Giggleswick School REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS
Report of the Governors
The Governors of Giggleswick School present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2021.
Giggleswick School is an ancient foundation founded in 1512 and which received a Royal Charter from King Edward VI in 1553. The School is based in the village of Giggleswick in the Yorkshire Dales and provides education to children up to the age of 18.
Giggleswick School is a registered charity with number 1109826. The School is operated as a company limited by guarantee number 5447105, known as Giggleswick School. The Charity Commission has granted a uniting order that allows Giggleswick School (the incorporated body) and James Carr Trust, (the charitable trust that previously operated under the name of Giggleswick School) to be administered together. Giggleswick School – James Carr Trust retains most of the School’s fixed assets in the form of land and property.
The charitable object of Giggleswick School is to advance education by the provision of a day and boarding school for girls and boys in particular in or near the ancient parish of Giggleswick and by ancillary or incidental educational activities and other associated activities for the benefit of the community.
The principal activity of Giggleswick School is the provision of education.
Public benefit
In considering the aims of Giggleswick School the Board of Governors has, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, given due regard to the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission and determined that certain activities be central to the provision of education at the School and to its links with the community, these being:
-
The advancement of religion, recognising the School’s particular Church of England character
-
• Use of classrooms and extra-curricular drama, art, music and dance to advance the arts
-
Regular sporting fixtures and sharing of facilities to advance amateur sport
-
The advancement of environmental protection, conservation and improvement
-
The promotion of HM Armed Forces through an active and compulsory Combined Cadet Force and other links.
Giggleswick School is one of the principle businesses in the North Craven district of the Yorkshire Dales and makes a significant contribution to the local economy through employment and bringing new people into the area, procurement of local services and goods, provision of cultural and educational activities and housing.
The School plays a central role in the community through:
-
Building links and joint working with local schools, such as sharing teaching and counselling resources with Settle College and proactively working with local primary schools and providing resources;
-
Working in partnership with local sports clubs, schools and other groups to share Giggleswick facilities, such as the all-weather pitch, and through provision of staff to undertake coaching activities outside the School;
-
Access for the community to Giggleswick School Chapel and the Richard Whiteley Theatre, which provide worship and a programme of theatre, film and performance;
-
Community partnerships, initiatives and activities such as working with the local Rotary Club, hosting the village summer fete and supporting the Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award team.
Widening access
Giggleswick School aims to make it possible for pupils who may not normally be able to afford the full fees to benefit from attending the School by offering places at reduced cost. The School has limited resources from its permanent endowment assets to fund such reductions in fees but actively raises funds to allow more children to benefit from a Giggleswick education.

Giggleswick School REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS
In 2020/21 a total of 47 pupils (2019/20: 42) were helped by the School through means-tested bursarial help. Included in these are pupils who are also supported by the following organisations: Royal National Children's Foundation, Buttle Trust, the BMTA Trust Ltd, the Northern Counties
Children’s Benevolent Society, The Reedham Trust, Children of Heroes, and the Collinge Trust. The total financial impact of this help on the School was £504k (2020: £353k). All those families which benefited were required to submit a confidential statement of financial circumstances. These are reviewed by the Bursar and discussed with the Headmaster before a decision to grant an award is made. DRAFT
Fee remission was also granted to families serving with HM Armed Forces amounting to £99k (2020: £59k). Total bursarial assistance (including Forces bursaries) was £603k (2020: £413k). In addition, the School provided scholarships worth £731k (2020: £679k).
Achievements and performance
In the past year 406 children have been on roll at Giggleswick School, including children from more than 12 countries. The total pupil roll includes 94 children in Giggleswick Junior School and Mill House Pre-School.
This year was the second academic year of working with the impact of the Coronavirus COVID-19 and the School’s priority has continued to be a high standard of academic excellence and variety of cocurricular activities, despite the challenges presented by the pandemic. Public examinations followed an evidence-based approach and this involved a considerable effort from all staff involved. At A-Level 83% of results were A*-B, and the equivalent grades were at 93% for BTEC.
For pupils moving on to higher education the university entrance was very successful in the summer; Russell Group university uptake accounted for 70% of places, and 84% of pupils obtained their first choice university. The average UCAS score was 156 points.
At GCSE the results were that 51% achieved grades 9-7 and 97% achieved grades 9-4.
Strategic objectives
The mission statement for Giggleswick School is: “To support every child in their lifelong journey of learning so that they have the skills to lead fulfilling lives and make a valued contribution to society”.
This mission is underpinned by the values of the School – Ambition, Participation and Respect – and a vision to be a flourishing, values-driven boarding school that:
-
offers a rich breadth of education that adds value to all outcomes
-
supports the very best wellbeing of every member of our community
-
develops excellence across the curriculum.
The strategic objectives fall under the pillars of Learning, Wellbeing, and Resourcing:
Learning: Giggleswick School’s mission is supported by achieving the best academic outcomes for each individual, fostering a joy in learning and preparing children for life beyond school.
Wellbeing: Giggleswick School’s mission is supported by all members of the Giggleswick community feeling comfortable, healthy and happy and by ensuring safeguarding is the highest priority.
Resourcing: Giggleswick School’s mission is supported by a high standard of facilities, the most able staff and by financial resilience.
At the heart of our future strategic developments will be a commitment to academic excellence, an enhanced co-curriculum offering and continued investment in our facilities, in particular boarding facilities.

