## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **Ethos, aims and objectives**
Rydal Penrhos seeks to benefit the public through the pursuit of its stated aims ‘to advance education and learning’. The Trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. The School welcomes pupils from all backgrounds; to admit a prospective pupil the School must be satisfied that the School will be able to educate and develop that pupil to the optimum of his or her potential and in line with the general standards achieved by their peers. The Methodist foundation of the School is important to its identity and the way it promotes pupils’ attitudes and responsibilities to each other and society at large.
Key objectives for the year were:
- To improve the financial operation of the School by focussing the impact of expenditure on pupil outcomes. Also by simplifying the School fee structure and seeking to restrain fee increase through improvements in efficiency.
- To enhance the quality of teaching and learning. This to be achieved by a strong focus on in service training and performance management for teaching and support staff.
- To further improve academic performance. The results in the School are already of a high standard compared with the National Average, however, we feel that we should always strive to be better than the previous year and therefore set targets for the Heads of Faculty. Our Value Added as reported by Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring, CEM, is very high, particularly in GCSE and we often achieve scores commensurate with being in the top 5% of Schools in the country. It is at ‘A’ Level where we would like to improve further as it is often at this level where the achievements of GCSE are hard to follow. Excellent teaching is one of the keys to improving pupil numbers.
- To improve the School’s relationship with all stakeholders, especially pupils/ parents. Staff and alumni. This to be achieved by appropriate two-way communication including regular questionnaires and functions such as parental dinners.
- To expedite the development of the School’s estate. This to be achieved through the sale of redundant assets for reinvestment.
- To improve significantly the professionalism and performance of all support functions including finance, HR and communications/marketing.
## **STRATEGIC REPORT**
## **Review of Operational Performance of the School**
## **Academic**
Rydal Penrhos School pupils continued to thrive, underpinned by a strong supportive community spirit. Pupils achieved excellent results, from the youngest Pre-Prep children to 18-year-old ‘A’ level. The wide range of cocurricular activities, much valued by pupils and parents, saw outstanding personal attainment at local, regional and national levels.
## GCSEs:
All GCSE Mathematics candidates from Year 10 scored results graded 7, 8 and 9 (equivalent to the former A* and A grades), and this a year ahead of their peers.
Our (I)GCSE candidates in Year 11 achieved a 98.4% pass rate (at grades 4 - 9, A* - C), with a mean number of passes per candidate of 9.1. Amongst the 4 subjects still graded under the former A* to G system, A* was by far the most frequently-scored grade; with regard to the 17 subjects with the new numerical grades, the combined total of grades 9, 8 and 7 (equivalent to the former A* and A) represented nearly half of the total grades awarded in these subjects.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **Academic (continued)**
## GCSEs (continued):
The Value Added scores for these results is even more noteworthy, as almost all subjects had positive value added and some subjects added as much as 2 grades per subject on prediction.
## ‘A’ Levels:
The ‘A’ Level pass rate was 100% of which 74.2% of these grades were at A*, A and B, and 89.9% from A* to C inclusive. This was however a very good cohort and we must be aware that all year groups differ and we must therefore try to maintain these high standard.
## **Extra-Curricular Activities**
The School recognises the importance of a balanced curriculum and opportunities to develop interests and skills beyond the classroom; music, drama and sport play an important part of School life and participation is encouraged at all levels and ages, so developing wider interests and team spirit and resilience. Sport continues to play a valuable part in School life and the School’s enviable location enables pupils to enjoy sailing, golf and outdoor activities such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme as well as traditional team sports. Areas such as the Speech and Drama programme and Music tutoring improve confidence and self-esteem.
There has been an increased emphasis this year on improving the Academic offering on the extra-curricular programme, this has included such things as Model United Nations, Young Enterprises, Debating Society, the Scientific Society and combining the ever-increasing digital age with activities including the Coding Club. The prep School's curriculum continued to develop, embracing new ideas and ways of teaching particularly in the areas of Science, and the facilities continue to enable pupils to develop new skills and to become more aware of the environment around them. A diverse range of activities are available to all age groups and focus on everything from Outdoor Education, Sport, Music, Drama, Crafts.
## **Community Service**
The School continues to play an important part in the local community; pupils provide support to local events and raise funds for many good causes.
Local schools benefit from using the School’s astroturf pitch and other sports facilities free of charge as well as participating in sports tournaments hosted by Rydal Penrhos.
The School’s place in the local community has been more prevalent than ever over the last 12 months during the coronavirus pandemic. Many outreach systems were launched by the School to assist in an uncertain time. The School opened its boarding accommodation for keyworkers who were unable to go home during the pandemic. The Design Technology department also produced thousands of PPE masks for care homes across the region, with some pupils even doing the same from home.
The School remained open for pupils of keyworker children and during the first lockdown period, those in the community were also able to access the essential service. Pupils and staff have also taken part in a large number of fundraising activities for worthy causes both regionally and nationally in school hours and during their own time.

