Supporting transition into adulthood
-
Promoting independence and inclusion
Our Values
We act with integrity We strive and respect for excellence
We are Inclusive
Everyone – regardless of physical ability, where they live or socioeconomic background – should have the opportunity to take part in life. We treat our beneficiaries with the same dignity as their non-disabled peers and work to remove barriers in their way.
Physically disabled young people should be free to direct their own lives. We listen to young people’s views and support them to make age-appropriate choices about their daily life and informed choices about their future. We celebrate and promote diversity, value and support each other, and treat everyone with respect. We support a culture of openness, honesty and transparency, where the safeguarding of our students and wellbeing of our staff is paramount.
Physically disabled young people and their families deserve outstanding care and support. We work to make sure all our services are excellent and actively challenge each other to ensure continuous quality improvement.
We continually innovate to ensure that our students and beneficiaries receive the cutting-edge, excellent support they deserve.
Our students and beneficiaries are always at the centre of everything we do. Before we make decisions, we ask: “How will our students and beneficiaries benefit from this?”
We strive for excellence We always try our best
We act with integrity and respect We are friendly and kind
We are inclusive We help everyone join in
See through the wheelchair
For some reason people used to glare at me.
But I don’t know why, maybe it’s because of my wonky body or the fact that I am stuck in a wheelchair.
The problem is that no one asks me.
Mainly due to fear.
The fear of being rude and offensive, but I just wanna be talked to.
Disabled people also have lives and voices you know, they laugh, cry and feel pain just like you do.
But the most important thing they do.
Is that they live their lives to the fullest.
So I implore you to please see through the wheelchair.
And take care of the boy inside.

The students, staff and atmosphere are absolutely phenomenal. I always treasure the time I get to spend with everyone at Treloar’s.
It’s safe to say I came away with a massive smile on my face… and just thinking about my time there makes me smile.
I absolutely love the drive, passion, and forward thinking focus that is continually going into making Treloar’s the best it can possibly be and continue to thrive and grow in years to come.
It truly is ‘one of a kind’… I am exceptionally proud to be a Patron of Treloar’s.

Welcome
Dear Friends and Supporters of Treloar’s
This year was again dominated by supporting our School and College students through the ongoing COVID pandemic. We successfully protected our students from the health risks, and also protected their education and wellbeing.
For this we would sincerely like to thank the staff of Treloar’s, those working directly with students in education and care roles, those who ensure everything works behind the scenes, and the management team. It is virtually impossible to commend our staff enough for the energy, diligence and creativity they have shown over such a complicated and challenging period of time.
This year we recruited a new CEO, Ryan Campbell, who has joined the team to lead the development and expansion of our reach and impact in the longer term, whilst ensuring we remain financially and strategically robust in a challenging and uncertain world.
We will spend the coming year updating our strategy, but our direction is already clear: we need to continue providing the very best education and care to disabled young people whilst supporting more and more complex clinical needs. We must share our expertise, and our leadership on a wider scale to benefit more young people, and we must further develop our support to people after they have left education, where work and life opportunities are still too limited.
We would not have the confidence to do this without the support of so many. As well as our staff, Treloar’s is very much a shared enterprise with our students and their parents, carers and families; with local authorities and the NHS; with other schools and colleges; with our amazing volunteers; and with those who give so generously of their time and money in donating and fundraising.
Thank you to all

WELCOME FROM OUR HEAD GIRL ALEX, OUR HEAD BOY LOGAN AND FROM OUR STUDENT GOVERNORS OSCAR AND ELLIS.
What I like most about Treloar’s is my class. Everybody in class is nice and we are all friends together. The student support assistants know us well and support us with everything. They listen to us too.
As head girl I have met with HRH The Countess of Wessex and spoken to her.
Alex, Head Girl
I’ve been at Treloar’s for five years and I feel I have gained so much from being here. Treloar’s is so different from any of my other schools, they include everyone. I get to participate in lots of activities including D&T and food tech. Now I’m head boy, I have so many doors that have been opened to me. Logan, Head Boy
For me, Treloar’s is a place where people like me are encouraged to reach their full potential and where they’re allowed to be who they want to be. Furthermore, it’s a place where we’re respected, have fun and are treated like family, both in and out of the classrooms and houses.
Oscar, Student Governor
Things I like about Treloar’s is that they help you plan trips and offer activities and awards such as Duke of Edinburgh and boccia. Treloar’s has helped me with my independence by letting me cook and doing my own bookings and giving me tools to work on my own in class. Ellis, Student Governor

TRELOAR’S IS ONE OF THE UK’S LEADING CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE WITH COMPLEX PHYSICAL DISABILITIES
We offer outstanding teaching, learning, professional care, therapy, advice and guidance so that every individual can live, learn, achieve and work towards a future that is as independent as possible.
WHAT WE DO
We enable our students to follow a curriculum that meets their individual needs and to learn in an accessible, inclusive and safe environment. Thanks to the hard work of our teachers, therapists, nurses and a wide range of highly trained support staff, we are able to meet the physical and emotional needs of students, enabling them to enjoy greater independence and reach their educational goals.
Our Progress and Transition team help our students to achieve their aim of placement, whether it’s being able to advocate for themselves more effectively, attending university or finding employment.
We are categorised as a special school and college. However, it is central to our approach that disabled people are supported to be part of wider society, not separated from it. Our aim is to enable disabled people to take control of their own lives in a world that better understands their needs.
COMPLEX DISABILITIES
Our students are physically disabled and most have very complex needs which cannot be met in mainstream settings. Many of the young people we help require round-the-clock support – and over half of our students stay in one of our five residential houses.
-
99% of our students are wheelchair users
-
• 42% of our students are non-verbal or require support from communication aids
-
40% of our students have a visual impairment
-
• 12% of our students have a life-limiting condition.

