HAMPTON SCHOOL – CHAIR’S REPORT – FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

It is a great pleasure to report that in this financial year Hampton Trust’s schools have continued to deliver excellent all-round education for their pupils and to build on previous years’ achievements.

Hampton is one of the leading academic schools in the UK as our summer 2024 examination results at both GCSE and A Level reveal.

The GCSE results show that: 57% of grades attained were 9s, 83% of grades were at 9-8 and 96% of grades were at 9-7. No fewer than 54 Hamptonians chalked up nine or more grade 9s, of whom 21 pupils achieved eleven or more of the very top 9 grades.

The A Level results show that: 41% of grades achieved were at A and 77% of grades were at A-A. No fewer than 46 pupils achieved three or more A*s, of whom 25 secured four of the very top grades.

These exceptional results ensure our leavers will follow their predecessors in embarking upon a broad range of prestigious degree courses at leading UK and US universities. 91% of leavers secured their place at a Russell Group, or equivalent, university. 45 Hamptonians head to global top-10 universities and 23 offers were received from Oxford and Cambridge.

Attaining academic success does not alone equip young men to go on to lead successful and fulfilling lives and so a Hampton education seeks to help each to develop a depth of character and provide life skills to equip them for a complex and rapidly changing world. Co-curricular activities are important in that regard and Hampton is one of the country’s top sporting schools with many pupils competing at regional, national and international level in a variety of sports. The focus is not only on the elite sportsmen because all pupils, no matter what their skill level may be, are encouraged to take advantage of the many opportunities offered by the schools.

Other co-curricular activities, which are also such an important part of life at the Trust’s schools, range from music and drama to clubs and societies to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme, all thrived and helped provide the widest form of education which is so important to the generating of fully rounded and grounded character development.

The Trust has continued to undertake a substantial and wide-ranging programme of partnership activities with local maintained schools and other groups. Although there is a cost associated with such activities our proper sense of social responsibility means that it has been a key part of our efforts to continue to work with and for the benefit of the local community. Two examples are tutoring of maintained sector primary school pupils and a formal partnership with a maintained sector secondary and linked sixth form college. Primary school pupils are aided by Hampton teaching staff in workshops and Saturday school programmes. The partnership between Hampton and Reach Academy/Feltham College and Lady Eleanor Holles School to support Feltham College continues. The College is a new and growing sixth form in an area where historically there had been a low percentage of pupils moving from secondary to tertiary education. Hampton provides significant individual teaching and subject support, specialist curriculum expertise, together with widening participation initiatives and enrichment opportunities. The results are pleasingly good and that partnership continues to benefit everyone involved.

The most significant area of outreach expenditure arises from our continuing aim to make Hampton as inclusive and diverse as possible and has been and continues to be the provision of bursaries for 131 pupils who could not afford full fees, of which 108 receive 100% funded places and would otherwise be educated in the maintained sector. Seventeen of those have been funded from donations from the Fitzwygram Foundation which was set up by the school some years ago but is overseen by a fully independent board.

HAMPTON SCHOOL — CHAIR’S REPORT — FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 (continued)

Hampton is mindful of the very significant property costs in the South West London area and has utilised some of its endowment funds to purchase property to provide cost effective accommodation for Hampton staff, currently 15 members of staff have been accommodated.

Hampton has been through an extended period of development of buildings and facilities at each site within the Trust to ensure that our facilities can cope with demand for places. In the year ended 31 August 2024 there were 1,333 pupils at Hampton School and 230 at its Prep & Pre-Prep. Whilst demand for places is still strong the financial pressures brought about by significant rises in cost caused in part by the pandemic and war in Ukraine the Board has concentrated on maintaining those facilities rather than on embarking on new significant building projects.

Careful financial planning has become even more important for all independent schools so that they can maintain a sensible balance between generating funds to reinvest in the schools and setting appropriate and hopefully affordable fee levels.

