ststement on compliance with s172(11 Companies Act 2006
The Governors, as Directors, of The Leys and St Faith's Foundation consider, both individually and
together, that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote
the success of the Foundation for the benefit of its members as a whole (having regard to the stakeholders
and matters sel out in s172111 (a-fl of the Act) in the decisions tsken during the year ended 3 1st July

OBJECTS, AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Charitable Objects of The Foundation
The Foundation has two objects..
al The provision of high quality education, in particular by the conduct of the two Schools known
as The Leys School and St Faith's School.
bl The use of the facilities of the Schools, when not required for education, for other charitable
purpose5, for the benefit of the local community and the wider public.
The religious teaching in the Schools shall be in accordance with that of the Methodist Conference.
Mission for The Leys
The purpose of The Leys is to play our part in changing the world for the better. We do this through the
education we provide, by making a distinctive and positive difference to the lives of our pupils, by being
caring and rewarding in developing and managing our staff, by being a responsive and trusted partner to
our parents, and by making a beneficial contribution to the wider community.
Aims
By foundation and slruclure, The Leys is a boarding community. We place great value on being a 'big,
small school" in which we give Leysians a rich and challenging school experience which they find
intrinsically valuable. By so doing, we seek to ensure, in the spirit of our Methodist founders and our
Christian values, that we send Leysians out into the world ready
academically, culturally, morally,
physically, spiritually and socially - to live fulfilling lives which will make a positive contribution to the
fast-changing world which lies beyond our gates.
In order to achieve our purpose, we will always aim..
To have a distinctive notion of education, shared and understood by all stskeholders, and built
on three foundation stones.. pastoral, academic and wider curricular. Of these three, 'pastoral'
is accepted as pre-eminent, because if pupils feel sUPPOrted and confident, they will flourish in
all areas of the life of the school.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
2. To give Leysians a rewarding, challenging and valuable sch￿1 experience. Our location in the
heart of the city of Cambridge allows us unique opportunities to ensure that a Leysian education
is distinctive and endlessly exciting.
3. To nurture, within a community which is Christian in its core values, open and liberal in its world
view and multicultural in its intake, young people who.. display kindness and sensitivity to those
around them., have strong and solid values on which they can base their lives,. can think for
themselves., can perform resiliently under pressure,. and are aware and respectful of
sustainability, difference and diversity.
Vision
Our goal is for this ethos to be understood and respected by all pupils, staff, current and prospective
parents, visitors and the wider comrnunity.
If this is achieved, then the combination of our distinctive ethos and world-class location makes The
Leys unique.
Thereafter we seek (by the date of (>ur 150th annIVer￿ry in 20251 to be recognised as the leading city
boarding school in the country.
Mi55ion for St Faith's
st Faith's seeks to be a happy, inclusive and a supportive community which welcomes families from all
religious and cultural backgrounds. Underpinned by Christian values, we nurture every child as an
infinitely valuable and uniquely gifted member of the St Faith's family. We aim to cultivate strength of
character, distinguished inter-personal qualities, distinctive leadership ability and a keen sense of social
responsibility. Our innovative and future-focused education builds on a strong academic heritage and
promotes excellence in all areas.
Values
The School was originally founded to educate the children of Fellows of The University of Cambridge
Colleges,. it subsequently formed a joint foundation with The Leys, an established Methodist school. St
Faith's thus enjoys 8 unique, dual heritage resulting in an education characterised by academic excellence
and innovation that is underpinned by a foundation of Christian values and principles.
Al St Faith's all members of the School community are:
Infinitely Valuable - we promote respect for each other., encouraging integrity of character
Uniquely gifted we promote high expectations,. encouraging individual excellence
Mutually dependent - we promote an attitude of service., encoLJraging personal initiative
Continually learning - we promote a spirit of forEiveness' encouraEinE perseverance
The Foundation's Public Benefit

each pupil can develop and fulfil his or her potential, thus lo help build self-confidence and inculcate
desire to contribute to the wider community.
