We Idenlffled and assessed the risks of material mi5Statemenl of Ihe financial statements from Irregularfties, whether due to fraud or error, and discuss￿ Ihese betsveen our audrt team members. We then designed and performed audit wo¢edure$ responsNe to those risks, including obtaining au(Jil evidence sufficient and appropriale to provKJe a b8$is for our opinion. We obtslned an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks wthin which the charitable company operates. focusing on those laws and regulations that have a diwt effect on the determination of materlal amounts and disdosures in the finanGial statements. The laws and regulations we considered In this context were the Companias Act 2006, taxation legislatk)n. together wlth the Charllles SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required wmplixnce with these laws and regulatlons as part of our audit procedures on the related flnancial statement items. In addllk)n. we consldered provis￿n8 of other18ws and regulations that do not have a dlrect effact on the finandal statements but compliance with which might be fundamental lo the charitable company's ability lo operate or to avold a material penalty. We also conshdered the opportunities and incentNes that may exlst within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we consldered In thls context for the UK operations were The Education Ilndependent School Standards} Regulations 2014, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPRI and Employment Legislation. Auditing standards limit the required audlt procedures to identify non-complkgnel with these laws and regulation5 to enqulry of the trustees and other management and insrection of regulatw and legal correspotKlence. If any. We Identrfied the greatest risk of material impact on the finanoial ststements from Irregularilles, including fraud, lo be within the liming of recogn1t￿n of voluntsry aThJ other Income 8nd the overr¢de of controls by managernenl. Our audit procedures lo respond to these rlsks included enquiries of management and the Finance and Risk Committee about th8ir own id8ntrficali(Jn and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals. reviewiThJ accountir¥J estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory orrespondence with the Charity Commission. IndeperKlent Schools Inspectorate, ¢)tsted and reading mlnutes of meetlngs of those charged with governance. Owing to th8 inherent limitations of an audil, there 1$ an unavoKlable rlsk that we may not have detected some mat￿la1 misstatements in finaneial statements, even though we have property planned and rormed our audit in accordance wlth audltlng 31andard$. For example. the further removed non- compliance with laws and regulatk)ns (Irregularltles} from the events and transactions refiected in the finan¢lal slatements, the less Ilkelythe Inherently Ilmited procedures required by auditing standards would Idenltfy it. In *Jdition. as wlth any audit. there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentKJnal omissions, misrepresentations, ¢x the override of intemal ontrols. We are not responsible for preventing nonvcompliarKe and cannot be expected to del￿1 non- compliance with 811 laws Wtd regulations.

The functional ￿rrencY of the School is GBP because that is th8 Gurrency of the wirnwy economic environment in which the Sch¢)oi operates.

The Sch￿1 is a Publlc Benefit Entity registered as a tharity in England and Wales and a smpany limited by guarantee. 11 was incorwraled on 10 July 1998 (company number: 3596520). Golng Concern The preparatlon of financial statements requires an assesgmenl of the appropriateness of adopting a going concern assumption slnce this assumes the availability of adequate fin8ncial resources io allow the School lo contlnue for the foreseeable future. the time of approvi￿ these financial ststements, the general economiG picture and fLrture political KYessur8s contiftues to evolve as does the potential impact on the Sthool, in ¢ommon with many other businesses. The Governors ￿ntinuallY rev￿ the position ¢arefulty and prudently to ensure the long-lerm conllnulng operation of Ihg School. the ongoing provision of ¥¢hooling for the pupils and the employment of our staff. The Govern(Ks regul8dy T￿￿1ve and review financial arKI other forecasls covering on8. five and frfteen year future periods. The future financing of all capital pmjects is carefully consldered before approval is gwen lo proceed. SensIt￿ty scenarlos are produ¢xd toensure that there are adequale bank torrowing facilities to provide a suff￿an1 safety net Should varioug potential adverse events oGcur. After rewewlng the School's budgets, forecasts and projections and, recognising that pupil numbers are perhaps the most important factor in the financial Vfdbility of a school, reviewing the level of appllcatlons lo join the school in the future, the Govemors hav8 a reasonable expectation that il has adequate resources, indudir¢g current ￿8h reseryes and banknng fadlibes, to conllThJe In operational existerKg for the foreseeable future. The Schcol therefore continues to adopt the wing concem basis in preparing its finanThal statements. Crltl¢al a¢¢ountlng Judgements and key $ourc•s of •stimation uncertainty In the appllcalion of the accountlng policies, Governors are required to make judgements, e8tlmaleg. and assumptions about the carrying value of as$els and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. T￿￿ estimates and undertying assumplM)ns are based on historical experien￿ and other factors that are considered to bg rglgvanl. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates arml underlylng assumption8 are revlewed on an ongoing basi¥. Revisions lo accounting 8stim8les are recognised in the period in whlch the estimate is revised rf the revision affects only that period. or in the period of the revision and future pgriods rf the revision affected current and future periods. In the view of ihe Governors, no assumpllons conceming the future orestlmation uncertainly affecting assels or liabilities at the balanca sheet dale are likely to resutt in a material Jjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
