PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The School maintains a Risk Management Register which És reviewed annual￿ by the Goveming Body and the Senior Leadership Team. As part of the regular review Govemors have identified seven key strategic risks: Long-temi financial viabilKty To secure its long-term financial wabilty, the School must balance the investment it rnake5 in Its staff and buildings with its funding ihe key source of which is fee income. To ensure all its 18

QUEEN ELIZABETH'S HOSPITAL (A company limited by guarantee) GOVERNORS. REPORT For the ear ended 31 Au U5t 2025 commitments are met. the School has robust managemeni processes. These include forecasting pupil numbers, detailed budgeting and cash flow projections, which are prepared bythe Senior Leadership Team and subjert to detailed scrutiny by Govemors. Progress ogainst this plan is monitored regular￿ bythe Senior Leadership Team and termty by Govemors. Afftirdability The School operates in a very competitive market with fees increasing faster than earnings. The School is conscious that the cost of private education is increasingly beyond the financial means of many farnilie5. In addition, affordability of fees. and therefore pupil numbers. could be affected by rnacro-economic factors. including the recent inflationary pressure. the introduction of VAT on tuition fees and impact of geo-political uncertainty- Recognising this, QEH looks to ensure it achieves value for money in every area of its operations. while maintaining the excellent all-round education for which it Is renowned. In addition, the School continues to seek diversification of non-fee income to increase the funding it has available for means-tested bursaries. and strentshen the financial strength of the School in order to provide financial support 10 even more families than it currently doe5. Safety and security of puplls. staff and premlses The School aims to prowde a safe and secure envtronment to safeguard and promote the wellbeing of pupils. staff and visitors, and to prevent reputational risk. To do this it has in place detailed policies antj procedures in the area5 of Safeguarding children (including from the risk of abuse of children by adults or from child•on-child abuse). anti-bullying health and safety, physical security. cyber-security, wellbeingand critical incident management. These policies are regularly reviewed by Governors and against change5 to key legislation. Staff and pupils are provided wth detailed trainin& as appropriate, to ensure these policies are adhered to across the School. In particular. staff and Governors undertake regular comprehensive safeguarding training. The School employs Q'ointty with one other independent schools in Bristol) a full.time Health and Safety Officer who. in conjunrtion with the Head of Eststes and Maintenance Supervisor, carries out regular inspertions of the School buildings and maintains various departmental risk assessments. Government policy There is a risk that further changes to government policy would have a significant impact on the School's ability to operate. and links Close￿ with another key strategic risk of affordability. This in turn could have a large impact on the demand for places, and therefore on fee income. QEH mitigates this risk by regularly remewing its reserves policy, by preparing long-ter forecasts, which include scenario planning in the event of changes in policy. Recruitment and retention of key staff The School relies on its ability to recruir and retain high quality staff to carry out its charitsble activities and achieve its objectives. The general shortage of labour in the current economic environment increases the risk of not achieving this objective. To achieve this the School provides a comprehensive range of financial and non-financial benefits to stsff. including 19

The Valuation Report shows notional assets of £222.2bn and liabilities of £262bn, resulting in a scheme deficit of £39.8bn. The employer contribution rate for the TPS is 28.6%. and employers are also required to pay a scheme administration levy of 0.08% giving a total employer contribution rate of 28.68%.

The scheme is a defined benefit scheme in the UK. It is not possible for the company to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for the scheme as a defined benefit scheme.

This. together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Artuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council. set out the framework for funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK. The scheme is classified as a 'last-man Stsnding arrangemenv. Therefore the company is potentially liable for other participating employer5. obligations rf those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the 5(heme. Participating employers are legally required to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme. A full artuarial valuation for the scheme was carried out at 30 September 2023. This valuation showed assets of £514.9m. liabilities of £531.Om and a deficit of £16.Im.