The second object provides the opportunity for the Foundation to play an important role within the local
community.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
In the furtherance of these aims the Foundation Governors, as the Charity Trustees, have complied with
the duty under Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 lo have due regard to the Charity Commission's
published guidance concerning the operation of the Public Benefit requirement under the Act.
A specified Governor has a responsibility to oversee the public benefit activities of the Schools. An annual
report for all Governors is produced to summarise the activities that have been undertaken to benefit the
local community and wider public.
The awarding of bursaries for the needy is a measurable means of providing public benefit. The
Foundation takes the view that bursaries awarded to those who would not otherwise be able to afford
the fees are important, but not to the exclusion of the much wider benefit that the schools provide within
the community. This year, the schools awarded £1,019,642 in Bursary Awards or scholarships. Over
2 18 pupils received some financial assistsnce. Within this provision means-tested awards based on a
sliding scale according to financial circumstances totalling £822,444 were awarded to 99 pupils.
St Faith's have appointed a 'Head of Outreach, to develop further their work with the community. Their
partnership with two local maintained primary schools continues to grow and develop. Pupils from both
schools have benefitted from lessons provided by St Faith's Heads of Department using specialist facilities
and drama suite. Senior managers from the schools have met to share best practice and determine how
the partnerships should grow. The link with two Cambridge special schools is also well established. In
January, pupils from the schools joined together with St Faith's pupils for a two-day drama workshop,
culminating in a performance to parents and staff.
The Leys also appointed a 'Head of Outreach, who has developed the link with a local primary school
where The Leys has provided 5peci31i5t teaching in dance, drama, hockey, rugby, tennis and cricket. A
partnership was established with Cambridge Rugby Club to provide opportunities to 15 and 16 year olds
leaving education after their GCSE'S and who were at risk of losing their way in the community.
partnership was also established with the Red Hen Project, a local charity which supports the most
vulnerable families in Cambridge. The children in these families attend primary schools in North
Cambridge. The school provided resources, both physical and digital to support these children. We also
provided Covid-safe transport for 12 families lo visit a local wildlife park after their usual annual day trip
was cancelled due to Covid, many of the families commented that this was the only time they had left
their neighbourhood during the year. Working with the Ollie Feast Trust The Leys also delivered sports
activities packs to 48 families to enable them to engage in sporting and leisure activities during the
holiday5.
The Headmaster recently received the following email of thanks on behalf of the Queen Edith's
Community Forum.
'1 wanted to let you know how grateful we are lo the three members of your sports
staff - Bruno Vincenle, Ashley Trent and Paddy Miller - for running 20 hours of sports provision over the
school summer holidays for local children. The sessions were extremely well attended and have generated
lots of positive feedback from parents, for example..
My daughter has never had the chance to do
organised sport before so it has been lovely watching her try different things she has never seen. As an
only child 3 shielding household she has had very little chance to see other children or exercise so
it is brilli3nt to have something that gently reintroduces her to both. She did initially start by
she couldn't do sports as she is not a boy, but seems to have lost that belief over th& w&eks, the girls
winning the lug of war really helped. She especially enjoys the circuits bul has tried football and cricket
too. From an organiser's point ol view, Bruno, Ashley and Paddy were a joy lo work with, and their
enthusiasm and professionalism reflect really well on the Leys reputation for sporting excellence.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
Both schools have opened up their facilities to local schoo15 and the community for a wide range of
activities. These have included running and hosting the Carnbridgeshire Chess League, the Cambridge
Maths Challenge, hockey coaching for I(￿al primary pupils and providing facilities and resources to a
range ol local charities.
The Leys has been looking for opportunities to help the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children for
a number of years. This year the school has partnered with the Royal National Springboard Foundation
which is a charity providing disadvantaged and vulnerable Children and young people with the life-
transforming opportunity of a fully funded boarding school education. The school welcomes the first
recipient of the new Bursary Scherne in Septernber 2020.
STRATEGIC REPORT
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Impact of Covid-19 on the Foundation
The achievements and performance of the schools has been significantly impacted by Covid-19 and
therefore we begin this section of the Trustees Report with an overview of actions the ￿h0O1$ took lo
cope with the impact of Covid-19 and outline how the pandemic has affected the performance of the
schools.