What do parents say about Treloar’s?
It’s the closest environment away from home to providing just what she needs, and the best thing is there are teams of wonderful people working with my child to make education, therapy, life-skills and independence not just a priority but a reality… People who genuinely care, who want to make this happen and who enable all the children to do this.
School parent
What is the best thing about Treloar’s?
All my daughter’s education, health and social needs are met. The buildings, grounds and equipment are all accessible so it’s a place where she acts and feels like other children without disabilities. She is able to live without so many barriers. College parent

Student achievements WITHIN AND BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES OF 2020/21
Despite two years of disruption to their lives, Treloar’s students have worked hard to overcome all the challenges of the pandemic. COVID restrictions have had a disproportionate impact on the lives of many of our students, making it so much harder for them to access learning, work experience, internships and their local community.
“Students across the country have had huge barriers to their learning during the pandemic and this has been especially true for the young people at Treloar’s. We are really proud of everything our students have achieved this year. Our staff, with expertise and commitment, have supported students in class, at home and in our residential provision to achieve their individual targets. Although making plans for life after Treloar’s has been made more difficult, students have been successful in moving on to independent and supported living, and gaining employment and securing places at University. I know that many students and their families have had
a very challenging year and I would like to thank them for their determination, flexibility and support.” Principal, Martin Ingram
DESPITE A CHALLENGING YEAR OUR STUDENTS HAVE ACHIEVED AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT WITH A MIXTURE OF REMOTE AND ONSITE LEARNING, BOTH IN THE CLASSROOM AND BEYOND.
OUTCOMES FOR SCHOOL
Of the fifteen school (Key Stage 4 & 5) leavers in July 2021, eleven moved on from Treloar School to Treloar College. The significant majority of School students met or exceeded their expected progress in their Individual Education Plan Skills domains, linked to their Education & Healthcare Plan (EHCP) outcomes. They had a 100% achievement rate at Entry Level 1, 2 & 3. At GCSE level, 98% achieved grades 9-4.
OUTCOMES FOR COLLEGE
In July 2020, 20 leavers graduated from Treloar College. At their 7-month
follow up, 65% achieved their planned destination, with a further 25% partially achieving their plan, that is, they have gained accommodation but not yet their educational / employment aim or vice versa. A great success, given the COVID situation.
In 2020/21, the significant majority of students met or exceeded their expected progress in their Individual Learning Plan Skills domains, linked to their Education & Healthcare Plan (EHCP) outcomes.
-
100% achievement rate at Entry Level 1,2 & 3
-
100% achievement rate at level 1
-
81% achievement rate at level 2
-
70% achievement rate at level 3
EMPLOYMENT
Six leavers (30%) including all five interns, are on route to employment, either as paid employees or as interns and on-the-job trainees.

But most of all Sally just loves playing music as there is “nothing better than performing with other people.”
Sally plays a Linnstrument, used by moving your fingers over any of 200 square ‘keys’. She had three weeks to learn seven pieces of music for the 17th June 2021 concert with BSO Resound at the Poole Lighthouse, which featured a world premiere
She particularly values the BSO Resound ensemble adding that “it’s empowering to know that if disabled people work hard and
are good, then the opportunity is available and it’s not a one-off, there is a career out there for you.”
KING TAKES TO THE SEAS
AS LOCKDOWN MEASURES HAVE BEEN EASING WE HAVE BEEN DELIGHTED THAT SHORT LOCAL TRIPS HAVE BECOME POSSIBLE. THE EASING OF RESTRICTIONS AND BEING ABLE TO TAKE PART IN OFF-CAMPUS ACTIVITIES HAS BROUGHT A LOT OF JOY AND HAPPINESS TO THE STUDENTS AT TRELOAR’S.
College student King (pictured right)
and Team Leader Lamin took to the waters with Wet Wheels Foundation. Afterwards King wrote about his adventure:
“It was good weather, hot, sunny and clear and I was very excited. I met the crew I would be with for the day and got on the boat. We then spoke about the boat, and the crew gave me a safety briefing with all the need-to-know facts and then we then sailed all the way to the Isle of Wight!”
“Altogether we were on the boat for around 4 hours, a good amount of time to enjoy and see things like the other boats and the views of the island.”
“Overall I had a really good day, and if the opportunity came about again I’d love to do it!”
“We were given a tour around the whole outside of the island, and saw the needles, and the docks. I hadn’t ever been to the Isle of Wight before so this was interesting to see.”
King’s trip was made possible
by the generosity of the Campbell Sports Fund which enables Treloar’s students to take part in dinghy sailing on Frensham Pond, and in speedboat and catamaran sailing in the Solent.
“I’m not 100% sure how quickly
the boat was actually going but POWERFUL PARTNERSHIPS it felt ridiculously fast. I even got a chance to sail it myself which One of the keys to success is the was super cool. It was hard to steer long standing partnership Treloar’s though as it was going so fast.” has with HSDC Alton.
One of the keys to success is the long standing partnership Treloar’s has with HSDC Alton.
Each year several of our students complete their studies at the Alton Campus and utilise Treloar’s specialist facilities for required therapies, health care and accommodation.
From September 2021 we will have 13 learners studying at HSDC Alton. This link has been fantastic for our students to access mainstream further education while developing essential independent living skills. Many of our students go on to university and other further education and employment and it empowers and enables them to lead more independent lives.
Two students who have benefitted from this partnership are Katherine and Ciaran who started university in September 2021.

