TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
The Trustees present their Annual Report for the year ended 31 July 2024 under the Charities Act 2011 (the Act), and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice together with the audited financial statements for the year, and confirm that the latter comply with the Foundation’s Trust Deed in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Reference and Administration Information
The Oundle School Foundation (the “Foundation”) was established under a Trust Deed as an unincorporated association on 6 May 1999, as affected by order of 4th July 2006, as amended by resolution dated 31 August 2006 and deed dated 4 June 2009, and is registered under the Charities Act 2011, charity registration number 1075698.
The Foundation is governed by a Board of up to six Trustees, appointed by the Governing Body of The Corporation of Oundle School.
The information with respect to Trustees, officers and advisers is set out on page 3 and forms part of this Report.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Oundle School Foundation is a charitable subsidiary of The Corporation of Oundle School. All major donations to Oundle School are directed to the Foundation, which holds all the donations in appropriate investments until grants are made to Oundle School. The Trustees meet three times a year to monitor investments and to approve payments to Oundle School, ensuring that all payments are in accordance with the terms of any donation, bequest or endowment.
Governance and Organisational Management
All executive powers are vested in the Trustees. By convention, three of the Trustees should be members neither of the Governing Body of Oundle School nor of the Grocers’ Company, and when one of them resigns a replacement Trustee is proposed to the Governing Body of Oundle School for approval.
The Trustees of the Foundation delegate the day-to-day running of the Foundation to the Oundle School Bursar and to the Foundation’s Secretary and his staff. The Bursar and Secretary report to the Trustees on a regular basis regarding progress and activities.
Fundraising and administration costs are donated by Oundle School; the Trustees are very grateful for the services provided. Further information is provided in note 2.
All of the Senior Management Team are employed by Oundle School, which covers all their employment costs.
Recruitment and Training of Trustees
New Trustees are inducted into the workings of the Foundation at an induction workshop organised for them by the Bursar or Secretary. Trustees are able to attend specialist training as considered appropriate to their roles.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
Objectives and Activities
The object of the Foundation is to provide charitable support for the advancement of the education of the pupils at Oundle School, including the provision of bursaries, scholarships and the funding of capital projects connected to Oundle School. Each potential grant is considered on its merit by the Trustees, who ensure that it meets the donor’s wishes and the needs and priorities of the School in relation to the policies and intentions of the Governing Body of Oundle School.
Bursary requests emanate from the Grants Committee of the School, having taken recommendations from Oundle School’s Bursaries Committee. The Grants Committee also considers capital grants for specified fundraising projects. Bids for these grants are considered three times a year at Trustees’ meetings. The beneficiary of the Foundation is exclusively Oundle School, the object of which is to provide an education of the highest quality for its pupils. Achievement of the Foundation’s aims will further its legal purposes of supporting the School.
The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 and have had due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission and to its supplementary guidance on advancing education and on fee-charging. The Trustees have referred to this guidance when reviewing activities to ensure they contribute to meeting the Foundation’s objectives.
Review of Activities and Achievements
The Corporation of Oundle School has a development office, the Oundle Society, which raises funds on behalf of The Oundle School Foundation. Through this auspice the School seeks to encourage charitable contributions from former pupils, parents and friends. These contributions are sought to enhance the Foundation’s bursaries and scholarships funds, and to provide funds for particular capital and revenue projects. The fundraising strategy has been to maximise the size of individual gifts, widen participation, and to publicise the mutual advantages ofgifts of shares and securities, and of legacies. The Society holds a range of events, and administers those organised by the Old Oundelian Club, in order that members of the community should be as closely engaged as possible with the School’s charitable priorities. These events are supplemented by a range of communications, including a monthly e-bulletin and periodic reports on the work being funded by the Foundation.
Most gifts are solicited and agreed through one-to-one meetings or exchanges with members of staff, or through telephone calls made by staff or by current or former pupils.
Neither external professionals nor commercial participators are appointed to solicit gifts on the Foundation’s behalf. Those who are likely to receive a telephone fundraising call are notified by letter in advance, and given the opportunity to opt out of receiving the call. The Foundation records and adheres to both opt-in preferences concerning how people wish or do not wish to be contacted, and granular preferences concerning particular communications, publications, and subject matter. Great care is taken in dealing with individuals evidencing any sort of vulnerability. No subsequent attempt to persuade is ever made following a negative response to a particular fundraising overture, and the subject is always assured that he or she will remain a valued member of Oundle’s broader social community irrespective of the response.