The financial pressures have now been increased as a result of the imposition of VAT on independent school fees, the removal of partial business rates relief and the raising of employer National Insurance contributions. One such event would present a challenge but the three together will have a significant effect on all independent schools such as Hampton. The Governing Board has consistently been financially prudent and has been planning how to fund these foreshadowed new impositions. It has and will continue to make economies but not such as will damage the educational offer. We have slowed down building/development projects and, although it greatly saddens the Trust, may have to reduce expenditure on bursaries and partnership projects. We will not remove bursaries from existing recipients but intend to honour the existing free place and bursary commitments for all current pupils because that is the right thing to do. We will have to find “efficiencies” and will therefore reduce the number of new bursary offers we make.

Whilst we face challenging times we believe, that the strong relationships between Governors, staff, pupils and parents, and the outcomes the schools can and do deliver will mean that we are in a good position to address whatever issues may arise

HAMPTON SCHOOL GOVERNORS’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

The Governors present their annual report and the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024. The Governors confirm that they comply with the requirements of the School’s governing instrument, the Companies Act 2006 (including the Directors’ and Strategic Reports), the Charities Act 2011, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019) (the Charities SORP).

1. CONSTITUTION

Hampton School (the School) is a charitable company (the Charity or the Company) limited by guarantee. It incorporates and runs two schools: Hampton School and Hampton Pre-Prep & Prep School (the Schools). The Governing Body governs both Schools. The Schools have the same Department for Education (DfE) number, 318/6071. The accounts of Hampton School Trust (the Trust) are amalgamated with those of the Company under charity number 1120005, following an order made by the Charity Commission on 17 August 2007.

The Fitzwygram Foundation (charity number 1167976, company number 1005645) is a separate charitable company limited by guarantee, with a separate Board of Trustees. The Fitzwygram Foundation prepares its own financial statements. The School is the sole Member of the Fitzwygram Foundation and it is a requirement that the financial statements of the Fitzwygram Foundation are consolidated in the Hampton School financial statements.

2. GOVERNING INSTRUMENT

The Company is governed by its Memorandum of Association dated 14 May 2007, and Articles of Association dated 28 November 2007 as amended on 3 July 2023. Governors are also guided by the Scheme of Management and Delegation, which includes Terms of Reference for the sub-committees:

The Hampton Pre-Prep & Prep Committee The Development & General Purposes Committee The Finance Committee The Remuneration & Governor Selection Committee

3. GOVERNANCE

The Governors are required to be members of the Company and are also Trustees and Directors. They are responsible for the overall management and control of the Schools and they normally meet four times per year. The work of implementing most policies is carried out by the Development & General Purposes Committee and the Finance Committee, which meet before each meeting of the full Governing Board. The Hampton Pre-Prep & Prep Committee meets at least three times per year and the Remuneration and Governor Selection Committee meets at least once per year. The Governors have continued to pay close attention to their safeguarding obligations and those of the School community in general. The Governors monitor the effectiveness of the Schools’ safeguarding policies through the receipt, discussion and review of regular reports from the Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and Deputy Designated Safeguarding Leads (DDSL’s) and the nominated safeguarding Governors. There are currently three Governors so nominated and they are available, whenever required, to advise and assist the DSL and DDSLs in exercising the Schools’ duties to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and young people.

The Chairs of the sub-committees are appointed at the first meeting every calendar year and sub-committee membership is detailed in this report.

5

HAMPTON SCHOOL GOVERNORS’ REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

3.1 Governor Recruitment and Training

The Governing Body requires breadth and depth of experience to carry out its duties effectively and efficiently. Where possible the composition should comprise the following:

One Governor may meet one or more of these requirements.

The process of appointment is set out in the Governor Selection Policy.

Following their appointment, new Governors are given a comprehensive information pack, including past Governors’ meeting minutes, financial statements, the Charitable Scheme and details of the role of a Trustee. The Clerk to the Governors provides regular information on training courses that may be helpful or relevant. Governors are encouraged to visit the Schools on a regular basis. No remuneration is paid to Governors.

3.2 Organisational Management

The Governors determine the strategy of the Trust. The day-to-day management and operation of the Schools is delegated to The Headmaster, supported by members of the senior leadership team. The Headmaster, the Bursar and selected senior staff are invited to attend full Governors’ meetings and sub-committee meetings.

