FACILITIES In Seplèmbar 2014 the Junior School be¢ome co-educational and a 50 week per year day nursery was opened catering for children from aged 6 months to 5 years and from 7'.30am to 6.'30pm. The nursery is now successfully feeding boys and girfs into the coeducational Junior School. A new 61h Form centre was converted during 2016117, and opened al the start of the autumn term 2017, providing leaching rooms and study areas for many subjects. During 2018119 the school built upon the 2017118 Invest to Impress programme wlh the aim of upgrading many of the schools facililies. Much of the summer 2020 works were concentrated on ensuring the school was prepared for the September return of pupils under COVID 19 guidance. In February 2021 the school announced that the Senior School would admit boys in year 7 from September 2022, becorning fully Co-Ed by 2026. The summer works for 2022 concentrated on refurbishing existing welfare facilities for gids and the creation of new facilities for boys. With the increasing numbers on roll the Govemors are aware of the need to use existing facilities efficiently and to carefully consider what new facilitie5 may be required. To assist with this process during 2021122 architects were appointed to produce a Master Plan. The findings from this will be presented to Governors in Autumn Temi. REVEEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE PERIOD You will be aware that this year GCSES and A Level results were once again based on final examination results rather than on Teacher Assessed Grades. Advanced notice was given on some of the examination content and slight modif1cations were made to the examination process. However overall il was a much more sSmllar experSence to thal of 2019 and previous years.

THE ST. GABRIEL SCHOOLS FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE CHARITY TRUSTEES (GOVERNORS, REPORT) {CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY2022 At A level, 76% of the grades were al A'.B. We also saw 49% of grades al A'IA which compares to 36.4% nationally. Whilst these Tesutts are lower than the last two years this was the pattem nationally due lo first Centre Assessed and then Teacher Assessed Grad85. Our results were similar to those achieved in 2019 and significantly higher than the results achieved prior lo this, particularly al the A. level. Acad8mic- GCSE AI GCSE 60.4Vo of grades al 7-9 and 42Vo of these were at grade 8 OT 9. We were also particularly pleased that 18./9 of the results were at grade 9 which compared to 6.6Yo nation811y. 99.3% of grades were at 94 and this Included IOO*o of resutts at 94 in both Malh8matics and English Language. 1000/0 of our Year 11 pupils also secured 5 or more 94 grades including English Language and Malhernalics which is an excellent results. We were also delighted that 20Vo of Year 11 pupils achieved al least 9 grades at either grade 8 or 9. FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS FOR THE PERIOD The results are a return of circa 1 Yo which was better than atIpated by the Govemors. Throughout the year Ihe Governors have continually reassessed the Schools financial position and its ability to continue as a going concern. This has included the development of several budget scenarios and cash flow forecasts all of which have been robustly stress lesled. During this period the Governors also consulted with leaching sl8ff to withdrawfrom the Teachers Pension Scheme. Agreernenl was met8nd the school leftthe scheme on 31108121 and join the APTIS scheme run by Aviva. The maintenance of a sufficient and prudent margin in the order of &12Yts wll undoubtedly prove challenging but the Govemors are resolved to pursue measures lo mainlaln rinancial slabilty. The Governors continue to identify priorities for the school in temis of incrèasing recruitment and relentlon, reducing costs and developing the school. Reserves Pollcy The School's unrestricted funds stood at £3,034,388 {2021.' £2,985,572J at the end of the period. After adjusting for unrestri¢ted functional fixed assets for the charity's own use. borrowings against thorn and the effect of revaluation of fixed assets al a time of lower property prices there were free reserves of £493,045 las defined by the Charity Commission} (2021.. £512,542J. The Governors consider that free reserves would ideally be equivalent lo one tsrms operating costs, in order lo cover the risks and uncertainties of operating 8$ an independent educational establishment. The long term policy Is therefore to retum to bullding Ltp reserves out of annual net incoming resources until that level is reached, subject lo thè prior demands of fiJrth8r capitsl expenditure to equip the School with the up-to4ale facilities neèded lo maintsin the stsndard of educattonal services currenuy provided. Fundral$lng A separate charity the Sl Gabriel's Parent Teachers AssociaOn which is operated by parents of the school raises funds towards facilities and equipment for the school by running so¢ial events during the year. In the year 2021122 the PTA donated £4.925 to the school following these activities. The school does not engage in large scale fundraising a¢livilies like mass mailings, telephone fundraising or door to door campaigns. Any small level fundraising activities focus on the current parents and other individuals or organisations connected wth the school rather than the wlder ¢ommunity. During the financial year, the School did not re1ve any fundraising complaints requiring action by the Fundraising Regulator. FUTURE PLANS The Stratog conversations which the Prin¢lpal conducts forrnally wllh all Heads of Departments before th8ir budget submissions each year provide a detailed insight Into the curriculum requirernents pèrc8ived by the Heads of Departments. Th8sè aspirations are funnelled in directions.. firsfjy into short terni plans for departmental budgets and more strategically into curriculum development and the resources required to support it. Page 9
