ST PAUL'S SCHOOL CHAIR OF GOVERIYING BODY'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 I am pleased to report that this has been a year in which the School has achieved continuing incremental increases in academic and sporting success from a very high stsrting point. On the academic fronL our pupils have achieved record succe&8 at A Level with IOO/o more A results than last year, 300/0 achieving straight A grades. Similarly the School's GCSE results reflected IOO/o more grnde 9s and stronger results across 11 subjects than last year. Pupil achievement forArt was particularly commendable: at A Level, two pupils were recognised as amongst the highest perforners in the country in Art and Design, and at GCSE four pupils commended as amongst the highe4t perforniers nationally for Art. A ￿rther two pupils were ranked amongst the highest perforniers in the county for Further Mathematicy and one pupil was the top pupil nationally for Physics. Pupils have represented the School in the fmals of a variety of Olympiads, including Astrophysics and Chemistry lo Computing and Lingui8tlC8' and five pupils secured invitations to the final of the Oxford University Computing Challenge. The real achievement for the School is to achieve these results at the same time as maintaining great succes8 across a range of Co-curricular activities. In one of their most SucCe￿ful years on record. the I st VIII won the 'QuadnJple' with victorie¥ in the Head of the Charles, the School'?i Head, th¢ National School's Regalla and the Princess Eljzabeth Challenge Cup. In Rugby, the U14 Sevens squad rea¢h¢d the final of the Rosslyn Park National Seven8 tournament. In Engineering, Firefly Racing won the Ford International Engine¢ring Award at the Greenpower Internalional Final and 8ecured a podium win and a sustainability award al the Lotus Test Track Hethel. and the Fifth Forn) won the School's first LEGO league Irophy. The School celebrated succeK8 at the annual Young Enterprise showpiece. with St Paul'8 teams winningi awards for best product category, be.81 customer service, most innovalive product and best pitch. It 18 perhapy worth reflecting on the extraordinary range of ¢ulDJral. athletic and co- curricular achievement in a school given that pupils are athnitted on academic ability a& a clear priority. Last year I noted the work on School Value￿ across the entire School, which work continues ihrough the ongoing success of the house qystem, well established enhanced PSHE tuition and a Lontinuing focu8 on the School as an integral part of the wider community in our area of London. The School continues to lay a significant emphasi8 on ils partnership work, deepening relationship¥ with partner schools. In the 2023-24 academic year, SPS worked wilh 82 partner g¢hool8 and reached 4,41 I pupils. 7,523 slaff hours were spent on partnership work, L8th pupils gave 1,600 hour8 for volunteering and 61h Forni pupils gave 348 post GCSE volunteering hours. Feedback from staff and pupils iq that this work 1% enriching for them. This ¥ummer, we included an additional residential school - the inaugyural space school in partner8hip with the Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL) at UCL. This meanl that nearly 120 YIO pupi18 acce88ed one of the three 8ummer schools. We also worked closely with three multi academy trusts (MATS) to engage 8tudent8 from areas of high deprivation across England. The three MATS (Siar, E-ACT and Lift) provided 600/0 of the places oftered on the summer 8chool8 with the rest filled with students from an open call. The connection8 between our School and St Paul's Girls, School continue to increase acroy8 all areas of co-curricular activitie8 and the majority of pupils al our School now have contact with LoUllte￿arts at the Girls, School. We are proud lo be part of the same foundation as our 8lSter school under the benign and t>UPPOrtive umbrella of the Mercers, Company working together under our new Memorandum of Understanding framework, e8tabli8hed fornlally in January 2024. This year has seen great progr￿4 on the rebuilding of the Junior School, the contours of which are very vi8ible as you enter the School. At the risk of tempting providence, we still hope that the ¢on8tru¢tion will be completed on time for next calendar year (and close to budget). l am sure that ihe Junior School pupi18 will be pleased to t>ee their new buildings available for use with their improved facilities but I am very pleased to 8ay that, as a result of the efforts of our Heathnaster and the r¢st of the team, the work of the Junior S¢hool h&q faced very little disruption. The governors and School leadership have been wrestling with the fmancial consequences of the imposition of VAT on school fees and the burden that thi.8 places on OUT parents. We are committed to working to minimise and ease this financial strain to ihe greate$t extent possible and last year saw a significant amount of work preparing for this so that. when ihe announcement was made in the summer, we were ready to announce one of the lower in¢reases in the independent school 8ector and able to give significant advance warning to ourpar¢nts. Our preparation for straightened budgets led the governors to initiate a consultation with teaching Staff on changes to the teachers. pension arrangement8 Wlth a view to constraining future pension co8ts for the School while protecting the pension position of our teachers lo the grealest extent possible. Thi8 process has now concluded successfully and I would like to thank the teachers who participated in the consuliation process.