Thanks to our donors and supporters
It was far from business as usual through our financial year September 2020 to August 2021. We want to thank all our donors and supporters who continued to stand with us in such a difficult period and helped us raise nearly £1.5 million.
CORPORATE SUPPORT
IN WHAT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT TIMES FOR MANY BUSINESSES, THE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY WAS STILL THERE FOR ALL TO SEE FROM SPONSORSHIP OF EVENTS TO GRANTS FOR MAKING PROJECTS HAPPEN. THIS STREAM OF INCOME IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO LIVE AND STUDY AT TRELOAR’S.
HOMES ESTATE AGENTS
Homes Estate Agents, has been fully committed to creating a Forest School for our students, not only raising the funds but also helping to build the facility. This project was needed to encourage connection and respect for nature through an inspirational and rich natural environment. It will also help reduce stress and anxiety whilst improving well-being.
SUN LIFE FINANCIAL OF CANADA
Sun Life, through their Brighter Life Community Programme made a big impression by funding a wonderful and colourful rainbow shade in the Primary School garden allowing students to play outside all year round.
These are just two of our fantastic corporate supporters, and we are grateful to all who have helped us.
We have many people to thank for donations and our income has come from a wide range of supporters, in a year when many events and activities were sadly cancelled. We cannot thank everyone enough and your support is so important to us.

FULLY ACCESSIBLE COMMUNICATION AND PERFORMING ARTS HALL
Thanks to the generosity of the Constable Educational Trust, and many other donors we raised over £150,000 to enable us to refurbish the Florence Treloar Hall and create a fully accessible Communication and Performing Arts Hall in the heart of our campus. Our students are loving using their new Hall, and here are the thoughts from one of our Teachers
“I love the colour, bright and cheerful, overall it’s got an uplifting feel to it as you approach from the corridor and once you get inside. A marked improvement!”
OUTDOOR LEARNING OFFICIAL OPENING
It was so gratifying that despite some pandemic related delays, work on the Sensory Garden, the fully accessible changing facility and the Greenhouse refurbishment for Treloar’s wonderful new Outdoor Learning Centre (OLC) have been completed.
Our students are enjoying using the fabulous new facilities, which are now far better suited to their very complex disabilities. Our Patron Alan Titchmarsh MBE, officially opened the facility in July.
One of our students, Leon wrote a thank you letter to the donors and described what he enjoys most: “I love the warmth of the sun and growing flowers in the greenhouse. We like the insects and the wheelchair throne, the fresh air and the canopies. You get a free feeling of the lovely outdoors.”
THE FUNDING THAT WE RECEIVE
FROM LOCAL AUTHORITIES SIMPLY DOESN’T STRETCH TO PROVIDE THE SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT THAT OUR STUDENTS DESPERATELY NEED IN ORDER TO ACCESS THEIR EDUCATION AND LIVE LIFE TO THE FULL.
THANKS TO THE SUPPORT
OF OUR GENEROUS DONORS, DURING THE LAST YEAR WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING SPECIALIST EQUIPMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS.
TOMCAT TRIKES
These are lightweight and easily handled. They provide comfortable, soft, safe seating so our students can engage in physical exercise.
Cycling has so many health and social integration benefits for our students — as well as improving well-being and general fitness.
Here are Jemima’s thoughts, “Thank you for giving us the trike, it looks like a racing bike. It is very fast and comfortable. It’s also very fun to be on”.
ACHEEVA BEDS
These are designed to help our students who need extra posture support, who have limited options other than their wheelchair for positioning or who are recovering from surgery. Amy pictured below, has been using the Acheeva Bed regularly as it allows her to change position easily. Amy, has limited mobility so this is one of only two pieces of equipment she’s able to use apart from her wheelchair. It is important Amy and her fellow students can spend time out of their chairs to prevent physical discomfort, without disrupting education.
DRIVING PLATFORM
This allows students without a powerchair to learn the skills required to drive ‘solo’, often enabling them to be independently mobile for the very first time. In many cases this has allowed students to prove to their wheelchair service that they are able to drive and meet the criteria to be provided with a powerchair of their own, something which is quite simply life-changing for them.

