WATFORD FULLER FOUNDATION

Trustees’ report For the year ended 31 March 2022

The Trustees present the annual report and financial statements of the Watford Fuller Foundation (the Foundation) for the year ended 31 March 2022. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and the requirements of the Foundation’s governing document.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Principal objects

The main aim of the Foundation, as set out in its Trust Deed, is to advance the education of the pupils of Watford Grammar School for Boys (the School). The objective of the Foundation is to augment the funds received from the statutory body that maintains the School so as to provide or assist in the provision of educational, recreational and other charitable facilities.

The policy adopted is to apply sums that the Trustees consider promote the general wellbeing of the School and the education and welfare of the pupils and staff at the School, and to support the development and maintenance of the School’s fabric and amenities.

The Trustees have the power to make investments on behalf of the Foundation in accordance with its investment policy.

Investment policy

The purpose of the investment policy of the Foundation is to ensure that the assets held for the benefit of Watford Grammar School for Boys are appropriately managed with proper fiduciary care. In order to achieve this, the Trustees carefully review all investments at each meeting.

The Foundation seeks to produce the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk. The investment objective is to generate a return of inflation plus 2% per annum over the long term (3-5 years), after expenses. This should allow the Foundation to at least maintain the real value of the assets, whilst funding annual costs of under 1% of net assets per annum.

The Foundation adopts a total return approach to investment, generating the investment return from income and capital gains or losses. It is expected that if in any one year the total return is insufficient to meet the budgeted grant making expenditure, in the long term the real value of the Foundation will still be maintained in accordance with the investment objective above.

The Trustees are satisfied with the performance of the investments during the financial year to 31 March 2022.

Grant making policy

Watford Grammar School for Boys makes applications to the Foundation for grants in relation to the funding of various projects. The Trustees consider the various projects and make a decision on the grants to be made.

Public benefit

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in the planning and operations of all its current and future activities. In particular, the Trustees have given due regard to public benefit when awarding grants.

FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)

Details of the investments were as follows:

The total unit holding of COIF Investment Fund (Accumulation) Units on 31 March 2022 was 6,621.53 units. The market value of the investments at 31 March 2022 was £1,531,097 (2021 - £1,371,590). This valued the holding at £981,097 (2021 - £821,590) above its cost. The unrealised gain is held in a designated fund.

Funding strategy

Trustees have allocated the resources available to the Foundation to five restricted funds and three unrestricted funds, of which two are designated.

Restricted funds:

The Music Centre Fund was established from the sale of surplus land towards development of a Music Centre on the School’s site. This fund closed on 31 March 2007 but was re-established in March 2008 to receive donations to the Trust restricted for use in the operation of The Clarendon Muse, the registered name given to the Music Centre which officially opened on 1 March 2008. The chief purpose of the Fund is to act as a sinking fund for meeting capital and maintenance costs of the facility.

The Kienitz Fund was established from a legacy in March 2009 that restricts grant aid to pupils of the school with musical aptitude.

The Drama Fund represents donations from a single donor, restricted to development of school drama teaching and productions.

Unrestricted designated funds:

The Investment Gain Fund represents the cumulative unrealised gains on investments.

The All Weather Pitch Fund was transferred to the Foundation from the School and acts as a designated sinking fund for the replacement and repair of All Weather Pitches at the main site and the New Field.

Unrestricted general fund

This holds unrestricted funds available to the Foundation. The fund is used to make general grant awards to the school.

Reserves policy

Trustees’ policy is, given the current uncertainties regarding future levels of public funding for schools and the uncertainty regarding funding for future capital projects, to retain a minimum of £1m in reserves across the unrestricted funds wherever possible. This is currently being achieved.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Organisation

The Foundation operates from the Watford Grammar School for Boys, Rickmansworth Road, Watford, Herts WD18 7JF. There are no subsidiary charities.

Method of election of trustees

Trustees are nominated by the Watford Fuller Foundation or by a resolution of a quorate meeting of the Board of Directors of Watford Grammar School for Boys. Final appointments are ratified by a quorate meeting of the Trustees of the Foundation. A Director-nominated Trustee ceases to act if at least two-thirds of a quorate meeting of the full Board of Directors so resolve, or if a Director-nominated Trustee ceases to be a member of the Board.

