Introduction from the Headmaster
The 2021-22 academic year marked, eventually, a retum to a great deal of normality for which we
had hoped for a considerable time, but there wa5 much that had to hapFen before we reached
that point.
The year started in an uptEat manner, freed from many of the pandemic-related constraints
pla￿d upon us before the summer.. no more online learning; fewer masks in classroom5; the end
of spaced dining arrangements. There was no laxity, but the students and staff were able to
breathe more easily and enjoy a much more natural school experien￿. 5eptemLEr also saw us
welcome a record number of new students to the School - 110 in total- as we continued to
attract more families to Wellingborough. The School was caught up as much as the rest of the
country in the ernergen￿ of the Omicron variant of Covid in the winter. Most students and staff
were absent at some point but, as ever, the collective will to overcome adversity Saw us through.
During the Michaelmas Term, the School's confidence and desire to progress was encapsulated by
the publication of its latest five-year Development Plan. This set out a number of bold and
stretthing tsrgets, and allowed Wellingborough to re-a￿cUIate its core values of Ex￿llence,
Independe￿, Empathyi Dynamism and Inclusivity. The Schcx)l also began a strategic
masterplanning exercise, Project Copernicus, working alongside Pick Everard to reimagine the site
through the next three decades. The plan itself was published in late 2022 and demonstrates how
the School intends to develop a numtrer of its facilities whilst retsining what works and maintaining
what IS treasured.
The School did not, however, need Copernicus to kickstart its building prcgramme. Students of all
ages became used to the scaffolding that accompanied the building of the Sixth Form Centre that
came into SeN1￿ in the autumn of 2022, and the whole School community were already aware of
the plans for a year-round Nursery and had received the news that the next projett would be a
new Technology Centre. This accompanied a significant renovation of the Upper Prep Hall, made
possible by a signifiont bequest by former teacher Mickey Prall.
Project Chrysalis, the restrutture of the School, was now well embedded but the spark it ignited
continued to deliver new developments. Every year group in the Senior School had now seen
changes to its curriculum, most notably Year g, where the mini-options system was introduced in
septernt￿r. The pupils, appreciation of this latest innovation was universal, acknowledging as it did
their ability to tske ownership of a significant proportion of their subjects and to focus more on
disciplines which they enjoyed. In the Prep Sthool, the launch of the Intemational Primary
Curriculum and the International Early Years Curriculum was a resounding success. The pupils
thrived within a system that enabled them to make links within their learning and to be far more
explorative, creating a far greater degree of independence and generating a renewed love of
leaming.
The Schix)I felt that it was coming through the pandemic in g()cKI shape and had not allowed Covid
to hinder its prcxJress. This was put to the test in March, when Wellingborough welcomed an ISI
Inspection Team. As well as finding the School compliant in all regulatory matters, the Inspectors
delivered a verdirt of Ex￿lIent- the highest wssible judgment- in both areas of the Education
Quality Inspection.. pupils, academic and other achievements, and pupils, personal development.
This was the first time in our history that the Schwl had re￿iVed such praise, and acted as
vindication of all that it had done Sin￿ the previous Similar inspection in 2014. Importantly, the
School recognised itself in the final report and was proud that what we hold dear was Wltnessed
and evidenced by ISI.
By Easter, almost all aspects of School life were able to take pla￿ again, making the Trinity term
the busiest it had been for three years. Sport had been up and running for some time, and by the
end of the year over 600 students in Years 3 and atK)ve had represented the Sch¢y)I; large scale
Page I