Review of the summer term
Both schools continued lo operate as normally as possible until the Government formally mandated all
schools lo close on 20th March. By this staEe, several international boarders had already left The Leys
to ensure they were able to return to their home countries.
From the stsrt of the Summer Term the Leys did not open for any on-site teaching, with all teaching
taking place remotely. The school wa5 fortunate that the IT infrastructure and digitsl strategy for teaching
and learning meant that it could move smoothly to remote teaching and was able to deliver a very high-
quality service. Al the end ol the summer term the school orEanised for all those pupils who could easily
access the school lo come onto site to meet with their pastoral staff.
St Faith's provided on-site teaching for pupils of essential workers during the Easter and Summer holidays
and for the Summer Term. As the Government relaxed restrictions, the school began to teach other pupils
on site and by the end of the term was educating the majority of pupils at the Sch￿1. A structured online
programme of lessons was provided for year groups which had to rerllain at home.
The Governing body were regularly updated and organised several additional virtual meetings. The first
of these was held on March 315t where Governors discussed and aEree the financial and operational
principles for the schools for the summer term and reviewed proposed budgets in light of the challenges
caused by Covid-19.
The key operational principles were..
To retain parent confidence in the educati(In service, both (>n-site and remotely to ensure the
continuity of education.
To continue to ensure a value for money provision.
Page 8

THE LEYS AND ST FAITH'S SCHOOLS FOUNDATION
(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
To ensure fee affordability and maintain pupil numbers.
To continue to pay full staff salaries.
To maintain essential (particularly safety and c(Impliance relatedl site maintenance operations.
To ensure the schools were ready to provide a lull on-site educational offering when the crisis
was over.
To retain a level of business contingency.
The schools adopted a phased approach dealing with the immediate crisis and then the longer term
potential impact and broader consequences.
The key planning assumptions for the summer term were..
The schools to plan to provide only remote teaching for the Summer Term.
The crisis would have a serious impact on the economy and therelore on the ability of some
parents to pay the fees.
The schools c(iuld not charge the usual fees for the Summer Term.
The schools would lose most of the miscellaneous income for the Summer Term.
The Schools would need to reduce operational spending and stop any project spending.
The schools also identified the major financial related risks..
Remote learning provision not sufficient to justify the fees charged for the Summer Term.
Parents unable to pay the fees and needing bursary support.
Parents paying the fees later than normal.
Based on the assumption5 and taking into account the key risks, the schools put together detsiled
forecasts which took into account a reduction in fee income, a reduction in other income, operational
savings, income frorn the Government furlough scherne and an increase in the bursary provision. The
Leys was forecast to break even for the year and St Faith's to make a small surplus.
The Governors reviewed a variety of actions to mitigate any cash flow challenEes and agreed a priority
order of actions if they became necessary.
Governors were regularly kept informed of the performance of the schools and formal rlleetings were held
on 12m May and then on 22￿ June to review progres5. At the rmeetings, both schools were able to report
how successfully they had manged to provide a high-quality educational provision throughout the term
and the positive feedback they had received from parents. The Leys had provided all the teaching
remotely, St Faith's had increasingly provided on-site leaching as the government allowed primary
schools to bring children back onto Site.
Both schools had managed to work closely with their respective parent bodies. The schools received very
few queries about the fees charged for the summer term with the vast majority of parents paying on time.
The number of parents requiring additional financial support was well below the forecast level and several
parents contributed towards a new Covid hardship fund which had been set up.

(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
The schools experienced no challenges with managing the cash flow and did not need to consider taking
any other actions.
The schools also reviewed the key covenant conditions lor the bank loan and mortgages. There were no
concerns about breaching the conditions.
Planning for 2020121
For the 2020121 academie year Governors made the following planning decisions and a5sumptions'.
The fees would not rise for 2020121
The staff would not receive any Inflationary increase for 2020122 1.
There would be potential for a drop in pupil numbers.
