Public Benefrt Aims and Intend
Im
Having been a swnIf￿ant participant in the GovemThent Assisted Pla￿ sthme and its forerunner, the
Direct Grant system, the Foundation has a￿ayS 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 pa￿nIS of moderate income to attend the
Schools. This is managed through the prov￿1￿ 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 s￿nIficant role within the local community. through a
number of outreach initiatives. These indude the sharing of facilit￿. running holiday clubs and revi8ion
courses thal are open to pupls from all around wat¥￿kSh1re and tts bordering ￿untES.
Across the Foundation there are 165 {2019120: 119) pupils in receipt of mns-tested bursaries. who
between them achieve some outstanding a(ademic results. with an ove(whelming majority of boys and gids
reaching the very hwJhest grades on offer. ￿￿th ever increasing financial pressures on parents we are doing
more and more to generate further funds over the coming years, with the Development Office planning to
actively target fundraising for means-tested SUPFQrt.

Academic results in August 2021 were extren￿ty strong. After last yearfs process of Centre Assessed Grades.
this year schools nationalty were required lo produce Teacher Assessed Grades. based on a holistic
judgement of high qualty recent evidence. Designing and marking these assessments represented Significant
work for teaching staff at King's, but the process was smooth and h￿hty successful. At A Level, students
achieved 83.8% A'_A grades. and 95.30A A"_B grades. At GCSE, 91 % of grades were at 9-7. with 72% at

their experience at university. Attendan￿ at these remote events has averaged 50 students and represents
growth in uptake compared wilh historic in-person trips.
Our Inspire Research Program￿* offers pupils a cohesbve pathway through the schwl, as they leam about
independent learning: stsrting with Inspire Homework in KS3. pupils then complete their Create projects in
KS4 and then go on to EPQ at A Level. Uptake at EPQ conlinues to rise. from 15 pupils five years ago to over

2020-21 was a second yew of dIsrupt￿n and uncertality that presented nu￿rouS challenges for our school
community. None have fett these challenges more than those pupiis in public exafflinalion years. Exams
were off, then they were on again, before finalty they were off and all grades were U￿1matety based upon
teacher assessed grades. At both GCSE and A ￿Ve1 Teacher assessed Grades {TAGs) were awarded
based on a school policy derived folkx¥ing set guidance from OtQual. JCQ. and examination boards.
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 Condit￿r$s. Where necessary,
for example due to specpl circumslances, a holi8tic vitrw of rouline work was also a factor in the final grade
awarded.
Despite the challenges. we are immensety proud of our Upper Stxlh pupils and all Ihey have achieved during
th8ir time at the FOUndatK￿ 8thcM)Is. Overall. 80.1% of A ￿Ve1 grades awarded at Warwick School were A'_
A arKJ 94.6% A'_B. A total of 116 pupils applied through the Universty and Colleges Admissions Service
(UCAS), 106 of whom were successful in securing a place at their first-choice instttution, a further 8 at their
insurance choice. and 2 gained a pl￿ through clearing. We are Incredib￿ pleased for all our Upper Sixth
pupils. who have been an asset to their school and we wish them the best of luck for the next stage of their
lives.
After a hugely challenging and unusual til￿. our Year 11 pupils demonstrated impressNe resilience,
flexibility and positivty. We saw just how hard tw have studied throughout their time al WaNiick School
and were delighted that this was re(wnised in Ihe grades wlarded. Overall 84.9% of pupils were awarded

Whilst many of our pupils were frustrated that they ￿re den￿d the opportunty to sit their examinations. the
robust school policy and the integrity of the process resutted in greatef confidence in the TAGS awarded than
evident in the previous year. Post-results there were a small number of requests for a breakdown of teacher

collaborate easily even when they are not physicalty iogether with the texher being able lo give feedback on
this work. Hybrid teaching meant that boys who were isolaling at hcme had equal access to high-qualty
education and INe lessons. Using Bluet(M)th headsets, staff were able lo teach from the front of the
Classroom, whilst maintaining contact with those at home. The use of Teams and One Note meant that the
teachers could have inslanl access to the boys at home and grve instant feedback. This meant that whole
classes could effectivety work logether to achieve the goals. despite being physicalw distant.
AII co-curricular clubs and activrlies became srngle year group options. It is testament to the school's
commitment to delivering a holis￿ and broad education that 114 clubs, 46 Friday ActNities and 30 Academi
Clinics were offered in the Michaelmas term and that over pupils regularly attended the intemal sporting
programme offered to make up for the loss of cc¥npetitive fixtures against other sch(K)Is.
As well as the challenges presented by Covid 19 during the Michaelmas term Wafwick School also had to
contend with the tragic and sudden death of a member of the teaching staff, the much-loved Head of

The retum to face-tcpface schooling for pupifs for the summer temi was very welcom8 followlng the enfor¢ed
isolation from January to March. Although Schwl remained dffterent with pupils kepl in year group bubbles
and many extra-curricular aCtivit￿S curtailed as the tefm progressed there were nuffErous signs of a long-
awaAed retum to normal. Pupils could sock?lise with their peers again which was extremety benef￿la1 for

The second half of the gjmmef temi saw the return of fixtures. This busy period saw the Ws playing many

able to put on a Summer Concert series consisting of eTrght-year group bubble cor￿rtS which gave 44

2020-21 has been a sea)nd year of disrupt￿ but the s(*K)ol cc*nmunity has worked tirelessly to minimise
the impact of this disturbance on the educalion of the young people in its care. This report is testimony to the