The Remuneration & Governor Selection Committee meets annually in the Spring Term to consider the remuneration of the School senior staff (key management personnel), considering recommendations put forward by The Headmaster. The Committee recommends remuneration levels, which are ratified by the Governors at their meeting at the end of the Spring Term. Once ratified, senior staff remuneration levels are communicated by The Headmaster or the Bursar as appropriate. The Headmaster’s remuneration is reviewed separately on an annual basis by the Chair of the Governors, in consultation with the Remuneration & Governor Selection Committee.

4. OBJECTS AND AIMS

4.1 Objects

The objects of the Charity are to advance the education of boys and girls and in particular (but not limited to) running a day and/or boarding school or schools in or near Hampton and by ancillary or incidental educational activities and other associated activities for the benefit of the community.

4.2 Aims

The Charity provides education to boys aged 2½ to 18 and girls aged 2½ to 7 in the Schools.

In accordance with the objects, the Schools aim to provide a first-class independent education via excellent academic tuition and through developing the wider sporting, artistic, social and leadership skills of their pupils. The intention is to provide an environment in which each pupil can develop and fulfil his or her potential, thus helping to build selfconfidence and inculcating a desire to contribute to the wider community. Inextricably linked with this object is the aim of establishing partnership with local, national and international communities.

4.3 These objects and aims inform the School’s ethos and aims as published on the Hampton School website.

6

HAMPTON SCHOOL GOVERNORS’ REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

5. ACCESS

The Governors consider it extremely important to ensure that access to the education offered by the Schools is not restricted to pupils whose families can afford the fees. They believe that children benefit from learning within a diverse community and through social interaction, conversation and shared experiences. This promotes a sense of community and social responsibility, providing important preparation for life beyond Hampton.

The bursary policy, accessibility plan, teaching links programme and the funding of free places provided by the Fitzwygram Foundation all widen access to the education the Schools provide and the facilities they offer.

5.1 Bursaries and Scholarships

The Governors view bursary and scholarship awards as a means of ensuring a diverse school population, drawn from all backgrounds and sections of the community. In funding these awards they are nonetheless mindful of the need for fairness towards fee-paying parents, many of whom make considerable personal sacrifices to pay for their child’s education. They are also responsible for ensuring the on-going financial sustainability of the Schools, which do not have a large endowment, and aware of the need to maintain and develop their facilities in a competitive market.

The Governors’ policy is to award scholarships based on an individual’s academic and co-curricular merit and potential. They also offer scholarships, whereby a bursary award supplements the scholarship.

The Governors established a separate charity, the Fitzwygram Foundation, with the single aim of increasing the number of free place scholarships at the School. In September 2023 Hampton School had 17 Fitzwygram Foundation Scholars and a further Scholar joined in September 2024 taking the total to 18. The School received £486,685 (2023: £394,634) from the Fitzwygram Foundation in respect of their Scholarships.

In the year ending 31 August 2024 the total value of scholarship and bursary awards was £4,393,384 (2023: £3,908,981), with 410 awards (2023: 405) made as detailed in note 2 to the accounts. Bursaries totalling £3,239,450 (2023: £2,850,701) were awarded and 108 pupils received a 100% bursary (2023: 99). The value of scholarships totalled £1,153,934 (2023: 1,058,280).

STRATEGIC REPORT

6. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES

6.1 Pupil numbers and Fees

In the year ending 31 August 2024, the number of pupils was 1,333 at Hampton School and 230 at Hampton Pre-Prep & Prep School.

The fees per term, before the deduction of any means-tested bursaries and scholarships, for the year ending 31 August 2024 were:

Hampton Pre-Prep & Prep: Kindergarten (whole day) £4,986 Lower School (Reception to Year 2) £5,265 Middle and Upper School (Years 3 to 6) £5,775 Hampton: Secondary School (Years 7 to 13) £8,240

6.2 Employee Involvement

Effective communication with employees is of vital importance and the School has established methods to provide information to and consult with employees on financial and other matters that affect them.