There would be an increased requirement for bursary support.
There would be a significant fall in miscellaneous incorne.
The schools would need to reduce operating costs where possible.
All project spending would be on hold.
Actual performance for 2020121
Both schools have started the new year with hiEher pupil numbers than estimated in January when the
original budget proposals for 2020121 were put together. Income from other sources is significantly
down and forecast to be so lor the whole year. On the expenditure side, the school have reviewed and
reduced many operation81 budgets and have decided to delay any project spending until there is more
certainty.
Detailed financial forecasts have been put tOEether for 3 planning scenarios including another full
lockdown. All these forecasts demonstrate that the schools will be able to cope with the current crisis
and should not lace significant cash flow challenges.
The schools have also reviewed the key covenant conditions for the bank loans and mortgages. There
are no concerns about breaching the conditions in 2020121.
Planning for 2021122
LookinE to the medium term, the key factor will be the pupil numbers. The day market for both schools
remains very strong and there are no indicators that this will change, indeed due to the challenges faced
by local maintained schools during the lockdown there has been an increase in enquiries.
The Leys is dependent on the boarding market and it is likely that the market for International boarders
could be impacted by the current crisis. It is not Po￿lbIe at this stage to accurately forecast the potential
impact on boarding numbers for 202 1122. The Leys has invested in several new initiatives to promote
International boarding and are pleased with the recent interest from prospective parents. The demand
for 202 1122 is encouraging.
Both schools anticipate that miscellaneous income will slowly begin to increase again.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
Detailed planning is about to begin on the proposed school budget5 for 202 1122. Both schools will be
taking a cautious approach to estimating pupil numbers and other income.
Objectives for the year for The Leys
In last yearfs Trustees, Report, the following objectives were identified for the next five years=
l. Continue our focus to ensure that The Leys is recoEnised as a centre ol excellence for two core
academic objectives.. the quality of the continued professional development of our academic staff
and the quality of teaching and learning at The Leys.
2. Continue to offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities and aspire to high standards both in
the wider CLJrriculum and in the all-round personal development of the pupils.
3. Continue to build links with feeder schools in the independent and maintained sectors and
develop our marketing Strategies to keep the school full.
4. Continue to strengthen the positive impact of the school in terms of benefit to the wider
community, not least through the future provision of fully-funded places for the most
disadvantaged children.
5. Continue to develop the use of Information Technology both as a teaching tool and to enhance
the administration of the Foundation as a whole.
6. Continue to focus on the future development of the campus through the implementation of a
master plan for the site.
7. Continue to develop and enhance our reputation for excellent pastoral care.
Review of the operational performance of The Leys 2019-20
The school was Inspected in late 2018 and was found to be regulatorily compliant throughout.
We are now preparing for a forthcoming inspection though the COVID-19 pandemic has made
the timing of future inspections uncertain. Staff training and the quality of teaching and learning
continue to be key priorities.
Academic results and work ethic within the School remain strong. Our pupils excelled
themselves al A level and at GCSE, despite the huge uncertainty regarding how results would
be calculated. The School completed the 'Centre Assessed Grades, process in a professional
and timely way. Whilst the School was in lockdown, our online remote provision was widely
praised by pupils and parents. Colleagues reacted with admirable speed and adaptsbility to the
new systems and the previous work done on Google Classrooms and other IT training meant that
our usual platforms operated effectively during the lockdown. An ISTIP inspection during 2019-
20 confirmed that the School is highly regarded in its induction of teachers new to the profession
they in turn feel extremely well supported in their induction period.
Pagell

2. The Leys continue5 to offer a wide range of extra-curricLJlar activities and high achievement 15 a
feature of the wider curriculum, both individually and in terms of tearn and group perforrnance
levels in sport, the performing and creative arts, the Combined Cadet Force and the Duke of
Edinburgh Scheme. Consequently, the all-round personal development of the pupils remains a
prominent and very successful focus.