THE ST. GABRIEL SCHOOLS FOUNDATION REPORT OF THE CHARITYTRUSTEES (GOVERNORS, REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 In addition. the Governors have considered the strategic direction of the school against a backdrop of redLicing dernand for single sex education. the requirements for childcare for working parents and the aspirations of pupils for an enhanced 6lh Form. The school will be admitbng boys to year 7 from 2022 and will grow lo bg fully coeducational by 2026. Prlnclpal risks and uncertalntles The Board of Governors is responsible for the management of the risks faced by the school. In Novernber 2001 the school commissioned a risk assessment from a specialist adwsor and a full review and action plan with regard lo the risks was pmduced. The risk assessment report is used as a current working document and is formally revlewed by the B08rd of Govemors on an annual basis. From 5 January 2021. the School was physically closed with immediate effect as part ofthe national response lo the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. Despite the physl¢al closure of the School, the School was able to serve ils pupils effectively throughout the period by offering a full and comprehensive distance learning programme. As a result, Governors deckged lo offor a reduction of 15 /0 to the Spring Temi fees for each week of mOte working. In order lo presetve the School's strong financial position, operab'ng expenses were reduced by furloughing 53 staff members las part of the Governments Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme) and catering activities ceased. All bul necessary capital expenditure was put on hold. In March 2021 the School was able to fully reopen. The nursery continued to operate fully throLhOLtl this p&riod, with only 2 episodes of partial and full closure due to Coronavirus cases. The costs incurred due lo the Coronavirus pandemic have been oxtensive and the Govemors agreed that a porbon of the Schools resetves should be used to support the school through this Challenging period. The Governors have undertaken a robust review of thè ¢urriculum and staffing and have adjusted both where required. The school has also stress tested the cash flow forecast against a number of scenarios, including further remote teaching and changes lo pupil numbers. The Coeducalion announcement has generated a lol of interest in the school. September 2022 numbers on roll have increased considerably further consolidating the school financial fooling. Because of the action taken, the Govemors consider it appropriate for the going concern basis lo be adopted for these accounts. The principal risks and uncertainties currently facing the Company are considered to be, the current political situation and its effect on schools strategic plans. the UK'S economi¢ outlook, pressures brought by the war in Ukraine, energy crises. rise in cost of living, price competition frorn rival independent schools investing heavily in state-of-the-art technology an(t facilities. the increasing competition for high-quality leaching and support staff and its effed on succession-planning and severe reputational damage in the unlikely event of 8 high profile legal a¢lion alleging lack of due care over our pupils as vulnerable beneffciaries. Our plans and strategies for managing risk include maintaining effective internal controls, risk registerg. in¢ident-reporting and monitoring systems and insurance cover wherever appropriate. The key controls used by the charity to Mrffl include.. Fomial agendas for all Board, Committee and management team aclivty,. Comprehensive strategic plannlng, budgeting and manag8menl; Well established organisalional slructijre and lines of reporting., Formal written polieies., Vetting procedures as require(t for the protection of the vulnerable.. Monitoring compelilion., Implementing and Monitoring progress against the school development plan.. Maintaining accurate records and making relevant interventions where appropriate. Through the rlsk management processes established by the school, the Governors are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems Can only provide reasonable bul not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately rnanaged. Page 10

Auditor's responslbllities tor the audit of th8 flnan¢ial Statements Our obj8ctives are lo obtain reasonable assijrance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material wisstatement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditols report that includgs our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurancg. bul is not 8 guarantee that an audll conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI wll always dglocl a material misstatement when it exlsls. Misslatemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial stslemenls. A further description of our rosponsibilities for the audit of the financial ststements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website al= www.frc.or .uklaudilorsres onsibililies. This description foms part of our audilor's report. Extent to whl¢h the audit was consldèr8d capable of dete¢ting Irregularltles, Including fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statem6nts from irregularities, whether due to fraud Dr error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designad and