Making a difference
WE ARE DELIGHTED THAT THE GENEROUS DONATIONS FROM OUR SUPPORTERS HAVE FUNDED THERAPY, ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY, DIETICIAN AND TRANSITION POSTS AS WELL AS SUPPORTING OUR STUDENTS WITH THEIR EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND AS EVER TO HELP KEEP OUR FABULOUS FACILITIES APPROPRIATE TO CHANGING NEEDS.
TRANSFORMING LIVES
INDEPENDENCE AND MOBILITY
Our dedicated team fundraises for specialist equipment to support the complex needs of students in the School and College.
We have two very important funds at Treloar’s which are generously supported by our donors.

houses that has improved the safety and well-being of students at night, bought specialist transfer boxes for students, hoists for our College classrooms and residential houses, physiotherapy walkers, Parker baths, equipment for our print business the Ian Karten Centre and an augmented reality iSandbox.
The Campbell Sports Fund supports participation in competitive sports, Duke of Edinburgh trips, sport for fun and once in a lifetime trips like power-boating or sailing.
Both funds are available to current students and recent alumni.
FACILITIES
All our superb facilities have been enhanced through the generosity of our funders. This year, we have completely refurbished the Florence Treloar Hall, improving access, installing new ventilation systems and modernising our sound and lighting systems to provide a comfortable and functional space for our students to perform. We have completed work on Phase One of the new Outdoor Learning Centre, providing horticulture, educational and sensory opportunities to our different groups of students on the campus, built a new dining room for our Brewer House students, and started work on accommodation for our key workers. This is essential to ensure that we can attract the high quality staff our students need for their round-the-clock support.

Transition to adult living
EOIN
Following the success of his Supported Internship with Vets4Pets, Eoin has – with the support of his Progress and Transition Coordinator (PTC) – successfully applied for a job with the DWP at Basingstoke Job Centre and secured a full-time paid administration role with them. The Supported Internship opportunity, which allows for students to get hands-on experience working for a company, has helped Eoin to develop the skills and experience necessary for his new job.
Through his experience living in Evans House (one of the independence training houses at Treloar’s), and after working closely with his PTC on what he would like to do post-Treloar’s, Eoin has developed his independence skills so much that he has now gone on to live independently.
“I am living on my own in a supported living flat and love it.”
This is an incredible outcome for Eoin.
“My Supported Internship not only gave me confidence, it taught me work skills and how to be professional in the working world.”

Faizah progressed through our school sixth form and onto Treloar College to study Art and Design. Faizah was extremely clear in the summer term of 2021 that she was ready to move on from education and transition to a supported living environment in her local area.
Faizah embraced her time on Evans House, developing independence skills. After much research and support from her Multi-Disciplinary Team and Social Worker a future living placement was identified. Her team supported the transition by putting together comprehensive leavers reports and attending virtual meetings with the future provider.
Her Progress and Transition Coordinator visited the placement with Faizah over the summer holidays and finally in September 2021, the funding was agreed. Faizah is moving into her new placement over the next few weeks and is pleased that her wish to live as independently as possible, with other young people in a supported living environment has been achieved.

Kerry attended Treloar’s for over six years, firstly within the School and then the College on a year round placement. Kerry is a kind, caring and funny young lady who was the life and soul of the classroom and house. Her transition occurred during the height of lockdown and her PTC arranged for her entire transition to be conducted over Zoom so she could ‘visit’ her property virtually ahead of her move and meet with her new care and support team. The prime objective of the PTC was to ensure Kerry was at the centre of all decision making about her transition and had a voice at all times. Kerry said:
Maddie successfully moved from Treloar’s to Queen Elizabeth Foundation in August 2021.
It was essential that Maddie was able to prepare for the move and have as much support as possible during this time. Working with the Multi Disciplinary Team and her Mum, Maddie was provided with various resources to support the move. Maddie’s initial assessment was carried out virtually and then staff from QEF visited Treloar’s to complete the assessment. Keeping in touch with Mum and Maddie throughout was an essential part of the transition role.
Maddie’s Mum organised dates “I like that they try and get with QEF so that Maddie could visit me involved in things to help and ensure a smooth transition. you make the right decisions Throughout the summer, Maddie for you and they are helping spent time there and then gradually me prepare for where I go after built up to overnight stays and a final Treloar’s.” moving date.
During her time at Treloar’s Kerry worked really hard with her PTC on understanding how she could achieve her aspirations and what skills she would need to learn to help her in her future life. We are all thrilled to say that she reached her goal of being in her own bungalow.
Maddie visits her parents every other weekend, has made lots of new friends, and is thoroughly enjoying the activities on offer. With her big smile and happy personality, Maddie has sailed through her transition and taken it all in her stride!
“I’ve had a fab time in my bungalow and am proud of going to Treloar’s.”

UPDATE ON PLANS AND DEVELOPMENTS
In our 2019/20 annual report, we set out our plans for 2020/21 and beyond. These plans, together with an update on progress during the year are described below:
With the COVID crisis continuing our overriding objectives was:
- to ensure the safety of all our staff and students and to ensure our students receive the fullest and best quality education, therapy and care possible throughout this period.
We are pleased to report that
through the rigorous adoption of policies to minimise the risk of transmission and illness including cleaning, social distancing, PPE, testing and early vaccination allowed us to continue to support the majority of our students on site, even during the winter lockdown, and this rigour, doubtless helped by a little luck, meant that in 2020/21 staff and student cases stayed within community norms and we suffered from no serious illness.
Beyond these immediate objectives, and in so far as the environment in which we work allows, we planned to:
-
Maintain the School and College’s reputation as an Outstanding provider. Inspections became remote and data based in the year due to COVID. None the less Treloar’s remains rated as one of the very best providers in the country by Ofsted and the CQC for Treloar’s care nursing and residential provision.

