Strategles to achieve the prlmary objectives A key strategy towards the achievement of the primary objective5 15 the annual review and update of the School's Development Plan and its approval by the Governing Body. An important part of the review process is an assessment of performance during the year against the targets set for the period, with the results of that a55e55ment being used to inforrn proposed targets and action plans for the future. The Development Plan embodies the operational aims and future plans of the School (summarised on page 181 and, once approved by Governors, becomes a tool for use by the key mana8ement personnel to inform operational planning and decision making.

The School roll averaged 1,23812021: 1,2241 puplls across all year groups from Reception upwards with an additional 122 pupi1s12021: 831 in Kindergarten on a full or part time basis. The School continues to maintain the high standard5 and ethos for which The King's School Worcester has become known. Public benefit The Kin<5 School Worcester remain5 committed to the aim of providing public benefit. In setting the School's objertives and planning its activitie5 the Governor5, a5 charity trustees, have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit requirements lunder the Charitles Act 20111 and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on advancing education and on fee-charging. Whilst the aims of the School Include maintaining and enhancing the academic 5ucce5s of its pupils, the School welcomes pupils from all backgrounds and it is important that access to the education offered is not restricted to those who can afford the fees. The Governor5 believe that pupils benefit from learning within a diverse community and established the School's 8ursary Scheme land related Development Office fundraising function). In 2017 the Foundation launched a campaign to raise additional funds for bursaries. The Governors, policy is to award grants and bursaries on the basis of educational ability and pa￿ntaI means Isubject to any restrictions imposed by any donor of the funds) to enable pupils to join the School. or to ensure continuity of education rf this would otherwise be at risk due to unforeseen hardship or temporary difficulty. The pupils who attend the School and who receNe financial sUPPOrt contribute to the whole school community in a variety of ways, conferrin8 benefit upon the whole institution and, in some cases, to the wider community. Financial support is provided not only through bursaries but also through the provision of scholarships, grants and fee conce55ions. This year the School provided financial support totalling £2.Im to 523 pupils12021: £2.Om to 486 pupi1s1- Within this, mean tested awards ranging trom IO% to 100% remission totalling £0.63m were made to 82 pupils12021: £0.67m to 82 pupi151, THE KING'S SCHOOLWORCESTER ANNUAL REPORT OFTHE GOVERNORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 with further grants to assist with the cost of extra-currlcular actNities. equipment and school trips. Of this totsl number, 12 pupi15 benefitted from 100% remission of fees. with a further 24 receiving awards equwalent to at least 75% fee remission. Included In these figures are 5 full bursaries granted to Ukrainian pupils in the summer term of 22. The Governors takes the view that the provision of bursaries is important but not to the exclusion of the much wider benefit that the School provides to the community. The School enga8e5 in manv other activities that pr(wide wider public benefit. Examples range from the provision of facilities for local schools. charitie5 and community groups public access to cultural and educational events, activities and productions and a number of well-established partnerships wlth local maintained senior and primary schools. Activities included inter school quizzes at primary level for local schools, math's challenges. workshops in music. sports and drama. Pupils within all three schools are encouraged to develop an awarene55 of the social context of the education they receive at the School and engage in fund raisin8 activities on behalf of a wide range of local. national and internatlonal charities. Thi5 has been particularly pertinent given the current pandemic.

The ABDO fundraises for the benefit of the School throu8h The King's School Worcester Development Trust, with appropriate costs borne by the Trust.