7

HAMPTON SCHOOL GOVERNORS’ REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

6.3 Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Hampton is a community in which diversity is valued and celebrated. A wide range of opportunities exist to help pupils learn about and celebrate different aspects of diversity and equality.

All appointments are made to ensure that the best possible staff are recruited on the basis of their merits, abilities and suitability for their position. We aim to continue to provide role models for pupils by increasing further the diversity within our staff community.

It is the practice of the School to facilitate the employment of persons with disabilities and to provide, whenever possible, opportunities for training, career development and promotion. Where employees become disabled whilst in service, every effort is made to rehabilitate them to their former jobs or some other suitable alternative and provide appropriate training and specialist advice.

6.4 Environment

The School is committed to the environment and strives to reduce its carbon footprint by decreasing CO2 emissions at source, where possible. Protecting the environment is at the heart of the School building projects and infrastructure improvements and is included within the curriculum across a wide range of subjects.

The School’s energy usage and emissions, prepared in accordance with the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requirements, for the year ended 31 August were as follows:

2024 2023
Energy use in kWh:
Gas 2,474,990 2,766,631
Electricity 1,092,535 976,697
Fuel 107,720 164,772
Total 3,675,245 3,908,099
**Associated Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions in Tonnes CO2: **
Gas 454 515
Electricity 252 217
Fuel 26 39
Total 732 771
Intensity ratio (kilograms of CO2 per metre squared of gross internal area) 30.99 32.61

GHG emissions have been calculated in accordance with the 2021 UK Government factors for company reporting.

7. PARTNERSHIPS

The School has always taken and will continue to take its responsibilities as a charitable trust very seriously. The School will continue to contribute a great deal to the community. It will, with reference to the Charities Act 2006:

The staff and pupils of the School continue to commit a great deal of time and effort to provide a wide range of partnership activities locally, nationally and internationally. The cost of the School’s commitment to partnership activities during the year is estimated to be around £136,000.

8

HAMPTON SCHOOL GOVERNORS’ REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

Hampton School is registered on the ISC Schools Together website and it has uploaded examples of projects, including academic, sporting and other co-curricular support for a large number of local schools.

The Hampton Independent-State Schools Partnership (ISSP) is a link between two independent schools (Hampton School and Lady Eleanor Holles School (LEH)) and five maintained schools from the London Boroughs of Richmond upon Thames and Kingston upon Thames. Pupils from the state-funded member schools have been able to enjoy educational opportunities which would not otherwise have been available to them.

Extensive partnership work between Hampton, LEH and the Reach Academy has been taking place at the sixth form college in Feltham. Focused on meeting the needs of local young people, Feltham College offers a range of pathways and is innovative in placing equal emphasis on academic and vocational courses.

In addition to the very substantial benefits our School brings to our pupils, the local community and society through the education we provide, our partnerships create a social asset without cost to the Exchequer. In the past year the Trust has educated 1,563 pupils, relieving UK public expenditure, it is estimated, by around £11.25m (based on the average pupil funding in schools for 2023-24 of £7,200 (source Gov.uk School funding statistics 2023-24)).

The Governors have had regard to the general guidance from the Charity Commission on public benefit when determining the School’s objectives.

8. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Board of Governors is responsible for overseeing the risks faced by the Schools. Detailed considerations of risk are delegated to the senior management of the Schools other than those relating to the Board and its membership. Risks are identified and assessed and controls are established throughout the year. A formal written review of the Charity’s risk management processes is undertaken on an annual basis.

This review covers the major risks and uncertainties common to all independent schools (for example, the imposition of VAT on school fees; retention of high quality teaching staff; achievement of planned pupil numbers; effective and controlled funding for development; safeguarding; development of partnership activities).

Through such reviews and the overall risk management processes established for the Schools, the Governors are satisfied that the principal risks identified have been adequately mitigated where possible. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

The principal risks currently identified on the School’s risk register are:

Risk

Risk Mitigation The political landscape and other external factors The Governors are controlling costs and limiting capital that affect the School financially, strategically commitments and will continue to monitor the possible challenges and operationally. and plan, where possible, for such eventualities Reputational damage As a consequence of any issue there is a risk of reputational damage. The School maintains effective policies and procedures to identify and minimise this risk. Failure to comply with legislation in particular The School has policies and procedures to reduce the risk and Safeguarding, Health & Safety and Employment maintain compliance and Governor overview laws.

