OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITtES
Objects and public benefit
Ghyll Royd school is a registered charity whose charitable objective is the education of children aged 2 to l l. Any
surpluses are re - invested ID the charity for the purpose of enhancing the facilities and resources available.
The trustees are aware of and have complied with the duty in section 2 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to
the public benefit guidance published by the Charities Conllnission. One of the school's objectives is to make educalion
at Ghyll Royd available to pupils whose families could not otherwise afford the fees through provision of assistance.
Pupils learn about charitable Projects in assemblies. in lessons and through guest speakers. Pupils then organise
charitable work to support local, national and international charities. This academic year pupils have beeD actively
involved in raising fiu)ds for Macrnillan Cancer Researc￿ Royal Britisb Legion, Cbildren in Neelt Comic Relief and
Motor Neurone Disease Association. In addition to this. the cbildren collected items for a lo¢al hon￿leSS shelter and
I]kley Food Bank.
The strength of the school is founded upon its excellent pastoral care, enhanced learning opportunities in small classes
with fiTSt Class teachers and endless excitement beyond the classroom. Friendliness and consideralion of others
contributes to strong family atmosphere Thrythin the s¢hool. Children can relish their childhood ￿th11St PTeparing for the
senior school that best suits thenL In October 2022, the Independent School Inspectorate visited Ghyll Royd and found
that the school passed all areas of the educatiot￿ quality and ¢ompliance inspection.
Objectives for the year
The board of trnstees, main objective continued to be to educatc all the s¢hool's pupils to at least the same high standard
as achieved in previous years. The Strategy for achieving this is to limit class sizes in order to n]aintain a high teacher to
pupil ratio which allows tailored provision to suit the needs of individual pupil. Ghyll Royd is small enough to ensure
there is a caring environment where each child is known and value(L yet is large enough to Provide a wide range of
facilities enabling the combination of excellent teaching with a great variety of activities. The aim is for the children to
feel safe but at the same time challenged, and understand that good behaviour is highly valued, and unpleasantness is not
accepted.
Principal A¢tivity
The principal activity of ihe charitable company is to ¢arry on and develop the s¢bool for the edu¢atton of its pupils and
lo provid¢ ihem with the appropriate facilities necessary for this purpose.
At the end of the academic year 2023124 there were 79 pupils in the School and 40 children attended Pre-school on a
part and full time basis, 20 children were enrolled for the full calender year. This compares to 77 pupils in the school
and 43 children in the pre-school in the prior year.

STRATEGIC REPORT
Aehlevement and perforniance
Review of Achievements and performance for the year
The pupils that left the school in July 2024 achieved great succ¢ss rate in their senior school entrance exan]s and SATS.
ID order to attain tbe highest achievements, the school tskes the best from the National Curriculum and go beyond it to
offer greater breadth and depth. The curriculum is designed to suit the needs of ihe children as they grow up in an ever
increasingly lecl]nologi¢xl world which demands not just the knowledge but also to skills to implement the knowledge.
In 2023124 the school was shortlisted, for the sixth conse¢utive year. in the Independent School of the Year awards.
Ghyll Royd received Tecognition in th¢ Small School category for the way the pupils carne together to raise money in
honour of a member of the School community who has been affected by Motor Neurone Disease. Additionally, the
school was the top Independent School for SATS in the Wharfe Valley.
Broad horizons are developed unhindered by league tables and national tests. Nevertheless. there are assessments of
effort and progress which pupils and parents receive regu]ai reports on.
Being physically active is an important part of the school with the children taking part in a wide range of sports. focusing
on rugby, hockey, cricket. netball, swinll￿ng and rounders. The Sports Hall and the pitches are in daily use by
enthusiastic chilthen and expeTien¢¢d ¢oa¢h¢s. This academic year the school retained Gold Activemark status for its
dedication and passion for providing a varied sports cu￿1¢U1uM and over 10 hours of physi¢al activity per weelL
Follo￿7ng on from our Previous year's in the National Schools Association Fooiball competition, the khool has
taken part in more ISA fixtures in football, rugby. swinllning and cross country. We also entered a local cross county
league with great results.
Mwi¢. Drama and Art also play an important part in the time sp¢nt at the School. OpportLll)ities contlnue to exist for
every child io learn an instrument and all children in the lower school take part in the Christmas Nativity. In Art children
are encouraged to develop their creative tslents, expressing themselves in a variety of ways and pupils are regularly
recognised in regional and national competitions. In 2023 five Ghyll Royd pupils were finalists in the Independent
Schools Associations National Art Competition, two pupils won their categories and two carne 2nd place.
Access to the school
The school ensures wider a¢¢¢ss to our schooling with fee reductions being offered to many families. In 2023124, 47
hildren in the school received support in the fonn of bursaries and scholarships.
The school is ¢ommitted lo enabling all young people to study at the school where they have met the minimum entry
standards, regardless of the financial circumstances of their parents. In addition, 5UPPOrt has been found to enable pupils
to remain at the school where iheiT parents have encountered serious financial difficulties. This broadens the social mix
of pupils in the school and the tn￿teeS believe that thi5 is of substantial benefit to both pupils and the community as
whole.
The vision for Ghyll Royd includes opportunilies to support the community. The school en¢ourages partnerships with
local maintained schools and participates in locally organised sports events with the Keighley and Craven School Gan)es
Organiser and also events organised between our Head of Sport and Indi￿dUal schools.
The school regularly invite5 local independent and state schools for sports fixtures and to use the facilities. The school
h05ted one of the Wharfedale Cross County competilions with many surrounding schools attending.
The school grounds are regularly used by local bu5ine5ses and sports clubs including l]kley Harriers and Burley Trojans
FC. Several organisations, including Olicana Gymnastics, use the sports hall each week both in the everjings and at the
weekends. The hall is considered a valuable as5¢t by numerous clubs in the community.
In April 2024, Mr Chris O'connor, Director of Sportscool Ikeds North, began his role as our Head of Sport and
Holiday Camp Leader. Using his experience and local reputation, there was a Seamless transition from an external
holiday camp into one ran directly from the school. The camp provides a safe, fun and strnctured rnulti-sports offering at
competitive rate. The camp is used by Ghyll Royd pupils and children from the surrounding areas. The hall is also
available for birthday parties in the hall under the agreement that Mr O'connor hosls the activities, strengthening our
reputstion with families in the area.