music events were not far behind, with both the Rock, Pop and Blues Evening and the Spring
cOn￿rt able to return. the summer saw Year 6 end the year with their Drama Festival, following
on from public performances across the Prep School, and Years 7 to 9 showcased 'Treasure
Island,; Duke of Edinburgh qualifying expeditions took Pla￿ at Gold, Silver and Bronze level; and
there were trips galore including to Norfolk and Oxfordshire for Prep pupils and the opportunity for
both Year 9 and 10 pupils to visit the First World War Battlefields.
Years 13 and 11 sat public exams for the first time Sin￿ 2019, benefiting from all of the support
put in place across the previous I￿0 years. At A level, students achieved record results with 250/0
of grades at A* and a IOOO/o pass rate. University destinations Stretched from Newcastle to Exeter,
Belfast to Norwich, to undertake courses from Accountancy to Yacht Design. other students were
able to tske up high quality apprenticeships or confirm their pla￿ in the workforce. At GCSE, 54 %
of results were at Grades 9-7 and 980/0 at Grades 9-4 (both of which represent records in an
exam-based year), a hugely impressive haul which allowed the vast majority of pupils to gain entry
to their preferred courses.
The ripples from Covid will undoubtedly continue to affect schools and studer)ts' Wellinglx)rough is
not compla￿nt and is acutely aware of needing to maintain the excellen￿ of its pastoral care in
order to underpin the progress made by the children in its care. It Is, however, buoyant and
vibrant, alive to the opportunities that exist and how to ensure that its students are able to
capitalise on them. The Schwl has made great strides in the most extraordinary of circUmstan￿S
and is ready to develop even further in the coming years.

Review of Achievements and performan￿ for the Year
Project HERMES
In January 2021, the Board detemined to achieve greater Trrtainty in the School's financial
planning by removing the threat of future Government-imposed rises in TPS employer (E'er)
contributions. To achieve this, Projett HERMES was consultstion with staff on a potential
withdrawal from the TPS and consideration of FM)ssib5e alternative options.
Consultation concluded in September 2021, as a result of which TPS became a closed pension
scheme at Wellingborough School from 31 December 2021. The School has estsblished an
altemative defined contribution (DC) scheme to run alongside the TPS, and all staff joining after I
January 2022 are placed on the DC scheme and have no right of access to the Trs. All legacy
staff have the choice bel￿een continued membership of the TPS or membership of the DC
scheme.
HERMES was always a risk-elimination exercise - not a cost-saving measure - and the School
maintains the current level of total E'er contributions into an alternative scheme. In order to
further adhere to the principle of risk mitigation, the Board also decided that the School would
consult with legacy stsff over complete withdrawal from TPS when any one of the following trigger
conditions 15 met:
Any rise in TPS E'er contributions is announced, and before they become effective
Financial rEnalties associated with TPS membership status emerge as a likely risk

Developments
Having postponed all capital developments during the COVED lockdown, the School resumed
planned projects. This included the refurbishment of the Upper Prep Hall, and the construction of
the new 6th Form Centre, both of which were completed in late 2022.
Project COPERNICUS
In late 2021, the Board undertook a review of the estate in order to identify how best to develop

the site for the future. The principal consideration was the physical manifestations to SUPFK)rt
future ways of teaching and learning, but other factors included better optimising the balan
between the'town, and 'field' areas, improving vehicular a￿ss, allowing the School to better play
its part as a member of the community, and achieving a sustainable net zero carbon footprint.
The work was wrdpped into a master planning exercise under the title Project Coperniajs, which
set out a ststement of strategic intent of how assets will be delivered trj enhan￿ teaching and
learning, and to underpin the School's vision. The purpose of this master planning exercise was
to:
Frame the vision and provide a commonly understcth pathway rooted within the ethos of
the School that maintains a sense of direLtion, no matter how long the journey might be,.
Deliver clarity and context. to Sequen￿ and prioritise redevelopment along the pathway
and prevent incrementsl adhocdevelopment;
Focus and inform robust financial planning;
Demonstrate to stakeholders the longer-term ambitions for the School; and
Provide support to planning applications and provide focus for fundraising
The result of this work is a protx)sal that preserve5 and enhan￿S the best of welling￿)roUgh
School whilst also adopting a strategic approach to developing the facilities. The n&d to sustain
current operations whilst delivering Project Copernicus means it will be phased, broadly as follows:

