The Governors of Walthamstow Hall are commitied to education, to broadening access to the School and to sharing the School's frdcilities and resources with schoo15 in the maintained sector. Governors use a wide range of occasions to promoie education of gir15 and continually seek new opportunities. Having moved to 'living with, Covid. the number of facilities used and shared has once again increased and was close to pre- pandemic levels by the summer. They continije to comply with their duty in s.4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the general 2nd relevant sub-sector guidance. concerning the operation of public benefit published and under consultation by the Charity Commission. in exercising their responsibilities as Governors. Education for Pupils The School supports the attainment of the highest Stsndard5 in the Independent Schools sector. Pupils of the School achieve excellent public examination results. sraff act as markers and moderators for public examinations and the School supports a comprehensive induction programme for newly qualified teachers. The teaching profession benefits from the training and continuou5 development programme and in-service training for Walthamstow Hall staff as they move between schoo15 and education sectors. The School continues to develop links with local schools in both the maintained and independent sectors. In line with the country, the School returned to the pre-covid process for national exams in Summer 2023. Whilst alternate arrangements were available in case examinatsons could not take place. these were not required and examinations took place without issue. Results From 2023 And L£avers' Destinations A third of our students attained a fvll hand of AIA grade5 and, in contrast to the national picture, Walth2mstow Hall's percentage of A B grades represents an increase on the results in the three year5 pre- COVID. This year we have seen the number of students drop-out and reapply reduced significandy and regulate to excepted number5. Students are able visit universities and make sound decisions based on accurate predicted grades, excellent advice and support from tutors and our UCAS Coordinator. This year the most significant shift has been the two students who have accepted deferred places and taken a planned gap ye3r. Initially we had four students who applied for deferred places but chxnged their mind before accepting those places. This is an increase in previous years. although noc anticipated as an increasing trend. There have only been four students who have (re)applied this year compared to 12 from 2022 for 2023 entry. The application proce$5 for 2023 has been our best yeL It was decided to stagger the applications and divide them into Early (Oxbridge, Medics. Vets), Standard (the majority of students) and Delayed (those who were working to increase predicted grades). This was well received by students. p2rents, Heads of Department and the Sixth Form team. This will be replicated for next year.

Value Added The School is a place of purposeful, joyful learning in which teachers and students work in partnership to achieve great thing5 with clear evidence that what is happening in our classrooms is special. Value Added is the independently verified statistical measure which many schools in the UK, including Walthamstow Hall, use to track the academic progress of students from Year 7 to Year I l and again from Year 12 to Year 13. Alongside many other UK maintained and independent schools Walthamstow Hall submits dats to the Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring (CEM) at Cambridge University Pre55 & Assessment each year. They use the data to produce value added scores and a ranking for each school. The first set of data is submitted when pupils join their senior school in Year 7. and when they join Year 12- xt these stsges the pupils complete a Cognitive Ability Test (respectively called MidYIS and ALIS) which provides a baseline of their natural ability in different areas. CEM uses this daLI to predict the likely GCSE and A Level outcome5 for each pupil. When the school submits the second set of data. the final IIGCSE and A Level grades of each pupil, the two sets of data of actual versus predicted grades are overlaid and the difference between the gives the value added score. For GCSE, our value added score in 2023 placed Walthamstow Hall comfortably within the top l 0% of the independent sector. and 2022 saw the best result we have ever achieved. ranked within the top 3Y.. For A Level, in 2023 we were ranked in the top 6% of independent and state sector schools. This is a fantastic achievement and is our best since 2015, discounting the pandemic year5 of 2020121 when exams were assessed drfferently. Value added scores are a fantastic indicator of the quality of a curriculum and the teaching which delivers it. Walthamstow Hall consistently achieves high value added scores. with pupils gaining grades higher than the grade5 predicted for them.

