Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' annual report (incorporating the director's report)

year ended 31 August 2022

Structure, governance and management

Legal and administrative details

Westville House School was incorporated as a private company, limited by guarantee, on 5 July 2000, company number 04030247.

The charity was granted charitable status on 22 May 2001, charity number 1086711.

The principal registered office of the charity is Carter’s Lane, Middleton, Ilkley, West Yorkshire, LS29 0DQ.

Trustees

The Trustees who are also directors for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 are shown above. In addition, there is one two advisory governor. The individual is not a trustee or director of the Company and does not have a formal vote in meetings of the company, but offers wise counsel and otherwise plays a full part in the governance of the school:

Rosey James

Governing document

The charitable company is limited by guarantee and registered as a charity under the Charities Act 1993. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, originally issued on 5 July 2000 (altered 3 October 2008, and again altered 22 March 2016). The charity enjoys charitable status for taxation purposes.

Anyone over the age of 18 can become a member of the charity subject to approval by the trustees.

No director has any beneficial interest in the charity. All directors are members of the charity and guarantee to contribute a maximum of £10 each in the event of a winding up. The number of guarantees at 31 August 2022 was 9.

Method of appointment or election of trustees

Appointment of trustees began from the first annual general meeting in accordance with the articles of association. At every subsequent annual general meeting, one third of the trustees are subject to retirement by rotation.

If the charity at the meeting at which a trustees retires by rotation does not fill the vacancy the retiring trustee shall, if willing to act, be deemed to be reappointed unless at the meeting it is resolved not to fill the vacancy or unless a resolution is put to the meeting and lost. The number of trustees must not be less than two and is not subject to any maximum. Trustees have the power to co-opt members to a sub-committee so long as those co-opted members do not exceed one half of the total number of trustees on that sub-committee.

Policies adopted for the induction and training of trustees

Any new trustee, undergoes an orientation process which includes a briefing on the legal obligations of a trustee under Charity and Company Law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the processes on decision making within the organisation. Trustees also make acquaintance with all other trustees of the school. The charity encourages trustees to attend, at their discretion, appropriate external training events where these will be of use for the undertaking of the role.

Organisational structure and decision making

The trustees hold responsibility for the stewardship of the School, its overall strategic direction and financial wellbeing. The trustees work with the School’s Head Teacher to which the day to day operation of the School is delegated. In turn the Head Teacher is supported on operational matters by his or her senior management team.

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' annual report (incorporating the director's report) (continued)

year ended 31 August 2022

There were no related party transactions as are required to be reported under the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) FRS 102.

No trustee received any remuneration of any kind in respect of their role as a trustee or Governor of Westville House School.

Westville House School has a 100% shareholding in a trading company, Peaktarn (Company number 02708821). The principal activity of Peaktarn is the ownership and management of the school freehold property at Carter’s Lane, Middleton, Ilkley, LS29 ODQ. The company was created for the acquisition, development and management of the property and is controlled by the charity. The company is entitled to exemption from audit under section 479A of the Companies Act 2006.

Risk management

The trustees maintain a risk management matrix. The risks associated with the operation of the school are known to the trustees and are managed and mitigated accordingly. Regular meetings and discussions between the Head Teacher (and senior staff) and the Chair of the Governors; with heads of our key sub-committees (Finance, Marketing, Education, Premises); and with individual trustees in addition to very regular full trustees meetings, and sub-committee meetings all mitigate risk.

The trustees have a risk management strategy that includes:

ii) The establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the plan;

Financial risk is mitigated by the issue by the Bursar (a qualified accountant) and the Finance sub-committee to the trustees of monthly management accounts. Compliance with relevant laws is discussed and procedures implemented by the Trustees working as a board.

The policies of risk management are continuously reviewed to ensure they remain up-to date and relevant to the needs of the charity.

PURPOSES AND ACTIVITIES

• Purpose

The charity’s objects are the advancement of education and in furtherance therefore to acquire and carry on as a going concern the school known as Westville House School at Ilkley, West Yorkshire together with the property and assets used in connection therewith.

The strategies employed to achieve the charity’s objectives are to ensure:

ii) That all children attending the school achieve their primary targeted secondary school; and iii) That funding includes flexibility to provide bursaries for a broad range of children from different backgrounds and of more modest financial means so that they may receive a Westville House School Education.

The charity has several powers permitted by the Memorandum of Association that allow the above strategies to be achieved.

PURPOSES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)

The charity currently carries out many activities that are for public benefit:

The pupils hold many charity fund-raising events that benefit numerous overseas, national and local charities. This encourages pupils to support those less fortunate than themselves. During 2021/22 the school made the following charitable donations from funds raised:

charitable donations from funds raised:
£
Red Cross Ukraine Appeal 620
Children in Need 125

The school’s multi-purpose hall is available for use by members of the local community outside school hours. Sports clubs and organisers of music and drama festivals also frequently hire the hall. Local state schools have been allowed to use the hall for sports tournaments at no charge.

The school continues to be actively involved in the local community, participating in a variety of events – most notably the Ilkley Carnival and the Wharfedale Festival. The school also participates in the Wharfedale Cross Country League.

Long Term Investment

The major investment project undertaken in 2015/16 has left the school with market leading facilities. The purpose-built Early Years Unit now allows the school to take children from two years old and upward, and all of the pupils in the school are now benefiting from significant upgrading and refurbishment of the facilities. The unit is now open 51 weeks per year and offers full wrap around care for 2-4 years olds. Improvements to the outdoor provision throughout the school are being made in order to ensure we offer the best facilities.

