historical cost or transaction value Unle￿ othemise Stated in the relevant accounting policy
n￿e8.
The preparation of financial statements in corfiimrty with FRS 102 requires management to
make judgements. estimates and assumptions th81 affect the aPpI￿OI10n of policies and
rewted amounts of assets and liabilities. ineom arKI expenses. The esllmates and
associated assumptions are based on histor￿1 experience and var￿8 olher factors that are
believed lo be reasonab￿ under the cjrcumslances. th8 results of which form the basis of
making the judgements a￿)ut carying values of assets and liabilities that are not readity

The actfvities of Smalk¥ood Manor Preparatory School Limited have been transferrgj tr)

Smallwood Manor Preparatory School Limrted and its trading subsldiary Smal￿￿￿d Manor
Enterprises Limited, will commence the necessary stsp$ to undertake a voluntary winding up
of the ￿ ¢ompanigs. As th8 tsvo cornpaniey ceased trading on 31st August 2021 and have
transferred activities to D8nstone Col*e, the financkil statements have been prepared on

certain bu8ine88 a8sets lexcluding the school land ond building5, which were sokl to a third
party on 13 September 20211 to be grf1￿1 to Denslone Colleg8,
Given that all the assets (excluding the 8chts)I land and buildings) of the compani8s wll be
grfted to Denstone College, there will not be any impact on the reported flnancial results and
balances as at 31 August 2021. the main imp￿1 has been in the provision ol additional
disclosure.
The direetors consider that the preparation of the financial stalement8 on a non-g)ing conlxm
basis that refiects the transfer of the trade of the Charitab￿ company. and certain busines8
assels lexcluding the school lond and buildMig8} to be grfied to Denslone College is the
appropriat8 basis.

regarding th8 Implementat￿ of t￿ 2015 refoms to Public Service Penwcms includirKJ the

On 27 June 2019 the sUpr￿e Court denied the govemment pennis8ion to appeal the Ccdjrt of
Appeal'sjudgmenl that transitional prowsions intr0dL￿ed to the reforn￿d pensh)n schemes in 2015
gave rise to unlawful ag8 discrimination. The government is respecting the Court's decisN)n and
has said (( VAII engage fully with th8 Employment Tribunal as well as empbyer and member

the governmènt on 18 July 2020, and closed to responses on 11 O¢tob¥ 2020.
The TPS is subject to a cost cap mechanSsm whlch was put in place to protect t8xpay¥s •Jainst
unforeseen changes in Schen￿ ￿$1s. The Chief Secretary to thg Trgasury, having in 2018
announced that there wwld be a review of this cost cap m&hani5m, in January 2019 announced
pause to the cost cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal's ruling in the McClou￿S?rgeanI
case and until Ih8re is certainty about Ih8v81ue of pensions lo employees frcwn April 2015 om¥ards.
The pause was lrfted in July 2020 and the govemment is prep8ring to complgts the cost ccntrol

In view of the above rulings and decisions the assumptions us8d in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial