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **Scholarships and bursaries**
The Trustees view the School’s bursary awards as important in helping to ensure that children from families who would not otherwise afford the fees can access education offered by the School. The School aims to develop exceptional talent, to widen participation and demonstrate public benefit and this is supported by the provision of scholarships and bursaries for senior pupils.
Bursaries are available to those who meet the entry requirements on the basis of parental means or relief of hardship. In assessing means the School takes a number of factors into consideration including income, investments, savings and circumstances. Details of bursaries, allowances and scholarships can be found in note 2.
## **Financial review and future plans**
It had been planned that both income and expenditure would fall during 2019 – 2020 as the transition from a boarding/day school to a day school accelerated.
A fall in income of circa £1.5million due to Project Bold was accompanied by a fall in expenditure of circa £1.4 million.
However, the impact of Covid-19 was significant and had an estimated net negative impact of circa £900k.
The 2018 – 19 year had been bolstered by property sales of £1m and so the net deterioration in income of circa £3.2 million was only partly offset by expenditure reductions of £1.4 million.
The rationalisation of resources, especially the disposal of redundant buildings and further staffing reductions related to the cessation of boarding will continue through 2020 – 2021 and we anticipate the school returning to an operating cash surplus during late 2022 as all the structural changes are complete.
## **Investment powers and policy**
The investment powers are governed by the Memorandum & Articles of Association that permits the funds of the School and its subsidiary charities to be invested in any investment or security as the charity may think fit. Investments are held under the management of the TMCP and Investec, which provides investment advice.
## **Reserves**
Total reserves of the group at 31 August 2020 were £1.793m (2019: £3.341m), with unrestricted funds of £1.386m (2019: £2.932m) which includes designated funds of £0.625m (2019: £0.709m). At 31 August 2020 the group had restricted funds of £0.407m (2019: £0.409m) and a permanent endowment of £5 (2019: £5). Further details of the restricted and designated funds are given in note 18.
The Trustees regard ‘free’ reserves as being the reserves of the School after deducting fixed assets not covered by specific bank financing and investments held to generate income for the various Trust funds. On the basis described there is a deficit of free reserves of £1.978m (2019: £1.2m). Similar to many other independent schools, the School has invested heavily in fixed assets which have resulted in this deficit.
The need for day-to-day working capital is met by careful management of short-term liquid resources.
The policy is to reduce the level of free reserves deficit from annual operating surpluses, subject to the prior demands of further capital expenditure to equip the School with the up-to-date facilities needed to maintain the standard of educational services currently provided.

**TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **Fixed assets**
Post year end, in December 2020 the Trustees obtained an independent valuation of the property portfolio. The value of 30 properties exceeded £27m and a number of properties have since been sold.
The treatment of fixed assets is described in note 1 to the accounts.
## **Staff**
The School employs suitably qualified staff and encourages further training through regular in service training and external courses.
The Trustees wish to thank the staff for their dedication and commitment in helping the School achieve its charitable objectives.
## **Risk management and principal risks and uncertainties**
The Governing Body is responsible for the management of the risks faced by the School, and a formal review of the risk management processes is undertaken regularly.
The main risks that the Trustees have identified and the plans to manage those risks are:
- **Reputation** – the School’s success is built on its reputation for the education and wellbeing of our pupils.
This risk is managed though safeguarding policies, providing a broad and attractive curriculum, staff recruitment policies, pastoral support for both pupils and staff and management of health and safety matters.
- **Financial viability** – our ability to operate is reliant on the prompt receipt of fee income based on stable pupil numbers and effective management of costs.
This risk is managed by marketing activity to maintain and expand pupil numbers, maximising pupil retention, maintaining a reputation for academic excellence and active cash flow management.
The Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated as far as possible.
It is the Board’s policy that key controls should include:
- Formal agendas for all Board and Committee meetings
- Detailed terms of reference for all Committees
- Comprehensive strategic planning, budgeting and management accounting
- Established organisational structure and lines of reporting
- Clear authorisation and approval levels
- Vetting procedures as required by law for the protection of children

## **RYDAL PENRHOS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES**
**TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The Trustees (who are also directors of Rydal Penrhos Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report (including the group director’s and strategic report) and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

- Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable UK Accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable group will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company and the group’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Disclosure of information to auditors**
Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees’ report is approved has confirmed that:
- so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable group’s auditors are unaware, and
- that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable group’s auditors are aware of that information.
## **Auditors**
McLintocks (NW) Limited were appointed as auditor to the group and parent charitable company in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution proposing that they be re-appointed will be put at a General Meeting.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT**
## **TO THE MEMBERS OF RYDAL PENRHOS LIMITED**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Rydal Penrhos Limited (the ‘charitable parent company’) and its subsidiaries (‘the group’) for for the year ended 31 August 2020 which comprise comprise the group statement of financial activities, the group balance sheet, the charitable company balance sheet, the group statement of cash flows and the related 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:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and of the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 August 2020 and of the group’s and parent charitable company’s net movement in funds, including the 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 Auditor’s 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 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:
- the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
- the Trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the 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.
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report set, 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 this 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 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.

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT**
## **TO THE MEMBERS OF RYDAL PENRHOS LIMITED**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **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 Trustees’ Report (which incorporates the strategic report and the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the strategic report and the directors’ report included in the Trustees’ Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Report (which incorporates the strategic report and the directors’ report).
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company; or
- the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
- the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the Trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 group’s and the parent charitable company’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 group or the parent charitable company 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.
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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

**RYDAL PENRHOS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Charity information**
Rydal Penrhos is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales and registered with the Charity Commission. Rydal Penrhos Limited was incorporated on 19 December 1996 (company number: 3294434) and registered as a charity on 17 July 1997 (charity number: 1063489). The registered office is Old House, Pwllycrochan Avenue, Colwyn Bay, Wales, LL29 7BT.
The group consists of Rydal Penrhos Limited and all of its subsidiaries.
The Charitable Company’s financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) issued 1 January 2015 (update bulletin 2, effective 1 January 2019).
## **Legal Status**
The members of the company are the Trustees. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the Charity.
## **Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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 (FRS 102) (as amended for accounting periods commencing 1 January 2019)”. The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
The charitable company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The School has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements for parent company information presented within the consolidated financial statements:
- Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures;
- Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues’: Carrying amounts, interest income/expense and net gains/losses for each category of financial instrument; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;
- Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Compensation for key management personnel.
## **Basis of consolidation**
The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of Rydal Penrhos Limited and all of its subsidiaries (i.e entities that the group controls through its power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefit) on a line by line basis.
All financial statements are made up to 31 August 2020.
All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

**RYDAL PENRHOS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES**
**NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
## **Going concern**
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, despite the COVID-19 global pandemic, current year loss incurred and the net liability position. As a result management and the Trustees are realigning their strategy to meet the demands of the ever changing environment. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
In the application of the accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgement, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future periods.
The judgement that the catering equipment provided to the School through a contract with Holroyde Howes effectively a loan and contingent liability (as set out in note 23) rather than a finance lease is considered a significant judgement.
In the view of the Trustees, no other assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
## **School fees and similar income**
Fees receivable and charges for services and use of premises are accounted for in the period to which they relate, after deducting allowances, scholarships and other remissions granted by the School, but including contributions received from restricted funds.
Fees received for education to be provided in future years are carried forward as deferred income.
## **Investment income**
Income from investments is accounted for on a receivable basis and includes all relevant tax credits.
## **Donations, legacies, grants and other voluntary income**
Voluntary income is accounted for as and when entitlement arises, the amount can be reliably quantified and the economic benefit to the School is considered probable.
Voluntary income for the School’s general purposes is accounted for as unrestricted income to general funds. Where the donor or an appeal has imposed trust law restrictions, income is credited to the relevant restricted fund.
## **Government grants**
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.
A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met . Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability

