In the year lo 31 August 2021, there was net income from operations of £24,000 12020.. net expenditure of £1.124,000}. The nel income for Ihe year reflects a gross fee increase of 30k for Lower one and 3.50A for all other year groups on the previous year12020'. 201. for Lower one and 40h for 811 other year groups) however the increase, in respK)nse to the COVID-19 pandemic was impacted by the discount on spring tem fees given to reflect the Sehools change to remote leaming, in accordance with government rules. The depreciation charge for the year increased by £20,000 10 £1,489,000. The School invested capitsl funds amounting to £545,ODO in the year 12020.. £396,000). The capital expenditure in the year was primarily in respect ol planned remodelling and refurbishment of girl's boarding houses and replacement boiler plant. There were unrealised gains on investments arising in The Elizabethan Trust 01 £1,396,000 12020.. an nrealised loss of £291,000). and an aduarial gain on the revaluation of the defined benefit pension scheme of £4,00012020= actuarial loss of £9.0001 The School's trading company.

After allowing for this contribution, OSEL made a residual loss of £2.00012020'. loss of £59,000>. No Gift Aid payment will be made in the year to 31 August 2021.12020.. £01 The Senior Leadership Team and Tnjstees monitor the performance of the School through a series of Key Perfom)8nce Indicators trackèd over many years and benchmarked against the independent school sector and specific comparable peer groups within the sector through Baines Culler Solutions benchmarking surveys. Pupil numbers are vital in terms of income and surpluses and likely future numbers are tracked ￿refUl￿ through the Admissions Department and through lead indicators lenquiry levels, parent visits, numbers al Open Days, numbers registered for entrance examinations etcl. 750/0 of the School's operating expenditure is represented by the over811 wage bill. 50010 of operating expenditure is represent￿ by the wage bill of the teaching estsblishmenl. The School participates in the triennial Baines Culler Solutions Teacher Pay, Benefits and Workload Survey to benchmsrk against its peers. Stsff eosls as well as the pupil.. teacher ratio, teacher cost per pupil and teacher cost as a percentage of Nel Fee Income are tracked carefully. One of the most important indicators is investrnent surplus (surplus before depreciation, profitor loss on disposal of fixed assets and unrealised investment gains or losses). The investment surplus for Oakham School including OSEL. the activities of the Foundation and the investment perfomiance of the Elizabethan Trust was £1,513.000 {2020-. £418,000). representing 6.3%12020'. 1.90kl of n81 fee income. A$$ot Cover for Funds Note 18 to the accounts sets out an analysis of the assets attributable lo the various lunds and a description of the trusts. These assets are suffi¢ienl lo meet the Charity's obligattons on a fund by fund basis. The School's tangible assets are all held for use by the Schotsl. 15 OAKHAM SCHOOL TRUSTEES, REPORT (CONTINUED) YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 Reserves Pollcy The Trustees regularly review the level and nature of the totsl funds of the School. The Trustees anlicipale that the School will continue to accumulate sufflcienl reserves by means of annual operating surpluses to generate ￿$oUr￿S for the continued development of the School. Due lo the heavy investment in fixed assets. notably buildings, at the School, there are currently no free reserves defined as nel assets less tangible fixed assets as designated funds in the School 12020.. £nill. However, the Trustees are satisfied that exlemal finance facilities provide an additional and adequate safely nel if il should be required. A £1.5m overdraft facilty and £1.5m CBIL is in place as at the August 31, 2021. Furthermore, the consolidated School position includes The Elizabethan Trust which had total funds of £6.123m as at 31 August 2021 12020.- £4.842ml. Of the total funds, £3.355m 12020.. £2.514ml were unrestricted. The funds are primarily held in common investment funds which are managed by regulated UK based fund managers. Golng Concern We have prepared a number of scenarios that Consider our cash position, sources of income and planned expenditure for the 2021122 and 2022123 year. This includes the impact of coronavirus on all aspects of the School's operation. These scenarios consider reduced pupll numbers, delayed fee payments, reduced fees and potential bad debis and loan repayments, and impact on costs from the cosl-saving measures introduced so far. Sensitivity around these assumptions has also been considered in our forecasting. R8sulls of this cash flow and sensitivity analysis indicate that the cash reseNes of the School are adequate lo meet the School's obligations as they fall due. The School has negative working capitsl, ngt assets minus nel liabilities, of £2.3m. this is not unusual for a School given that Winter term 2021122 bills are issued in July 2021. £3.1 m of the current liabilities relate to amounts received prior to August 31, 2021 in respect of this billing. Having Tegard to the above, the Trustees believe it appropriate to continue using the going concem basis of accounting in preparing the financial stalemenls. Energy and Emissions report Oakham School continues to review energy-saving measures at least tem)ly and maintains an accurate record of improvements that have been rnade to reduce energy, emissions, 8nd cost.