ST PAUL?S SCHOOL CHAIR OF GOVERNING BODYgS STATEMEIYT (eonthilled) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 The result of this and oiher initiativeg during this past year is to try to position the School in as strong a po8ilion as possible to mitigate Ihe further cost pressures as Ihe nel cost of V AT to the School incieaqes in coniing years. We are colliiniiied to lrying to maximise acces% to tlie School for pupils and poientiul pupils and lo lrying to ensure that as many as possible of our exisling pupil4 ¢an complete th¢ir educalioll at our School. We remain committed io our biirsary provibion, based around voluntary support, as well a.q our partner811ip provi.8ion. As always, the achievenienls of the past year have rested on the leadership and hard work of our High Master and senior lead¢i'%, as well as the continiiing commilment of tlie leaching and support stafl to the succ¢&8 of the School. The governors are very aware Ihat all .81aff regularly tliai extra mile for tlie pupils with good grac¢ and enthusiasm. 11 is the extra effort that makes the differ¢n¢¢ between a good scliool aiid greai school, Richard Ca88ell Chair of Governors 4 December 2024

RISK MANAGEMENT The Governing Body is responsible for identifymg and addressing riyks. Governors are aware of the need for prudent fmancial management, following the re-building of the 8enior school and ongoing construction of the new SPJ buildings. The School has introduced a new teaching staff pay spine for new joiners and worked with 8taff on new pension arrangements to control future statying c08t8. We have also modelled plans for the introduction of VAT on school fees and los¥ of charitsble bu8in¢ss rates relief. Plans to e8tsblish new commercial income sireams continue to be d¢velop¢d, and on site lettings have grown tsignificantly. A fornial review of the School's risk management controls 18 perforn]ed annually but risk management iy at the heart of all decision making. The Governors and executive stsff regularly review and update procedure5 in order to identify and mitigate risks. It is re¢o8nised that systems can only provide reasonable but not abyolute a88urance that major risks have been adequately managed, FllYANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR The financial results are presented on pages 22 - 44 of this report. During the year there was a net incrcase in fund8 of £2,817,000 {2023.. £1,758,000) bringing the total fijnds to £127,664,000 at 31 August 2024 (2023.. £124,847,000). In addition to the School's operational surplus the main reasons for the increase in funds for the year were bursary donation¥, bank interest, investment income and net ¥ain8 on investments. The School's main income is from fees. The total income of £49,100,000 (2023.. £46,316,000) consists of unrestricted income of £46,788,000 (2023: £42,839,000), restricted income of £1.674,000 (2023: £2,893,000) and endowed income of £638,000 (2023: £584,000). The restricted income fLmded bursaries, scholarships and prizes. The unrestricted income, in addition to fees, includes bank interest, investment income, trading income, donations and legacies and other categorie8 such as rents received. Within total expenditure of £50,411,000 (2023: £44,184,01)O), educational costs were the I￿gest category of expenditure at £27,150,000 (2023: £24,249,000) followed by premises costs at £8,887,000 (2023.. £8,516,000). The School's fllwlces continued to be monitor￿ very closely during the year and remain in a strong position. The unrestricted net income for the year before invcstrnent gains and transfers reduced from £1,886.000 to £172,000 but this was due primarily to some significant one-off items of expenditure including the initiation of the wind up of the sUPPOrt Staff der￿ed b¢n¢fit pension scheme and legal and professional fees associated with th¢ consultation proc¢ss on the Teachers, Pension Scheme. li

ST PAULgS SCHOOL GOVERNORS? REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 STRATEGIC REPORT (eontlnued) FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR (contlnued) Reserves Pollcy The fimds at the year-end totalled £127,664,(K)0 (2023: £124,847,000) which included £115,474,000 of unrestricted fimds (2023: £112,900,000), £5,786,000 of restricted funds (2023: £6,654,000) and £6,404,000 of endowed funds (2023: £5293,000). The Trustees have set a reserves policy which requires: a re￿rve of £5million to be maintained, beparately from the School's working capital, to ensure the School can continue to pay salaries and ¢r¢ditor8 for three months with no additional income. a reserve to cover th¢ cash required by the budgets fonnally