bul there is no room for complacency. The governing body. therefore, decided last year lo hold stati

lo a 3% increase. Health and Safety is ahvays a significant area for risk management. The risks range
from fire and damage to intiastruolure, to personal risks {mDSt notably when away fmm the campus on
trips and expeditions). The level and breadth of activity at the school is impressive and the risks
associated with all activtiies are minimised by thorough planning and risk assessment.
The goveming body is responsible for the idenlificalion and management of risks. The major risks to
which the chaty is exposed. as identified by the directors. have been reviewel and systems or
procedures have been established lo manage those risks. Detailed examination of the risks and
estsblishment of contro15 to mits.gate them is delegated to the Execulive Officers and the process is

Financlal rlsk management objectives and policies
The school uses financial instruments, other than derivatives. comprising loans, cash and other liquid
resources and various other itèms sueh as trade debtors, Creditors and finance lease a￿angements
that arise directly from operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is lo raise finance
for the group's operations.
The main issues arising from the group's financial instruments are liquidity risk and interest rab risk.
The school's directofs adopt policies for managing each of the risks and these are summarised below..
Liquidity risk- the school seeks to manage financial risk by ensurin9 sufficient liquidity is available
to meet foreseeable needs by partaking in pooled banking organised via the Woodard Corporation
Inte￿$t rale risk- the school finances ope¥alions through a mixture of retained surpluses and bank
and other borrowings. The exposLtre to interest rate ttucluab.ons is monitored closely and managed
as part ol the pooled banking organised by Ihe Woodard Corporation.
Coronavlrus Pandgmlc
It should be noted that these financial statements were compiled during the Covid 19 global pandemic
and before a vaccine was identified. Like most trustees, the governors keep under consideration the
impact of a calaslrophic event on the school's ability lo continue. but that event may come about from
many eauses and being specific about the source is not possible. The consideration of risks in the
paragraphs below is therefore reflective of a more stable environment and does not specifically look at
the pandemlc, or other similar events. but offers a wder vlew of cornrnon even15 plus a specific risk
looking al those events that could impa¢l the continuity of educalion.
GOING CONCERN
The governing body has reviewed the impact oflhe global pandemic on school opgralions and finances.
In the year lo 31st August 2021. the financjal impact was mitigated through use ofthe various elements
of support provided by the Govemment including the Coronavifus Job Retention Scheme Ilurlough
scheme). The governing body reetsgnise that the financial implications in 2020-21 brought about as 8
result of the pandemic will continue into 2021-22, and possibly beyond, and continues to rework plans
for the coming year, lo ensure the financial impact on the school continues lo be miligaled in the most
appropriate way. Having con5idefed all factors and revlewing the 8vailable evidenee, the directors have
a reasonable expe¢lalion that the company will be able to continue operating for the foreseeable fiJbJre
and the financial ststernents have been prepared on a going concern basis. Further details r&laled to
the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies on page 28.
FiifuRE PLANS
The Head and Council eonlinue to reffne the 10-year plan of development to ensure that P￿stIelde
remains one of the largest and most successful Preparatory Schools in Shropshire and beyond and a
key member of the Woodard Group of schools.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal 8ccounling policies. all of which have been applied consistently throughout the year
and in the precedlng year are..
al Basis of Accounting
The accounts of the group have been prepared under the Companies Act 2006 and in
accordance with the Statement of Rewmmended Practice for Charities I'SORP IFRS1021'1
and with applicable UK Accounllng Standards. They ale drawn up on the historical cost
accounting basis except Ihal property and share inveslmenis held as fixed assets are ¢arried
at fair value.
Prestfelde School meets the definition of a public benefit entity under Financial Reporbng
Standard IFRSI 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised al historical cost or
transaction value unle$s otherwise slated in the relevant aecounling policy notes.
The Pfeparalion of financial stslements in conformity with FRS 102 requires managernenl to
make judgemgnls, eslimales and assumptions that affect the appli¢alion of pollcies and
reported amounts of assets and liabilities. income and expenses. The eslimales and
associated assumpllons are based on historical experience and various other factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the Gircumstances. the results of which form the basis of
making the jud9emenls about carying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Further details
are provided in note 31. and in the accounting policies for depreciation of fixed assets, for
pensions and for bad debts. The financial statements are presented in sterfing 1£) and the
functional currency is sterling {£) and are presented lo the nearest £.