Achi¢v¢ment and performvdnce
Community links
Sports facilities including the sports hall are used extensiv¢ly by local clubs throughout th¢ y¢ar. Local schools take part
in sports events and the holiday camp is attended by many local children.
The school employs 33 people, a large proportion of whom are based in the local area. Whenever possible, fo(Ml and
otber supplies which are needed for the day to day running of the school are purchased locally. Maintenance work is
arried out by local contractors.
Ffinanelal revieiv
Annual review
The school pupil numbers have incwsed to 79 and the number of cbildren attending Preschool Teduced to 40. This is
slightly lower than the previous year and is near ¢apacity in Pre-school and Nursery. It is the aim of the Management
Committee and the Headteacher to achieve continued growth which is expected to be challenging due to the introduction
of VAT and the impact of affordabiltty for parents. The school are committed to Mini￿Se this impact because of the
excellent quality of education and pastoral care provided by the school.
Reserves policy
Note 17 of the financial ststements show unrestricted funds amounting to £197.885 (2023.. £251,341). There are no
funds freely available because of the amounts invested in fixed assets. The board has detern)ined that the appropriate
level of free reserves which are not invested in tangible fixed should be equivalent to 10 weeks expenditure,
approxinlately £222,000.
Our policy is, therefore, to build up reserves to that level by tneans of annual operating surpluses. These are anticipated
to be a¢hieved over the medium tenn due to the regulatory changes which impact the school, predominantly VAT and
renKTrval of the business rates relief and also headline infiationary pressures on the cost base.
The board has ¢ontinued to keep the overdraft facility under review to ensure that in the absence of any free reserves, it
ren)ains adequate to Cover the school's working capital requirements.
Financial Revieiv
The school has operated with a deficit in the year. Income continued to grow, increasing by IOO/o over the previous year,
which was jointly due to increases in school fees and the success of the Pre-school and Nursery. Expenditure also
increased by 10 %, a significant PTOPOrtion of this was due to wage increases for teaching staff and extra resources hired
foT SEND and maintenance of the school buildings and grounds.
The school. pre-scbool and nursery have strong pupil numbers. the school expects to operate similarly in the next year
despite the regulatory impact set out above. The school shall carefvlly review its cost base coupled with expected
inflationary cost pressures and detennine an appropriate revenue model to ensure sustainable growth. All income is
made available for investment in the school and its teaching resources. curriculw marketing and pupil facilities.
Future plrdns
Key objectives:
- Develop Pre-school and Nursery to increase numbers to 60.
- Ensure a Receplion Class of l 0-12 is achieved each year with a view to increasing the class number available to 14.
Achieve the maximum number of children which stands at 142 that Ghyll Royd is registered for, 82 pupils in school
and 60 pupils in nursery.
- Continue t() engage with the local community through a calendar of activities.