**RYDAL PENRHOS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES**
**NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)**
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability from a past event is considered probable. Irrecoverable VAT is included with the item of expense to which it relates. Costs of charitable activities include expenditure associated with the running of the School and include both direct and support costs.
## **Allocation of support costs**
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include finance, personnel, payroll and governance. Governance costs comprise the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements including strategic planning for its future development, external audit, any legal advice for the School’s Trustees, the costs of Board and Committee meetings and of preparing statutory accounts and satisfying public accountability.
## **Fixed assets**
There are no accurate records available of the historic costs of the group’s land and buildings and other assets. As a result the Trustees have had all land and building revalued post year end.
Costs incurred since 1999 on both the Phase I and Phase II development of the School’s land and buildings have been capitalised and are being written off in the Statement of Financial Activities over a forty year period from the date the assets became operational. In addition, the costs of developing two properties so that they may be used for boarding accommodation have been capitalised and are also being written off in the Statement of Financial Activities over a forty year period from the date the assets became operational. This includes the cost of buildings constructed on freehold sites in the name of the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes and these are being depreciated over a forty year period. Trustees of the Methodist Secondary Education Trust Deed of 1903 are custodian Trustees at the direction of Rydal Penrhos Limited, as beneficial owners (who are the managing Trustees).
The land and buildings referred to as Hovey House and Blackburn’s Piece have been capitalised in the consolidated balance sheet and the property (excluding land) is being depreciated over a fifty year period.
Expenditure on plant and equipment costing more than £1,000 is capitalised and written off in the Statement of Financial Activities at 20% straight line per annum. Expenditure on solar panels has also been included within plant and equipment but is being written off at 5% straight line per annum. Expenditure on motor vehicles costing more than £1,000 is capitalised in the accounts and is being written off in the Statement of Financial Activities at 20% straight line per annum. All other expenditure is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities for the year.
## **Fixed asset investments**
Listed investments are valued at market value as at the balance sheet date. Unrealised gains and losses arising on the revaluation of investments are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities and are allocated to the appropriate Fund according to the “ownership” of the underlying assets.
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
## **Stock**
Stock represents goods for resale and is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
16
**RYDAL PENRHOS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIES**
**NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due for the provision of services delivered. Prepayments are recognised at the amount prepaid or the amount it has paid in advance.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and deposits with a short term maturity of three months or less from the date of opening the deposit account.
## **Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the School has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured reliably, amounts are recognised at their settlement amount.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity that have been set aside by the Trustees for specific purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restrited fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are retained on trust for the benefit of the charity as a capital fund.
## **Operating leases**
Rents payable under operating leases are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
## **Pension costs**
For eligible employees, the School contributes to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS), a superannuation scheme which provides benefits based on final pensionable pay. The TPS is a multiemployer scheme and the School is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme. In accordance with FRS 102, the TPS is therefore treated as a defined contribution scheme and the contributions are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as they are paid each year.
Support staff may join the Aviva defined contribution group personal pension plan to which employees currently contribute 5% of their total pensionable salaries whilst the School makes a contribution of 3.2%. The contributions are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when incurred.
Contributions are also paid to the Methodist Ministers’ Pension Scheme in respect of one employee. This is a defined benefit pension scheme, however the scheme position is highly immaterial to the financial statements and has been treated as a defined contributions sheme.
## **Financial instruments**
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised with the exception of investments which are held at fair value. Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with trade and other debtors. A specific provision is made for debts for which recoverability is in doubt. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise all creditors except social security and other taxes.
