Egerton Rothesay

Report of the Trustees

For the year ended 31 August 2020

EGERTON-ROTHESAY SCHOOL LIMITED

Egerton-Rothesay School Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Charity. It is managed by a Board of Directors which includes Mr Stephen East who represents the Charity.

REVIEW OF THE DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS

The School continues to carry into effect the charitable objectives of the Trust.

The School having consolidated its operations on to one site continues to build on its proven ability to provide an educational environment where pupils who need additional support can achieve their potential.

The School’s focus is being built around the following key strands of activity:

With this focus we continue to draw children from a wide area - made possible by our 10-route bus service - and to also act as specialist education provider to 17 Local Authorities who pay full fees for 97, part fees for 12 and no part of the fees for 21 children with EHCP’s so they can attend Egerton Rothesay School.

As we are now well established in the SEN market both on the open market with private fee paying parents and local authorities, the need for Open days has reduced amounting to one possibly two per year.

The average number of pupils for the year was 173.

The school has continued to develop its links to the local Christian community as part of its own ministry. We intend to build further network links with both ministers and youth activities in the area both for the benefit of our own children and to enable them to make a contribution for others.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The Trustees are keeping the current activities and objectives under review and are looking at opportunities to further the objects of the Charity, in particular in relation to the School, but will also generally examine opportunities as and when they arise.

The Trustees continue to monitor the effects of the Covid19 pandemic on the School and the mitigating actions taken to offset these effects where possible

Covid-19

The school was affected by the National Lockdown and closure of schools in March 2020. Whilst staying open to cater for vulnerable and key worker pupils the school also made use of online teaching to enable pupils to continue their education with the least possible interruption. As the school continued to provide education to its pupils fees continued to be received other than where specific services could not be provided. Some members of staff were furloughed during the closure which mitigated some of the lost revenue.

INVESTMENT POLICY

Having considered the medium term requirements of the Charity £350,000 has been invested in a portfolio of investments created for the Charity by JM Finn & Co Limited. The remainder of the Charity’s funds are retained on deposit. The Trustees continue to keep the needs and objectives of the Charity under regular review.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Egerton Rothesay

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Egerton Rothesay (the ‘parent charity’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 August 2020 which comprise of the Statement of Financial Activities – Charity, the Statement of Financial Activities – Group, the Balance Sheets – Charity and Group, the Statement of Cash Flows – Group and notes to the financial statements, 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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Egerton Rothesay

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Egerton Rothesay

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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. 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

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 light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in 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:

Egerton Rothesay

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Egerton Rothesay

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of the Responsibilities of the Trustees set out on page 5, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent charity 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 group’s and the parent 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 trustees 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

We have been appointed as auditors under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under the Act.

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.

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.

Use of the audit report

This report is made solely to the 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 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 company and the company’s members as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Egerton Rothesay

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 August 2020

1. General information

Egerton Rothesay is a registered charity (No: 1091089) and a private company limited by guarantee (No: 4301828) registered and incorporated in England and Wales. The address of its registered office and principal place of business is disclosed in the company information.

The principal activity of the charity is to further the education of children attending Egerton-Rothesay School.

The principal activity of the subsidiary (Egerton-Rothesay School Limited) continued to be that of running an independent school which provides a supportive educational environment to meet the specific educational special needs of its pupils.

These financial statements have been presented in Pounds Sterling (£) as this is the Charity and Group's functional currency, being the primary economic environment in which the Charity and Group operates. The monetary amounts included in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

2. Principal accounting policies

Basis of preparation of accounts

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and the charity follows best practice as set out in the Statement of Recommended Practice: 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' (SORP), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities and Companies Acts. They include the results of the charity's operations which are described in the Trustees Report and all of which are continuing.

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning the future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set as a Public Benefit entity.

Basis of consolidation

The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertaking made up to 31 August 2020.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the Trustees have not identified any material uncertainties or events that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company or Group to continue as a going concern. Further, forecasts and business plans have been prepared which provide comfort that the Group and Charity will continue to trade in the foreseeable future.

Funds

Restricted funds represent funds which have been donated to the Group for a specific purpose.

General unrestricted funds represent funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the Charity.

