurred in the prior year were £79k.

The overall cash balance at the year end was £3,885k, an increase of £1,190k from the prior year. This was driven by operational cash flow inflows of £1,428k netted against investment cash outflows, primarily tangible fixed assets of £238k.

Excluding the various FRS 102 pension adjustments, the one off new primary school development costs and reflecting the contribution of the business and joint venture activities, Mary Hare has returned an operating surplus of £541k. We continue to enjoy the benefit of support from the Mary Hare Foundation which further enhances our ability to offer value for money and invest in the School’s future. We are grateful to the Foundation and its supporters for the success in raising substantial funds towards the new primary school project.

GOVERNORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 10 JULY 2020

Plans for the Future

Some things that we hoped to do last year were affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and will need to be revisited. These include our decision to seek to speak out more on key issues facing deaf children – the ongoing assumption that they should attend their local school and the increasing difficulty families face in seeking placement and even in getting an EHC Plan for their child.

In school we will be focussing on the move to Outstanding and supporting students who have missed considerable time in school, particularly those who are now in Years 11 and 13.

We are also continuing to raise vital funds towards the new Primary School build and additionally we need to build a new Vocational Centre to accommodate the number of courses we now offer.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The Governors regularly examine the major risks facing Mary Hare. There are systems to monitor and mitigate any impact they may have on Mary Hare. The Governors are satisfied that adequate systems are in place.

Mary Hare relies on the funding of pupil places by Local Authorities. Therefore, we need to be aware of the financial situation in Local Authorities and any barriers to placement families may face.

The Board is alert to the need to ensure the highest possible level of safeguarding for our pupils, which is of paramount importance in our setting. Our procedures and practices are regularly inspected by Governors, Ofsted, the pupils’ home local authorities and independent third parties and their reports are scrutinised by management and the Board.

The direct effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on Mary Hare are not currently significant, however, school leaders are monitoring the ‘pipeline’ of prospective pupils carefully as normal recruitment events have had to be postponed or adapted to meet current circumstances. A full Covid-19 risk assessment has been carried out, and adaptations to the way the School operates and delivers its education and care have been implemented. The risks are regularly reviewed and adjustments made to reflect the current situation and latest guidance.

Remuneration of Key Management Personnel

Key Management Personnel are remunerated at appropriate levels taken from the NJC or school leadership scales. These are reviewed by the HR and Governance Committee of the Board of Governors.

Reserves Policy

Mary Hare aims to have free reserves that equate to three months’ running costs in line with market practice. The size of this reserve has been determined using a simple income and expenditure risk assessment. We believe that if our annual income were to be reduced suddenly in some way, for example a big reduction in pupil numbers or a significant change in the way Local Authorities or the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) fund our pupils, three months' running costs would give us the time to rescale our operations whilst we continue to educate the children in our care. Mary Hare currently holds reserves in the form of fixed assets, mostly buildings. However, these do not offer the same liquidity as free reserves as it would be impractical to dispose of them quickly in the event of an emergency. The current gap to our targeted free reserves figure is being closed by building surplus cash flow through a combination of looking to ensure healthy pupil numbers, addressing our fee structure, careful cost control and income from the Mary Hare Businesses.

It is our policy that these reserves will only be spent in the event of a sudden or unforeseen loss or reduction in income that threatened the viability of the organisation.

The Governors review the level of reserves required to be held in investments, cash and cash investments annually. The CEO presents annually to the Board of Governors with a draft document and supporting materials that enable the governing body to make an informed decision about the level of reserves which feeds into their approval of the Strategy and Annual Operating Budget.

GOVERNORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 10 JULY 2020

Public Benefit

Mary Hare provides education to its pupils within the national curriculum and meets the standards set by Ofsted. This meets a fundamental test for advancement of education for public benefit identified by the Charity Commission. The education is restricted to pupils who are moderately, severely or profoundly deaf or who have other hearing difficulties. This class of beneficiaries has a particular common charitable need which justifies restricting the benefit to them because of the special nature of the education required.

In setting our objectives and planning our activities, we have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

Environmental Initiatives

Mary Hare continues to undertake a series of environmental initiatives. There have been a wide range of projects being rolled out recently to reduce energy consumption. These include investing in and upgrading our main central boiler house, installation of modern efficient light fittings, a programme to install new double glazing windows, and in our older boarding houses sensors and new radiator heat controls. Both our newer buildings are partly heated by solar panels and in both the newer houses, the highest levels of insulation have been incorporated. With our recent swimming pool refurbishment we included a new swimming pool cover. Additionally, the environment featured heavily in the designs for future buildings in our plans approved last year by West Berkshire.

Our pupils have formed an environmental group and are leading some initiatives around school to encourage awareness but also to change some behaviours.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MARY HARE

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Mary Hare (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 10 July 2020 which comprise the Consolidated statement of financial activities, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Company balance sheet, the Consolidated 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:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 10 July 2020 and of the group's 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 Companies Act 2006.

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 group 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:

• the Governors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or

• the Governors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the group's or the parent charitable company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

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.

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:

• the information given in the Governors' report including the Strategic report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.

• the Governors' report and the Strategic report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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:

• the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of Governors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Mary Hare 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.

The Consolidated statement of financial activities (SOFA) and Consolidated balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.

The company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of financial activities in these financial statements.

1.2 Going concern

The Governors have considered the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic on the ability of the charity to continue operating for the foreseeable future. This review has included considering the impact of the pandemic to the date of signing the financial statements and based on this review the Governors believe that the financial statements have been prepared appropriately on the going concern basis.

