Their education has been disrupted, and their life at school and in further education has been put on hold for extended periods. At the same time, the mental health of many young people has been impacted by social isolation and other adverse consequences of the pandemic. AnticSpatin8 these challenge5. and rnTtigating their consequences for our pupils at Sedbergh. has been a constant priority for my Board and for the leadership of the School. Our stsff have worked tirelessly to 5U5tain the quality and breadth of the Sedbergh education and the pastoral care and support for all our pupils, both in School and, as necessary, at home durin8 government-mandated school dosures and self isolation. l am hu8ety proud of whal the Sch(￿. the stsff and the puplls theMSe￿e$ have achieved in this time, in spite of the pandemic. And l am grateful too, for the immense support we have recelved throughout this period from parents. from the Old Sedberghian Club and our alumni. and from the wider Sedbergh School communltv. An important measure of what has been achieved is the record pupil numbers in the School at the start of the new school year in September 2021. Fartors that have brought newfamilies to Sedbergh include the quallty and contlnulty of our education and pastoral care duringthe pandemic. the breadth of our educatlonal provislon and extracurricular activities, and the healthy environment and lifestyle at Sedbergh. The strength of the pupil roll in both the Senior School and at the Prep School is a clear demonstration of the qualty and resilience of a Sedbergh education. and of the future opportunity that this engenders for our pupils and our stsff. As a Board, we are working very closely with the executive team to ensure Strategic and operational resilience to uncertainty and potentlal turbulence in global markets and in the UK economy. We a150 remain alert to both challenges and opportunities in our local market. We are committed to a more sustainable world and we accept the challenge to advance our focus on the environment in all that we do. Technolo8y and di8ital media impacts increaslngly on our everyday lrfe. We want future generations of Sedberghians to be ready for the accelerating pace of thange in technology. both at home and in the workpla￿, and we are developing our curriculum and our facilities to sustain this ambition. At the same time we wlll not deviate from our primary responsibility to ensure our pupils have the necessary lrfe skills to be Suc￿sSfUl and happy individuals. with a clear moral compass. Outside of School. we knowthat Itfe for many In Sedbergh and the surroundin8 area has been very drfficult duringthe pandemlc. The School ha5 therefore sought to scale up its community outreach programme, Sedbergh Gfves Back. over the last two years. A variety of projects are supported each Thursday afternoon during term time as part of the voluntary service programme, and once a year all the boarding houses undertake a full da*s work for charities or l¢xal communlties. The School was recognised for its community work in 2021, winning the Community Invofvement Award at the In-cumbria Bu5inessAward5. l am dellghted to have had the opportunity to Nrystt Sedbergh more in 2021 than in the previous year, and to meet more puplls and parents, as well as School staff. One event during the year stands Out in my mind. In October. we celebrated twentyyears of gir15 at Sedbergh. and the transformation they have helped bring about, In the life of pupils and in the culture and environment of the School. It Was wonderful to see so many confident and successful young women returning to the Sctrwx)I to celebrate this annNersary and to meet old friend5 and many of the teachers that helped shape thelr young lives. l am constsntly grateful to the leadership of the School at that time. for the insplred decision to admit girls. Next yearsees another important annNersary in the historyof glrls, edutation. 2023 isthe two hundredth anniversary of the founding of Casterton School by the Reverend Carus Wilson. to educate the daughters of clergy.

SEDBERGH SCHOOL CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT for the year ended 31 August 2021 I would like to reiterate my thanks to Andrew Fleck. who retired at the end of August 2021 after eleven years at the helm of the School, initially as Headmaster and latterly as Principal. Andre￿5 vision and ambition for the School has shaped the Sedbergh of the twenty-first century and has ¥Jnderpinned our continuing progress and success, and his strategy and management capability have helped us navigate some ofthe greatest opportunities, and also the biB8est challenges, the School has ever faced. Through his leadership, we have seen strong pro8ress by both Schools on academic standards. in the quality of the Common Room, in the range of extracurricular actNlties and in the culture and ethos of the School. But to my mind the things that best demonstrate Andre￿5 achievements at Sedbergh are that. at the end of his tenure, we have a School full of happy, confident young people who are a credit to the School, and a first rate Common Room, full of great teachers who love Sedbergh. Dan Harrison has taken over leadership of the whole School. a5 Headmaster of Sedbergh Sthool.

When school closures were rnandated by the Government in ear￿ January, we were able to swlt¢h Immediately to a comprehensive programme of remote learnin& building on the success of our remote leaming in the previous summer. A combination of 'Daily Briefin< emails and regular, on-line meetings with tutors and Housemasters and Housemistresses helped to keep the pupils engaged and to ensure the quality of our remote education and pastoral care. We received excellent feedback from both pupils and parents during this thallenging period. The Summer Term Saw a return to comwltive sport Indudlng a number of sports normally undertaken in the Michaelmas and Lent Terms. This included competitNe rugby at all levels, with fixtures against other schools, and the Wilson Run which took place in June. albeit as a closed event with only pupils in attendance. A full Sport5 Day wa5 held in early July with tug o, war and Westmodand & Cumberland wrestlin8 included in the programme. Muslcal activity was very limited during the periods of remote learnin& due to govemment restrittions surrounding choirs and ensemble5- however individual instrumental lesson5 continued on-line. In the second half of the Summer Terrn the Chapel Choir led worship in weekly Chapel services. and the Wilson Run concert was held outside, at the Cloisters, on the day of the race.