Pay 22
In February 2022, the School undertook a review to modernise its pay structures frjr teaching
Staff, and to create a framework for wage progression under'Pay 22,. Pay 22 was implemented in
full in September 2022, and resulted in:
The creation of a totsl pay and benefit M(￿e1 for articulating teacher remuneration at
Wellingborough School.
Separating responsibility allowances (RAS) into 'managemenY RAS and 'other' RAS;
The creation of a new middle-management pay scale which incorporates those

ISI Inspertion
The School was inspected in March 2022 by the Independent School Inspectorate (ISI). The
findings were-
Quality of pupils, academic and other achievements.. EX￿lIent
Quality of pupils, personal development.. Excellent
Complian￿. Compliant in all areas
Prinapal Risks and un￿rtaIntieS
The Governors have considered the risks and uncertainties that the Charity is exposed to in the
ordinary course of fulfilling its objectives, and the Business Risk Management Model was updated
and amended by the Board throughout the year. Adequate review systems have been estabSished
which, under normal conditions, should allow these risks to be mitigated to an acceptsble level in
day-to-day operations. RIS￿ previously identified continue to be reviewed by the Board and Sub-
Committees on a rolling programme throughout the year.
The principal risks faang the Charity (summari5￿￿ within the Business Risk Management Mcdel)
are:
Inability to adapt, at pace and with agilty, to an evolving hinterland (political,
environmentsl, financial, etc)
Invalid business planning assumptions and controls
Loss of competencies in key staff or Board members
Lack of appropriate educational and safeguarding procedural contro15
Legislative and regulatory Complian￿ failures
Failure to meet charitsble obligations, induding those relating to public tEnefit
Ensuring an appropriate balanTr of skills and knowledge within the Governing Body
A combination risk- a number of operational risks being realised within a period of time
which in tum generates a strategic shock
Key controls used to mitigate principal risks include formal agendas for all Committee and Board
meetings, detailed terms of referen￿ for all committ￿, comprehensive forward planning,
budgeting & management accountingi measurement of performan￿ against pertinent KPIS,
vetting Pro￿dureS as required by law for the protection of the vulnerable and adequate &
appropriate training for Governors and key staff.

(2021: £18,160).
The Governors are satisfied with the financial results disclosed in view of the continuing
challenging economic times; they remain sensitive to the affordability of fees and the continuing
control of expenditure.
Reserves Policy
It is the poliq of the Charity to hold reserves in its capital account and speaal reserve account
that have not yet been committed or designated for any particular purpose. The Governors have
set aside these reserves to protect the future operations of the Charity from the effects of any
unforeseen variations in its income streams as part of a policy of good financial management
practi￿.
At 31 August 2022 the amount of these reserves in capital account and speaal reserve account
amounted to £16,910,882, and £479,642 respectively {2021: £16,100,847 and £479,642).
The capital account figure incorporates the tsngible fixed assets of the School (less the
endowment land and assets held within restricted funds) and includes the revaluation reseNe
figure of £6,609,065 (2021.. £6,609,065).
While it is the Governors, intent to increase the value of the School's investment holdings, there is
also a strategic intent to continue to invest in and enhan￿ the School's facilities and reSoUr￿s.
The Governors aim to achieve this through an on-going programme of capital investment, which
inevitably is achieved at the expense of creating fr￿ reserves. The Governors, desired intent to
continue to invest in School facilities will therefore be balanced against the desire to increase the
value of liquid funds held by the School.
Aside from specific reserves for distintt projects, it IS the Governors, intention to build suffiaent
free cash or near-cash reserves to cover stsff costs for one term. The policy has been estsblished
at this level due to the nature of the underlying employment contracts.
It is the Governors, intent to generate an annual investment surplus (defined as the surplus on
unrestritted funds before depreciation but excluding the profit or loss on the disposal of fixed
assets) in excess of 10 % of net income. This year the investment surplus was 11.3010 (2021:
Fundraising Standards
The Governors recognise the importance of meeting the highest standards of Practi￿ and care in
relation to fundraising activities. The school keeps donors informed about fundraising activities
through regular communication. All fundraising activity is carried out by school staff, who all have

