ST AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL LIMITED IA company limited by guarantee) ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF ¥r AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 REVIEW OF THE YEAR BY THE HEAD This was a year which was still dominated by the shadows of the pandemic and the school continued to be resilient and agile in the situation. As we emerged from restrictions. we were delighted to be able to return to face to face events with concerts, Association Day and visits all back in full flow. Just as our students were able to benefit once more from a wide variety of educational and residential visits. so we welcomed local primary and Prep schools to the farm. The Priory Farm continues to be a source of learning for many people- whether it is animal husbandry or leadership. or the embedding of values. It wa5 pupils who were present when 9 lambs were born. The lambing is unassisted but the students learn qualities of patience, courage and tenacity a5 they play their part in the process. They are first on the scene to protect the lambs from foxes. Thus, a world of wider skills is embedded by those who are Farm Managers, or who come along at the weekends to help parent volunteers in the allotment. The Priory Form continues to be a source of learningfor many people - whether it is animal husbandry or leadership, or the embedding of values. Our use of outdoor space contlnued to flourish as we turned our first in person Open Day outside and as team sports returned along with Duke of Edinburgh's Award training weekends taking place on site. We were inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in November 2021 and were fully compliant with no recommendations. We were judged excellent in all areas. The commitment of all staff, parents, girls and governors to the school's vision and values was a significant part of this judgement. This is a community where we all pull in the same direction to achieve our ambitious goals. OBJECTS, PURPOSE AND ETHOS The Charit¢s objective as set out in the Section 3 of the Memorandum of A550ciation is the advancement of education in the Roman Catholic tradition. The principal activity of the Charity in the period under review, continues to be that of providing a complete education for girls, of the highest standard, founded on the Catholic faith. We were inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in November 2021 and were fully compliant with no recommendations. We were judged excellent in all areas. However our aspirations go so much further than these dry statements. During the year we refreshed our Mission Statement and in so doing defined a new purpose: 'Our girls will change the world.
ST AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL LIMITED IA company limited by guarantee) ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF ST AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 This followed lengthy discussions among and between Governors, the senior team, staff, parents. pupils and alumnae to tease out the essence of what the school stands for and what it strives to achieve for the community which it serves and of which it is a part. From these discussions came a series of supporting bullet points designed to expand on that core purpose and guide the community in its activities and decision-making We are a Catholic community inspired by the vision of our founders and passionate about shaping a better future. We empower pupils with outstanding results, a love of learning and an alternative way of thinking. Augustinians are ethical leaders sowing joy, truth and courage. In this school freedom and gerberosity of spirit flourish. We seek a sustainable and prosperous future for all of the world's communities. We cherish love for our neighbour, welcoming different faiths and cultures. Learning through dialogue we have hearts open to the whole world. | Our girls will change the world We are now exploring the potential of these statements to inform what we teach, how we teach it, how we nurture and inspire all thgse who join us and to identify the supporting resources, human, physical and financial, which are needed to deliver on this ambitious goal. As this exciting new vision takes shape we continue to focu5 on supporting each girl and member of staff to be the best version of themselve5. We aim to instil in them the emotional freedom to grow intellectually and spiritually and to understand the truth about themselves, others and our complex world. We give our girls the courage to be ambitious and compassionate and we provide a Secure. happy and nurturing community in which they can explore all the above. We seek, develop and retain the best staff to support girls on their academic journey while valuing the wellbeing and progress of each individual. STRATEGIC REVIEW Against these established and emerging objectives the School is pleased to report the following achievements. Academic Excellence St Augustine's continues to deliver an outstanding education for all pupils, across a broad and diverse curriculum. In sumrner 2022, public examinations were held for the first tirne slnce 2019 after two years of centre-asse5sed and teacher-assessed grades.