3. A wide variety of outreach opportunities has been created for feeder schools in the independent
and maintained sectors. The School roll was sustsined at around 560 pupils. Parental reviews
and surveys continue to indicate very high levels of satisfaction with the education offered to our
pupils and despite the COVI D-19 pandermic, demand for plac￿ rernains high and the school
remains full.
4. The School is devoting more resources than ever before (including dedicated, timetabled staff
timel to our public benefit activities. The details are included earlier in the report as part of The
Foundation's public benefit.
5. We have created a New Vision Studio which allows teachers lo experiment with the latest cutting
edge technology in Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality so that this can gradually be
incorporated into our teaching and learning. We have completed the task of installing uniform
Audio Visual Provision across the entire school campus, with over 75 units being expertly
installed by the ICT and Maintenance Departments. There can be few if any schools who can
claim that their teachers have such high-quality, uniform AV provision. The work we have done
in recent years on Google Classroom and other plattorms meant that we were able to move
quickly and effectively to remote leaching and learning when the School was forced by lockdown
into closing physically. Surveys of staff, pupil and parents, as well as informal feedback from
all the above, indicate that our provision was highly regarded by the overwhelming majority of
stakeholders.
6. Work on the Masterplan continues and further refurbishments and enhancements have taken
place, however, all major project spending was halted for the summer of 2020 in order to make
allowance5 for the financial impact of COVID-19.
7. The school revised its pastoral and safeguarding policies in the light of COVID-19 so that we
continued to provide excellent pastoral care even during lockdown and the additional support
we offered to our most vulnerable pupils was highly regarded and praised by parents.
Objectives for the year for St Faith's
l. Continue to provide an excellent all-round education with a future-focus and strong academic
core.
2. Continue t(> ensure that pupils, personal development is excellent, providing them with a strong
foundation on which to build in the future.
3. Maintsin the current school roll.

4. Continue to develop good links with the community, including partnerships with maintained
schools.
5. Increase the provision for means-tested bursaries.
6. Lead the introduction and development ol Engineering as a curriculum subject across maintained
and Independent schocils in the UK and abroad.
Review of the operational performance of St Faith's 2019120
l. Curriculum development continued to be a prominent feature of the School's all-round provision.
Engineering and Computing, for example, were key aspects of the academic education and
together with English, Maths, Science and Humanities formed a strong academic core.
Languages were also important.. Spanish wa5 taught from age 4, Latin from age 9, French from
age 10 and intensive courses of Mandarin, Arabic and German were provided for Year 8 pupils.
Once again, over 90 10 of Year 8 pupils gained places at their first choice senior school, with 29
scholarships being awarded in the process., approximately two-thirds of these scholarships were
for Art, Drama, Music and Sport and the remainder for core academic subjects
2. During the year, character education was further embedded in to the curriculum, with teachers
using this as a point of focus in lessons. Assemblies also focussed on the importance of kindness,
consideration and the concept of social responsibility. Additional rewards were introduced to
recognise exceptional kindness. The results of this work have been tangible, with the number of
incidents of unkindness and bullying decreasing and measurements of pupils, self-esteem and
happiness rising.
3. The school roll has been maintained and demand for places remains very high.
4. We have continued to develop our link with local maintained schools and the community. The
details are included earlier in the report as part of The Foundation's public benefit.
5. The budget for bursaries wa5 significantly increased, by 20 /•, to £243k.
6. In 2020, the St Faith's Engineering programmes of work were published jointly with the
Independent Association of Prep Schools IIAPSI. These schemes provide detailed lesson plans
for the teaching of Engineering lor pupils aged 7 to 13. They are being provided free of charge
to any slate maintained or IAPS school that requests them.
St Faith's continues to host and run National IAPS Engineering courses for schools wishing to
introduce this new subject to the curriculum. We estimate that as a result of these courses, the
publication of the schemes of work and the informal advice provided, we have assisted over 100
schools in the introduction of Engineering. Further courses are scheduled as we aim to 'roll out,
Engineering across the state and independent sector.

FUND RAISING PERFORMANCE AT THE LEYS 2019120
We are, as ever, very grateful for the support from our community of Old Leysians, parents and friends
of the School.