commit*d to the rebuilding project. a contribution of £2.048,000 as at 31 August 2024 (2023.. £1.610,000) out of the Sch(x)I's cash 8ury)lu￿8 into a designated Future Estate Capital Fund dedicated to the long-terni provision of capital to allow th¢ r¢pla¢¢ment and refurbishment of buildings and fabric of thc School estate in the long terni if needed. Thi8 annual contribution will rise to £2,260,(K)O by August 2026 and will then increase by inflation each year into the foreseeable future. a commitment to ¥et aside any remaining Gash sU￿lUse8 from each fmancial year after the above contribution to the Future Estate Capital Fund and Private Placement capital repayments towards future bursary award¥ and partnerships / public benefit work. A% at 31 August 2024, the School has negative free re8erves oF£29,332,000 after allowing for the above reservc of £5,000,000 and £2,048,000 Future E¥tate Capilal Fund contribulion which are both held in readily available cash. This reflects the Substantial investment thal the School is making. and will continue to make, in its buildings. The negative free reserves position is therefore expecled to continue for the foreseeable future. However, the School has a very strong net current a88et position of £39,660,(K)0 (2023: £43,951,000). Therefore, having assessed the School's financial position, the plans for the foreseeable future, the risks to which the School is exposed and the detailed cash projections, the Governors are satisfied that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. Inveslmeni Policy In accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Governors have the power to invest in such stocks, shares and propety 88 appropriate to meet the objectives of the Charity. The policy is for a medium ri.8k investment approach. Two investment managers, Waverton Investment Management Limited and Rathbone Investmeni Management Limited, manage the investment of the School's endowed fimds, restricted bursary funds, Kayton legacy funds and the Future E8¢ate Capital Fund with the restrictions that no funds are to be placed in the following areas: pornography, am]aments, gambling, tobacco and direct investm¢nt in fo¥sil fuel stocks. The School also continues to hold short to medium terni secure deposit accounts with UK banks. With the consent of the Finance Committe¢, the Finance Director may invest monies that will not be needed by the School at short notice. InvesthienL8 are reported at every Finance Committee meeting. The policy is reviewed annually to ensure it rernains in line with the School's objective8 and prevailing economic conditions. Investment Performance against Objectives The market value of the School's investments at the end of the year was £28.362,000 (2023: £21,874,000). The School'8 investments are mainly in equities and funds. The value of the portfolios held with Waverton Invcstment Management Limited and Rathbone Investment Management Limited have increased by 20.920/0 and 12.94 % respectively in capital ternL8. The difference in perfonnan¢e reflects the different mandate for each investment manager. Thi¥ perfonnaThce is 8ignifi¢antly above the benchnwks of CPI plus 4.500/0 for Waverton and CPI plus 3.OOQ/o for Rathbones but consistent with prevailing mark¢t conditions during the year. FMndra¥s¥ng Practice This 2023124 academic year was the start of the £8.5 million Shaping Our Fulure.. Next Steps campaign, launched in May 2024 (quiet phase from I September 2023). The Nexi Sfeps initiative continues on from the Shaping Our Future campaign, narrowing focus on two main areas.. growth of our Founder's Awards (Widening Access) to IOO/o of our pupil cohort and St Paul's in Partnership, continuing to support the growth of our parthership model. We have raised £1.92 million to date in cash across a number of proj￿1$ (see fig.1 ). With projected income ofpledges from high-net-worth donors and regular giving across five years, our projected incom¢ is £2.8 million. 12

If, based on the work we havc perfornled, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other inforniation, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinion8 on other matters prescrlbed by the Companies Aet 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the inforniation given in the Governors, Report (which includes the strategic report and the director8, reportprepared for the pU￿oSe8 of company law) for the financial year for which the fmancial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and the strategic report and the director8, report included within the Governors, Report have beenprepared in accordance with applicable legal requirement8.