Educational and Operational Review

A full inspection of the school was undertaken by The Independent Schools Inspectorate in November 2018. The school was found to be fully compliant in the compliance sections and following an extensive review of the academic achievements Westville were judged as good with a number of outstanding features with particular reference made to the standard of maths and English throughout the school. The quality of pupils’ personal development was judged as excellent. The recommendations made within the report have been addressed. The Education committee regularly meet to review the quality of the educational provision provided.

Senior School Entry Results

All Form 4 (Year 6) children achieved entry to their first choice schools, with many gaining places at a number of different schools. A range of scholarships and awards were achieved. All the children who sat the 11+ for entry to Skipton Girls High School and Ermysteds passed.

Sport

The school had a successful year in the sporting arena, fielding teams in Football, Rugby, Cricket, Netball, Rounders, Swimming and Cross-Country Running. Inter-house competitions were held in many of these sports and also in Athletics, so that all children were able to be included in the competitive sporting programme. The school also holds a Netball tournament which is open to local state and independent schools. We host a cricket festival and the school undertakes an annual sports tour. The school offers a range of after school and lunchtime sports clubs which are open to the children. Links with senior schools provide sports clubs specialist coaching sessions.

Music and Drama

The pupils enjoy very good musical education; our choirs and ensemble have sung and performed at our Speech Day and Carol Service and at several other events during the year. The pre prep children take part in the annual Nativity. The prep pupils partake in an annual show. Many of our pupils participate in the Wharfedale Festival of Performing Arts for verse speaking and story writing and the Bingley Music Festival. A range of peripatetic musicians visit the school to provide opportunities for children to learn to play instruments and singing all of which enter accredited examinations as required. An external performing arts company provide sessions for children in drama, dance and music.

Art

Art plays an important part in the curriculum and children of all ages are exposed to a wide variety of media. There are regular visits to venues including The Mount School in York to allow the children to develop arts skills. The standard of art throughout the school was highly commended in our last inspection.

Other Events

The school enters the walking parade of the Ilkley Carnival in May. We also hold external events at school such as Christmas Fete, as well as National Quizzes in Maths/Science and General Knowledge. The school also hosts the annual Master Chef/Bake Off competition, which proves to be very popular with the pupils. An Enterprise week has now become an annual event

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity ended the year with an excess of income over expenditure of £1,619 which resulted in increasing its unrestricted funds to £1,148,034.

At the year end there was £33,471 (2021: £34,389) in restricted funds.

Unrestricted reserves at 31 August 2022 were £1.15m. The school has made a significant investment in its building and facilities in recent years, and unrestricted reserves are wholly held in fixed assets. The trustees are mindful of the need to increase the unrestricted reserves of the charity in future years to stabilise its financial position whilst balancing the provision of a high standard of education to its pupils.

The market for independent education remains challenging, but the trustees look to the future with confidence given the strong asset base, the high quality facilities which have been enhanced in recent years and the excellent reputation of the staff in delivering the educational objectives.

Further development of the facilities remains an objective, but commitments will only be made as funds allow.

There are no assets held on behalf of any another charity.

The remuneration policy for senior staff is at the sole discretion of the trustees.

Westville House School

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of Westville House School

year ended 31 August 2022

Opinion

We have audited the group and parent company financial statements of Westville House School (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of 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:

Basis for opinion

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.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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 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.

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the Accounting Policies in note 3 the financial statements and the fact that the comparative information in the accounts was unaudited as the company was entitled to exemption from audit.

Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of Westville House School

year ended 31 August 2022

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors (who are also the directors 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 directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors 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 directors either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's 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 auditors' 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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

- 10 -

Westville House School

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent auditor’s report to the trustees of Westville House School

year ended 31 August 2022

We considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: timing of recognition of income and posting of unusual journals along with complex transactions. We discussed these risks with client management, designed audit procedures to test the timing of income, tested a sample of journals, selected on a risk basis, to confirm they were appropriate and reviewed areas of judgement and estimation for indicators of management bias to address these risks.

The organisation is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified Charity Commission Regulations as the area most likely to have such an effect. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's report.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

The comparative information in the accounts is unaudited as the company was entitled to exemption from audit for the period ending 31 August 2021.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the charity can continue to operate as a going concern.

The trustees, having made due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the charity has adequate resources to achieve its objectives over the next 12 months.

The properties owned by the Charity are included in the accounts at cost as outlined in note 17. Despite the inherent uncertainties with property values at this time, there is no evidence to suggest a significant impact on the carrying value of the property and it is not practicable at this time to provide a quantitative estimate of the impact of Covid-19 on the net assets of the charitable company.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured.

Fees, contributions and grants

Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of goods and services supplied during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity.

Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the assets use.

Value added tax

As the majority of Westville House School's activities are classified as exempt or non-business activities for the purposes of value added tax, Westville House School is unable to reclaim all the value added tax which it suffers on its purchases. Expenditure in these financial statements, incurred by Westville House School, is therefore shown inclusive of value added tax.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 10-20% straight line Hall equipment - 5-10% straight line Motor vehicles - 25% straight line

No depreciation is provided on freehold property as the directors believe the residual value is comparable to the cost of the asset.

Investments

Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Concessionary loans

Concessionary loans which are received from other parties below the prevailing market rate of interest and that are not repayable on demand are measured initially at cost. Subsequently, the carrying amount is adjusted to reflect any accrued interest payable.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