Students, choices for higher education reflect their unique passions and response to an evolving world with subjects including Interrbational Relations, Digital Media and Culture and Biomedical Sciences, as well as English Literature, Law and Physics. The school continues to innovate and refresh the curriculum. Projects for 2021-2022 have included embedding changes to curriculum as a result of an extensive diversity review in the previous year and focusing on oracy skills through the "Oracy for Advocac(, programme, empowering gir15 throughout the school to Use their voices for the Common Good. In addition, to 5UPPOrt the School theme for the year of "Creating Space" a new Year 7 enrichment programme was introduced - enabling students to choose their own areas of learning, and staff to share more of their own specialisms outside of the curriculum. Topics irbtluded "The Final Frontier" lan exploration into humans. relationship with outer space), 'Leaving Home" lan in-depth investigation into refugees and migration) and "Sustainable Futures" la series of fieldwork activities related to protecting the environment). We were especially impressed with our EAL children, who all managed to deliver a 2 minute speech to their class. In Preps and Pre-Preps, as part of our ambitious Oracy for Advocacy Project, every child at KS2 delivered a TED Talk on a subject of their choice to their class. We were especially impressed with our EAL children, who all managed to deliver a 2 minute speech to their class. One Year 5 pupil made it through to the Semi-finals where she delivered a speech to the whole of KS2 on cats, having just started school here in September speaking very little English. Winners were selected to go forward and present their talks to audiences from other Ealing Deanery Schools, culminating in a grand final held here during the Summer Term. where they received overwhelmingly positive feedback on their confident, assured delivery and clear content. Subjects were wide and varied and included 'More Women In Science,, The Importance of Sport, and 'MotherTeresa'. The highlight of our Oracy for Advocacy Project was the opportunity for a group of Year 4 and Year 6 pupils to attend a series of masterclasses at Westminster Hall, along with 4 other schools in the Diocese, where they were speaking on Subjects of Catholic Social Teaching. Children who are les5 confident speakers were asked to deliver the speeches and were coached by more able, articulate peers.

BTK Celebration Days incorporate cross- curricular activities, which enable children to explore big theological questions and go higher and deeper with their thinking and understanding. Liturgy Monitors are involved in the planning and delivery of these. Planning is carried out for activities for EYFS. KSI, Lower KS2, Upper KS2 so that children experience all of the activitie5 across a 2 year cycle. Children across the school, from Reception to Year 7, came off timetable for the day to evaluate the big question 'Does our behaviour matter?, Highlights last year were our Flight From Egypt/Refugees Day in January where children across the school from Reception to Year 7 came off timetable for the day to evaluate the big question 'Doe5 our behaviour matter?1 in the context of the Flight To Egypt Scripture and the current plight of refugees today. Year 5 and 6 pupils from Eyes of The World Club demonstrated their leadership skills as they were able to applv their learning to their knowledge of Catholic Social Teaching and organise a collection of coats for refugees, which they donated to the Salvation Army. A BTK Celebration Day on the theme of Bread was also held in March, which was observed by Headteachers from around the country as an example of excellence as part of their formation course. Children explored the big question 'What is bread?, and linked this to Scripture, made their own bread and examined bread as a source of physical and spiritual nourishment. Year 5 and 6 pupils from Eyes of The World Club organised a Bake Sale in the Prep Playground at the end of the day, with proceeds going to Refugee Attion Charity. Pastoral Care "By thAS everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you hove lovefor one another.

We are named after St Augustine who said that we learn best when we are happy. In November 2021, the Independent Schools Inspectorate praised the safeguarding systems. strong pastoral care and school culture, and concluded that the work we do is judged to be 'excellent.' The Big Sister-Little Sister programme for new Form111 pupils was re-launched after periods of lockdown which helped with the smooth transition to Seniors.