Responsibuities of Governors for the Ilnancivdl statements As explained more fully in the Governors, re8pon8ibilities Statement set out on page 18 the Governors (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the pury)oses of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the fmancial statem¢nts and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Governors deterniine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or ermr. In preparing the fmancial statements, the Governors are responsible for &qsessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basi8 of accounting unless the Governors either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to ce&8e operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor'8 respon8Abllltles for the audlt of Ihe financlal Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole arc f￿¢ from mal¢rial mi8Staternent, whether due to fraud or error, and to 188u¢ an auditor's rq)ort that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high l¢vel of a55urance, but is not a guaranlce that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always delect a mateTial misstatement when it cxists. Mi¥¥tatemenls can arise from fraud orerror and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could rcasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of uscr8 tsken on the basi8 of these financial statements. Irregularities. including fraud, are instance8 of non-compliance with laws and regulation5. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to det¢ct material misstatements in respect of iThegularities, including fraud. The cxtent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularitie8, including fraud is detAiled below: Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operat¢s, wc id¢ntified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to The Education (Independent S¢hool Standardb.) Regulations 2014, safeguarding regulations, health and safety requirements, GDPR, employment law and charity law and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial 8tatements .8uch as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2019), and con8idered other factors such a8 payroll taxes and VAT. We evaluated management's incentives and opporttmities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and detennined that the principal risks were related to improper recognition of revenue and management bias in certain accounting estimate8 and judgement8. Audit pro¢edur¢8 perfornied by the engagement team included: InsP￿tIng wrrespondence with r¢gulalor8 and t&x authorities, including the outcomes of insp¢ction8' Discussions with management including consideration of known or 8uspected instances of non-compliance with lawb and regulationy and fraud; Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; Identifying and testing journal entries, using data analytics to focus on hiEher risk entries; and Challenging a88iimptions and judgements made by management in their accounting estimates and challenge of the underlying assumptions. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk thai we will not detect all irregularitie5, including those leading to a material mi88tatement in the fllwicial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increa8e8 the more that ompliance with a law or regulation is removed from ihe events and transactions reflected in the fmancial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The ri$k is also gteater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than ermr. as fraud involves intentional concealment, Forgery, collusion, omission or mi8repre8entstion. A further description of our re$ponsibilitie8 for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at., www.frc.o .uklaiiditoisies ontryibilil1e￿ This d￿riptiOn forn]s part of our auditor's report. 20

The Scheme 18 a re¥islered Scheme under UK legislation. The scheme was established from l June 1989 under trust and is governed by the scheme's defmitive trust deed and rules dated 5 July 2001. The trustees are re8pon8ible for the operation and governance of the scheme, including making decisions regarding the scheme's funding and inv¢8¢m¢nt strategy. The trustees have insured all benefits payable from the 8cheme with an insurer. The Scheme doe8 not hold any ordinary Shares issued or property occupied by St Paul's Schools. Information about the most recent acluarlal valuatlon of the defined benefit obllgAtlon at the ac¢ounting date The most recently completed fornial actuarial valuation of the scheme was al 31 August 2020. The value of the liabilities ha5 bcen estirnated by updating the results of the a¢tuarial valuation as at 31 August 2020 to allow for the passage of time, actual inflation experience, benefits paid out of the scheme and changes in actuarial a551Jinptions over the peri(Ml from 31 August 2020 to 31 August 2024. Such an approach 18 normal for the PUTPOSe of accounting dis¢l08ures. It is not expected that these projections will be materially different from the surnmation of individual calculations at the accounting date, although there may be some discrepancy between the actual liabilitie8 for the scheme at the accounting date and those Includ￿ in the disclosures. Teaching Staff Pension Scheme The School participates in the Teachers, Pension Scheme ("the TPS"), for its teaching stsff.