The Foundation is voluntarily subject to the Fundraising Regulator, having previously subscribed to the antecedent Fundraising Standards Board. It therefore subscribes to the Code of Fundraising Practice, and is an organisational member of the Institute of Fundraising. The Foundation is unaware of any occasion in the reporting period upon which it has failed to comply with the Code.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
Review of Activities and Achievements (continued)
The Foundation received no complaints requiring resolution during the reporting period. In the previous year no complaints were received. It should be noted that such a low number is typical for the organisation, and is a consequence bothofthe care taken over compliance matters, and of the inherently close and multi-faceted relationship that the Foundation’s closed community of supporters has with Oundle School.
Oundle School also has a legacy society — the William Laxton Society — and is grateful to all those who have pledged legacies to the School through the Foundation. During the year the Foundation was the beneficiary of 7 (2023: 5) legacies totalling £779,000 (2023: £1,488,000).
During the year donation income totalled £2,209,000 (2023: £1,105,000). The main fund-raising undertaken in the year was for Bursaries and Scholarship Funds totalling £2,130,000 (2023: Bursaries and Scholarship Funds, totalling £900,000).
The Corporation of Oundle School donated £100,000 (2023: £100,000) to the Foundation during the year. This donation was placed in the endowment fund for bursaries and scholarships.
In the year, the Foundation contributed £1,016,000 (2023: £1,529,000) towards the charitable expenditure at Oundle School. Of this sum, £1,009,000 was to fund bursaries and scholarships awarded by the School in the year (2023: £1,096,000).
The Trustees expect that further income will be received from various donors during the coming year, and that contributions will continue to be made to the Corporation of Oundle School for the advancement of the education of its pupils.
Reserves
The Foundation’s reserves at 31 July 2024 totalled £24,474,000 (2023: £20,800,000) of which £330,000 (2023: £150,000) was unrestricted. Unrestricted reserves can be used at the Trustees’ discretion for the advancement of the education of the pupils at Oundle School. The Trustees feel that this balance sheet shows a strong net asset position.
An analysis of the total of endowment and restricted funds is shown in notes 12 and 13 to the financial statements.
As at 31 July 2024 the total value of endowment, restricted and unrestricted funds for bursaries and scholarships was £23,521,000 (2023: £20,336,000). The intention remains to build a fund to support those pupils who have the ability to thrive at Oundle School but whose parents or sponsors could not otherwise afford the fees.
The free reserves of the Foundation at 31 July 2024 were £330,000 (2023: £150,000), being the unrestricted funds that had not been designated for a particular purpose by the Trustees. The target level of free reserves is £100,000.
Risk Management
The Trustees of the Foundation are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Foundation. Detailed considerations of risk are delegated to the Finance Committee of the Governing Body of Oundle School, which is assisted by the Senior Management Team of the School. A formal risk management policy, that embraces the Foundation, has been adopted by the Governing Body, and the Leadership Team is responsible for implementing control procedures on a day-to-day basis.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
Risk Management (continued)
The Trustees consider variability of investment returns to constitute the Foundation’s major risk. Formal reviews of the Foundation’s risk management processes are undertaken by the Trustees on an annual basis.
During the year the Trustees have taken action to ensure that this risk is managed by reviewing investment policies and asset management.
Any investment decision carries with it risks of different types (for example, risk of underperformance, risk from mismatching of assets and liabilities and liquidity risk). The Trustees recognise these different types of risk and seek to minimise them as far as possible by regular monitoring of the performance of the Investment Manager, seeking appropriate advice on the suitability of the assets with regard to the Foundation’s liabilities, and by diversification of the Foundation’s assets.
The Trustees’ overall objective is to preserve and enhance the real capital value of the Foundation’s assets via a combination of investment income and capital growth. This latter constraint means that the Trustees are unable to adopt a minimum risk investment strategy. The Trustees, therefore, take some investment risk, provided that it is appropriate given the liabilities and circumstances of the Foundation.
Through the risk management processes established for the Foundation, the Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary and where possible. It is recognised that systems can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
Investment Policy and Performance
At 31 July 2024 £19,295,000 (2023: £17,944,000) of assets of the Foundation were held in managed funds and deposits.