ST AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL UMITED IA company limited by guarantee) ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF ST AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 February saw the Seniors engaging in a variety of activities to celebrate St Augustine'5 Priory Wellness Week in conjunction with the nationally celebrated Children'5 Mental Health Week. from voga and mindfulne55, Sports and body image workshops to sushi making. Enrichment Week in June provided a platform for year groups to come off timetable for a week of fun to include harmony in nature workshops, theatre trips and outdoor adventures such as high rope climbing and paddle boarding. It is our central aim that each pupil at St Augustine's Priory feels known, supported, confident and encouraged to be their best self as part of our education of the whole person Form Teachers have a new Handbook which outlines procedures for delivering exceptional pastoral care on a daily basis and aims to ensure consistency in care of all our Senior pupils. The DSL, Heads of Year, SENDCO and School Nurse continue to develop their skill sets by attending Youth Mental Health First Aid and Level 3 Safeguardin8 courses as well as networking with colleagues working in other Local Authority schools. The DSL and DDSLS continue to receive half termly supervision sessions with a safeguarding expert to look after their own health when dealing with a challenging workload. The appointment of a new PSHEE Lead in the Senior5 ha5 been very impactful. Staff have appreciated her diligent and organised approach and P5HEE will now be given an 'engagement' grade on reporting systems to raise the profile f urther. The new appointment of an Assistant Head Co- Curricular and DDSL enhances the pastoral and safeguarding provision we currently have in place. Pupil voice remains strong and we have had pupil focus groups on a range of topics including reviewing our Promoting Good Behaviour policy where pupil comments resulted in amendments to policy and procedures. The move to an online rewards and sanctions system was a particular success durinE periods of Covid-19 lockdown and this has been further enhanced with a change of software to Class Charts, which gives pupils and parents enhanced access to rewards and sanctions. Cocurricular Adventures The Duke of Edinburgh award was faced with the challenge of catching up two cohorts with their bronze award during this year. We had a completion of 85 pupils among two year groups, which forced us to book two separate camp-sltes in order to facilitate the numbers. With no major medical issues or concerns and all the students performing I can confidently say this was our biggest DofE success to date.

The Art department continues to nourish our students, artistic skills and creative development. Our pupils were exposed to various techniques and artistic methodologies, from drawing and painting to print and sculpture, dressmaking to fine art textiles, design and digital manipulation, photographv and film. We explore variou5 artists, different cultures and socio-economic issues, always promoting inclusion and diversity for all pupils. Exciting artwork comes from passion, and so we facilitated our girls In flnding a concept and method of working that suits their interests and aspirations,. therefore, our students have been very active this year. For example, in December, the Art Department and its pupils created Christmas decorative props for the Carol Service in St Benedict's Abbey Church. Coming out of Covid restrictions, we organised trips for our students to Tate Modern and the National Gallery. Our girls expanded their artistic knowledge and created multiple sketches by looking at contemporary and classical artists, work. All students continue to show exceptional enthusiasm in generating their artwork, and we have displayed their new work throughout the School. The Art Department constantly refreshed displays of students, artwork. This included using different techniques and the influences of many styles of accessible artists, not only painting and drawing.

