The charity has tsken adw4ntage of the exempiion avaiknble to a qualifying entity in FRS 102 from the requirement

ALLOCATION OF THE GROUP'S NET ASSM (tontiDued)
The land and buildkng5 fornitn8 the Daunt5ey's SclM)ol cstate is a mixture of endowed land and buildings identified
in the Charity Commission scheme dated 2(M16 and dating back to 1893. and other land and buildings Acquired by
th¢ S¢hool from unr¢stri¢ied $￿IplUS¢S lo¥n finath¢¢ over the yeats.
The School has developed various buildings on the site, 8nd this h8s r¢sult¢d in new builds and exlensions 5pannin8
both the endowed arhd unrestricted p)rtions of ihe esiate. As the Governors would not fore5ce a p051tion wherc any
of the properties the main s¢hcol $ii¢ would b¢ sold, any allocation between unrestricted and endtsived property
is meaningless in the overall strthtegy of ihc School. As approximaiion, the lathd and buhldin8s currently
occupying the 0ri8inal cndowcd site are circa 45Y• of larMI and building$ £22.471.079 as dis¢los¢d in Dote 9.