perfomed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtalning audit evidence sufficient and approprk?le lo provide a basis for our opinion. We obtained an understsnding of the legal and regulatoryframeworks wthin which the charitable company operates, fo¢using on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the detemiination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The law5 and regulab'ons we Considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006. Charities Act together with the Charities SORP {FRS 102}- We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial slalemenls bul compliance with which might be fundatnental lo the charitable company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist wilhin the charitable company for fraud. The laws 8nd regulations we considered in this conlexi for the UK operations were The Education Ilndependenl School Standards) RègLJlations 2014, Health and Safely, General Data Protectlon Regulations, Safeguarding and Food Standards. Auditing stsndards limit the required audit procedures to Identrfy noncOmplian with these laws and regulations lo enquiry of the Govemors and other management and inspection of rggulatory and legal correspondence. if any. The greatest risk of materfal impact on the financial ststements is from Irregularllles, including fraud. to be within certain in¢ome streams and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond lo these risks included enquiries of management, and the Finance and General Purposes Committee about their own idenlificalion and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample lesling on the posting of journals. sampl& testing on non-fee income, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, Independent Schools Inspectorate. Ofsled and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. Page 14
Crowe INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT {CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. GABRIEL SCHOOLS FOUNDATION Owing lo the inherent limi18tions of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misslalemenls in the financial slalemenls, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non- compliance with laws and regulations lirregulariliesl is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial ststements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgory, intentional omissions, misrepre5enlalions, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-cornpliance and cannot bè oxpected to detect non- compliance wth all laws and regulations. U$• of our report This report is tnade solely lo the charitable CoMpanS members, as a body. in accordan with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might slate to the charitable cornpany's members those matters we are required lo 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 assum& responsibi5ity to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body. for our audit work, for this report. or for the opinions we have fornied.

PENSION COSTS Icontinuedl On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the govemmenl permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's judgment that transitional provisions introduced lo the reformed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to unlawful age discrimination. The government is respecting the Court's decision anrl has said it will engage fully with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member represenlalives to agree how the discriminations wll be reinedied. The govemmenl announced on 4 February 2021 that it inlgnds to proceed with a deferred choice underpin under which members will be able to choose either legacy or reformed scheme benefils in respect of their service during the period between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2022 at the polnl they become payable. The TPS is subject to a cost cap mechanism which was pul in place lo protect taxpayers against unforeseen changes in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 announced that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, in January 2019 announced a paus8 to the cost cap mechanism followng the Court of Appeal's ruling in the Mccloudlsargèant case and until there is certainly about the value of pensions lo employees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020, and a consultation was launched on 24 June on proposed Changes lo the cost control mechanism following a review by the Govemment A¢tuary. Following a public consultation, the Government have accepted three key proposals recommended by the Govemment Actuary, and are aiming lo implernent these changes in lime for the 2020 valuali()ns. The 2016 cost control v8lu8tions have since been completed in January 2022, and the osults indicated that there would be no ehanges lo benefits or member contributions required. The results of the cost cap valuation are not used to set the employer contribution rate, and HM Treasury has confimied that any changes lo the employer contribution rate resulting from the 2020 valuations will lake effect in April 2024. Until tho 2020 valuation is completed il is not possible to wnclude on any financial impact or future changes lo the contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly, no provision for any additional past benefit pension costs is included in these financial slalements. In addition to the above. the company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the plans arè held separately from those of the company in separately administered funds. Contributions totalling £108,121 {2021.- £105,894) were payable to these funds for the year. Page 37