FINANCIAL REVIEW Results for the year The Autumn 2021 term began under the continuing threat of disruption as a result of Comftavirus, with the remote learning provision continuing to be an option for pupils and staff when the virus hit. However. overall. 2021122 has seen a return to more normal times. wlth many more of our co- curricular events able to run throughout the year and a return to public exams in their conventional form. Fees were increased for the 21122 year following a year of fee freeze5 during the pandemic. and, despite rising costs from increasing interest rates and food and fuel costs, the Foundation kept close control of resources over the year and, as a result, h35 reported a surplus of £173.000. The Governors are pleased with this result in what has been another challenging year. The net incoming resource5 of the group for the year from operations were £177,OC#)12021'. outgoing resources £71,000). The net increase in funds for the year was £173,ocKI12021: decrease £27,0001. The net incoming resources for the year from operations of £177,000 a￿ better than was expected for the year. and this reflects the cautlous nature that the Foundation has taken to controlling costs during the year. The incorning resource5, while pleasing, are still slightly below the optimum level that the School considers necessary to be able to continue to finance the futu￿ development of the School's facilities and educational programme. The School Development Plan5 include a number of initiatives for 2022123 and 2023124 intended to address the net income requirement5 of the School for future Investment; however, the School is cautious in terms of acting against these plans while the future impact of the cost of living crisis remains uncertain. li THE KING'S SCHOOL WORCESTER ANNUAL REPORT OFTHE GOVERNORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Reserves Level and Pollcy The school's Reserves Policy is to maintain sufflcient unrestricted income reserves to enable it to meet Its short-term financial obligations in the event of an unexpected revenue shortfall and to relv upon its realisable general purposes fixed assets as adequate cover for the School's longer-term financial obligations, including the actuarially calculated but transient funding deficit of £0.74m on the School's defined benefit staff pension scheme that under FRS102 is accrued as a liobility. The School's unrestricted reseryes are deployed as funds for part of the school's premises and equipment and at the year*nd free reserves represented a balan￿ of £4.7m12021.' £4.6ml. The Governors consider that free reseNes In the order of £4.2m, or approximately three months, expenditure, would be desirable irt order to cover the risks and uncertainties of operating as an independent educational establishment. The long-term policy objective is therefore to build up reserves out of annual operating surpluses, supplemented by Foundation Development fundraising. until that level is reached, subject to the prior demand5 of further capital expenditure to equlp the school with the up-to-date facilities needed to maintain the standard of educational servlces currently provided. The 5chool'5 tanEible fixed assets are all held tor use by the school as disclosed in note 10 to the financial statements. Given the specialist nature of the school's land and buildings, Governors are unable to comment on the market value of such properties and whether this is materlally different from that shown in the financial statements. Revlew of achlevements and performance for the year The Kinls community has once again Shown how resilient and adaptable they are when facing the ongoing challenges that COVID continued to present durlng the Autumn term and embracing the return to a new normal during the Summer term. Public Exams resumed this year. There were minor adaptations in the form of Advanced Information on topics upon which questions would be set by the examination boards but, in many cases, these were illusory, and all tOPiC5 needed to Covered if a candidate was to access the higher grades. There was some controversy In the press when tOPiC5 had been excluded from Advanced Information and then appeared on exam papers. Teaching staff and pupils at King's were made aware that this could happen and were relatwely unaffected when it did so. An additional support for candidates was the lowering of grade boundaries. This occurred in most subjects for at least some of the grades and typically saw the boundaries of the lowest grades drop to ensure sufficient passes at A Level and GCSE. The government position was to aim for the distribution of higher grades to fall halfvjay between those in 2022 (Teacher Assessed Grades) and those in 2019 when public exams last took place. The grades at Kin8'5 were higher than the national haTr￿aY point, reflecting the continuity of education delivered through hybrid learning and the careful COVID mitigations which reduced transmission and led to many fewer pupil absences than reported nationally. 12 THE KING'S SCHOOLWORCESTER ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 GCSE: 1. 76% of our pupils achieved grade 9-7 and 99.1% achieved grades 9 to 4. 