Strategic report PLANS FOR THE FORTHCOMING YEAR
AS WE EMERGE FROM THE COVID CRISES, OUR OBJECTIVES FOR THE FORTHCOMING YEAR ARE ONCE AGAIN EXPANDING TO MEET EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES. SPECIFICALLY, WITH THE COVID CRISIS CONTINUING INTO 2021/22, OUR OVERRIDING OBJECTIVES ARE:
to support beneficial measures arising from local strategies and the SEND Review
- Maintain the School and College’s
Meanwhile School numbers remained broadly stable over the same period finishing the year 1 lower at 79. This growth in numbers is in part explained by deferred start dates due to COVID in the comparator year and contributed to the growth in income from charitable activities of 10.7% to £23.8m (2020: £21.5m), with a growth in complexity also important. Donations and legacies, at £1.20m (2020: £1.40m), performed respectably in spite of most fundraising activities being severely curtailed by COVID during the year. Equally Event income, mostly on-line, was lower at £79k (2020: £103k) when historically it has been closer to £200k meaning that other fundraising activities fell by 15% to £287k (2020: £336k).

greater and more complex group of students together with additional costs linked to the added protocols and expenditures on PPE and infection prevention and control caused by the pandemic. These costs were partially offset by reduced costs in fundraising reflecting the lower scale of activity in the year. The overall result for the year was positively impacted by strong gains on investments of £1.24m (2020: £763k) and a substantial actuarial gain on the Defined Benefit Pension Scheme of £2.27m, cancelling out a 2020 loss of the same size. This reflected a growth in asset values at a time when liabilities broadly remained unchanged.
Other balance sheet and cash flow highlights included a substantial increase in both debtors and creditors falling due within one year, reflecting the fact that in 2021 and unlike the previous year, many September term invoices were sent out just before the 31st August year end and the investment of a greater part of our cash balances.
GROUP STRUCTURE
THE TRUST HAS ONLY ONE SUBSIDIARY, TRELOAR ENTERPRISES LIMITED (TEL). THE SUBSIDIARY, WHICH IS WHOLLY OWNED, CARRIES OUT NON-CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE TRUST.
During the year to 31 August 2021,
TEL made an operating profit of £21k (2020: £34k), which was donated to the Trust. The Trust has taken exemption from the production of consolidated financial statements, because the figures for the group (incorporating TEL) would not be materially different to those of the Trust as a single entity, and has included in the notes to these accounts the results of TEL.
The financial statements
on the following pages therefore show the assets and operations of the Trust itself rather than the group as a whole.
RESERVES
General reserves available for use by the Trust are deemed to be those that are readily realisable, less funds whose use is restricted or designated for particular purposes. Thus the calculation of general reserves excludes property and other fixed assets that continue to be used in the day-to-day operation of the Trust and in particular the buildings used by the School and College.
The designated fund primarily represents the net book value of tangible fixed assets, which have been purchased with unrestricted funds. This reserve is locked into the value of the estate and can be released only if all or part of the estate is sold. The value
of the fund remained steady during the year at £15.9m (2020: £15.9m). Restricted Funds £9.6m (2020: £9.6m) represent monies received for a restricted purpose with the vast majority of these funds linked to specific building appeals £8.51m (2020: £8.54m). Endowed funds £1.66m (2020: £1.52m) are made up of the Rossington Fund of £1.01m (2020: £0.94m) and Billesden Fund of £652k (2020: £587k) and are given to help students access education and to help monitor and support alumni progress respectively. The historic defined benefit pension scheme fund deficit relates to the excess of liabilities over assets in the defined benefit scheme. In 2020/21 total future obligations reduced by £82k to £45.2m and the value of assets rose by £2.30m to £34.9m meaning that the net deficit reduced to £10.3m (2020: 12.7m).
The Trustees regularly review the value of the reserves required to be held in investments, cash and cash equivalents not restricted to or designated for any particular purpose. Ideally the Trustees believe that a general reserve of 3 to 6 months expenditure is needed to provide adequate working capital, to create a buffer in case of a sudden reduction in student numbers and to allow for fluctuations in investment returns. At 31 August 2021, the General Reserve was £9.91m (2020: £9.33m), equivalent to 4.5 months expenditure. The Trustees consider this level of general reserves to be adequate at this time.

Key policies RISK MANAGEMENT
THE TRUST’S RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY IS BASED AROUND A HIERARCHY OF AN OVERARCHING RISK MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE WHICH CONTAINS ALL OF THE KEY RISKS THAT THE ORGANISATION IS, OR POTENTIALLY COULD BE, EXPOSED TO, LINKED WITH THE RELEVANT MITIGATING ACTIONS, TOGETHER WITH A PRACTICAL RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS AND THE OPERATIONAL TASKS THAT EMANATE FROM IT.
Responsibility for each area rests with an appropriate member of the Leadership team overseen by a Risk and Compliance sub committee of the Trust Board, which regularly reviews the status of each risk and the effectiveness of the management controls. At the highest level, the Trustees receive termly reports in the form of an updated risk management schedule that demonstrates that the appropriate actions have been or are being implemented. Given the challenging regulatory, economic and social environment within which Treloar School, Treloar College and Fundraising operate, risk management is an essential element of the Trust’s management system.