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 c￿ssrOom. 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 lockdo*T) 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. Daity fonn time and sporting activities helped keep the boys engaged, connected and active.
ilst the online provision was a success, there was a real joy when the iws retumed to sch¢)ol and we
were finally able to restore many of the opportunilies and events we all enjoy.
Earfier in the year all OUT Year 6 iws were given the opportunty to proceed to the Senior S¢h¢)ol. Folk)wing
the entrance exams lo the Senior School. we were delighted to hear that seven ￿Jt of the top ten performing
pupils came from the Jun*)r School with six boys retuming to the Senior Sthool to take up ￿hOlarshIps.
Our boys again entered the Oxford unr￿rSty Bebras Challenge. Thts is a challenge encouraging
compLrtational thinking invofving over 50 C￿ntr*S. One Year 6 was imiited to the finals, achieving 13

place overall ￿M[￿Ing against pupils a year okler. A fvrther pupil achieved a Distinction with Iwo additional
Merits awarded.
In our end of year exams. the boys took a range of standardised tests to measure oUtCo￿S against scores
achieved at the slart of the year. were de1￿hted by the resulls. 94% of boys &hieved expected or higher
progress in English and maths with over 500h achiewng higher or signiftantly higher scores than the stsrt of
the year. This was an outstanding resull. particularfy in a year when the sch¢J)I was placed in l¢xkdown.
Whilst this has been a most challenging year for the Arts, our leachers deserve great credit for maintsinirffJ
music. art and drama. Our MUS￿ teachers kept the tws wacbsing arKJ working together throughout
lockdown. The sessions online maintained interest and the boys contributed to a collection of lockdown
music. the aptty named 'Bubble Sessions.. Once oul of loCkd￿¥n. staff arKJ tws worked together to
showcase their music to a live awlience of parents in our SUMM￿ Conc£rt.
In the coming year we are looking fO￿ard to re-establ￿hIng our links with the communtty. Once again. our
Director of Junior Music will be supportiry mugc in our bcal school. Frustratingly, the 'Come SINJ. massed
choir event we planned for local schools had to be can(aled as we approac*ed k¢kdown. W8 very much
hope similar events will lake place in 2021-22.
Whilst our Year 4 and 6 tws were Unab￿ to perform to an audiewE in the Bridge House Theatre, both year
groups were given the opportunity lo perfomi a play in a week. Our Year 4 boys produced a wonderful
version of Charlie and the Cho(x)late Factory. Our Year 6 pupils chose and then perfonned As You Like It.
The qualty of both kyc*j￿tIOnS was out*anding.' we are very fortunate to have so many talented toys and
staff. Earlier in the year we were fortunate to host the Young Shakespeare Company bringing their
workshops and production of Macbeth.
The boys have been encouraged to maintsin their interest in art throughout the year. The responded
with great enthusiasm to the rnonlhty thallenges and comwiiions. The year ended with many boys entering
the House art competition.
Once restrictions eased in the latter part of the summer term, our boys again enjoyed fixtures against local
schools. Together with a traditional S[￿$ day. this brought the year to a far more satisfactory close. Earlier
in the year. the tws had the opp(Ktunty to come in at the weekend to enjoy the very first JunTh School
aquathlon. Thts proved to be a huge s￿CesS and is set to be repeated at start of next year.
Whilst we were unable to tske our boys on residential trips. we took our Year 5 and Year 6 boys on
adventurous day trips. Our Year 5 spent a day at Top Adventure in Worcestetshire enjoying laser tsg,
archery, climbing and water-based activiti'es. Our Year 6 trws spent their penultimate day in school at Aztec
Adventure, a water park near Droitwth. Given the uncertainty surrounding residential trips. this nM)del is
likety to be repealed in the year to come.
The Warwick Junior Sthool Diploma, now in tls Ihird year. helps underpin and encourage boys to take part Ki
all aspects of school life. Bronze, Sifver. Gold and Platinum Awards are presented to boys who provide
evidence of participalion and commitment in four key areas of schojl life: Aiming for Higher Things,
Exploring the Arts, Getting Active and Ser4Ying C￿r Communty. Pupils provide evidence of engagement in

the basis ofthese financial st*erwts.
Details of the extent to which the audrt was considered capable of detectiig irrgjularilies, induding
fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set OLrt below.
A further desl￿ptiOn of our reSpOn￿bIlItIeS for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's website at.. VMw.frc.org.uklauditorsresFx￿sb1lrt￿. This description forms
part of our auditorfs reporL
Extent to whlch the audit VAS con•idered upablo of dete￿n9 Irregularltles. Includlng fraud
Irregulanties. including fraud. instances of non-cornplrance with laws and reguktions. We Nlentffied
and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial ststements from irregularities, whether
due to fraud or error, and discussed these belween our audit tearn members. We then desb3ned and
performed audit procedures responsive to those risks. including obtaining audit evmJen￿ Suff￿lent 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 Com￿lance with these laws and regulations as
part of our atmlit prwedures on the relaled financial statw*nt 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
Ir￿entiveS that may exist within the (*arilable company and the group for fraud. The L8ws and regulations
we considered in this context for the UK orerat￿nS were The Education Ilndependent School Standards)
Regulations 2014.
Auditing standards limit Ihe required audit pr(tedures to *Jentify non-compliance with thwse laws and
regulations to enquiry ol the Trustees and other manwJement and inspection of regulatory and legal
correspondence, rf any.
We identrfied the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including
fraud. to be with the complelenvss and accuracy of non-fee income. arKI the oveffide of controls by
management. 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 refle￿ed 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.
