NR25 6EA GRESHAM'S SCHOOL GOVERNORS, REPORT (continued) GRESHAM'S FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 CHAIRMAN'S SUMMARY The School has faced extraordinary challenges over the course of the past 18 months but has leamed from the unprecedented situation caused by the Covid-19 pandern￿ and associated National Lockdown in Spring 2020 and adapted. Stsff, pupi15 and paren15 have shown remarkable inventiveness. fortitude and community spirit to do more over the past year, and achieve better than could possibly have been imagined gNen the incredible uncertainly leading up to and into the new academic year and the resttictive guidance and praclice5 in place to keep staff, pupils and visitors safe. Hybrid leaming, mixing online and faCe-t￿face media. or svAtching from one to another, kcame more commonpla¢e de5Plte the inevitable challenges for staff and pupils. and this underpinned Gontinuity of education in its broadest sense during the third national lockdown from the start of January until 8 MarGh 2021. Even then. the s¢hool remained open for children (generally the younger pupils) of ¢ritical worker5. Despite this. and the further disruption to exarninations in the summer. outcomes were very pleasing indeed. as best exemplified in the public examination results and university offers for our pupils. bul also as reflected in the sense ofjoy and purpose which was evident as a result of school returning more lo a sense of'normal,. despite very ¢leady not being able lo operate in what would have passed as normal pre-pandemic. 11 was especially pleasing thal we had the opportunity lo Celebrate the successes of our leavers and bid them farewell at the end of the acadeTnic year. The commendable range of sporting and co-curricular activities which were undertaken, reflected in more detail later in this report, is testament to the way in which the School community adjusted and embraced the 'new normal.. This. in turn, helped lo feed more posih'vity and a can40 attitude, whtch were critical to the school's successful perfomance over the year. Charitable and outreach a¢tNlties continued. sometimes in creative ways, to ensure that the school remained in touch with those individuals and organisations which might need more support. It has been pleasing that the main focus has been to support a Ic¢al charity. meaning that the school has been an active force for good within the local communty. Financially. the school perfomed much betterthan expected, despite discounting fees during cbsure and providing additional short-term bursary support Whe￿ required. Leading into the year. the huge uncertainly about the contsnued impact of the pandemic had led to a decision to freeze fees, despf(e rising costs. Also. the pupil roll was stronger than we might have hoped for given the diffi¢ults"es for prospective new pupils and their families in the months ahead of the new schwl year and the resutsnt delays in decision-making. combined with travel restricts'ons which might otherwise have prevented more pupils from being able to return lo school. The resolve of families to get to schcx)l. and the stsff to deliver what was required. overcame many of the potential obstacles and it seems that the school earned a deservedly good reputats.on for the way il maintained provision throughout the hardest days of the pandemic, which reinforced inte￿1 in the School and helped to sustain a strong pupil roll. To complement this, the excitement around the new Dyson STEAM building and the opportunrties it offers undoubtedly generated further interest in the School. We were very fortunate that this building was strongly supported and funded by one of ourformer pupi15. Sir James Dyson. as committing to a project of such scale without such philanthropy in the context of a global pandemic would have been unthinkable, and we are extremely grateful lo have received such generou5 and hyh-profile SUPFKJrt. This state of the art faeilty will facilitate change in the way the school delivers teaehing and learning in STEAM subjects. and staff have already embarked on exciting new activities in this regard. This work wll not on5y benefit our own pupils bul also support our ¢ommunity outreach activities, with the School having already hosted activities for the Norwch Science Fesbval in the new building. The School's better-than*xpe¢ted financial position allowed work to continue on other projects, mostty of a refurbishment nature, to ensure the facilities remain appealing and fi"1 for purpose. A signrficant devebpment project was the creation of two new Nursery classrooms In our Pre-Prep, which was Phase l of a bigger masterplan for our youngest children, Complet￿ just prior to the end of the financial year. Strategically, we aim tts build on this posltive position, to build strength and financial resilience from growih and develop facilities 2nd teaching and leaming opportunf(ies.