All fundraising is carried out through the Development otFice. This is in the form of telephone campaigns,
direct mail and face to face solicitation. The Office is staffed by professionals who undergo continuous
peer review and indLJStry standard training. The School is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and
staff are members of IDPE, which though not a regulated body does provide best practice for the industry
and adhere to all ICO regulations. The activities and performance of the Office is monitored by the
Headmaster and Governors.
The Off ice saw a number of staff changes this year with Fiona Slot, the Alumni Relations Off icer and Old
Leysian Society Secretary, leaving in December after 16 years of service and Thomas Northcote, Head
of Development, leaving in March. Due to the Government-imposed lockdown restrictions recruitment for
these positions was delayed leaving only one full-lime member of staff in the Office from March lo July.
A new Director of Development has now been recruited and will take up post in August 2020.
The Development Office has complied with all requirements of the Fundraising Regulator and ICO and
there have been no complaints received by the School.
The School only contscts those with a genuine connection with The Leys and do not cold calllma5S
rnarket. We screen people lor TPS when conducting telephone fundraising and exclude as appropriate.
All those aged over 80 are excluded from fundraising activity unless they opt in as are those under the
aEe of 27. All those that request no contact are marked such and receive no communications. All other
communications are measured and appropriate given the individuals relationship with the School.
The Development Office raised a total of over £510,000 from 264 donors in philanthropic gifts in the
financial year of 2019120. The regular giving programme has continued well, and August 2019 saw
another Telephone Campaign which raised over £60,000 in pledges to The Leys in regular gifts.
FollowinE on from the introduction of the new GDPR legislation, we are still, like many other educational
inslitulions, are relying on 'legitimate interest" lo contact members of our community by post and
telephone, although we are seeking consent from some individuals to send the Newsletter electronically
as the relevant legislation is stricter regarding electronic communication. To date we have around 2000
consents to send the OL News electronically. All data is held securely on our alumni and supporter
database which is accessible to limited members of the school staff. All staff in the Development Office
have acce￿ to the database and have undertaken appropriate industry standard data protection training.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE AGAINST OBJECTIVES
The Governors, objective is lo achieve a lolal rale of return target that is equivalent to the median of the
Wealth Management IWMI index for Charities judged on a 3 year rolling basis. The Sutvey ceased to
exist in April 2016 and performance is now compared to the MSCI WMA Balanced Index, as a market
comparator and the A￿et Risk Consultsnts IARCI Charity Steady Growth Index, as a peer groLJP
rneasurement. On a rolling 3 year basis to July 2020, the net total rate of return of the fund was 23.6 /
compared with the MSCI WMA benchrnark of 8.2 10 and ARC Steady Growth Index of 7.0 /.. On a rolling

benchmark and 25.8 /. for ARC. The net total rate of return of the fund frorn August 2019 to JLJIY 2020
was 1.7 10 compared with a totsl decline of the MSCI WMA benchmark of-4.9 10 and -4.2 /. for ARC.
During the year, across the individual asset classes, save for Fixed Interest investments, the portfolio
enjoyed a uselul outperformance across all sections of the list. The largest equity exposure remains
within the domestic UK market, although this was reduced during the year from 3 1.9 /. to 25.5 /.. Here
returns were relative, with a decline of -8.5/0 ahead of a decline of 17.7 /.Vo in the FTSE All Share
Index. Further afield, the significant contributor to the capitsl return was succes5 in North America,
where 25 /0 of the investments are held
with a return of 10.2 /0 Usefully ahead of 4.4 /. for the FTSE
All World North American Index. The weighting in technology and medical related stocks within our
North American holdings also explains the significant outperformance over the lonEer term with Apple,
Visa, T-mobile and Idexx all lealuring strongly, delivering returns in excess of 90 /0 over the rolling 3 year
period. In the case of Apple, the 3 year return is 198 /..