2. 54 pupils139% of the cohort) were awarded grade5 9 to 7 in all their subjects, with six pupils achieving grade 95 in 11 subjerts. 3. 79 pupils158% of the cohort) were awarded 9 to 7 in 8 subjects or more. A. Level: 1. 54.7% A*/A, 80.3% A*B, 98.4% A_C. 2. 16 pupils received A* grades in all their subjects. 3. 54 students139%1 ￿(eIved A or A grade5 in all their subjects. All parents, evenings took place online through a dedicated platform, as feedback from parents had been very positive, with multiple requests to keep this Svstem on an on80ing basis. The hybrid teaching arrangement continued until summer half term,. this enabled pupils who were absent to join le55ons from home. A full year of normal study took plate. This year saw the introduction of our Psychology A Level, which started with high numbers of approximately 40 students, showlng that this was a gap that needed filling In our academic offering. Our pupils continue to maximise the opportunities outside the cla55room which form a key part of their education here at King's. After a year of a hybrid offering of clubs and activitie5, we were delighted to be able to return to our fuller and more regular co-curricular programme. As well a5 offering firm favourites in our to-curricular programme such as Eco-club, Model United Nations, Robotlcs and Engineerlng, and World Scholars, thls year has seen the introduction of a very popular Archaeology Club. In sport. we have continued to provide before-school, lunchtime and after-school clubs and tralning sessions dally. We are also proud of the opportunities our pupi15 have had to engage in competitive team and individual sports. The achievements In three of our sport5 are highlighted below, with their accomplishments complimented by those from across the range of sport on offer. We were delighted to be named. once again. a5 one of the top 100 schools for Cricket (The Cricketer Schools Guide, 20221. Our 1st Xl enjoyed success in the National T20, progressing to the regional semi-finals, and our U17s progressed through to the semi-final of the National Plate competition. Our U14 team was crowned County Champions and their success qualifies them for the National Competition as U15s next year. The U15 girls made it through to the last 16 of the National Cup and to the regional finals of the Lady Taverners Indoor Competition. In Athletics, 44 athletes qualified to compete for Worcester City in the County Championships, wilh many competing in two events; this meant that King's made up well over half of the Dlstrict team. The medal haul of 8 Golds, 11 Silvers and 6 Bronzes places us as one of the most successful schools in the county- 14 pupils went on to compete for Hereford and Worcestershire in the prestigious Mason Trophy inter-counties competitlon. Thls is an opportunity to test themselves against some of the best athlete5 in the country. Again, the win of 6 Gold. 6 Silver and s Bronze meda15 is an apt reflection of the skills and detennination of 411 involved. This year. Rowing has On￿ again enjoyed record interest from pupi15 in the School and contlnues to offer an outstanding programme. Two of our U6 rower5 have represented Great Britain in highly prestigious events, one winning Gold in the Munich International Regatta and Silver in the World 13 THE KING'S SCHOOL WORCESTER ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 Championships in Italy, and one securing fifth place in the Coupe de la Jeunesse International Regatta.

Pupils have enjoyed success in their LAMDA examinations and we are delighted to have been named once again as a Trinity Arts Award Champion Centre. As in previous years, our cohorts were entered for, and sutteeded In securing, one of the nationally recognised qualifications. In addition. many pupils have this year secured success in their ARRSM and Trinity Music examinations. Our Sixth Form Charity Committee has again delivered an outstanding programme of charitable and fundraising events, one highlight being the organisation and delivery of a fun day at a local special school. As war broke out in the Ukraine, the King's Foundation of Schools responded immediately. To date it has raised a staEgering £6,500 tQ 5UPPOrt their chosen charity, Save the Children via the Dlsasters Emergency Committee {DECI. The charity days organised by the pupils saw pupils and staff across the Foundation wear yellow and blue, run popular cake sales, make flags and raise money via concerts and events. Some Sixth Fomiers also donated their salaries from their part-time job5 to support the fundraisin8 efforts. Our chamber thoir learned and recorded the Ukraine song 5hchedryk, written in 1916 by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych. More recogni5able to a UK audience as the tune to the Carol of the Bells. it ha5 been released as a charity single. All of this outstanding work and achievement has only been possible because of the exceptional efforts of our teachin8 and support Staff. The Governors are both grateful to them all and full of admiration for the work they have done in the past yeor. Kin¢s Hawford Once again, the Kin¢s Hawford children made us proud over the course of the past academic year.

