LANGDON COLLEGE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the period ended 31 August 2025.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with Langdon College's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, the Financial Reporting Standard (FRS 102) and the Statement of Recommended Practice, “SORP 2015”, issued in July 2014.

Reference and administrative details

Langdon College is a registered charity (No. 1088936) and a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital (No. 4104466). The registered office is as shown on the legal and administrative page.

Structure, governance and management

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance of Langdon College as a charity. Trustees are coopted by the existing Board of Trustees or nominated by the Trustees of KisharonLangdon. There are no individual subscriptions or other sums payable by Members. KisharonLangdon, as the sole member, has the right to appoint and remove trustees of Langdon College.

On 1 August 2023, Langdon Foundation (then the sole member of Langdon College) merged with Kisharon to form the KisharonLangdon Group. On 31 August 2024, KisharonLangdon Group became the sole member of Langdon College.

The external advisors of Langdon College are as set out on the legal and administrative page.

Current Developments

Following the Ofsted inspection in July 2024, which judged Langdon College to be inadequate, significant structural and operational changes were implemented. These included the closure of the Manchester sites and consolidation of provision at the Edgware site, alongside strengthened partnership working with Local Authorities to secure appropriate transitions for affected students.

Since August 2025, the College has continued to stabilise and improve. A subsequent inspection in March 2026 confirmed that safeguarding standards are met and that the College is operating at the expected standard across key areas, including leadership, governance, curriculum and student outcomes. This reflects substantial progress in strengthening leadership, improving teaching quality, and embedding a more coherent and ambitious curriculum.

Leaders and trustees have established a clear vision for high-quality specialist provision, supported by a restructured governing body and strengthened oversight. The curriculum has been redesigned to better support students’ progression towards independence, employability and adulthood, although further development is ongoing to broaden opportunities, particularly in work experience and external partnerships.

The College continues to work closely with the Department for Education to ensure sustained compliance and continued improvement.

LANGDON COLLEGE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Key risks and mitigating actions

Educational quality and regulatory risk: The risk of failing to maintain educational standards or receiving an adverse regulatory judgement has reduced following the March 2026 inspection, which confirmed that the College is meeting expected standards and has effective safeguarding arrangements. Continued focus is placed on curriculum development, quality assurance and leadership oversight.

Safeguarding: Safeguarding remains a core priority. Systems are robust and embedded, with a strong culture of vigilance across the College. However, capacity risks remain due to reliance on a small number of trained safeguarding leads, and succession planning continues to be a focus.

Financial sustainability: The College continues to operate within a challenging financial environment. Key risks include rising staffing costs, low student numbers, and reliance on wider charity support. Fundraising pressures across the sector and wider economic conditions increase this risk. Mitigation includes close financial monitoring, scenario planning, and active engagement with Local Authorities to secure placements

Student recruitment and viability: Low student numbers remain a strategic risk to financial viability, although this has improved slightly due to positive consultation activity for future cohorts. The College continues to work closely with Local Authorities and families to ensure its offer remains relevant and attractive.

Premises and infrastructure: The current building presents limitations, including a lack of specialist teaching spaces such as sensory rooms and appropriate staff facilities. This constrains delivery of the full curriculum and remains a high-level operational risk. Options for adaptation and longer-term development are under consideration.

Workforce and capacity: While staffing is currently stable, sector-wide recruitment challenges and financial constraints limit flexibility. There are also risks related to succession planning and leadership capacity, particularly in specialist and senior roles.

Governance and leadership capacity: Recent strengthening of the trustee board has improved oversight and strategic direction. However, capacity constraints and specific skills gaps, particularly in financial oversight, remain under review.

External risks: These include changes to EHCP legislation, which may affect funding and access to support, and wider risks such as increased antisemitism and cyber threats. Appropriate monitoring and security measures are in place.

Financial review, management policies and results for the period

The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA), set out on page 9, shows that Langdon College had income of £1,735,787 (2024: £1,326,357) and expenses of £1,859,409 (2024: £1,513,758) leaving a deficit of £123,622 (2024: £187,401).

The Principal discusses regularly with the Board, any concerns, risks and uncertainties that may face the College. The financial environment in which the College operates remains tight and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

The Education and Skills Funding Agency is the primary source of the educational fee funds, Elements 1 and 2. The Local Authorities are the commissioning agents and primary contributor of funds for the care and therapy services received by students, classed as Element 3.

Local Authority contracts constitute the majority of the College's income.

LANGDON COLLEGE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LANGDON COLLEGE

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Langdon College

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Langdon College (‘the charitable company’) for the period ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement 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 Financial Reporting Standard 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 charitable company 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 trustee's 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 charitable company'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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

LANGDON COLLEGE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF LANGDON COLLEGE

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the trustees’ 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 trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 4, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company 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 trustees 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’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 charitable company 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 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.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), health and safety legislation, employment legislation, tax legislation, and CQC Regulations for service providers and managers.