The Trustees’ overall investment policy is decided against the background of the Foundation’s liabilities and guided by a number of factors, some of which are set out below. The Trustees seek to maximise the return on the Foundation’s assets commensurate with an acceptable level of risk, recognising the need for the security of donations and the implications for Oundle School should the Foundation have insufficient assets to meet the liabilities for ongoing grants as they fall due.
The Trustees’ overriding funding principles for the Foundation are to ensure that there are sufficient and appropriate assets in the Foundation (at their realisable value) to cover the expected costs of making grants in accordance with donors’ wishes and to build the endowment funds held by the Foundation over the longer term.
The Trustees seek to balance the investments held against the current and future needs of the Foundation. The Trustees recognise that the returns received from different kinds of investments are achieved in different ways, and that the liabilities of the Foundation are ofdifferent kinds. For this reason the Trustees have decided to hold two separate classes of investments, one for endowed donations where the capital must be kept in perpetuity, and one for expendable donations, where funds must be spent within a reasonable period and in accordance with any restriction on the donation.
The Trustees have taken into consideration the expected return on investments and liquidity when setting the Foundation’s investment strategy.
For the expendable fund, the objective is to preserve the nominal purchasing power of the fund, net of withdrawals, reflecting the requirement to spend such funds within the timescale of a particular project or within a reasonable period for funds such as bursaries and scholarships. Funds identified as required for expenditure within a minimum of three months are held in cash or cash equivalents.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
Investment Policy and Performance (continued)
For the endowment fund, the objective is to preserve and increase the real purchasing power of the fund, net of withdrawals, over a five-year period. The total return objective is to match or exceed RPI plus 4% per annum. As this is a permanently endowed portfolio and, as such, only income can be spent, a yield of circa 3% on the initial investment is targeted.
The Trustees seek to ensure that assets are not realised at disadvantageous market levels to pay for grants when due by managing the income from donations and the Foundation’s expected outgoings. Where outgoings cannot be paid from donations or investment income, the Trustees will realise the required amount from the investments.
The Foundation appoints an Investment Manager to carry out all the day-to-day functions relating to the management of the investments and, as custodians, to look after and keep secure the assets under management. The Foundation’s investment performance is monitored on a regular basis by comparing the Investment Manager’s performance to the benchmark set by the Trustees for each fund. The investment strategy is reviewed frequently.
The Trustees are satisfied that the Foundation’s funds were invested during the year in accordance with the agreed policy.
The performances of the funds in the year August 2023 to July 2024 and against their total return objective were as follows:
| Total Return % | Return Objective | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oundle | School | Foundation | Endowment | Fund | 10.0% | 7.6% (RPI +4%) |
| Oundle | School | Foundation | Expendable | Fund | 9.1% | 3.6%(RPI) |
Total return has outperformed the return objective for both the endowed and expendable funds. This is primarily due to strong investment returns during the year.
The Future
During the coming years Oundle School will seek to offer an increasing degree of bursarial support through sustainable growth in fundraising, and to improve the estate in accordance with its Strategic Development Plan.
Oundle School is proud that its extensive range of bursaries, scholarships and awards enables the School to remain a widely inclusive community, attracting children from a broad range of backgrounds. Through successful fundraising, both for imminent expenditure and for the relevant Endowment Funds, the Foundation plays a major part in the School’s ability to offer such support now and in the future.
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities (continued)
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
e observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
e make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
e state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
e prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Acknowledgements
In closing this report, the Trustees would like to thank the donors for their most generous contributions, without which Oundle School would be unable to offer such an outstanding education, or to make it available to a wider range of children.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE OUNDLE SCHOOL FOUNDATION
Report on the financial statements
Our opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Oundle School Foundation (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 July 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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:
-
e give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 July 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
e have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
e have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We have been appointed as auditors under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
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 charity 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
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE OUNDLE SCHOOL FOUNDATION
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Trustees’ Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
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 course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
e the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees’ Report; or
-
e sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or e we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of the Trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities set out on page 8, the trustees 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 necessaryto enable the preparation offinancial 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 charity’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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE OUNDLE SCHOOL FOUNDATION
The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected noncompliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit.
In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit.
However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team:
-
e obtained an understanding of the nature of the sector, including the legal and regulatory framework, that the charity operates in and how the charity is complying with the legal and regulatory framework;
-
e inquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessmentofthe risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud;
-
e discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud.