1.3 Fund accounting

The nature and purpose of each fund are explained in note 16.

1.4 Fees and similar income

Fees

Fees receivable and charges for services and use of premises are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided.

Donations and legacies

Income from donations and legacies is recognised in the year in which the school becomes legally entitled to the relevant income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable certainty. Donations received for the general purposes of the charity are included within unrestricted funds. Donations for activities restricted by the provider are taken to restricted funds where these wishes are legally binding on the Governors.

Donations in kind are reflected in the financial statements at their estimated value to Mary Hare.

Grants receivable

Grants are normally recognised as income in the period to which they relate.

Grants received in respect of property or other fixed asset additions are credited to a fixed asset grant fund within restricted funds. An annual transfer to unrestricted funds is made in respect of the amortisation of the grants over the estimated useful life of the relevant asset.

The accounting treatment is to reflect these transactions, assets and liabilities on a gross basis. Income received by Mary Hare and Mary Hare Services Ltd as Gift Aid, management charges and rent is included as net income from investments in joint ventures.

1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Freehold property - 2% and 10% on cost Motor vehicles, tractors & - 20% on cost mechanical implements Furniture, fittings & equipment - 10% and 25% on cost

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.8 Investments

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 Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

Investments in joint ventures are stated at the amount of the group's share of net assets. The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities includes the group's share of the joint ventures' net income or expenditure using the equity accounting basis.

1.9 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

1.10 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.

1.11 Debtors

Fees and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.12 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.13 Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

1.14 Financial instruments

The group 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 measured at their settlement value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 10 JULY 2020

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.15 Pensions

Teaching staff employed by Mary Hare are eligible for membership of the Teachers' Pension Scheme, which is a national, statutory contributory, unfunded defined benefit scheme administered by the Teachers Pension Agency, an executive agency of the Department for Education. Pension costs are assessed in accordance with the advice of the Government Actuary. As this is a multiemployer scheme whose assets and liabilities are not separately identifiable, under Charities SORP (FRS 102) it is treated as a defined contribution scheme with a charge to the financial statements for the contributions paid and relevant disclosures about the scheme as a whole provided in note 23.

Mary Hare has a funded defined benefit scheme for those members of staff who are not eligible to join the Teachers' Pension Scheme. The assets of this scheme are administered by the Royal County of Berkshire Pension Scheme. This is also a multi-employer scheme, but the assets and liabilities relating to Mary Hare are separately identifiable and are accounted for as belonging to Mary Hare.

The financial statements take account of the annual valuation of the defined benefit scheme undertaken by the pension fund's actuaries. The scheme deficit is the shortfall of the value of the assets of the scheme compared with the present value of scheme liabilities. The deficit is shown as a liability in the balance sheet. The current service cost, expected return on pension scheme assets, interest on pension scheme liabilities and past service gains and costs are within the resources expended section of the Statement of Financial Activities. Actuarial gains and losses arising from updating the latest actuarial valuation to reflect conditions at the balance sheet date are recognised in the gains and losses section of the Statement of Financial Activities. More details are included in note 23.

2. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Critical areas of judgement:

Tangible fixed assets (see note 11)

Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors.

Bad debts

Using information available at the balance sheet date, the Charity makes judgements based on experience regarding the level of provision required to account for potentially uncollectible fees.

Pensions (see note 23)

Various assumptions are made in reporting the performance of the Charity's share of the pension scheme. A valuation is carried out for reporting purposes by a qualified independent actuary. The principal actuarial assumptions made are disclosed in note 23.

23. Pension commitments

The company participates in the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (England and Wales) (the "TPS") and the Royal County of Berkshire Pension Scheme (RCBPS). The company makes contributions to both in accordance with recommended rates. These are both defined benefit schemes. In 2020 the cost of pension contributions was £1,335,953 (2019: £1,183,694) including £623,447 (2018: £454,156) to the TPS and £712,506 (2019: £729,538) to the RCBPS. The schemes are accounted for differently as the assets and liabilities of the RCBPS scheme can be separately identified as belonging to Mary Hare. This is not the case for the TPS scheme and only summary information for the scheme as a whole is provided.

The Teachers’ Pension Scheme

The Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) is a statutory, contributory, defined benefit scheme, governed by the Teachers’ Pension Scheme Regulations 2014. Membership is automatic for teachers in academies. All teachers have the option to opt-out of the TPS following enrolment.

The TPS is an unfunded scheme to which both the member and employer makes contributions, as a percentage of salary - these contributions are credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.

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 every 4 years. 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. The valuation report was published by the Department for Education on 5 March 2019. The key elements of the valuation and subsequent consultation are:

• employer contribution rates set at 23.68% of pensionable pay (including a 0.08% administration levy)

• total scheme liabilities (pensions currently in payment and the estimated cost of future benefits) for service to the effective date of £218,100 million and notional assets (estimated future contributions together with the notional investments held at the valuation date) of £196,100 million, giving a notional past service deficit of £22,000 million

• the SCAPE rate, set by HMT, is used to determine the notional investment return. The current SCAPE rate is 2.4% above the rate of CPI. assumed real rate of return is 2.4% in excess of prices and 2% in excess of earnings. The rate of real earnings growth is assumed to be 2.2%. The assumed nominal rate of return including earnings growth is 4.45%.

The next valuation result is due to be implemented from 1 April 2023.