The course will provide our girls with further options for their future as it is widely regarded as a pivotal course for those who wish to undertake a career in Digital Design and a standard entry qualification for top Ljniversitles. In Music all of our ensembles restarted, and the regular but uplifting routine of our termly concerts was re-established, which wa5 wonderful after everything that had happened. The Carol Service, too, was back in EalinE Abbey and proved to be a very special and moving moment for many in the school community. The magic was very definitely back with fantastic performances from both our slngers and our instrumentalists. Elsewhere, we had the honour of performing at the Society of Heads, Conference near Chester in February. Our Baroque Group (formed during lockdownl set off to play a set of divine music for a gathering of Heads from around the country and were received warmly. Unexpected illness nearly derailed us but in true Augustinian style, Mr James Davies, attending as a Head but also one of our governors and an experienced musician, stepped in and played with the students to great applause. During the Lent and Summer terms, we had a packed calendar of trips, including taking approximately 40 junior and senior students to sing at the 02 Arena in Greenwich as part of the Young Voices 25th Anniversary Concert. This wa5 a fabulous day for the students. and they particularly enjoyed getting VIP badges and t-shirtsl We also took a group of KS4 and KS5 music students into London to see Les Misérables at the Sondheim Theatre. We study bits of this musical in class for the GCSE course, but nothing really prepares you for the live experience, and many of the students were visibly moved, not least because it was the first time many of them had beers at a public event with other audlence members in a long time. The Pre-Preps and Preps were also back in full swing. staging various concerts and shows. The year Wa5 rounded off with the very funny production of 'Going for Gold, by Year 6, headed up by Mr5 Warren Imusicl and Mrs McNulty Idramal. Sporting Success In curricular PE this year, we have adopted new approache5 to stretch our teaching and therefore the girls. Junior students have been challenging themselves to learn key skills which they can transfer to all activities, not just the game itself. In Seniors. we have taught game play principles in different sports, such as zone and player marking. This allows pupi55 to understand how skills can be transferred between games and provides them with a toolkit to approach any sport with confidence in later life. Although time consuming. we believe this provides a much more enriching curriculum for the girls. We have also included modules on leadership in our PE lessons in support of the school's aim of developing the whole person. Both teachers and pupils greatly enjoyed an Inclusion and Diversitv module within the curriculum- seated volleyball and goal ball gave everyone a greater understanding of disability sport, and different sporting pathways. Form111 have recently enjoyed exploring this

ST AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF ST AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 Creating Space Throughout the academic year the school's theme has been "creating space." As we emerged from the pandemic and a degree of normality returned, the school acknowledged the importance of every individual having space to adjust to a new world where distancing, bubbles, outbreaks and face masks were part of everyday life. Creating space was a mental, emotional and physical imperative as pupils and staff adjusted to being physically in school and Government imposed restrictions eased, while the virus was Still a threat. Understandably there was nervousness on the part of parents, pupils and staff and so assemblies, staff meetings and other gatherings were used to give time for reflection, ensure people felt safe and to signpost ways to be resilient and move forward. At all times the school 50ught to follow Governmerbt guidelines. But the theme was also deployed in our thinking relating to the curriculum and our physical environment. Pupils explored space in the sense of our relationship with the stars.. rockets were launched into the Ealing sky at the September Open Day. The new Badano Hall was erected to provide a multi-use space in which the school could gather, exams could be held, games would be played and performances would be staged. It was primarilv intended as a substitute for the anticipated loss of the main hall during the building works and it proved a hit with staff and pupils, exemplified by the numerous end of summer term performances and other events which it hosted. Our plan to upgrade the school site had to be put on hold as a mixtLJre of construction inflation and financing technicalities gave us pause for thought. Development continued in the form of a new Set of temporary tlassrooms which were put in place so we are ready when the building work recommences. Across the school old spaces were reinvigorated with innovative colour schemes and new learning spaces emerged tailored more clearly to the learning requirements of the 21, Centurv. Across it all ran a mantra of clearing out the old to give us space to move and think and this extended even to the staff room where dust gathering tomes were finally removed and items which nobody could claim, or even identify in one particularly peculiar instance, were firbally consigned to history. Public Benefit The governors have complied with the duty prescribed in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to guidance published by The Charity Commission, including public benefit guidance. Although the early part of the year entailed social distancing and infection control measures, nonetheless our outdoor facilities, including the AstroTurf. were used almost every day by local clubs. The Chapel is the focus of retreats by local groups. Indoor and outdoor stages are much enjoyed by 12