Giggleswick School is funded mainly through fees for tuition and boarding, donations, investment income and income from our commercial activities.
The retained deficit was £10k (2020: deficit of £764k).
As in the previous financial year, the School’s income was adversely affected by the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Despite this, income from school fees increased to £7,534k (2020: £7,109k). Fee income is stated after a fee credit of £328k which was given to parents in recognition of the closure of the campus for part of the spring term. The School was able to benefit by £156k from the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme provided by HMRC (2020: £456k). The School also realised a profit of £259k on the sale of tangible fixed assets.
Total expenditure was £8,600k (2020: £9,262k), a marked reduction in expenditure which was a result of cost-cutting measures introduced at the end of the previous financial year. Premises expenditure includes £57k incurred as a result of measures put in place to manage the risk of COVID.
The aggregate fund balances decreased by £10k to £6,724k (2020: £6,734k). These funds include restricted reserves of £735k (2019: £735k). This includes £327k (2020: £327k) of restricted reserves which are matched by investments.
Unrestricted reserves were £1,346k negative (2020: £1,469k negative). The School has invested £2,140k (2020: £2,354k) of unrestricted reserves in land and buildings meaning that free reserves are £3,486k negative (2020: £3,823k negative).
Going concern
The Board of Governors are of the view that the School remains a going concern and that the financial statements are prepared on an appropriate basis.
As at 31 August 2021 the School had consolidated net positive resources before investment gains of £35k compared to £764k (negative) in the prior year. Incoming Resources increased by 1.1% to £8,590k and Total Resources Expended decreased by 7.1% to £8,600k.

Giggleswick School REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS
The School manages its cash flow to ensure there are sufficient funds available to meet its obligations. In 2020/21 there was an increase in cash and cash equivalents of £83k (2020: increase of £429k). The bank overdraft facility is subject to annual review and the bank have indicated that they are supportive of a renewal of the facility.
Investments
Giggleswick School is fortunate in holding a number of bequests and endowments which are represented by investments. At 31 August 2021, the total value of investments was £2,500k (2020: £2,505k). At the year-end investments were held in low-risk cash holdings. DRAFT
These liquid funds underpin the operating cash requirements of the School which are provided through an overdraft facility. The aim of the investment portfolio is to maintain its value at a level which at least matches the level of overdraft facility required. The long-term investment objective is to provide funding for investment once the short-term objective is met.
The risk strategy to achieve the investment objectives is deliberately cautious and is focussed upon minimising volatility in value.
The base currency of the investment portfolio is Sterling. Cash balances are deposited with institutions with a minimum rating of A-.
The Investment Committee has selected investment managers, Sarasin and Partners LLP, to implement the agreed asset allocation strategy. The Investment Committee have responsibility for agreeing strategy, selecting managers and monitoring the investment assets. Performance is monitored against agreed market indices and, at an overall level, against both a composite benchmark and inflation. Capital may only be withdrawn from the portfolio with the approval of the full Governing Body on the advice of the Investment Committee.
Policy for holding reserves
The Board of Governors consider that reserves should be sufficient to ensure that Giggleswick School is able to meet its annual expenditure commitments from its core charitable objective of providing education by investing in the estate and maintaining excellence in standards. At 31 August 2021 the School held negative unrestricted reserves of £1,345k. The Governors are reviewing the balance sheet structure to better match liabilities and assets through releasing cash from surplus assets and pursuing a strategy to generate surpluses.
Fundraising
The School’s in-house Development Department is responsible for fundraising and is not bound by any scheme or standard. Fundraising activities are reported to the Governors through the Headmaster’s report. No complaints have been received in respect to fundraising.
Risk Management policy
The major risks to which Giggleswick School might be exposed are regularly considered by the Senior Leadership Team and by the Finance & Strategy Committee. The School’s risk register is maintained and reviewed by the Bursar. Where appropriate, steps are taken to mitigate identified risks and, if appropriate, to insure against the potential financial impact of the residual risks. The Governors consider that the necessary steps have been taken and continue to be taken to identify and mitigate major risks.
Principle strategic risks faced
The Governors consider that the key strategic risks faced by the School are related to management of cash flow, delivering a surplus on the operating position and ensuring a sustainable financial position. Alongside these risks there remains a risk of campus closure (due to the pandemic) and the associated impact upon pupil and staff welfare, pupil education and ultimately on fee income.

GOVERNORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Governors (who are also directors of Giggleswick School for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Governors’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of DRAFT the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the provisions of the charity’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES INCORPORATING CONSOLIDATED INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT for the year ended 31 August 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Giggleswick School (‘the charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (‘the group’) for the year ended 31 August 2021 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Charity Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, the Statement of Accounting Policies and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of DRAFT Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
DRAFT In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the charitable company’s affairs as at
-
Draft 31 August 2021 and of the group’s income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Governors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's or the group’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the governors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The governors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit
- the information given in the governors’ report, which includes the governors’ report and the strategic report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
10 | P a g e
Giggleswick School
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES INCORPORATING CONSOLIDATED INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT for the year ended 31 August 2021
- the strategic report and the governors’ report included within the governors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report included within the governors’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: DRAFT
-
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept; or DRAFT
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
Draft certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit
Responsibilities of governors
As explained more fully in the governors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 9, the governors (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the governors are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company and group operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable
11 | P a g e
Giggleswick School
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES INCORPORATING CONSOLIDATED INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT for the year ended 31 August 2021
company’s and the group’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company and the group for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were The Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014, Employment legislation and Health and Safety Legislation.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. DRAFT We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, DRAFT including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of other income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management, and the Finance and Strategy Committee about their own identification and Draft assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, Independent Schools Inspectorate, sample testing of other income and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) - effective 1 January 2019.
The functional currency of the School is considered to be GBP because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the School operates. DRAFT
The accounts are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting, as modified by the revaluation of investment properties and other investments.
The School is a Public Benefit Entity registered as a charity in England and Wales and a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 9 May 2005 (company number: 5447015) and registered as a charity on 1 September 2005 (charity number: 1109826). The address of the registered office is Giggleswick School, Giggleswick, Settle, North Yorkshire, BD24 0DE.
The Charity Commission has granted a uniting order that allows Giggleswick School (the incorporated body) and James Carr Trust, (the charitable trust that previously operated under the name of Giggleswick School) to be administered together. Accordingly, these accounts present the consolidated results of Giggleswick School and James Carr Trust for the year ended 31 August 2021.
GOING CONCERN
Giggleswick School’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and financial position are set out in the Report of the Governors on pages 3 to 8.
The School meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through an overdraft facility that is renewed annually. The School’s forecasts and projections, taking account of likely changes in pupil numbers, show that the School should be able to operate within the level of its current facility. The School’s discussions with its bankers indicate that they will continue the overdraft facility and no matters have been drawn to its attention to suggest that renewal may not be forthcoming on acceptable terms in the future.
The Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertainties over the School’s financial viability. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.
GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements consolidate the results of Giggleswick School and its wholly owned subsidiary Giggleswick Services Ltd (company number 3900669) using the acquisition method on a line-by-line basis. All intra-group transactions and balances between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. A separate Statement of Financial Activities for the School itself is not presented because the School has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
The School has taken advantage of the exemption available to a qualifying entity in FRS 102 from the requirement to present a charity only cash flow statement with the consolidated accounts.

Giggleswick School ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FUND ACCOUNTING
General funds, which are generated from the main school activities, are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
DRAFT Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for a particular purpose. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowed funds are those that form part of the permanent capital of the charity and must be held indefinitely. Where endowed funds are held in relation to fixed assets the depreciation is charged as allowable expenditure on the endowed funds.
INCOMING RESOURCES
All incoming resources including legacies are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income, the amount can be reliably quantified and the economic benefit is considered probable.
Donated assets and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost.
FEES AND SIMILAR INCOME
Fees receivable and charges for services and use of premises are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided. Fees receivable are stated after deducting allowances, scholarships and other remissions granted by the school, but include contributions received from Restricted Funds for Scholarship, Bursaries and other grants. Fees received in advance of education to be provided in future years under an Advance Fee Payments Scheme contract are held as interest-bearing liabilities until either taken to income in the term when used or else refunded. Investment income earned on them in the meantime, if exceeding the provision for any debt-financing costs arising under the contract, is taken to a designated fund to cover any ultimate shortfall that may arise on the Scheme.
RESOURCES EXPENDED
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, discounted to present value for longer term liabilities.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under the headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. General administrative overheads (including premises) are considered to be attributable to school activities and those other costs incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Governance costs are those incurred in meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the School and include audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the school.
ACTIVITIES
The Governors consider that the school has one activity being the education of boys and girls aged from 2 to 18 years.

