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

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-

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023
AccouKfiNG POLICIES
Bas1$ of accounling
The flnan¢lal statements have been prepared In accy)rdancg wlth the Financial Reportlng
standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS102}, th8 Companies Act 2006
and the Statement of Recommended Practice 8ppllcable to tharilles, the Charities SORP
IFRS 1021.
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 activities oflhe charlty's wholty owned subsidiary company. Sl. Ca￿￿Tin8'S Enterprises
Limited, are immaterlal to those of the charity arKI consolidated financial Statements have,
therefore. nol been prepared.
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.