The managers continue to expect that the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, the US election, Covid when
combined with growing friction on global trading relationships are likely to contribute to reasonable levels
of volatility over the next twelve months., the portfolio remains suitably well-diversified to withstand a
reasonable degree of such capital volatility. In terms of income, as a result of companies preserving cash
on balance sheets to cope with the challenEes presented by Covid, the fund managers are factoring in a
reduction of 15 - 20 /0 in the twelve months ahead. They are hopeful that this marks a low point and
that dividends will resume towards the end of 2021 and into 2022.
The Investment Committee continues to monitor the activities of the portFolio Managers and is satisfied
with Quilter Cheviot's performance.
ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT
The Foundation welcomes the opportunity to report on the work both schools have been involved in to
reduce our impact on the environment and educate our pupils on the importance of acting in a sustsinable
manner. Both schools have committed a great deal of time and resources over recent years. St Faith's
were the first Independent school winner of the Ashden Sustainability Award and have worked with a
number of schools in the state and independent sectors to asslst them with putting together sustainability
action plans.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
The data ha5 been derived from the energy rnonitoring systems at the schools and checked with the
invoice information. The fuel consumption has been calculated from invoice data.
The intensity ratio looks at the emissions per pupil as the number of pupils is the main driver of our
emissions. We also hope that by better educating our pupils we can drive the emissions per pupil down
and this could become a key target which would motive the pupils.
Specific actions by the schools
The schools have recently focussed on their lighting with the installation of LED lighting where
appropriate, the introduction of low energy lighting, the updating of external lighting to be more
efficient, including the introduction of solar powered lighting where possible.
An evaluation of kitchen energy usage has led to changes to working practices and the
replacement of energy inefficient equipment.
Both schools use modern BMS systems to moff itor heating systems and have gradually reduced
run times and the average temperature settings. In addition, they have implemented heating
system a￿et life-cycle reporting.
Changes have been made to waste collection to encourage recycling and greatly reducing the
waste going to landfill.
In terms of transportation, the schools have installed additional covered cycle parking and also
electrical car charging points for use by the staff.
There is an ongoing programme to improve the energy eff iciency of the buildings with the
installing of roof spaces and pipework together with the replacement of single glazed windows
with double glazing.
The master plans lor future site developments ensure a coherent and future focussed energy
delivery plan that reflects renewable energy incentives, building improvement and longer-term
sustainability.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Results for the year
The income generated by the Foundation reduced by £1.5M from £25.8M to £24.3M. The fall was
totally due to the impact of Covid-19 on the income for the Summer Term. Both schools reduced the
fee they charged their parents because they could not provide the full education experience due to the
impact of Covid-19 restrictions, with the majority of teaching being delivered remotely. The schools also
did not generate any income from letting activities which all had to be cancelled. To cope with this fall
in income the schools reduced their operating costs and delayed planned spending on capital
improvement projects which were not essential. In addition, the depreciation costs fell significantly as
some of the boarding house refurbishments had been fully depreciated. The surplus generated increased
from £IM to £1.4M.

Reserves levelp policy and financial viability
At the Balance Sheet dale, the Foundation's total reserves were £38.5M 12019 £37.2MI including
£3,75M 12019 £3.8MI of endowed funds, £3.6M 12019 £3.6MI of expendable endowed funds,
£1.55M (£2019 £1.2MI of restricted funds and £29.6M 12019 £28.5MI of unrestricted funds. These
reserves are represented by fixed assets held for charitable purposes.
Within the restricted funds,- £406k was desigllated to provide fillancial support for parents impacted
Covid-19, £250k was designated towards ctssts ol the H.S.E. incident and £13 1 k was designated for
the Gift of Education.
Ideally, the Governors would like a General Fund of free reserves equivalent to 6 weeks unrestricted
expenditure lo meet its immediate objectives and protect its current activities, including the provision
of adequate working capital. The Governors recognise that due to the impact of Covid-19 on the income
for the Summer Term that was not Possible to generate this level of free reserves and whilst Covid-19
continues to impact the Foundation, this will continue to be the case. The Governors are confident they
have mitigation plans in place and therefore the lack of free reserves is not a significant issue.