The performance of the investment is reviewed regularly and assessed against appropriate industry benchmarks. Goin Concern to 31 lul 2024 The Trustees have assessed the School's ability to continue as a going concern. In making thi5 assessment the Trustees have considered several factors when forming their conclusions. Including a review of forecasts to July 2024, sensitivity analysis and a consideration of key risks. The balance sheet is positive and improvlng due to annual surpluses. Potential risks to the school'5 viability are mitigated through a longstanding relationship with the landlord, a reputation for providing an outstanding education at a price which compares well with nearby independent schools and a healthy pipeline of future pupils whose parents are attracted by the special ethos of a single sex. all-through Catholic school. Investments in strong teaching staff and physical infrastructure position the school well in a competitive rnarket. The school has fixed costs energy contracts in place which renew in September 2023 and has signed further fixed contracts to 2027 to try to insulate itself from the worst effects of the energy crisis. Cost inflation has been addressed in the current year through 3 6.8Yts fee increase. The school has a realistic 5-year plan for growth.

ST AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL LIMITED (A company limited by guarantee) ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF ST AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL UMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 PRINCIPAL RISKS The governor5 recognise their duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The governors continue to review the Pf incipal areas of the school's operations in order to identify risks that could affect the day-to-day operations of the school. In the opinion of the governors, the charity has established resources and review systems which, under normal conditions. should allow these risks to be mitigated to an acceptable level, in its day-to-day operations. The governors consider the following to be the principal risks on which the charity needs to focus.. Welfare, health or safety of a child or staff member is compromised Comprehensive risk assessments for site and activities under continuous review. Safeguarding, child protection and anti-bullying policies are in place. Staff are appointed only in accordance with Safer Recruitment policy with the full range of pre-employment checks. Strong leadership of pastoral care in partnership with school nurse. Designated Safeguarding Leads trained and monitored by Safeguarding Committee. Site secured and access controlled. CCTV monitoring. Twice-daily registration. Well- rehearsed missing child plan. Staff Wellbeing Committee ensures staff concerns are made known to management. The school's development plan is contingent on receiving external funding which will need to be secured on the land and buildings which the school occupies but which it does not own. Implementation of the plan is therefore dependent on the 1941 Trust to provide such security in some form. While this has been agreed with the Trust, this is legally complex and therefore is likely to be time consuming and difficult. Fees remain competitive with local market. School performance through lockdown underlined added value and academic and pastoral performance relative to fees continue5 to show value for monev. Contingency plan for VAT on fees or loss of discretionary rate relief in place. Long term energy contracts in place. Schoolwide sustainability drive. Governance arrangements with 1941 Trust delay execution of the strategy Affordability and cost of living GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION Histor and charit status The school, known as St AuBUStine's Priory, was established in France in 1634, and moved to Ealing in 1911, establishing itself on the present site in 1914-15. 15

ST. AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL LIMITED IA ¢¢)mpany Ilmlted by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ST. AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL UMITED ICONTINUEDI Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Trustees, responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being 5ati5fied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control a5 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 tease 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 35 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 IUKI 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. Irregularities, including fraud, 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, includinE fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. 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/auditor5responsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's report. 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 understsnding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable 21
ST. AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL UMITED IA company limlted by 8uaraMeel INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ST. AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL LIMITED ICONTINUEDI company operates, focuslng 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 together with the Charities SORP IFRS 1021. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulation5 as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement item5. 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 The Education Ilndependent School Standards) Regulations 2014, General Data Protection Regulation IGDPRI, Health and safety legislation, Taxation legislation and Employment legislation Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other managemer)t and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We identified the greatest risk of materlal Impact on the financial statements from irregularities. including fraud, to be within the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Finance and Capital Projects Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, Independent Schools Inspectorate, Of5ted and readlng minute5 of meetings of those charged with governance. 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 law5 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 audlt. there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation5, 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'5 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.