Inspertlon5 There were no inspections at either School durin8 the year. Mitigating the financial impact of C4>vi&19 The Board approved significant fee reductions for all pupils and in particularfor boarders when the School was dosed and remote learning was necessary, resulting in a signrficant loss of income. In parallel, a programme of cost savings was implemerted, taking into t(Inshderatlon the antlclpated reopenlng of the campuses and the need to ensure operational capability was maintained. Operational budgets were reviewed, reduced or frozen, making considerable savings in the financlal year. The School also beneflted from the Government's Coronavlrus Job Retention Stheme. Non-urgent capital projects were deferred where appropriate. PUBUC BENEFtr AcYivmES AND COMMUNrrY SUPPORT Hardshlp Fund Financial hardship as a result of the pandemic threatened the continuity of education of a number of pupils at the School, with many parents experiencing financial challenges.

FINANCIAL REVIEW The financial year ended 31August 2021 was.forthe secondyear. dominated bythe impartof the pandemic, resulting in the closure of the Senior School for a period of two weeks in the Michaelmas Term and both the Senior School and Prep khool for seven weeks of the LentTerm.The physical closure of the School necessitated the provision of remote learning and the associated redurtion in fees resulted in a second year of105ses to charitable activity income. The increase in school fee income of £0.25m reflerted a reduced level of concessions. The loss of fee income was offset in part by a grant Under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme amounting to £0.50m {2020: £1.03ml, Sl8nlflcantly lower than in the previous year due to the reduced period of furlough and number of staff involved. Operating costs were redU￿d where possible, although the long-temi prosperity of the School was balanced against the need for short term cuts. In particular, the School needed to prepare for a significant increase In projected pupll numbers in the Michaelmas Term. These fartors. together wfch Inflationary pressures, resulted in increases in operating costs totalling £0.43m. Trading intome improved on the prior year by £0.27m p￿dOminatelY due to the increased number of short courses running,. however the Tens tournament and the International Summer Schoo15 programme were cancelled for the second year due to the pandemic.

Leases An a55et and corresponding lia￿lityare recogntsed for leasing agreements thattran5fer to the Sthool substantially all of the risks and rewards incidentsl to ownership I"finan¢e leases"l. The amount capitalised is the fair value of the leased asset or. rf lower. the prèsent value of the minimum lease payments payable during the lease term, both determlned at inception of the lease. Lease payments are treated as consisting of ¢apital and interest elements. The interest is charged to the Ststement of Financial Activitles $0 as to produce a constsnt periodlc rate of interest on the remainlng balance of the liablllty. 30 SEDBERGH SCHOOL NOTE5 TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued) 31 August 2021 Leases fcontinuedj All othèr leases are operating leases and the annual rentals are charged to the Statement of Flnan¢lal Activitles on straight line basis over the lease term. Crlllcal ac¢ounlln8 estlmates and areas of lud8ement Estimate5 and judgements are continually evaluated and a￿ based on historical experlèntè and other faetors, including expectstlons of future events that are belIe￿d to be reasonable under the circumstances. The School make5 estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accountlng estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related artual resvlts. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant rlsk of ¢au5ing a material adjustment to the ca￿￿ng amounts of assets and liabilities wlthin the next financial year are diKus5ed below. Pension scheme walt￿tIon assumptions The presentvalLte ofthe defined benefft pension asset depends on a number of fartor5 that are determined on an actuarial basis using a variety of assumptions. The assumptions used in determtnin8 the net cost Iln¢omel for penslons include the discount rate. Any chan8es in these assumptions, which are disclosed In note 20, will impact the carrwn8 amount of the pension asset. Furthermore a roll forward approach whith projects results from the latest full actuarlal valuation performed at 31 August 2018 has been used by tht artuary in valuing the pen5i0ns asset at 31 August 2021. Any differences between the figures derived from the roll forward approach and a full actuarial valuation would impaet on the carrying amount of the pension asset. The surplus on the penslon stheme valuation as at 31 Au8USt 2021 has not been reco8nised as an asset because the Governors do not consider that it is recoverable.

SEDBERGH SCHOOL NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued) 31 August 2021 20 Pension sthemes (continued) On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the government permisslon to appeal the Court of Appeavs judgment that transitional provisions introduced to thè rèformed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to unlawful age distrimlnation. Thè government t5 re5pertin8 the CourV5 decision and has said it will engage fully wlth the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member representstNes to agree how the dlscrlmlnations will be remedied. The government announced on 4 February 2021 that it intends to proceed with a deferred choice underpin under whith members will be able to choose either legacy or reformed scheme benefts in respect of thwr 5eTvi¢e durin8 the period between l April 2015 and 31 March 2022 at the point they become payable. TheTPS is subjectto a cost cap mechanism which was put in place to proterttsxpayers against unforeseen changes in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary to the T￿asUry. havin8 in 2018 announced that there would be a review of this cost cap methanism. in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanisrn following the Court of Appeal'5 rulin8 in the McCloudlSargeant case and until there is ￿rtaInty about the value of pensions to employees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was Itfted in July 2020. and a consultstion was Llurhched on 24 June on proposed changes to the cost control mechanism followin8 a review by the Govemment Actuary. Following public consultation. the Govemment have attepted three key proposals recommended by the Govemment Actuary. and are aimin8 to implement these chan8es in time for the 2020 valuations. In view of the above rulings and decisions the assumptions used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuation may become Inappropriate. In rhls scenario. a valuation p￿pared in accordance with revised benefits and suitably re￿Sed assumptions would yield different results than those contsined in the Actuarial Valuation. Until the c05t cap mechanisrn revision is completed it is not possible to condude on any financial impact or future ¢han8es to the contribution rates of theTPS. Accordingty no provision forany additional past benefit penslon costs is included In these financial statements.