Recruitment and retention of staff Competitive salary and benefits, including provision of some accommodation, and providing competitive pension options for all staff

9

HAMPTON SCHOOL GOVERNORS’ REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

9. FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

9.1 Financial Results

The financial statements show total net income for the year of £3,202,896 (2023: £2,714,700). Net cash inflow from operating activities for the year was £8,538,685 (2023: £3,336,313) including £4,335,271 (2023: reduction £959,343) from advanced fees (see note 14).

This cash inflow was used principally to fund our investing activities which included fixed asset additions amounting to £1,782,936 (2023: £2,224,078).

The Governors are continuing their policy of deploying all net income to enhance the Schools’ charitable objectives.

9.2 Investments

Investing activities are governed by the Trustee Act 2000.

The School uses CCLA to manage its investment portfolio. The current objective is to increase the investment portfolio by CPIH +5%. The Fitzwygram Foundation also uses CCLA and its current long term objective is to achieve investment returns better than CPI.

In the financial year both investment portfolios have performed in line with their respective market expectations.

9.3 Other Relationships:

9.3.1 Millennium Boathouse

The administration of this facility is divided between Hampton School and LEH. Hampton School has responsibility for the maintenance of the site and LEH for all financial and administrative operations. For ease of administration the total revenue and costs are recorded in the accounts of LEH and audited as part of its accounts. A yearly reconciliation takes place to ensure net income and expenditure is evenly shared and recorded in the respective school’s accounts.

9.3.2 Pupilcoach Limited

Pupilcoach Limited is a joint trading company wholly owned in equal shares by Hampton School and LEH. The company provides a service to parents requiring help in transporting their children to and from the Schools and LEH.

The licensed coaches currently carry over 1,200 pupils a day on 26 different routes. The financial plan is to break even over the course of the financial year with any profits made by the company covenanted to the charities (Hampton School and LEH), or deficits shared, on an equal basis. The Bursar of Hampton School and Director of Finance at LEH are Directors and nominee shareholders. The accounting records are maintained and audited on a separate basis and are not consolidated into these accounts as they are not material. Hampton School’s share of the results is shown in note 23.

9.4 Reserves and Financial Position

The Governors believe that the School is in a good financial position and can continue as a going concern with secure financial management. The current economic climate is being closely monitored. The Trust aims to maintain an annual operating surplus which finances capital expenditure on improving buildings, equipment and other necessary facilities. This enables the Charity to provide the first-class education the parents, pupils and public have come to expect.

The Governors recognise that the level of reserves fluctuates and the School has invested substantial sums in the new School buildings and staff accommodation in recent years. Adequate resources and investment funds are available to provide a “safety net” should they be required.

The Governors regularly review the level and nature of the reserve funds of the School. The total value of Trust funds at 31 August 2024 was £58,672,463 of which unrestricted funds totalled £48,416,296, endowed funds £7,014,886 and restricted funds £3,241,281. As at 31 August 2024 the value of the pension liability fund was £752,236, although

10

HAMPTON SCHOOL GOVERNORS’ REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

designated, this amount is available as unrestricted reserves for the School should the need arise. The funds are detailed in notes 15, 16 and 17.

Technically the School has no free reserves as annual surpluses, supplemented by borrowings where required, are reinvested to improve the property and other facilities. Governors monitor cash flow closely and working capital is considered to be sufficient to meet the School’s liabilities as they fall due. With respect to the School’s principal funds:

9.5 Statement of Governors’ Responsibilities

The Governors (who are the directors of the School for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Governors’ 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 Governors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Governors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards) and applicable law. Under company law the Governors 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 School and net movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, of the School for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Governors are required to:

The Governors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the School’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the School and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the School and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

So far as each of the Governors is aware at the time the report is approved:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAMPTON SCHOOL

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Hampton School for the year ended 31 August 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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 Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

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 group 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 trustees’ 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 group or parent charitable company'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 trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report. 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the strategic report and the directors’ 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:

Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 10, the trustees (who are also the directors of the group and parent 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the group’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 group or parent 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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

Based on our understanding of the group and parent charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to independent school regulations, employment law, safeguarding regulations and Charity and Company law, and we considered the extent to which noncompliance 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 statements such as the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP.