Walthamstow Hall Annual Report and Account5 For the year ended 31 August 2023 FINANCIAL REVIEW The Governing Body remains focused on strategic planning with sound financial strategy and control continuing to be exhibited. Over the period the School consolidated works on current buildings with no new major building projects undenaken. Projects at thejunior School site included the introduction of new electronic access doors and additional CCTV for improved security and a new heating control system along with the replacement of frasci3s. At the Senior School. the final conver5i0n of lighting to LED was completed with the Sports Hall converted and repairs to the squash court roof were completed. Two new boilers were fitted at the Pool and new cooking equipment fitted in the kitchen. Results for the Y&qr The year end result shows 3 loss for the year of £817K {202112022: loss of £168K)- Pupil number5 at the School have f211en both at the Junior and Senior Schools. Fees for 202212023 were increased by 4% across the School primarily due to the huge increase in utility costs and rhe rise in inflation to over l 0%. Longer term plans recognise the effects of the on-going economic outlook but still seek the achievement of sustainible surpluses, to maintain freely available reserves and to service existing and possible future financing commitments for further developments identified in the Str3te8ic Developfflent Plan. The School has commenced planning for potential fvture changes in VAT and Business rates. Reserves Policy The School needs reserves to ensure it can fulfil and complete the charitable obligations and commitments it enters into. The Chariry Commission defines free reserves as unrestritted funds available to spend on the general purposes of the School and therefore. excludes those designated for particular purposes 2nd those Iready utilised in purchasing tangible assets. The Governors believe that the level of reserves freely available for the School's general purpose should be Sufficient to accommodate the continuing needs of the School and to develop and maintain its buildings and facilities and equivalent to a term's expenditure or £3.4M. At the end of the financial year the level of consolidated free reserves was £6.5M (202112022: £4.5M) and the Governors. policy is to maintain them by means of annual operating surpluses and judicious management of investment assets. supplemented by general purpose appeals from time to time. Investment Policy and Objectives Article 5.20 of The Articles of Association allovés the deposit or investment of funds with all the powers of a beneficial owner, but to invest only after obtxining advice from a financial experr (as defined in Article 5.21) and having regard to the suitabiliry of investments and the need for diversification. The Governing Body's policy is to limit any investments to interest bearing bank deposirs and very low risk fixed interest securities, such as Gilts, with the aim of guarding against any significant drop in valve that would compromise the School's development plans while trying to obtain as high a return as possible. Thi5 has been achieved while ensurir)g that the funds are easily acce55ible to meet the School's operating expenses, when needed. Apart from the subsidiary undertaking mentioned in the Balance SheeL the School has no material investments and any short-term credit monies are placed in bank cash deposits. 18

Walthamstow Hall Annual Report and Accounts For the year ended 31 August 2023 FINANCIAL REVIEW (Continued) Fundraising Perfornh￿ce The School did not actively seek donations for any specrfic projects and there were no major fundraising activities during the year. A total of £170.913 was raised. the majority of which came from Walthamstow Hall (Sevenoaks) Ltd with a further £15.145 donated for the enhancement of cricket. The Friends and Parents Association continued to raise and donate monies to enhance the lives of the pupils. The Old Girls continue to raise funds by providing £1,768 to provide a biennial Science Bursary. Recruitment and Training of Governors Trust Governors are appointed at a meeting of the Board of Governors to fill specific skill requirement5 and on the basis of their personal competence and specialist skills. Nominative Governors may be appointed by the School staff and by the parent body. In recent years, it has proved drfficult to appoint Nominative Governor5 to represent The Baptist Missionary Society. The Council for World Mission 2nd the United Reformed Church and those bodies have been unable to provide nominees. The Articles of Association were previously amended by the Governing Body to ameliorate this dtfficulty such that nominees were no longer required to represent the three organisations. bu( in keeping with the spirit and founding ethos of the School, the Governing Body is required to nominate up to three Nominative Governors who are of the Protestant Christian faith. with a preference for those who are members of the free churches. Recommendations may continue ro be sought from and made by the three organi5ations previously mentioned. All prospective Governors meet with the Chairman of Governors. the Headmistress and the Clerk to the Governors and also visit for a tour of the School. Prior to joining, all new Governor5 undergo an enhanced Disclosure 2nd Barring Service (DBS) check to confirm their suitabiliry for the role under the School's Safeguarding Policy.

The charitable group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial sta￿Ments. The Governors have acknovAedged the effect of the ongoing vor in Ukrdine with its effert on eneru and food prices and. the potenual for VAT to be imposed on education fees should a new Government change the current VAT rules. However. it is unclear what the timeline for any future changes to VAT rules may be or how this may be introduced and how VAT paid may be created. Therefore. due to the lack of clarity, Governors cannot yet a55es5 the effect on fees. Pupil numbers have remained llat though encouragingly, number5 joining at Year 9 have continued to be FX)sitive since offering deferred places to pupils at Prep Schoo15. The forecasc for pupils for 2024125 remains positive with work ongoing to recain pupils at Year 11112.