Giggleswick School ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets other than land and is calculated at the following rates on a straight-line basis so as to write off the net cost less residual value of the individual assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Freehold buildings - 2% Plant and machinery - 15% Fixtures and fittings - 25% DRAFT
A full year’s depreciation is charged in the year of acquisition.
Purchases costing less than £500 are written off to expenditure in the period in which the item is acquired.
Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment where there is an indication of impairment.
INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT INCOME
Unlisted fixed asset investments are stated at cost. Other investments are re-valued annually to midmarket value. There is a recognised market for all non-cash investments held. Unrealised gains and losses on revaluation and realised gains and losses on disposal are allocated to the fund to which the investments relate.
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
Bank and building society interest is recognised on an accruals basis. All other investment income is recognised on a receipts basis.
STOCK
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
ADVANCE FEE SCHEME CREDITORS
Amounts received under the school’s Advance Fee Scheme contracts for education not yet utilised to settle school fees are recorded as deferred income and allocated as current liabilities where the education will be provided within 12 months from the reporting date and as long-term liabilities where the education will be provided in subsequent years.
PENSIONS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
The School contributes to the Pensions Trust Growth Plan for certain of its employees. This in most respects is a money purchase arrangement but does include certain guaranteed benefit elements. The Plan is a multi-employer scheme as it is not possible in the normal course of events to identify the share of the underlying assets belonging to the individual participating employers and accordingly, in accordance with FRS102, is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme with contributions being recorded as they become payable.
The School also contributes to the Aviva Pension Trust for Independent Schools (APTIS), a defined contribution pension scheme. The pension charge represents the amounts payable to APTIS for the year. The School was a member of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS) up until 31 August 2020. Under the definitions set out in FRS102, the TPS is a multi-employer pension scheme. The School is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme. Accordingly, the School has taken advantage of the exemption under FRS102 and has accounted for its contributions as if it were a defined contribution scheme.
20 | P a g e
Giggleswick School ACCOUNTING POLICIES
LEASED ASSETS AND OBLIGATIONS
Where assets are financed by leasing agreements that give rights approximating to ownership ("finance leases"), the assets are treated as if they had been purchased outright. The amount capitalised is the present value of the minimum lease payments payable during the lease term. The corresponding leasing commitments are shown as obligations to the lessor. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements, and the interest is charged to the income and expenditure account in proportion to the remaining balance outstanding.
DRAFT All other leases are “operating leases” and the annual rentals are charged to the income and expenditure account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost with the exception of investments which are held at fair value. Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with trade and other debtors. A specific provision is made for debts for which recoverability is in doubt. Cash at bank and in hand is defined as all cash held in instant access bank accounts and used as working capital. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise all creditors except social security and other taxes and provisions.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the accounting policies, trustees are required to make judgement, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future periods.
In the view of the trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year other than the provision for the pension deficit levy. The School has an obligation to pay deficit funding contributions towards the support staff defined benefit pension plan. This provision is dependent on a number of factors including discount rate, life expectancy and asset valuations. The assumptions reflect historical experience and current trends.

15. PENSION SCHEMES
AVIVA PENSION TRUST FOR INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS
The School withdrew from the Teachers’ Pension Scheme on 1[st] September 2020 and transferred its participants to the Aviva Pension Trust Independent Schools Scheme (APTIS Scheme). The APTIS scheme is a defined contribution pension scheme. It is set up as part of AVIVA’s ‘Master Trust’ – a trust-based pension arrangement managed by independent professional trustees. Giggleswick School pays contributions at the rate of 15% whilst members pay contributions of at least 7.5%.
THE PENSIONS TRUST PENSION SCHEME
Certain employees of Giggleswick School are entitled to membership of the Pension Trust Growth Plan (“the Plan”). This is a multi-employer pension plan which in most respects is a money purchase arrangement, although it does include certain guarantee elements as described below.
Contributions paid into the Plan up to and including September 2001 were converted to defined amounts of pension payable from normal retirement dates. From October 2001 contributions were invested in personal funds which have a capital guarantee, and which are converted to pension on retirement, either within the Plan or by the purchase of an annuity.
The rules of the Plan give the Trustee the power to require employers to pay additional contributions in order to ensure that the statutory funding objective under the Pensions Act 2004 is met. The statutory funding objective is that a pension scheme should have sufficient assets to meet its past service liabilities, known as Technical Provisions.
The latest formal valuation of the Plan at 30 September 2020 was performed by a professionally qualified actuary using the Projected Unit Method. The market value of the Plan’s assets at the valuation date was £799 million and the Plan’s Technical Provisions (i.e. past service liabilities) were £832.3 million. The valuation therefore revealed a shortfall of assets compared with the value of liabilities of £33.3 million, equivalent to a funding level of 96%.
Giggleswick School paid contributions at rates between 4% and 10% and totalling £98,768 during the accounting period. Members paid contributions at various rates during the accounting period. As at the balance sheet date there were 85 active members of the Plan employed by Giggleswick School. The School continues to offer membership of the Plan to its employees.