The School's reglstered address is Hillcrest Road, Ealing, London. W5 25L. Accounting policies 2.1 Basis of preparation of flnancial statements The financial statement5 have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS1021, the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice 2015. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historic cost or transaction value unles5 otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. The School is a Public Benefit Entity registered as a charity in England and Wales and a company limited by guarantee. Going concern The Trustees have assessed the School's ability to continue as a going concern. In making this assessment the Trustees have considered several factors when forming their conclusions, including a review of forecasts to July 2024, sensitivity analysis and a consideration of key risks. The balance sheet is positive and improving due to annual surpluses. Potential risks to the school's viability are mitigated through a longstanding relationship with the landlord, a reputation for providing an outstanding education at a price which compares well with nearby independent schoo15 and a heafthy pipeline of future pupi15 whose parent5 are attracted by the special ethos of a single sex, all-through Catholic school. Investments in strong teaching Staff and physical infrastructure position the school well in a competitive market. The school has fixed costs energy Contracts in place which renew in September

Cost inflation has been addressed in the current year through a 6.8% fee increase. The school has a realistic S-year plan for growth. Annual budgets are set to be able to service a bank loan to fund the next phase of development,. and performance is closely scrutinised and monitored by the governing body and its sub-committees. Having regard to the above the Trustees believe it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertaintv In the application of the accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgement, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying value 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. Attual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basls. 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 affected current and future periods. In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimatlon uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year. The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the Schijol's financial statements, 2.2 Income Fees receivable and similar income Fees receivable comprise tuition fees charged to pupils less scholarships and bursaries. Registration fees are non-refundable and are credited to income when received. Deposlts are included as a liability until refunded or, on ceasing to be refundable, are credited to income.

Where the donor or an appeal has imposed trust law restrictions, voluntary income is credited to the relevant restricted fund. 2.3 Expendlture Expenditure is allocated to expense headings on a direct cost basis. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included within the item of expense to which it relates. Governance costs comprise the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements. Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, discounted to present value for longer-term liabilities. Expenditure attributable to more than one c05t category in the SOFA is apportioned to them on the basis of the estimated amount attributable to each activity in the year, either by reference to staff time or the use made of the underlying assets. as appropriate. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the School's objectives, as well a5 any associated support costs. 2.4 Government grants Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned.

ST. AUGUSTINE'S PRIORY SCHOOL LIMITED IA company Ilmlted by guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMEl+lTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31JULY Z022 The 31 March 2016 Valuation Report was prepared in accordance with the benefits set out in the scheme regulations and under the approach specified in the Directions, as they applied at 5 March 2019. However. the assumptions were considered and set by the Department for Education prior to the ruling in the 'McCloud/Sargeant case,. This case has required the courts to consider Cases regarding the implementation of the 2015 reforms to Public Service Pensions including the Teachers, Pensions. On 27 lune 2019 the Supreme Court denied the government permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's judgment that transitional provisions introduced to the reformed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to unlawful age discrimination. The government is respecting the Court's decision and has said it will engage fully with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member representatives to agree how the discriminations will be remedied. The government announced on 4 February 2021 that it intend5 to proceed with a deferred choice underpin under which members will be able to choose either legacy or reformed scheme benefits in respect of their service during the period between l April 2015 and 31 March 2022 at the point they become payable. The TPS is subject to a cost cap mechanism which was Put in place to protect taxpayers against unforeseen changes in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 announced that there would be a review of thi5 C05t cap mechanism. in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal's ruling in the Mccloudlsargeant case and until there is certainty about the value of pensions to employee5 from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020, and a consultation was launched on 24 June on proposed changes to the cost control mechanism following a review by the Government Actuary. Following a public consultation, the Government have accepted three key proposals recommended by the Government Actuary, and are aiming to implement these changes in tlme for the 2020 valuations. The 2016 cost control valuations have since been completed in January 2022, and the results indicated that there would be no changes to benefits or member contributions required. The results of the cost cap valuation are not used to set the employer contribution rate, and HM Treasury has confirmed that any change5 to the employer contribution rate resulting from the 2020 valuations will take effert in April 2024. Until the 2020 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 cost5 is included in these financial statements.