received training on fundraising standards. No complaints have been received.
The school only raises funds from past studentsi parents, staff and those with a personal
connection with the schwl and does not undertake fundraising campaigns to members of the
public.
Investment Powers, Policy and Portfolio
The investment powers specified in the governing instrument allow the Governors to deposit or
invest in any manner (but to invest only after obtaining advice from a finanaal expert and having
regard to the suitability of investments and the nttd for diversification). The Governors receive
termly utxjates from the Investment Managers and meet with them to review perf0rrnan￿ on (at
least) an annual basis. Portfolio metrics and investment class allocation, performan￿ and other
data is also available via the Investment Managers secure online portal.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members and Governors of
Wellingborough School
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of WellingtJ)rough School fr)r the year
ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the Conso5idated Statement of Financial Activities, the
Consolidated Income and Expenditure Account, the Consolidated and Charitsble Company Balance
Sheets, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including
a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial repo￿ng framework that has been
applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including
Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally AC￿pted Accounting Practi￿).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the group'5 and of the parent charitable company's
affairs as at 31 August 2022 and of the group's and parent charitsble company's net
movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, for the year then ended.
have been properly prepared in accordan￿ with United Kingdom Generally Ac￿pte(l
Accounting PraCtI￿- and
have b￿n prepared in accordan￿ with the requirements of the Companies Att 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordanTr with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UK))
and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further desJib& in the
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are
Independent of the group in accordan￿ with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our
audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have
fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordan￿ with these requirements. We believe that
the audit eviden￿ we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial ststements, we have concluded that the trust￿, use of the going
concem basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material Un￿rtaIntieS relating
to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's
ability to continue as a going con￿rn for a period of at least twelve months from when the
financial stBtements are authorised for issue,
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respett to going con￿rn are
describ&l in the relevant settions of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information induded in the Introduttion from the Headmaster and the Tru5tees' Report. Our
opinion on the finanaal ststements does not cover the other information and, ex￿pt to the extent
otherwise explicitly stated in our report we do not express any form of assurance conclusion
thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
Page 14

WELLINGBOROUGH SCHOOL
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other infomiation is materially inconslstent with
the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appea￿ to be
materially misstated. If we identify such material Inconsistenci￿ or apparent material
mi5Statements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the
financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we
have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we
are required to report that fatt. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
the information given in the Trustees, Report (which indudes the strategic report and the
directors, report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which
the financial ststements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. and
the strategic report and the directors, report included within the Trustees, Rewrt have
been prepared in accordan￿ with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company
and its environment abtained in the course af the audit, we have not identified material
misststements in the Trustees, Report (which incorwrates the strategic report and the directors,
retX>rt).
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies
Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company. or
the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the
accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the infomation and explanabons we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 7, the trustees
(who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law} are
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a
true and fair view, and ft)r such internal control as the trustees detemiine is ne￿Sary to enable
the preparation of finanaal statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and
the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going cOn￿rn, disdosing, as applicable,
matters related to going con￿rn and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
trust&s either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitsble company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do 50.
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial ststements 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 assuran￿, 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 materlal if, irnlividually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably iR expected to
Influen￿ 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 Pro￿dureS in line with our reswnsibilities, outlined above, to detect material
misstatements in respett of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are
capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in which it operates, we identified
that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the independent
school regulations, safeguarding regulations, health and safety requirements, GDPR, employment
law and charity law and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material
effect on the finanaal statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a
direct impact on the preparation of the finanaal statements such as the Charities Act 2011 and
Companies Att 2006 and consider other factors such as payroll tax.
We evaluated managemenvs incentives and opportunities for frnudulent manipulation of the
financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the prinapal
risks were related to the improper recognition of revenue and management bias in accounting
estimates. Audit pr￿dureS performed by the engagement team induded:
Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tsx authorities,.
Discussions Wlth management including consideration of known or suspected instances of
non-complian￿ with laws and regulation and fraud,.
Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
Identifying and testing journals, in particular joumal entries Posted at the year end; and
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their critical accounting
estimates.
Because of the inherent limitstions of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all
irregularitie5, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or
non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or
regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we
will be less likely to become aware of instan￿5 of non-complian￿. The risk is also greater
regarding irregularities fxcurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional
concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentstion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on
the Financial Reporting Council's website at- ww