INVESTMENT POWERS
The Articles of Association of the Charity state that it has the power ‘to deposit or invest funds in any manner as the Trustees shall in their absolute discretion think fit to the intent that the Trustees shall have the same full and unrestricted powers of investing and transposing investments in all respects as if they were beneficially absolute owners…’.
Key policies
In the year we split our investment Portfolio between Ruffer LLP and Cazenove Capital with both investment managers adopting a total return basis to investment policy. Both are targeted to provide a return of RPI plus 4% after fees have been taken into account. Our investments have once again performed well in the year with a growth of £1.24m (2020: £763k) representing a gross return of 16.3% (2020: 10.7%), comfortably above the target.
FUNDRAISING STATEMENT
Section 162a of the Charities Act 2011 requires charities to make
a statement regarding fundraising activities.
ENVIRONMENTAL & SUSTAINABILITY
The legislation defines fundraising as ‘soliciting or otherwise procuring money or other property for charitable purposes’. Such amounts receivable are presented in our financial statements as ‘donations
The Defined Benefit Pension Fund investments are held totally separate from the Trust assets and investments. The funds are managed by professional fund managers appointed by the Independent Pension Scheme Trustee, Apex Group. Apex Group consults with the Trust before appointing investment managers and determining the asset allocation policies to be followed. The Trustees receive quarterly reports on the performance of its funds and the Investment Sub-Committee meets the investment manager twice a year to monitor their performance with the help of external professionals.
Alongside delivering on the charity’s objects, we are committed to improving our sustainability and ethical impact. To accomplish this goal our strategies are as follows:
- Introduce a car sharing scheme, install vehicle charging points, replace one of our buses with an electric vehicle, add to the volume of solar panelling, construct Treloar’s first building with ground source heating and open a Forest School.
and legacies’ and as ‘Other fundraising activities’ which includes income from our lottery and events.
- To eventually be carbon neutral and over the next year we will consider plans, targets and timetables to make that carbon neutrality achievable.
The day-to-day management of all income generation is delegated to the executive team, who are accountable to the Trustees.
-
Develop metrics to measure key indicators such as measuring the gas and non-solar electricity we consume, counting the number of petrol and diesel vehicles entering our site daily, counting the amount of single-use plastics consumed and measuring volumes of recycling so as to allow us to use the metrics we are now collecting to steer our developing strategy.
-
Deliver on actions from a recent ESOS (energy saving opportunity scheme) audit.
The Charity is not bound by any regulatory scheme. However the Charity has voluntarily registered with the Fundraising Regulator and complies with the regulator’s codes of practice. We have received six complaints in the year in relation to fundraising activities all of which have been resolved and reported to the regulatory body. Our terms of employment require staff to behave reasonably at all times.
- Expand ‘cycle to work’ and bike loan schemes, remove single use plastics wherever viable and increase our recycling programme. Staff and students are involved wherever possible through the Eco council, working towards Eco School status.

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. No irregularities, including fraud were identified during the audit.
We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
- Reviewed items included in the fraud register
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.
- Challenged assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimates
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. We:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Year Ended 31st August 2021
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:
-
a) Scope and basis of the financial statements
-
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investments at market value and investment properties as stated in note 9, and are in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (the 'SORP 2019'), FRS 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Ireland ('FRS 102'), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
-
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees consider that the Charity is able to continue to operate as a going concern and thus it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
-
Treloar Trust is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements and duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit; Charities and Public Benefit, and that the activities of the Charity, particularly in the areas of education and disability services, are for the public benefit.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with FRS102 requires the Trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts in the financial statements. The areas where assumptions or estimates were significant to the financial statements are disclosed in note 22.
-
b) Exemption from consolidation
-
Consolidated financial statements have not been prepared because the figures for the group, incorporating Treloar Enterprises Limited, the Trust’s only subsidiary, would not be materially different to those of the Trust as a single entity. The Trustees have included in note 9 to these accounts the results of Treloar Enterprises Limited for its accounting year to 31 August 2021. The accounts therefore show the results, cash flows, assets and liabilities of the Trust itself rather than the group as a whole.
-
c) Fee income
-
All income is accounted for in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Where income is received in advance of providing services, it is deferred until the Trust becomes entitled to that income. Fee income from charitable activities is split between teaching, medical and care based on breakdowns of each area provided to purchasers.
-
d) Fundraising income including events and lottery
-
i) Donations, event and lottery income are recognised when received or when the Trust is entitled to the income and receipt is probable and measurable. Where income tax is reclaimable such income is included at the gross amount.
-
ii) Legacies are recognised when received or when the legacy has become accurately quantifiable and has been notified to the Trust as receivable. iii) Gifts in kind (representing donations of equipment or vehicles) in excess of £250 are treated as income. The value of such donations is the fair value of the gift, usually the cost to the donor.
-
e) Grant income
-
Grant income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis where applicable.
-
f) Investment income
-
Investment income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis and is inclusive of the income tax recoverable, where applicable
The notes on pages 49 to 65 form part of these financial statements.
- g) Rental income
Rental income is accounted for in the period for which the rent has been charged.
-
h) Expenditure
-
Revenue and capital expenditure are recognised on an accruals basis inclusive of irrecoverable VAT, where applicable. The Trust directly attributes expenditure in so far as is possible between teaching, medical and care. Support costs are those which provide indirect support e.g. finance, human resources, facilities, governance costs and IT. Support costs not attributable to a single activity like these have been allocated on a basis consistent with identified cost drivers for that cost category such as staff numbers.
-
i) Operating leases
Rentals payable are charged on a time basis over the term of the lease.