Egerton Rothesay

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 August 2020

Income

Voluntary income represents donations received by the charity, and are accounted for when received.

Investment income represents bank interest receivable.

Other trading activities represents amounts receivable for school fees and similar income plus other operating income of the subsidiary Egerton-Rothesay School Limited. Revenue from school fees and similar income is recognised in the term in which the services are provided and when:

Revenue is deferred where received in advance of the service.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis and when there is a legal or constructive obligation to do so.

Charitable activities represents the legal, professional and other costs of running the charity.

Other trading activities are those costs incurred by the trading activity of the subsidiary EgertonRothesay School Limited.

Investments

Investments for the charity are stated at the market value. Realised and unrealised gains and losses on investments are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and depreciated.

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Freehold property 2% straight line
Office equipment 3 to 8 years straight line

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Egerton Rothesay

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 August 2020

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 August 2020

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

Distributions

Distributions to the charity from the subsidiary are recognised when they are paid. Distributions are eliminated on consolidation.

Operating leases: the Group as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Pensions

The Company operates defined contribution plans for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

Investment income

Investment income plus associated tax recoverable is credited to income on an accruals basis, using dates of payment for dividends, and daily accrual for interest.

Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method.

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year in which they are incurred.

Taxation

Egerton Rothesay is a charitable company and does not carry out activity that would be subject to corporation tax.

Egerton-Rothesay School Limited, a subsidiary of Egerton Rothesay, is subject to corporation tax.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 August 2020

Deferred taxation

Deferred tax is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. The deferred tax balance has not been discounted.

Value added tax

Value added tax is not recoverable by the charity, and as such is included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Egerton-Rothesay School Limited, the subsidiary company, is VAT registered and recovers VAT on a partial exemption basis.

3. Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of uncertainty

In applying the company’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The Trustees' judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made, and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates and assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing 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 both current and future periods.

The key estimates and assumption made in these accounts is depreciation. Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation which is provided in equal annual instalments over the estimated useful life of the assets (refer to accounting policy).

In the opinion of the Directors of Egerton-Rothesay School Limited, the open market value of the freehold land and buildings is not significantly different to the value in the accounts in its current use.

After the year end the Directors of the school approved a distribution to the parent charity of £350,000 which will be paid within 9 months of the year end and be accounted for in the accounts for the year ending 30th August 2021. This will mean that the reserves of the school will be higher and the reserves of the parent charity lower than would have been the case in prior years, but this has no effect on the consolidated figures.

Unrestricted funds represent funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the Charity.

Restricted funds are in respect of a donation received for specific expenditure within the School. A transfer was made in the prior year when part of this donation was paid down to the subsidiary to be spent as intended. The restricted fund is cash at bank and in hand.

Egerton Rothesay

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 August 2020

21. Pension commitments

Contributions are made to The Teachers' Superannuation Scheme (TSS) and the NEST pension scheme. The TSS is a defined benefit multi-employer pension scheme. The Company is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme and accordingly the Company has accounted for the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. The NEST pension scheme is a defined contribution scheme.

The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company to the funds and amounted to £414,868 (2019 - £312,784) in relation to TSS and £103,513 (2019 - £73,875) in relation to NEST.

In addition, contributions are made to personal pension schemes. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company into the schemes and amounted to £625 (2019 - £625).

Contributions totalling £45,091 (2019 - £34,517) were payable in respect of pensions at the year end and are included in other creditors.

22. Commitments under operating leases

The Group has taken advantage of the exemption permitted by FRS 102 Section 33 “Related Party Disclosures” note to provide disclosures of transactions entered into with other wholly owned members of the Group.

The loan taken out to purchase the previously rented Woods building is provided by Pact Holdings Limited as trustee of God Save Britain Crusade (registered charity number 262703). Mr J C Cooke and Mr S J East are directors of Pact Holdings Limited. The loan was for £300,000. Refer to the other creditor in note 16 and 17.

David Vesey, Director of Egerton-Rothesay School Limited, operates as Marshall Lucas and is also a Director of Marshall Management Limited. During the year, the charity purchased services in the ordinary course of business from Marshall Lucas amounting to £60,000 (2019: £60,000). At the year end, £20,000 (2019 - £NIL) was outstanding.