nsibilities. This
description forms part of our auditorfs report.
Use of our report
This reprt is made soSely to the charitsble company's memters, as a bodyi in accordance with
Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we
might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them
in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not
ccept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitsble
company's members, as a body, for our audit worK for this report, or for the opinions we have
formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
Notes to the Financial Statements
l. Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in accordan￿ with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement
of Recommended practi￿ applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordan￿ with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) - Seo)nd
edition, effective l January 2019.
The functional currency of the School is considered to be GBP because that is the cU￿encY of the
primary economic environment in which the School operates.
The School has taken advantage of the exemption available to a qualifying entity in FRS 102 from
the requirement to present a charity only Cash Flow Statement with the consolidated financial
statements.
The School is a Public Benefit Entity registered as a charity in England and Wales and a company
limited by guarantee (company number: 04931009 and charity number: 1101485).
Basis of Preparation
The accounts present the consolidated statement of financial activities (SOFA), the consolidated
statement of cash flows and the consolidated and School ￿lance sheets comprising the
consolidation of the School and with its wholly owned subsidiary Wellingix)rough School Enterprise
Limited.
Going Concern
Having reviewed the funding facilTties available to the School together with the expected ongoing
demand for places and the School's future projerted cash flows, the Governors have an
expectation that the Sch()ol has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable
future and consider that there were no material ￿n￿rtaInt￿e5 over the School's financial viability.
To provide further assuran￿, the School has stres5 tested several scenarios with further downside
sensitivities, which consider the current economic effects of parental affordability calculations. The
purpose of this exercise was to further assure the going concern ststus by adjusting strategic,
operational, and financial risk mitigation strategies, whilst also ensuring the reserves tx)Iicy is frt
for purpose. Accordinglyi the Governors also continue to adopt the going concern basis in
preparing the finanaal statements as outlined in the Statement of Accounting and Reporttng
Responsibilities.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the accounting policies, Govemors are required to make judgement,
estimates, and assumptions about the carying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical
experien￿ and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from
these estimates.
The estimates and undedying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recojnised in the pericyj in which the estimate is revised if the revision
affeLts only that period or in the pericKI of the revision and future periods if the revision affected
current and future periods,
Judgements made by the Governors, in the application of these accounting policies that have
Page 23

WELLINGBOROUGH SCHOOL
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material
adjustment in the next year are deemed to be in relation to the depreciation rates of tangible fixed
assets and are discussed below.
In the view of the Govemors, no assumptions Con￿rning the future or estimation uncertainty
affecting assets or liabilities at the balan￿ sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment
to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
Fee income
Income is the total amount of income receivable on behalf of the School in the accounting year.
Fees receivable are stated after deducting scholarships and allowances granted by the Sch[￿)1.
Donations and Grants
Voluntsry income is recognised upon entitlement to the income, when re￿Ipt is probable and the
amount receivable can be measured reliably. Donations receivable for the general purposes of the
charitable company are credited to unrestricted funds. Donations for pUr￿lSe5 restricted by the
wishes of the donor are taken to restricted funds.
The relevant expenditure will be charged against the appropriate fund as it occurs.
Rental income
Rentsl income is included when receivable and represents the income generated from the rental of
the School's propety and land. All amounts receivable are committed to on-going School activitie5.
Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an accrual basis and is allrKated to expense headings on a direct
cost basis. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expense to which it
relates.
Govemance costs comprise the relevant dirett costs of running the charitsble company, including
strategic planning for its future development, also external audit, any legal advi￿ for the School's
Govemors, and all the costs complying with constitutional and statutory requirements, such as the
costs of Board and Committee meetings and of preparing statutory accounts and satisfying public
accountability.
Funds
Resources r￿1Vable are allocated to restricted funds according to the limitations on their use
specified by the donors or other providers. Funds receivable in the dirett operation of the School
are treated as unrestricted income funds. Other resources receivable without external restriction
are designated by the Govemors for particular purposes as dttmed appropriate.
Fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are ststed at cost or valuation, net of depreaation. Depreciation is calculated
so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic
life of that asset as follows..
Freehold buildings

