Adapting to the Covld Pandemlc From the very first day of the enforced school closure, Monklon was not only delivering a full teaching programme online, but providing vital pastoral support and important Co-curricular activities to ensure our pupils well-being and experience was as positive as possible.

In discharging their duties above, the Governors carefully considor, amongst other mallors, the impact on and interest of other stakeholders in the School and factor these into their decision-making process. Pu Boarding and day pupils alike benefit from the School's excellent pastoral provision with staff placing as much importance on pupils. all-round personal development as they do on academlc progress. Em lo The School fecognises that the qualities. skills and commitment of ils employees play a major role in the School's success. Regular briefings keep staff informed of School-wide developments, and wide-ranging employee benefits enhance their quality of life. Staff wellbeing has been a key focus this year and will be a continued area of allenlion, along with equality, diversity and inclusion. Furloughed staff were successfully re-integrated as they returned from an extended period of absence from the sile. Parents The School recognises the many benefits of engaging wlh parents and has reimagined ils communications with parents over the past twelve months.

Communit The School is proud of ils place in the local community and conscious that il has a significantly beneficial impact on the local economy and on local cultural life. Greenhouse Gas GHG Emissions and ener consum tion During the year, the School has continued lo implement changes and improvements in energy efficiency and environmental actions across the eslale, using the Energy Saving Opportunities IESOS Phase 2) energy surveys as ils basis. This included replacing lighting within the boarding houses wth energy*fficienl LED lighting. This replacement programme has also extended lo academic buildings and will progress during the next academic year. In addition, we have re-assessed the replament and maintenance programme for existing heating installations, providing improved local control and an increased level of energy monitoring across the eslale. We continue lo work hard to increase staff awareness across the School both in terms of energy usage, waste and environrNental good practice. We continue lo monitor the use of buildings. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, on-site operations over the last year have been reduced with 'Virlual' functioning during the lockdown period. The increased level of working from home significantly reduced the need for commuting. 11 was decided lo use lolal number of PLJpils as the intensity ratio. The resulting inlensily ratio of tC02e per number of pupils will best reflect changes in operation and energy consumption over lime. We have used the financial control approach as the organisalional boundary. Whilst we recognise that we have the option to exclude from our report any energy and carbon information relating to a subsidiary which the subsidiary would not itself be obliged lo include if reporting on ils own account, we have decided not lo exercise this option. Energy and carbon information therefore includes that of Monkton Combe School Enterprises Ltd, company number 03588426 (which operates the swimming pool al the sports centre at tho Prep School silel. 15

The pension charge for the year includes contributions payable lo the TPS of £765,26712019'. £518.5891 and al the year-end £90.343 12019= £66,526) wa5 accrued in respect of contributions lo this scheme. The TPS 15 an unfunded multi-employer defined benefits pension scheme governed by The Teachers, Pensions Regulations 2010 las amended) and The Teachers, Pension Scheme Regulations 2014 las amended). Members contribute on a °pay as you go" basis with contributions from members and the employer being credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Padiamenl. The employer contribution rale is sel by the Secretary of Slate following scheme valuations undertaken by the Government Actuary's Department. The most recent actuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as al 31 March 2016 and the Valuation Report, which was published in March 2019, confirmed that the employer contribution rale for the TPS would increase from 16.4Q/o lo 23.6D/o from 1 September 2019. Employers are also required lo pay a scheme adminislralion levy of 0.080kn giving a lolal employer contribution rate of 23.68¥0. The 31 March 2016 Valuation Report was prepared in accordance with the benefits sel out in the scheme regulations and under the approach specified in the Directions, as they applied a15 March 2019. However, the assumptions were considered and sel by the Department for Education prior lo the ruling in the 'McCloud I Sargeanl case,. This case has required the courts lo consider cases regarding the implemenlalion of the 2015 reforms lo Public Service Pensions including the Teachers, Pensions. On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the government permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's judgment that transitional provisions introduced to the reformed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise lo unlawful age discrimination. The government is respecting the Court's deGision and has said il will engage fully with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member representatives to agree how the discriminations wll be remedied. The TPS is subject to a cost cap mechanism which was pul in pla lo protect taxpayers against unforeseen hanges in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary lo the Treasury, having in 2018 announced that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, in January 2019 annoL¢nced a pause to the cost cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal's ruling in the Mccloud I Sargeant case. In view of the above rulings and decisions the assumptions used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuation may become inappropriate. In this scenario, a valuation prepared in accordance with revised benefits and suitably rovised assumptions would yield different results than those contained in the Actuarial Valuation. Until a remedy lo the discrimination conclusion has been determined by the Employment Tribunal it is not possible lo conclude on any financial impact or future changes lo the contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly, no pr()vislon for any additional past benefit pension costs is included in these financial statements. Other Schemes Certain non-academic staff are members of the School's Pension Scheme, which is a money purchase Scheme administered by a private pensions company lo which contributions are paid as they become due. The pension cost charge for the period payable by the School in respect of non-academic staff was £227,00512019.' £213,850). The balance outstanding al the yearend was £30,55812019'. £29,745). 43