PENSION SCHEMES Retirement benefits to employees of the School are provided throu8h two defined benefit sthemes and one defined contribution Scheme, which are funded by the School's and employee contributions. DEFINED BENEFIT SCHEMES Teacher< Pension Scheme The School participates in the Teachers, Pension Scheme (England and Walesl 1.the TPS"} for its teachin8 Staff. The pension charge for the year includes contributions payable to the Tpsof £1,935,677 12021.. £1,859.8811 and at the year-end £Nil12021 £Nill VRS accrued in respect of contributions to thls scheme. The TPS is an unfunded multi-employer defined benefits pension scheme governed by The Teachers, Pensions Regulations 2010 las amended) and The Teachers, Pension Scheme Regulatlons 2014 las amended). Member5 contribute on a 'pay as you go" basis Wlth Contributions from members and the employer being credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benelits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament. The employer contribution rate is set by the Secretary of State following scheme valuations undertaken by the Government Actuarfs Department. The most recent actuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2016 and the Valuation Report, which was published in March 2019. confirmed that the employer contribution rate for the TPS would increase from 16.4% to 23.6% from I September 2019. Employers are also required to pay a Scheme administration levy of 0.08% giving a total employer contribution rate of 23.68%. 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 Direction5, 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 'McCloudlSarBeant case,. This case has required the courts to consider case5 regarding the implementation of the 2015 refom)s to Public Seryice Pensions including the Teachers, Pensions. On 27 June 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 Courvs 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 20ZI that it intends to proceed with a deferred choice underpin under which members will be able to choose either legacy or reformed scheme benefits in re5pert of their service during the period between l April 2015 and 31 March 2022 at the polnt they become payable. The TPS is subject to a cost cap mechanism which was put in place to protect tsxpayer5 against unforeseen changes in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 announced that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, in January 2019 announted 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 onward5. The pause was lifted in July 2020. and a consultation was launched on 24 June on proposed changes to the cost control mechanlsm followin8 a review by the Government Actuary. Following a public consultation, THE KING'S SCHOOL WORCESTER NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 the Government have accepted three key proposals recommended by the Government Actuary, and are aiming to implement these changes in time for the 2020 valuations. The 2016 cost control valuatlons have since been completed in January 2022, and the results indicated that there would be no changes to benefrts or member contributions required. The results of the cost cap valuation are not used to set the employer contribution rate. and HM Treasury has confimied that any changes to the ernployer contribution rate resulting from the 2020 valuatlons will take effect in April 2024. Until the 2020 valuation is completed it is not P055ible to conclude on any financial impact or future changes to the contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly no provision for any additional past benefit pension costs 15 included in these financial 5taternents. Independent S¢hool's Pension Scheme Deflned Benefit Until April 2020 the School operated a defined benefit 5cherne for support Staff. through Its participation in the Independent School's Pension Scheme administered by the PensionsTrust IISPENI. ISPEN is a multiomployer scheme which provides benefits to approximately 66 non-associated employers. It is not F)05sible for the School to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benefit scheme. Therefore. it accounts for the scheme as it would a defined contribution scheme and h05 charged to the Statement of Financial Activities the employers, contributions payable for the year. The scheme wos closed to new members ofstaff with effect from 31 March 2017 and was closed to future benefit accrual for all members with effect from April 2020. The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pension act 2(￿ which came into force on 30 December 2005. This together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council, set out the framework for funding defined benefit r)ccupational pension schemes in the United Kingdom. The scheme is classified a5 o "last man standing. arrangement. Therefore, the School Is potentiallv liable for other participating employers, obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme. With effect from l April 2015 the school operated only one benefit StrUttU￿ - a career average revaluated earnings ICAREI structure wtth a 1180, accrual rate. Contributions have been made to the scheme in accordance with the recommendations of the scheme's Actuary. The pension charge forthe year includes contributions payable to the ISPEN of £nil12021: £nill. At the balance Sheet date there were no12021= nil) active members of the Scheme employed by the School. In addition, the School paid contributions totallin8 £66,923 12021: £66.9231 in ￿SpeCt of the past service deficit. A full actuarial valuation for the scheme wa5 carried out with an effectlve date of 30 September 2020. This actuarial valuation was certified on 22 December 2021 and showed assets of £201.Im, liabilities of £256.3m and a deficit of £55.2m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the trustees and the participating employers have agreed that additional contributions wlll be paid. in combination from all employers, to the scheme as follows.. 49 THE KING'5 5CHOOLWORCESTER NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL sfATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022 Deficit contributlons From I September 2022 to 30April 2032 £2,687,W per annum (payable monthly and Increasing by 3% on each I September) Note that the scheme's previous valuation wa5 carried out with an effective date of 30 September 2017. This valuation showed assets of £149.4m, liabilities of £187.6m and a deficit of £38.2m. To eliminate this fundin8 shortfall, the Trustee has asked the participating employer5 to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follow5: Deficit contributions From I September 2019 to 31 August 2020 £2,387,357 per annum (payable monthly and increaslng by 3% on each I September) The recovery plan contribution5 are allocated to each participating employer in line with they estimated share of the scheme liabilities. Where the scheme is in deficit and where the employer has agreed to a deficit funding arrangement the employer ￿togniseS a Ilabllity for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the deficit contribution5 payable under the agreement that relates to the deficit.