additions or those costing below £5,000 are not capitalised. Costs relating trj freehold buildings,
infomation system and equipment, mini-buses and vehicles and the field lease have been
capitalised. The School is responsible for keeping the buildings in a fit and usable condition and
these costs are written off as incUr￿J.

The School participates in the Teachers, Pension Scheme C'the TPS,) for its teaching staff. The
pension charge for the year includes contributions payable to the TPS of £986,064 (2021..
£950,073) and at the yearend £nil (2021 £nil) was accrued in respect of contributions to this
scheme.
The TPS is an unfunded multi*mployer defined benefits pension scheme govemed by The
Teachers, Pensions Regulations 2010 (as amend￿) and The Teachers, Pension Scheme
Regulations 2014 (as amended). Memtrkrs contribute on a "pay as you go" basis with contributions
from members and the employer being credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension
enefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.
The employer contribution rate is set by the Secretary of Stste following scheme valuations
undertaken by the Govemment Actuary's 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 16.4D/D to
23.6¥0 from I SeptemtrEr 2019. Employers are also required to pay a scheme administration levy
of 0.08010 giving a total employer contribution rate of 23.68%.
The 31 March 2016 Valuation Re￿rt was prepared in accordan￿ 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 'McCloudlSargeant case,. This case has required the courts to consider cases
regarding the implementstion of the 2015 refoms to Public servi￿ Pension5 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 intrOdU￿d to the reformed pension schemes in 2015
gave rise to unlawful age discrtmination. The government is respecting the Courfs decision and
has said it will engage fully with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member
representstives to agr& how the discriminations will be remedied. The government announced on
4 February 2021 that it intends to proceed with a deferred Choi￿ underpin under which member5
will be able to choose either legacy or reformed scheme benefits in respect of their Servi￿ 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 protett taxpayers 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 annoUn￿d
a pause to the cost cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal's ruling in the Mcaoudlsargeant

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
case and until there is ￿rtaInty about the value of pensions to employees 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 fallowing a review by the Government Actuary.
Following a public consultation, the Govemment have accepted three key protx)sals recommended
by the Government Actuary and are aiming to implement these changes in time 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 rnemt￿r 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 changes to the employer contribution rate resulting from the
2020 valuations will take effect 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 costs is included in these financial statements.
Emoluments of the highest paid employees (which does not include employer pension
contributions) fell within the following ranges:

During the year, £4,750 was paid {2021- £4,500) in respect of contributions made to defined
contribution pension schemes for the above employees. One member of staff (2021.. one) has
been accruing retirement benefits under the defined contribution pension scheme and seven

Bank l¢)an
Two loans were drawn down in 2012, £700,000 for the development of sports facilities and
£600,000 for the Jubil& Entrance. Both were retkyable over the following ten years. The loan
agreements both SFecified an interest rate of 2.25010 over LIBOR plus mandatory costs.
These loans were secured by a first legal mortgage over the freehold land on which Equity House
stands, as well as the element of the develO￿d part of the site, which is not classified as
permanent endowment.
In July 2017, the outstanding balance on these loans (£682,500) was re-financed into one facility
for the remaining 5 years of the term, with a rate of 1.930/0 above base. The security schedule for
the new loan released the charge element over the freehold land on which Equity House stands.
with the developed part of the site, which is not classified as pemanent endowment remaining a5
security for the loan. The final repayment of this loan was made in July 2022.