For the Year Ended 31st August 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
- j) Tangible fixed assets
The cost of tangible fixed assets includes those costs which are directly attributable to purchasing the assets and bringing them into working condition. The Trust does not capitalise interest as part of the cost of tangible fixed assets. The Trust capitalises refurbishment costs and any associated capital expenditure where such work extends the economic useful life of the building or provides new facilities. Normal repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Trust’s capitalisation policy is to transfer to the balance sheet only capital assets with a cost in excess of £5,000. Depreciation is provided at the following rates to write off the cost of the Trust’s fixed assets over their estimated useful economic lives:
Freehold buildings for use Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over forty years from date of first use.
by School and College Transport and motor vehicles
Transport and motor vehicles are depreciated on a straight-line basis between four and seven years from date of acquisition.
Furniture, fixtures and equipment Furniture, fixtures and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis between three and ten years from date of acquisition.
Computer equipment Computers and other IT equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis between two and four years from date of acquisition.
Assets under construction Costs incurred on assets not completed as at the year end are shown as assets under construction and are not depreciated until such time as completed and transferred to the relevant class of asset.
k) Investment assets
Freehold investment property Freehold investment property is reflected at market value where this is deemed materially different from cost. Listed investments Listed investments are reflected at market value at the balance sheet date. Unlisted investments Unlisted investments are reflected in the balance sheet at cost less provision for any permanent diminution in value or impairment.
Both realised and unrealised profits and losses on investments are reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities.
- l) Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Allowance is therefore made for damaged and obsolete goods.
m) Pensions
The Trust operates Defined Contribution Pension Schemes for which contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they are incurred.
The Trust also contributes to the Teachers Pension Scheme (England and Wales) at rates set by the Scheme Actuary and advised to the Board by the Scheme Administrator. The scheme is a multi employer scheme and as such it is not possible to identify the assets and liabilities which are attributable to the Trust. Therefore, in accordance with FRS 102, the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme.
The Trust also operates a Defined Benefit Pension Scheme, which was closed to future service accrual on 31 December 2007. The contributions are paid at rates agreed with the Scheme Actuary and, together with actuarial gains and losses, are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
n) Reserve funds
The policy of the Trustees is to maintain in a designated fund, such sums as they deem prudent for the future refurbishment and development of those assets used for the primary purpose of the Trust.
The Trustees have also established a General Reserve to provide working capital to create a buffer in case there is a sudden reduction in student numbers and to allow for fluctuations in investment returns. The Trustees’ policy is to seek to retain a buffer equal to at least four months of normal operating expenditure.
The Trustees have also established a Property and Equipment Fund for Assets tied up in the campus at Holybourne and thus not readily realisable.
A Pension Reserve is included within unrestricted funds to reflect the pension deficit on the Defined Benefit Pension Scheme.
Restricted funds are donated for a particular purpose, the use of which is restricted for that purpose. Endowment funds are held as Capital funds from which the income generated may be spent on the specific purposes provided upon the creation of the endowed fund.

For the Year Ended 31st August 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
o) Cash and cash equivalents
The policy for the management of cash and cash equivalents is defined by the financial commitments of the Trust. The Trust aims to keep funds on deposit until such time as they are needed to pay for designated projects, as highlighted within the notes to the accounts. Cash held on deposit with a maturity of three months or less are considered as cash equivalents.
p) Provisions
A provision is made in the accounts where the Trust has a legal or constructive financial obligation, that can be reliably estimated and for which there is an expectation that payment will be made.
q) Financial instruments
The Trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments, including trade debtors, prepayments, creditors and provisions are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