14

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF HAMPTON SCHOOL (continued)

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls). Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation

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

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.

HAMPTON SCHOOL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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 for Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019)

The accounts are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting, as modified by the revaluation of investments. The accounts are prepared for Hampton School (the School) as a single entity. The School has two subsidiaries and one joint venture, see notes 24 and 23 respectively.

The School is a Public Benefit Entity registered as a charity in England and Wales. Hampton School Foundation Charity became a charitable company, limited by guarantee, on 1 September 2007 (registration number 06264434). The registered office is Hampton School, Hanworth Road, Hampton, Middlesex, TW12 3HD.

Group Financial Statements

These financial statements consolidate the results of the School and its subsidiary the Fitzwygram Foundation (charity number 10056045), together the Group. The School has a joint venture and one further subsidiary, see notes 23 and 24 respectively.

In accordance with Section 408 of the Companies Act, no separate Statement of Financial Activities is presented for the School. The School has taken advantage of the exemption available in FRS102 to a qualifying entity from the requirement to present a Cash Flow Statement for the School only.

Going concern

Having reviewed the Group’s future projected cash flows, which reflect the impact of rising costs and other risks, and the cash resources available to the Group together with the expected ongoing demand for places, the Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there are no material uncertainties over the School’s financial viability. Accordingly, they also continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Statement of Governors’ Responsibilities on page 10.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the accounting policies, Governors 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.

Judgements made by the Governors in the application of these policies that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material misstatement in the next year are deemed to be in relation to the depreciation rates of tangible fixed assets, the bad debt provision, the valuation of the defined benefit pension scheme and the Governors’ assessment that the surplus in the defined benefit pension scheme is not recoverable from future reductions in employer contributions or specific refunds or reimbursement from the scheme.

22

HAMPTON SCHOOL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the School’s financial statements.

Fees and similar earned income

Fees receivable and charges for services and use of the premises, less any allowances, scholarships, bursaries granted by the School against those fees, but including contributions received from restricted funds, are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided.

Investment income

Investment income from dividends, bank balances and fixed interest securities is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Donations, legacies, grants and other voluntary income

Voluntary income is accounted for as and when entitlement arises, the amount can be reliably quantified and the economic benefit to the School is considered probable.

Expenditure

Expenditure is allocated to expense headings on a direct cost basis. Redundancy and termination costs are accrued in the period in which the decision is made and communicated to the affected employee(s). The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expense to which it relates. Any expenses incurred with recoverable VAT are shown net of VAT.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Assets purchased with a cost of greater than £5,000 (computer equipment £150,000) are depreciated. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates to write off each asset over its estimated useful economic life.

Freehold property 2% on cost with 10% residual value
Leasehold property 2% on cost with 10% residual value or term of
lease if shorter
Property improvements 10% on cost
Equipment:
Furniture, fixtures & fittings and office equipment 15% on cost
Kitchen, administrative and teaching equipment 15% on cost
Motorised equipment 20% on cost
Computer equipment 50% on cost
Security & control systems 33.3% on cost
Motor vehicles 25% on cost
Rowing boats 10% on cost

Where assets are fully depreciated by the balance sheet date they are eliminated from the accounts in the following year. Properties held to provide staff accommodation are classified as fixed assets.

