Public Benefrt Aims and Intend Im Having been a swnIfant participant in the GovemThent Assisted Pla sthme and its forerunner, the Direct Grant system, the Foundation has aayS operated with a strong emphasis on providing edutstion to pupils from a wide range of social backgrounds. Otjr aim is that pupils from all backgrounds are able to benefit from the excellent education provided, irrespective of the ability to pay full fees. The Trustees of thè Foundation are detennined to maintain the philosophy of providing the rounded education synonymous with the Schools to as wide a pupil base as possible. including those wpils who do not possess the means to afford fees. A robust means tested bursary scheme is operated to ensure the effective and charitable delivery of this aim. with an annual revwi of the s(eme carried out to ensure appropriate distribution of available resources. Although the main focus for bursary SUPF#)rt ensures that free places a offered lo a large number of recipients. the scheme also provides the opportunity for pupils with panIS of moderate income to attend the Schools. This is managed through the prov1 of a number of part-funded, means-tested places, thereby further widening a¢S to wtential bentharies. In addilion to provmjing public benefit through the provision of bursaries, the Foundation is MmItted to playing a snIficant role within the local community. through a number of outreach initiatives.

Grades were evidence based and used in schwl assessments taken dUrir a perKMJ between March and May, plus non-examined assessments. and other work completed under timed Conditr$s. Where necessary, for example due to specpl circumslances, a holi8tic vitrw of rouline work was also a factor in the final grade awarded.

W8ThvKk Junior Sch( There was a real joy to see the h0o1 back open to all pupils in September 2020. Both staff boys soon became ustomed to the changes school made as year group bubbles dictated the pattem of the day. When faced with challenges, the staff reswnded and found ingenious ways to make the most of situations. Until the summer tern. il was disappointing that the boys coukl not take part in concerts or sports fixtures. However. Ihere were many posrtives. Our games lessons and after school provision brought increased opportunty as boys were given greater chore of sporting &tivty. In the cssrOom. without the rehearsals, plays and concerts that punctuate the term, teachers and boys were able to focus more on core curriculum content. This enabled us to address the &Ming loss experEnced by soff pupils during the first lockdown. When we were placed in lockdoT) in January, the staff responded with great professionalism to enhance our online provision. We increased the live content of our online timetable adding clubs and activities to our programme.

We then desb3ned and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks. including obtaining audit evmJen Sufflent and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We obtained an understanding of the legal and reguktory frameworks wilhin which the charitable company and group operates. fouJ&ng on those laws and regulations that have a direct effeca on the delemiination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this u)ntexl were the Companie5 Act 20C6. taxatKJn islation, It)3ether wtlh the Charities SORP IFRS 102). We assessed the required Comlance with these laws and regulations as part of our atmlit prwedures on the relaled financial statwnt items. In addition, we consmgered provisions ofother law5 and reguktw)ns that do have a direct effec on the finanaal statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charltable company'5 and the group's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also consKlered the opportunilies and IrentiveS that may exist within the (arilable company and the group for fraud.

Our audtt procedures lo resporKI to these risks included enquiries of management. and the Audit & Risk Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of joumals. designing audit procedures over income and capital projects. reviewing accounting estimate5 for biases. rewvwing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission. Independent Schools Inspedorate. Otsted and reading minules of meetings of those charged with governar. ving lo the inherent limitatpjns of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misststements in the financial slatements. even though we have properly planned and perfomEd our audrt in accordance with auditing standards. For example. the further rerrK)ved non- compliance with and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions refleed in the financial statements. the likely the inherentty limited procedures required by auditing stsndards would identify it. In *lition, as with any audit. there remained a higher rtsk of non-delection of irregularities, as these may involve collusDn, forgery, intenthjnal omissions. misrepresentations. or the override of intemal Gontrols. We are not responsib for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect norpcompliance with all laws and regulalions. Page 28