Ddent Auditors to the Members of

Oplnion
We have audited the fu￿￿¢18[ statements of Ghyll Royd School (the 'chaTitable company,) for the year ended
31 August 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and
notes to tbe financkal statements, including a SUMM￿ of Si￿lfiCant accounting policies. Th¢ finan¢ial reporting
framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards
(United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements..
give a true and fair view of ihe state of the charitsble compatty's affairs as at 31 August 2024 and of its incoming
resources and application of resources. including its 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 SiandaTds on Auditing {UK} {ISAs (UK)) and applicable law.
Our responsibilities under those standards are fiuther described in the Auditors, responsibilities for the audit of the
fjnancial statements section of our report. We are independent of the clmritable company 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 ￿lfIlled OUT Otber ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit
evid¢nce we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. These are however the
charitable coMpan￿S first audited financial statements and the corresponding (2023) period was not audited.
Conclusions relating to golng concern
In auditing the financial ststements. we have concluded tbat the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in
the preparation of the fllwicial staten￿ntS is appropriate.
Based on the WO￿ we have perfonned, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions
that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going
concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the fitwicial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the tn￿teeS with respect to going concern are described in the relevant
sections of this report.
Other inforni*tion
The trustees are responsible for the other inforn]ation. The other inforniation Comprises tbe infomlltion included in the
Annual Report, other than the financial statements and OUT Report of the Independent Auditor5 thereon.
Our opini¢)n on the financial statements does not cover the other information an(L except to the extent othenvise
explicitly stated in OUT report, we do not expres5 atty forni of assurance conclusion thereon.
In comiection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to Tead the other Inforn￿tiOn an4 in doing
so, consider whether the other infornution is materially inconsistent with the fllmncial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify su¢b material inconsisten¢i¢s or
apparent material misstaiements. we ar¢ required lo detern)ine whether this gives rise to a material rnisstatement in the
finan¢ial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have perforn]ed, we conclude that there is a material
rnisstatement of this other infom]ation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion5 on other nv4tters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the infornwtion given in the Report of the Tn￿teeS for the financial year for which the financial ststements are
prepared is consistent with the financial statemenls. and
th¢ Report of the Trustees has been prepared in ac¢ordan¢e with applicable legaI requirements.

Matters on whlch we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtsined in the course of
the audiL we have not identified mafrrial misstatements in the Report of th¢ Tnthes.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requtres us to T¢POrt to you
if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records hav¢ not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from
branches not visited by us. or
the finan¢ial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns. or
certain discloswes of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made. or
we bave not received all the infonnation and explanations we require foT OUT audit.
Responsibilities of tru$te¢$
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, the tn￿te¢S (who are also the directors of the
baritsble 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 tntstees determine is necessary
to enable the preparation of fmancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or e￿Or.
tn preparing the fmancial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the eharitable companys ability to
ontinue as a going concenL disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the trustees either tntend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations. or have
no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responslbllltles 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 eTror. and to Issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in ac¢oTdance
with ISAS (UK) will always det¢ct a mateTial misststement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material If, individually or in the aggregate, they ¢ould reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken otl th¢ basis of tbese fu￿nCIal statements.
The extent to which QUT procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- we assessed the extent of compliance with the law and regulations identified above througb making enquiries of
management,. and
- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to
instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the suseeptibiltty of the Company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining a
understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to frau( their knowledge of
actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and Tegulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and ovetride of controls, we:
- tested journal entries and other adjustments for appropriaten¢s5 to identify any unusual transactlQDS, and evaluation the
business rationale of Si￿lficant transaction outside the norn]al course of the business.
- reviewed the application of accounting policies with focus on those with heightened estimation uncertainty.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non4omplian¢¢ with laws and regulations. we designed procedures which
include¢ but were not limited to..
- agreeing finan¢ial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation. and
- enquiring of management as to ac￿al and potential litigation and claims.
A fiffther description of our responsibilities for the audit of th¢ financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting
Council's website at www.frc.org.uklauditorsre5pon5ibilities. This description forn￿ part of our Report of the
Independent Auditors.