The a¢counis have been p￿pared on a going concern basis. The Prestfelde School Board
reviews the financial information including Statement of Financial Affairs. Cash flows. Budgets
an¢J Reforeca51s. newlproposed and current Capital Expenditure projects for the Company and
group on a lermly basis, and wnsider whether the company and group are a going concern for
a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the accounts. Depending upon the
point in the academic year the Board will review cash flow refore¢a$ts for the current year or
budgets for the forthcoming year. Following their review of the budgets and forecasts lo the
period to 31 August 2023. the dlrectors have a reasonable expectation that the company and
group has adequate resources lo continue in operational exlstence for the foreseeable lulure.
Accordingly. they eonlinue lo adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report
and Accounts.
The governing body has reviewed the impact of the global pandemic on sehool operations and
finances. During the COVID pandemic the school made use of the Governmenvs furlough
scheme to mitigate against financial impacts. All lettings during the Spring term were los18nd

in case needed. This was approved in principle with our banking provider5. Parents were given
a dlscounl on the Spring Term fees in an attempt to rgtain them into the next year. The loss in
income for fees and lettings amounted lo approximately £25k. The governing body recognise
that the financial impliealions in 2020-21 brought about as a resultof the pandemic will conlinue
into 2021-22. and possibly beyond, and conllnltes lo rework plans lor the coming year. to
ensure the financial impact on the school continues lo be miligaled in the most appropriate
way. The school's current liabilities have decreased since 2020 partly due to an increase in
fees paid in advance from parents.

a money purchase arrangement. but has sDme guarantees. As a result il is not possible or
appropriate lo identify the assets and liabilities of the scheme which are attributsble lo the
company. though. due lo the guarantees inherent in the scheme, the companies remain
potentially liable for a debt on withdrawal from the scheme. In accordan￿ with Financial

22. PENSION SCHEMES
Teachers. Penslon Scheme
The School participatss in the Teachers. Pension Schetne I"Ihe TPS.) for its teaching staff. The
pension charge for the year includes ¢onlribulions payable to the TPS of £328.39812020'.
£322.8601 and al the year-end £38.80312020 - £41.7351 was acciued in respect of contributions lo
this scheme.
The TPS is an unfunded mull¢-employer defined benefits pension scheme govemed by Th$
Teacher5. Pensions Regulations 2010 las amonded) and The Teachers. Pension Scheme
Regulations 2014 las amendedl- Members contribute on a.pay as you go. basis with contributions
from members and the employer being credited to th8 Exchequer. Retirement and other pension
benefits are paid by publiG funds provided by Parliament.
The employer contribution rate is sel by the Secretary of Slate following scheme valuations
undertaken by the Government Actuary's Department. The most recent actuarial valuatson ol the
TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2016 and the Valuation Report, which was published in Maieh
2019. confirmed that the employer contribution rale for the TPS would increase from 16.4% 10
23.6Vo from 1 September 2019. Employers a￿ also iequired lo pay a scheme adrninislration levy
of 0.08•h giving a total employer ￿ntribUtIon rate of 23.68%.
The 31 March 2016 Valuation Report was prepared In accordance with the benefits set out in the
schem¢ regulations and under the approach specified in the DireGtions, as they applied al 5 March
2019. However, the assumptions were considered and set by the Department for Education prior
lo the ruling in the'McCloudlSargeant case,. This case has required the courts to consider cases
egarding the implementation of the 2015 reforms lo Publlc Service Pensions including the
Teachers. Pensions.
On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the govemmenl permission to appeal the Court of
Appeal'8 judgment that transitional provisions introdts￿d to the reformed pension schemes in 2015
gave rise lo unlawful age discrimination. The government is respecting the Court's decision and
has Said il will engage fulty with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member
represenlalives to agree how the discriminations will be remedied. The government announced on
4 February 2021 that il intends lo proceed with a defeffed choice undeipin under which members
will be able lo choose either legacy or reformed scheme benefits in respect of their seNtce during
the period be￿een l April 2015 and 31 Mareh 2022 al the point they become payable.
The TPS is subject to a cost cap mechanism which was put in place to protect 12xpayers against
unforeseen changes in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary lo the TreasLJry, having in 2018
announced that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, in January 2019 announced
a pause lo the cost cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal's ruling in the Mccloudlsargeanl
trase and until there is certainty about the value of pensions lo employees from April 2015
onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020, and a consvllalion was launched on 24 June on
proposed changes lo the cost control mechanism following a review by the GovernrnentAcluary.
Following a public consultation. the Government have accepted IhTee key proposals
recommended by the Govemmenl Actuary. and are aiming to implemonl these changes in lime for
the 2020 valuations.
In view of the above rulings and decisions the assumptions used in the 31 March 2016 A¢luarial
Valuation may become inappropriate. In this scenario, a valuation prepared In accordance with
revised benefits and suitably revised assumptions would yield different results than those
contained in the Actuarial Valuation.

22. PENSION SCHEMES - Continued
Until the cost cap mechanism revision is completed il is not possible lo 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.
TPT Retirement SoluUons- The Growth Plan
The company participates in the seheme, a mulliwemployer scheme which provides beneffts lo some
950 non-associaled participating employe￿. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK. 11
is not possible for the company to obtain sufficient information lo enable it to account foi the scheme
as a defined benefit scheme. Therefore it accounts for the scheme as a defined ¢ontribullon s¢heme.
The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined In the Penslons Act 2004 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 Report¢ng CoLFncil, set out the framework for
funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK.
The scherne is classified as a'lasl-man stsnding arrangemenv. Therefore the company is polenlialty
liable for other participating employers, obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share
of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Parttcipaling employers are legalty
required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdraw21 from

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.