Gresham's School has a maintained wcK)dland of approximately 80 acres, consisting of Oak, Beech. Ash, and other native trees. which woukl sequester appr0￿matelY 152 tC02e per year over 8 100-year period IWoc¥Yland Trust, 20201. Scope 2 emissions rose marginalty, as carb)n intensity r&Juced from grid supplied eleclricty. the reopening of the school increased demand for dectrioty. Scope 1 emissions have risen during Ihis reporling period because of lower ambient lemperalures during spring 2021 and schod closure during the same period in 2020. Throughout autumn and winter 2020. the requirement for increased ventilation to reduce the transmission of the Coronavirus. resulted in ex￿siVe heat losses and increased energy consumptr"on. represents'ng a comparats've increase of 97.8 tC02e for natur81 gas. Scope 2 emissions for healing fuels and TransFQrt also rose during 2020r21. as travel restrictions eased and the school reopened. Conversely. Scope 3 eMiss￿nS reduced significanuy because of increased use of digital communicats'on and travel restrictions. Gresham's School is considering the benefits and impacts of prccuring up to 100% renewable gas and fuel 5wilchingldecarbonisalion of heab.ng through groundlair source heat pumps IGSHPIASHPI. as part of the School's move towards becoming a Net Zero xhool. The Dyson Building is the fi'rst building to have been instslled with GSHP, which has replaced the fomier 8￿)logY and English blocks12021). We are also exploring the potential for increased onsite generab.on from Solar PV, which would complement the Solar PV array installed on the Dyson and Oakeley Buildings, with an annual generation of circa 22.180 kwh pa, dIreC￿Y saving 5.2 tCO* pa equivalent of 103.4 tC02e over the 2(kyear life expectancy of the systems. In order lo gain much greater granularity of energy usage. arKI be abk to ￿entify opportunities, possible waste and provide more insighttul data in support of 'spend-to-save' measures and net carbon zero road mapping, the Schoo5 is considering whether lo replace the 17 existing gas meters for new automats"c metering wth half4)ouAy energy data, and possibly investing in sub-metering for gas. ekctriuty and heaL There is a rolling program of lighting upgrades, as IKJhting generalty accounts for around 8%-10% of total energy consumption or approximately 200k of lotal energy cost per year. Given the number of fittings across the school estate, it would be a significant cost to replace all the lighting and run the iisk of the lighting requiring replacement after 50,OOOhrs, requiring a life-cycle repla￿ment program to be considered. A combined Environmeniai and Energy Policy is being drafted, wh￿h rt is hoped wll lead to an action pL8n based on SMART objectives. As part of this. the School obtained a gold standard Eco Schoo15 Green Flag award, Ihanks to the efforts of the Senior School's Environmental Committee. 18 GRESHAM'S SCHOOL GOVERNORS, REPORT {contlnued) GRESHAM'S FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 GOVERNORS.

Employers are also required to pay a scheme administrab.on W of 0.08% giving a total employer contribub'on rate of 23.68%. The 31 March 2016 Valuation Report was prepared in accordance v*ith the benefits set out in the scheme regulations and under the approach specffied in the Directs"ons. as they applied 8t 5 March 2019. However. the assumptions were considered and set by the Department for Education prior to the ruling in the 'McCloudlSargeant ease.. This case has required the courts lo con5hder ca5e5 regarding the Imp￿Mental10n of the 2015 reforms to Public Service Pensions including the Teachers, Pensions. On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court dented the govemment pemiission to appeal the Court of Appeal's judgment that transrtK>nal provisKsns introduced lo the refomed pensKsn schemes in 2015 gave rise to unlawful age discrimination. The government 15 respecting the Courys decision and has said it will engage fully with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member representatives lo agree how the discriminations will be rerned￿￿.

The TPS is subject lo a cost cap mechanism which was pul in place to protect taxpayers against unforeseen changes in scheme costs. The Chiel 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 Mccloudlsargeant case and unb"I there is certainty about the value of pensions to employees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020. and consultstion was launched on 24 June on proF)osed changes to the cost control mechanism following review by the Govemment Actuary.

GRESHAM'S SCHOOL NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (contlnuedl GRESHAM'S FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 24. PENSION SCHEMES (contlnuedl In view of the above 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 tenefils and suitably revised assumptions would yield drfferent results than those contained in the Acbjarial Valuation. Until the cost cap mechanism review is completed it is not possible to conclude on any financial impact or future ¢hanges to the contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly no provision for any additional past benefit pension Costs is included in these financial ststements. Independent Schools, Penslon Scheme loperaled by the Penslons Trust) Non-leaching staff were eligible to ¢ontribute to The Pensions Trust's GrovAh Plan. The scheme is a multi- employer money purchase seheme wth guaranteed benefits. The School contributed al a rale of 15.7% of gross pensionable salary. The School would have 8 liability if il ceased to participate in the scheme which at 30 September 2020 was ¢al¢ulaled as £329,725. As the School currently has no plans to leave the scheme, this contingent liability has not been provided for in these accounts. It is not possible for the School to obtain sufficient informatson to enable it trj account for the scheme as a defined benefit scheme. Therefore il accounts forthe scheme as a defined contribution scheme. The scheme is subject to the funding legislation ouyined in the Pensions Acl 2004 which came into force on 30 December 2005. This, together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and Te¢hnical Actuarial Stand8rds issued by the Financial Reporting Council. set out the framework for funding defined benefft occupational pension schemes in the UK. The scheme is classified as a 'Lasl-man standing arrangement.. Therefore the company is Potentially liable for other participating employers. obligations ifthose employers are unable lo meet their share of the Scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally required to rneet their share of the scheme deficf( on an annuity purchase basis on wrthdrawal from the sth8me. A full actuarial valuation forthe scheme was carried out at 30 September2017. This valuation showed assets of £149.4m, liabilities of £187.6m and a deficit of £38.2m. To eliminate this funding shortfall, the Trustee asked the participating employers to pay addIt￿nal contributions to the scheme as follows.. D&flclt contribU￿onS From 1 September 2019 to 30 April 2030.. £2,387,000 per annum {payable monthly and increasing by 3% each on 1st September) The recovery plan contributions areall￿ated to each participating employer in line with their estimated sha of the scheme liabilities. Where the scheme is in der￿t and where the company has agreed lo a deficrf( funding arrangement the company recognises 2 liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the nel present value of the deficit reduction contributions payable under the agreemenl that relates to the deficrt. The present value is calculated using the discount rate detailed in these disclosures. The unwinding of the discount rale is r￿Ognise¢j as a ffnance cost. 47 GRESHAM'S SCHOOL NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEAIENTS (conllnuedl GRESHAM'S FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 PENSION SCHEMES (contlnuedl 2021 £000 2020 £000 Reconryliation of opening and closing womsicffis..