Risk management strategy

The Trustees have assessed and continue to monitor the major risks to which the Foundation is exposed, in particular those relating to the operations and finances of the Trust. Forward financial projections to 2022 have been considered by the Trustees, and they are satisfied that procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

FUTURE PLANS

The trustees have also agreed to fund a number of future capital projects totalling £227,000 as follows:

IT work is currently being carried out developing the system of backups and future proofing the network. The school plans infrastructure improvements to both the wired and wireless networks to be carried out during the next academic year. The remaining cost of these developments has been deferred to the next academic year.

Installation of air source heat main pump for the Main School Block is a contribution in addition to a grant by Salix in connection with the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.

New All Weather Pitch LED floodlights is an upgrade designed to reduce energy costs.

The Science Block boiler and related heating control units require replacement which will significantly reduce its energy consumption in this area.

The large library windows require replacement in preparation for the internal refurbishment of the archive room.

Electrical and fire safety work in the Main School Block ground floor was subject of a successful Condition Improvement Fund bid to which the Foundation has agreed to contribute.

The School received support from the Foundation of £50,000 towards its revenue budget in the Foundation’s 2021-22 financial year but has indicated that it is not intending to seek further revenue budget support for the 2022-23 financial year.

The Foundation will continue to award bursaries from its Kienitz Fund in the financial year 2022-23 and will maintain a revenue funding commitment for a School Counsellor of £10,000, Drama Bursary of £10,000 and charity fundraising software license fees of £5,000.

Trustees’ report (continued) For the year ended 31 March 2022

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Charity law requires the trustees of a charity to prepare financial statements each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the incoming resources and application of resources for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provision of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

Each of the Trustees has confirmed that there is no further information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, other than already disclosed. They have also confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditors are aware of such information, if any.

AUDITORS

A resolution for the reappointment of Myers Clark as auditors has been approved by the Trustees.

By order of the Trustees

WATFORD FULLER FOUNDATION

Independent auditors’ report to the trustees

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Watford Fuller Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet and notes to the financial statements, 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:

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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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:

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the report of the trustees, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information. 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. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

WATFORD FULLER FOUNDATION

Independent auditors’ report to the trustees (continued)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Responsibilities of the Trustees set out on page 6, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that 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 it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, is detailed below.

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following;

8

WATFORD FULLER FOUNDATION

Independent auditors’ report to the trustees (continued)

As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.

Audit response to risks identified

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland – SORP FRS 102 effective 1 January 2019. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 March 2022

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) – SORP FRS 102 effective 1 January 2019.

The accounts have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved applying ‘Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective 1 January 2019’ rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice referred to in the regulation but which has since been withdrawn.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity.

The Trustees considers that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Income recognition

Income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised on receipt. Gift aid is recognised in the same accounting period as the related donation.

Investment income is recognised on receipt into the charity’s bank accounts.

Expenditure recognition

Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred.

Grant payments are recognised when the recipient has been advised of the grant and there is an obligation to pay.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.

Investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value at the balance sheet date using the mid- market value.

Funds structure

Restricted funds represent grants, donations and legacies received which are allocated by the donor for specific purposes.

Unrestricted income funds are those funds that are available to the trustees to apply to the general charitable purposes as laid out in the Trust Deed.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been put aside out of unrestricted funds at the discretion of the Trustees.

15. Events after the reporting date

At 31 March 2022, the value of the Foundation’s investment holdings were £1,531,097 and the latest valuation on 3 November 2022 shows that the value has fallen to £1,450,483.

There has been substantial market volatility and weakness in the period. The COIF Investment Fund, in which the investment holding is placed, has over a number of years performed well ahead of the market including in the prior financial year.

The foundation does not have any plans to sell the investment holdings in the short term and therefore, does not anticipate that any fall in value of investments will crystallise into a loss. The investments are being held for the long run and therefore, the foundation hopes to be able to benefit from the recovery in value of investments when it materialises.
