The Governors make this assessment in respect of a period of al least one year from the date of aulhorisalion for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the group and the School have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the group's and the School's ability lo continue as a going concem. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of aceounling in preparing the financial statements. 24
NOTTINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL la company limited by guarantee} NOTES RELATING TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Year ended 31 August 2022 Accounting policies (continued) Funds The School's Funds are split into three categories.. unreslricled funds (including designated funds}. reslricled funds and permanent endowment funds. A brief outline of the nature ot these funds is as follows.. Unreslricled fljnds may be expended al the discretion of the Govemors in furtherance of the objects of the School. If part of an unreslricled fund is earmarked for a particular purpose il is shown as a designated fund. This designation has an adminislr81ive purpose only and does not legally restrict the GovemoTS' discretion lo apply the fund. Reslricled funds are funds subject lo specffic trust as declared by the original donor(sl bul which are still within the objects of the School. The income of the restricted funds may only be exper¥Jed in accordan with the terms of the specific trust and the capltal may or may not be expended dependent upon the terms of the speafic Irusls. Permanent endowment funds are capital ftjnds where there is no power lo convert the capital into income and which must generally be held indefinitely. Certain assets can be exchanged and may be subject to depreciation or loss. Income recognition All income is included in the Statement of Financial Actwities ISOFAI when the School is legally enlilled lo the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount Can be measured reliably and il is probable that the income will be received. For donations lo be recognised, the School will have been nollfied of the amounts and the settlement dale in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performan before enlillemenl can be obtained, then the income is deferred until those conditions are fully mel or fulfilment of those conditions within the control of the School and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. Donations received for the general purposes of the School are credited lo unreslri¢led funds. Donations subject to specific wishes of the donors are credited to relevant reslricled funds or to endowed funds where the amount is required to be held as permanent capital. For legacies, enlillement is the earlier of the School being notified of an impending distribution or legacy being received. Al this point income is recognised. On occasions legacies will be notified lo the School bul it is not possible lo measure the amount lo be dislribuled. On these occasions, the legacy is Irealed as a contingent asset and dlsclosed. Fees re1vable and charges for services and use of premises are accounted for in the period in which the seNice is provided. Fees reIvable ale slated gros5 of scholarship5, bursaries and other remissions allowed by the School as detailed in the Govemors, Report. Income from Iradlng activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds foi the School. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and 18 recognised when enlillement has 0urred. Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as shares and property. 11 includes dividends and interest and rent. Where il is not practicable lo identrfy investment management costs Sncurred withln a scheme wilh reasonable accuracy, the investment income is reported net of these Costs. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend and rent income is recognised as the School's rights to receive payment isestabllshed. Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset reiVed or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received. A grant that specifies perf0mlan condilions is recognised as income when Ihe perf0mlan conditions are mel. Where a grant does not specify performance conditions il is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or 1vable. A grant received before the recognition cr(teria are satisfied is recognised as a liabilily. 25
NOTTINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL la company Ilmlted by guarantee) NOTES RELATING TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ICONTINUEDI Year ended 31 August 2022 Accounting policies Icontinuedl Deposits Deposits are charged lo students upon arrival al the School. These are refundable lo students when they leave the School unless there are unpaid fees in which case they are used to supplement the unpaid fees. They are therefore held as a creditor until the sludenl leaves the School. Expendlture recognltlon All expenditu is accounted for on an accru81s basis and has been cSassified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive oblKJalion lo transfer economic benefit ID third parties. it is probable that the Iransfer will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is ¢alegorised undet the following headings.. Cost of raising funds includes propetyexpenses Expenditure on charitabk activitS include expenses incurred in the provision of education.. and Other expendilure represents those items not falllng into the c8tegorles above. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. Support cost allocations Support costs are those which assist the work of the School bul do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governan costs and adminislralive payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the School. Where support costs cannot be directly attributsble lo particular headings they have been allocated to costs of raising funds and expenditure on charitable actNities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. Taxatlon The School is considered lo pass the lesl set out in Paragraph 1. Schedule 6 of the Finance A¢1 2010 and therefore it meets the definition ol a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly. the School is potentially exempt from tsx in respect of income and capitsl gains received within categories covered by part 11, chapter 3 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively lo charitable purposes. Tangible fixed assets The School sile. original buildings and playing fields are excluded from the fi'nanaal slalements as, in the opinion of the Governors. their written-down cost would not be material. The value of subsequent building additions and improvements is included in the financial ststemenls al cost. Tangible frAed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequenuy measured at cost net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Costs include costs directly attributsble to making the asset capable of operating as Intended. Freehold land is not depreciated. Freehold buildings are depreciated at 2Vo of cost. Until the year endin9 31 August 2000, no rteprecialion had been provided on freehold buildings. Improvements lo buildings are depreciated at 10Vo of cost. The School equipment including fixtures and fittings is caprtalised where costs exceed £2,500. Cost, less residual value. is written off over the estimated useful life of the asset by providing depreciation over three. seven or ten years in equal annual inslalmenls. Assets in the course of construdion are not depreciated until brought into use. Investment properties The School's freehold investment properties have been stated at fair value, as required by the SORP 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities". 26

Any realised and unrealised gains or losses Irom disposals and revaluations are shown within the School's Slalemenl of Financial Activities. Stock Stock is valued at the lower of cost and eslimaled selling pri less costs lo complete and sell. Provision is rnade for obsolete and slow-moving items. Loans and borrowlngs Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaCtn price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured al amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impaimienl. If an arrangement conslilutes a finan transaction il is measured al present value. Impaimiont Assets not measured al fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired al each balance sheet date. If such indication exists. the recoverable amount of the asset is eslimaled and compared lo the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities unless the asset is carried al a revalued amount where the impairrnenl loss is a revaluation decrease, Financial instruments The School has elected to apply the provisions of Secllon 11 'Basic Flnanclal Instruments, and Section 12 '0ther Financial Instrument8 Issues, of FRS 102. in full, lo all of its financial instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are Tecognised when the School becomes a party lo the contractual provisions of the instrument, and are offset only when the School currently has a legally enforceable right lo set off the recognised amounts and intends either lo sellle on a nel basis. or lo realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets Outstanding fees and otherdeblors Outstsnding fees and other debtors (including accrued income) which are receivable within one year and which do not conslltute a financing transaction are initially measured at the transaction pri and are subsequently measured al 2mortised CDSI, being the transaction price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses. A provision for impairment of outstanding fees is established when there is objective evidence that the amounts due will not be collected according to the original terms of the contract. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss for the excess of the carrying value of the outstanding fees over the present value of the future cash flows discounted using the original effective interest rate. Subsequent reversals of an impairment loss that objectively relate lo an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Financial liabilities and equity Financial instruments are classffied as liabilities and equity instruments according lo the Substan of the contractual arrangemènts entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the School after deducting all of its liabilities. Trade C di10, other creditors and accwals Trade creditors and other creditors lincluding accrualsl payable within one year that do not constitute a financing transaction are initially measured al the transaction price and subsequently measured at am0'sed cost. being the transaction price less any amounts settled. 27
NOTTINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL la company Ilmlted by guarantee) NOTES RELATING TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ICONTINUEDI Year ended 31 August 2022 Accounting policies (continued) Derecognition of financial assets and liabilities A financial asset is derecognised only when the conlraclual rights to cash flows expire or are settled, or subslanlially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred lo another party, or if some significant risks and iewards of ownership are retained bul control of the asset has transferred to another party that is ab to sell the asset in its entirely lo an unrelated third party. A financial liability {or part thereof) is decogniSed when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires. Retirement Benefit5 Retirement benefits for the leaching staff of the School are provided by the Teachers. Pension Scherne ITPSI. The TPS is an Ljnfunded scheme. Contributions lo the TPS are calculated so as to spread the cost of pensK)ns over employees, working lives with the School in such 8 way that the pension cost is a substantially level percentage of Crnt and future pensionable payroll. The contributions are determinecl by the Government Actuary on the basis of quadrennial valuations using a projected unil method. The TPS is a mulli-employer scheme bul Sufficient informaliDn is not available lo use defined benefit accounting and therefore il is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme, with the amount ¢harged to the Statement of Financial Activities being the contributions payable in the year. Differences beiween contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or piepaymenls. The School also operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its non-leaching slaff. The pension cost charged in the Slalemenl of Financial Activities is the amount of the Contributions payable for the year. DIfferenS between contributions payable for the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the Balance Sheet. Tgrmination b&ngfits The best estimate of the expenditure required to settle an obligation for termination benefits is recognised immediately as an expense when the School is demonstrably committed lo temiinaling the employment of an employee or to provide ternination benefiis. Leases An asset and corresponding liability are recognised for leasing agreements that transfer to the School substantialty all of the risks and rewards incidental lo ownership I'Finance Leases'l. Assets held undei Finance Leases are recognised as assets al the lower of the asset's fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finan lease. Lease payments are Irealed as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged lo the Slat6menl of Financial Activities so as to produ a constant periodic rale of interest on the remaining balan of the liability. Crltl¢al accountlng estimates and areas of judgement Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors. including expectations of future events that are believed lo be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The School makes eslimales and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant rlsk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities bwthin the next financial year are discussed below. Depreciation Management reviews Its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting dale, based on the expected utillty of the assets. Residual value and useful life assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and Maintenan programmes.

NOTTINGHAM HIGH SCHOOL la company limited by guarantee} NOTES RELATING TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ICONTINUEDI Year ended 31 August 2022 31 Teachers. pension scheme lcontinugd) The employer Contribution rale is sel by the Secretary of Slate following scheme valuations undertaken by the Govemmenl Actuary's Department. The most recent actuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as al 31 March 2016 and the Valuation Report. which was published in March 2019. confirmed that the employer contribution rale for the TPS would increase from 16.4Vo lo 23.6Vo from 1 Seplemkr 2019. Employers are also required lo pay a scheme adminlslrallon levy of 0.080/0 giving 8 lolal employer contribution rale of 23.680/.. 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 sel by the Department for Education prior to the ruling in the 'McCloudlSargeant case.. This case has required the courts to consider cases regarding the Smplementalion of the 2015 reforms lo Public servi Pensions including the Teachers, Pensions. On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court donied the government permission lo appeal Ihg Court of Appeal's judgment that transitional provisions introduced lo the reformed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to unlawful age discrimination. The govemmenl is respecting the Court's decision and has said il will engage fully with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member representatives to agree how the discriminations will be remedied. The govemmenl announced on 4 February 2021 that it intends lo proed with a deferred choice underpin undei which members will be able lo chwse either legacy or reformed scheme benefits in respect of their Servi during the period been 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2022 al the point they become payable. The TPS is subject lo a cost cap mechanism which was pul 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 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 case and until there is certainly about the value of pensions lo employees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020, and a consullalion was launched on 24 June on proposed changes to the cost control mechanism following a review by the Govemmenl AclLbary. Following a public consultstion, the Govemmenl have accepted three key proposals recommended by the Government Actuary, and are aiming lo implement these changes in lime for the 2020 valuations. In view of the atM)ve rulings and decisions the assumptions used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial 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. Until the cost cap mechanism revision is completed it is not possible lo conclude on any financial impact or future changes lo the contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly no provision for any additional past benefit pension Costs is included in these financial stslemenls. 32 Controlllng party The Govemors consider that the Sthool has no controlling party. 33 Relatgd party transactions During the year, the School paid expenses lo the Govemors amounting lo £11012021.. £1351. see note 13.