15 PENSIONS
The total pension cost charged to the Statement of Financial Activities for the Year, excluding the movement on actuarial gains and losses, for all the schemes was £1,787,434 (2020: £1,691,928).
Teachers Pension Scheme (England and Wales)
Under the definitions set out in Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Teacher’s Pension Scheme (TPS) is a multi-employer pension scheme. As the TPS is underwritten by central government and the Trust has no future obligation to make contributions to the scheme, this is effectively a defined contribution scheme in so far as it affects the Trust. Contributions by the Trust during the period totalled £505,203 (2020: £398,625).
As at 31 August 2021 contributions were being made into the scheme on behalf of 47 (2020: 46) members of staff. The last actuarial valuation dated March 2018 showed that the Teachers Pension Scheme (England and Wales) is in deficit. Under current accounting regulations there is no requirement for any employer to account for its share of the deficit.
Treloar Group Personal Pension Scheme
The Trust operates a defined contribution scheme to provide retirement benefits for its employees who are not members of the Teachers Superannuation Scheme. Because the Trust makes contributions of at least 1.5% of participating salaries to the Group Personal Pension Scheme, it does not have to offer a Stakeholder Plan. Contributions by the Trust during the period totalled £835,231 (2020: £928,303).
At 31 August 2021 contributions were being made into the Scheme on behalf of 821 (2020: 792) members of staff.
Treloar Defined Benefit Pension Scheme
Treloar Trust (the Trust) operates the Federated Pension Scheme for Treloar Trust (the scheme), a UK registered trust based pension scheme that provides defined benefits. Pension benefits are linked to the members’ final pensionable salaries and service at their retirement (or date of leaving if earlier). The Pension Scheme Trustee is responsible for running the Scheme in accordance with the Scheme’s Trust Deed and Rules, which sets out their powers. The Pension Scheme Trustee is required to act in the best interests of the beneficiaries of the Scheme. There are two categories of pension scheme members: deferred members; current and former employees of the Trust who are not yet in receipt of pension, and Pensioner members: in receipt of pension (some of whom are insured with Aviva and LV).
The Pension Scheme Trustee is required to carry out an actuarial valuation every 3 years, The actuarial valuation of the Scheme was performed by the Scheme Actuary for the Pension Scheme Trustees as at 31 March 2018. This valuation revealed a funding shortfall of £9.1 million. In respect of the deficit in the Scheme as at 31 March 2018, the Trust has agreed to pay £540,000 pa for 19 years. This contribution will increase at 2.7%pa at each 1 July with the first increase due on 1 July 2020. The Trust therefore expects to pay £570,835 to the Scheme during the accounting year beginning 1 September 2021.

Over the accounting period, an allowance of £11,000 has been made for the augmentations granted for members affected by the benefit redress exercise, where overpayments were written off at the request of the Employer. This related to the 20% reduction for overpayments in excess of £1,000 and the 100% reduction for overpayments between £500 and £1,000. This has been allowed for as a past service cost. The decision to write off overpayments up to £500 was included in a prior year when the benefit redress allowance was made. There have been no other amendments, curtailments or settlements over the accounting period.

The property and equipment fund represents the net book value of the tangible fixed assets held for charitable purposes less the amount financed by restricted funds. Since this fund represents existing fixed assets (mainly buildings) it cannot be converted easily into cash and therefore cannot be used to fund other activities. It does not include assets under construction as these are not construed as being relevant for this reserve calculation as not yet completed.
The repairs and improvement fund represents monies set aside by the Trustees towards the finance of special maintenance work and planned major improvements to facilities. We expect to pay £200,000 of these within the next twelve months and all within two years.
The Trustees have also established free reserves to provide working capital to create a buffer in case there is a sudden reduction in student numbers and to allow for fluctuations in investment returns. The Trustees’ policy is to seek to retain a buffer equal to at least four months of normal operating expenditure.

19 TAXATION STATUS
Treloar Trust is a registered charity and no tax is payable on its charitable income. The Trust is not registered for VAT and expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT where incurred.

21 RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURE
The balance due at 31 August 2021 from Treloar Enterprises Limited (TEL), the Trust’s trading subsidiary, to the Trust was £8,889 (2020: £5,796 owed). Transactions between the Trust and TEL comprised £81,937 (2020: £94,364), including a donation of profits of £21,457 (2020: £33,844).

22 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to make estimates and judgements. The matters considered below are considered to be the most important in understanding the judgements that are involved in preparing the financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact amounts reported in the results of operations, financial position and cashflows. Accounting policies are shown in note 1 to the financial statements.
Actuarial assumptions in respect of defined benefit pension scheme
The application of actuarial assumptions relating to the defined benefit pension scheme is incorporated in the financial statements in accordance with FRS102. In applying FRS102, advice is taken from an independent qualified actuary. In this context, significant judgement is exercised in a number of areas, including future changes in inflation, mortality rates and the selection of appropriate discount rates.
Pension scheme deficit reduction payments
As explained in note 15, there is a deficit reduction plan in place in respect of the defined benefit pension scheme. FRS102 requires a liability to be recognised in respect of the present value of future contributions payable under the terms of the deficit recovery plan. The incorporation of this liability in the financial statements involves the exercise of judgement in a number of areas, including the selection of an appropriate discount rate.
Bad debt provision
Consideration is given to debtors which are past their due date as at the balance sheet date and a provision is made against these debts based on both specific information and experience.
Investment Properties
Values of investment properties are constantly monitored to ensure that material fair values are reflected within the financial statements. These include judgements on the correct basis of valuation to apply, yield values of these properties where this basis is used and assessment of the most appropriate yield basis. All of these matters include some form of uncertainty around these judgements.
The Trust is aware of possible future receipts from legacies, arising on deaths prior to 1 September 2021 where the exact sums are not quantifiable and these are believed to be in the order of £28,022 (2020: £23,865).
18 CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
As at 31 August 2021, the Trust had contracted to build Key Worker Accomodation on site at a cost of £3.9m of which £630,000 had already been incurred. The development is due to complete in September 2022.