Fund accounting

23

HAMPTON SCHOOL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

Pension Schemes

The School contributes to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (the TPS) and to the Wandsworth Council Pension Fund (the Wandsworth Fund) at rates set by their actuaries and advised to the School by their administrators. These are defined benefit multi-employer pension schemes. As of 1 October 2016, the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames Pension Fund (the Richmond Fund) merged with the Wandsworth Fund. All previous participating employers of the Richmond Fund became participating employers of the Wandsworth Fund from this date and all assets and liabilities associated with each employer transferred to the Wandsworth Fund. The Richmond Fund was closed to support staff joining the School after 1 April 2009. For the TPS it is not possible to identify the assets and liabilities of the scheme that are attributable to the School and the School does not benefit from any surpluses on the scheme nor share in any losses. Accordingly, under FRS 102 the scheme is accounted for as if it were a defined contribution scheme. The School also contributes to TPT Retirement Solutions Pension Scheme and the Aviva Pension Trust for Independent Schools (APTIS) for support staff and teaching staff. These are defined contribution schemes with the employer contribution currently set at between 10% and 20% and employee contributions set at between 0% and 10%.

Operating Leases

Rentals payable are charged on a time basis over the lease term.

Realised and unrealised gains/losses

Realised gains/losses are recorded in the accounts at the date of disposal. Unrealised gains/losses are recorded at the balance sheet date.

Advanced Fees

Parents may enter into a contract with the School to pay tuition fees in advance and by doing so they receive a discount.

Acceptance Deposits

An acceptance deposit is payable when a place is accepted at the School. The deposit is refunded when the pupil leaves the School. If parents choose not to send a pupil to the School after formally accepting a place the acceptance deposit is forfeited and retained according to the School’s terms and conditions.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Basic financial cost 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 treasury deposits with a maturity of less than one year used as working capital. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise all creditors except social security and other taxes and provisions. Assets and liabilities held in foreign currency are translated to sterling at the balance sheet date at an appropriate exchange rate.

Investments

Investments are stated at market value less any provision for permanent diminution in value.

============ ============

The cost of the operating leases included as an expense in the Statement of Financial Activities is £51,887 (2023: £51,887).

20. PENSION SCHEMES

The School participates in the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (“the TPS”) for the majority of its teaching staff. The pension charge for the year includes contributions payable to the TPS of £2,695,026 (2023: £2,389,131) and at the year end £320,425 (2023: £269,391) was accrued in respect of contributions to this scheme. The School entered into a phased withdrawal from the TPS on 1 August 2024. Teaching staff joining after 1 August 2024 will be invited to join the APTIS defined contribution scheme.

The TPS is an unfunded multi-employer defined benefits pension scheme governed by The Teachers’ Pensions Regulations 2010 (as amended) and The Teachers’ Pension Scheme Regulations 2014 (as amended). Members contribute on a “pay as you go” basis with contributions from members and the employer being credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.

The employer contribution rate is set by the Secretary of State following scheme valuations undertaken by the Government Actuary’s Department. The most recent actuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2020 and the Valuation Report published in October 2023.

Following the McCloud judgement, the remedy proposed that when benefits become payable, eligible members can select to receive them from either the reformed or legacy schemes for the period 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2022. The actuaries have assumed that members are likely to choose the option that provides them with the greater benefits, and in preparing the 2020 valuation has valued the ‘greater value’ benefits for groups of relevant members.

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 School also participates in a defined benefit pension scheme for support staff (see note 21) and defined contribution pension scheme for support and teaching staff. The pension charge for the year includes contributions payable to these schemes of £851,007 (2023: £600,203) and at the year end £206 (2023: £nil) was accrued in respect of contributions to these schemes.

HAMPTON SCHOOL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024

21. PENSION SCHEME LIABILITY

An actuarial valuation of the defined benefit pension scheme previously offered to support staff was carried out on behalf of the School as at 31 August 2023, in accordance with FRS102 and based on the instructions of the Wandsworth Council Pension Fund. Contributions are set every three years following the actuarial valuation of the Fund required by the Regulations. The last full actuarial valuation of the Fund was as at 31 March 2022, which set the contributions for the period from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2026. The contributions for the period after 31 March 2026 will be set following the completion of the actuarial valuation as at 31 March 2025.

Where the scheme is determined to be in a deficit position, this is recognised in full as a liability. Where the scheme is determined to be in a surplus position, a surplus is recognised as an asset only to the extent that this can be recovered in future years through reductions in employer contributions or through a specific refund/reimbursement from the scheme.