Asa result of these procedures, we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 102), Charities Act 2011, the parent charity’s governing document, tax legislation and Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016. We performed audit procedures to detect non-compliances which may have a material impact on the financial statements which included reviewing the financial statements including the Trustees’ Report, remaining alert to new or unusual transactions which may not be in accordance with the governing documents, inspecting correspondence with local tax authorities.
The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls and the completeness of income from certain income streams as the areas where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to testing manual journal entries and other adjustments, evaluating the business rationale in relation to significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside the normal course of business, challenging judgments and estimates and performing tests of detail in relation to completeness of income.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is provided on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
1. Principal accounting policies
Charity information
The Oundle School Foundation is a charity domiciled and registered in England and Wales. The registered office is The Bursar’s Office, Oundle School, Church Street, Oundle, Peterborough, PE8 4EE. The Foundation is a public benefit entity.
(a) Accounting Convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) — (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Foundation. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for investments that are stated at market value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
The Foundation has taken advantage of the exemption from disclosing the following information, as permitted by the reduced disclosures regime within FRS 102:-
e Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’ — Presentation of a Statement of Cash Flow and related notes and disclosures;
e Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ & Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues’ — Carrying amounts for financial instruments measured at amortised cost or cost less impairment, interest income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments measured at amortised cost, loan defaults or breaches, and descriptions of hedging relationships.
(b) Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Foundation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. As a consequence, the Trustees believe the Foundation is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and that there are no material uncertainties in applying the going concern basis of preparation.
(c) Income
Income is recognised when the Foundation has entitlements to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the items(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
1. Principal accounting policies (continued)
Donations are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. For legacies, entitlement is taken at the earlier of the date on which either: the Foundation is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Foundation that a distribution will be made; or when a distribution is received. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the Foundation has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the Foundation or the Foundation is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Restricted and unrestricted income from investments is accounted for on an accruals basis. It is allocated to funds on a pro rata basis according to the size of the fund at each month-end.
(d) Donated Services
Donated services are recognised as income when the Foundation has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the Foundation of the item is probable and the economic benefit can be measured reliably.
On receipt, donated services are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Foundation which is the amount the Foundation would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
(e) Expenditure
The principal charitable activity is the grants payable to meet requests from Oundle School for bursaries, scholarships, awards, projects and equipment in the pursuit of the advancement of education.
Grants from restricted and unrestricted funds are included as expenditure in the year for which the award is given by the Foundation.
Expenditure on raising funds comprises those costs directly attributable to managing the investment portfolio and raising investment income. Both are allocated to funds ona pro rata basis according to the size of the fund at each month-end.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes those costs incurred by the Foundation in the delivery of its objectives. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource.
Other expenditure represents governance costs which include audit and legal advice for the Trustees and costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements.
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is apportioned over the closing balances of restricted and unrestricted funds. The cost of VAT, which cannot be recovered by the Foundation, is included with the item of expense to which it relates.

- Principal accounting policies (continued)
(f) The Foundation’s Funds
A fund is a pool of unexpended resources, held and maintained separately from the other pools because of the way in which the resources were originally received or the way in which they have subsequently been treated. A fund may be unrestricted, restricted or endowed as follows:
-
e unrestricted income funds are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objects of the Foundation;
-
e restricted income funds are received for a particular purpose, usually bursaries and scholarships, and expenditure is restricted by the donor to that particular purpose; and
-
e endowment funds are received, usually for bursaries and scholarships, and expenditure is restricted by the donor to that particular purpose from income only. The capital of endowed funds is maintained and the income may be expended. Three endowment funds are not held in perpetuity.
(g) Investments
Investments are held at mid-market value at the balance sheet date. Realised and unrealised gains and losses on investments are dealt with through the Statement of Financial Activities. Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.
(h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
(i) Financial instruments
The Foundation has applied the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Foundation’s Statement of Financial Position when the Foundation becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle ona net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(j) Taxation
The Foundation is a registered charity and is not liable to United Kingdom income tax or corporation tax on charitable activities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024
1. Principal accounting policies (continued)
(k) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Foundation’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated 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 year in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that year, or in the year of the revision and future years where the revision affects both current and future years.
The estimates and assumptions which havea significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.
The Foundation makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. In the Trustees’ opinion, there are no estimates or judgements which havea significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.
2. Donated services
The Foundation receives donated services from Oundle School for fund-raising and administration activities. For the year ending 31 July 2024 operational expenditure and staff costs incurred by Oundle School, for the benefit of the Foundation, are estimated at £293,000 (2023: £270,000).