We communicated these identified frameworks amongst our audit team and remained alert to any indications of noncompliance throughout the audit. We ensured that the engagement team had sufficient competence and capability to identify or recognise non-compliance with the laws and regulations.

Docusign Envelope ID: 27A6D8D0-6641-8374-8077-17CFF92703F3

LANGDON COLLEGE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LANGDON COLLEGE

We discussed with the trustees the policies and procedures regarding compliance with these legal and regulatory frameworks.

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement due to non-compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks, including how fraud might occur, by enquiry with the trustees during the planning and finalisation phases stages of our audit. The susceptibility to such material misstatement was determined to be low.

Based on this understanding, we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with the identified legal and regulatory frameworks, which were part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of nondetection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

LANGDON COLLEGE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1 Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

1.2 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis and the trustees believe there to be no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Following recent changes in the management structure, costs have been reviewed and are being aligned with anticipated income streams.

1.3 Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income towards the provision of education is recognised in the year in which education is provided.

Income from government or other grants, whether “capital” grants or “revenue” grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Investment income is accounted for when receivable.

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis once the charity has entered into a legal or constructive obligation. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered which is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. All costs are allocated to the one charitable activity.

LANGDON COLLEGE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1 Accounting Policies

(Continued)

1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% straight line Motor vehicles 25% straight line Computers 33% straight line

All single items of equipment with a value less than £1,000 have not been capitalised.

The policy with respect to impairment reviews of fixed assets is that these assets are inspected regularly for any impairment and any defect remedied so as to maintain the current value.

1.6 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered and provision for bad and doubtful debts. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.

1.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.8 Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.

1.9 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

1.10 Pensions

The Langdon Foundation operates a defined contribution scheme which certain College staff are members of. The College is also a member of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS) which is a multi-employer pension scheme available to teaching staff. It is not possible to identify the charity’s share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the TPS on a consistent and reasonable basis and therefore the scheme is accounted for as if it were a definedcontribution scheme. As a result, the amount charged in the financial statements represents contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period for both schemes.

1.11 Operating leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

LANGDON COLLEGE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1 Accounting Policies

(Continued)

1.12 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

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

Designated funds represent funds which are unrestricted but the Trustees have designed them for a specific purpose to further the objectives of the charity.

1.13 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.

In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.

2 Legal status of the Charity

Langdon College is a registered charity (No. 1088936) and a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital (No. 4104466). The registered office is 333 Edgware Road, Floor 3, London NW9 6TD

10 Pension and other post-retirement benefit commitments

2025 2024
£ £
Pensions contributions 59,341 69,097

The College participates in the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (“the TPS”) for its teaching staff and Nest Pension scheme. The pension charge for the year includes contributions payable to the TPS and Nest Pension scheme of £59,341 (2024: £69,097) and at the year-end £4,864 (2024 : £10,799) was accrued in respect of contributions to this scheme.

The Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) is a statutory, contributory, defined benefit scheme, governed by the Teachers’ Pension Scheme Regulations 2014. Membership is automatic for teachers in academy trusts. All teachers have the option to opt-out of the TPS following enrolment. 61 The TPS is an unfunded scheme to which both the member and employer makes contributions, as a percentage of salary - these contributions are credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.

The Government Actuary, using normal actuarial principles, conducts a formal actuarial review of the TPS in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and Employer Cost Cap) Directions 2014 published by HM Treasury every 4 years. The aim of the review is to ensure scheme costs are recognised and managed appropriately and the review specifies the level of future contributions.

Actuarial scheme valuations are dependent on assumptions about the value of future costs, design of benefits and many other factors. The latest actuarial valuation of the TPS was carried out as at 31 March 2020. The valuation report was published by the Department for Education on 27 October 2023, with the SCAPE rate, set by HMT, applying a notional investment return based on 1.7% above the rate of CPI. The key elements of the valuation outcome are:

• Employer contribution rates set at 28.68% of pensionable pay (including a 0.08% administration levy). This is an increase of 5% in employer contributions and the cost control result is such that no change in member benefits is needed.

• Total scheme liabilities (pensions currently in payment and the estimated cost of future benefits) for service to the effective date of £262,000 million and notional assets (estimated future contributions together with the notional investments held at the valuation date) of £222,200 million, giving a notional past service deficit of £39,800 million The result of this valuation will be implemented from 1 April 2024.

A copy of the valuation report and supporting documentation is on the Teachers’ Pensions website.

Under the definitions set out in FRS 102, the TPS is an unfunded multi-employer pension scheme. The academy trust is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the plan. Accordingly, the academy trust has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS 102 and has accounted for its contributions to the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. The academy trust has set out above, the information available on the scheme.

Until the 2028 valuation is completed it is not possible to conclude on any financial impact or future changes to the contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly, no provision for any additional past benefit pension costs is included in these financial statements.