The Foundation monitors its cash flow carefully. There is a bank overdraft facility of £500K and an
understanding with the bank that the facility can be increased lo £1 M if needed. A variety of scenarios
have been modelled for 2020121 and the Foundation has a number of mitigating actions that could be
taken if required. The Governors feel confident that the Foundation will not have any serious cash flow
challenges.
Going concern
At the time ol approval of the Annual Report and Accounts, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve
and the long-term impact on the Foundation, in common with other businesses, is unknown. The
Governors have reviewed the position carefully with a view to ensuring the ongoing provision of schooling
for the pupils together with the management of expenditure should income be reduced and have
undertaken various scenario exercises settling on two which include school operational for the year and
a closure ol one month. The financial analysis demonstrates that even under the most pessimistic
scenario the Foundation would not experience any significant financial problems and would be able to
manage the cash flow implications without having to take any further mitigating actions for the year to
2021. In looking ahead lo July 2022 there are a range of additional mitigating actions which The
Foundation could tske to improve the financial situation if required. There are currently significant cash
balances and an investment portfolio should additional liquidity be required through this period of
uncertainty to meet the liabilities as they fall dLJe for the Foundation as a whole.
The Foundation does not anticipate any material reduction in prospective pupil numbers above that
which the Foundation has used for the purposes of financial modelling and forecasting. Accordingly, the
Governors believe the School's financial resources are sufficient to ensure the School will continue as a
EoinE concern for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of the
financial statements and have therefore prepared the financial ststements on the going concern basis.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Foundation's Governors are responsible for the management of the risks laced by the Foundation.
Detailed considerations of risk are delegated to the individual school commillees who are assisted by the
senior management teams. Risks are identified, assessed and controls established throughout the year.
The top ten risks facing the school is a standing item at all committee meetings. A full review of the
charity's risk management process is undertaken on an annual basis at a full Governors, meeting.
The key controls used by the Foundation include formal agendas for all committee and board activity,
comprehensive strategic planning, budgeting and management accounting, an established organisational
structure and lines ol reportinE, formal written policies, clear authorisation and approval levels and vetting
procedures as required by law for the protection of the vulnerable. Through the risk management process
established by the Foundation, The Governors are satisfied that the major risks identified have been
adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reascinable but
not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequ8tely managed.
Not surprisingly, the Governors consider the potential impact of the current Covid-19 crisis as the major
risk facing the Foundation. The schools have considered a number ol different scenarios and assumptions
and are confident that they have strong mitigating actions in place. Both schools coped exceptionally well
with the challenges during the Summer Term and have started 202012 1 with full pupil rolls. The schools
are not complacent and continue to plan for a range of wssible impacts caused by the current crisis.
FUTURE PLANS
The operational plans for the schools for the next five years show 8 good deal of continuity from previcius
years, though the reality of dealing with COVID-19 and the likelihood that thi5 will continue to be a
priority in the coming years means that the first priority of the schools will be to build resilience to
potential external disruption le.g. through a pandemic) in terrns of the acadernie, pastoral and wider
curricular offerings so that, even in extreme, unusual and unpredictable circumstances, we can continue
to offer a distinctive education of extremely high quality whilst protecting the health and safety of all
members of our schools, community.
In addition, the operational plan for The Leys includes the following..
l. Continue our focus to ensure that The Ley5 is recognised as a centre of excellence for two core
academic objectives.. the quality of the continued professional developrnent of our academic staff
and the quality of teaching and learninE at The Leys.
2. Continue to offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities and aspire to high standards both in
the wider curriculum and in the all-round personal development of the pupils.
3. Continue to build links with feeder schools in the independent and maintained sectors and
develop our rmarketing strategies to keep the school full.
4. Continue to strengthen the positive impact of the school in terms of benefit to the wider
community, not least through the future provision of fully-funded places for the most
disadvantaged children.

THE LEYS AND ST FAITH'S SCHOOLS FOUNDATION
(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the accounlinE 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 sourc￿. The estimat￿ 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 TrLJStees, no assumptions conceming the futLJre or estimated uncertainty
affecting asset5 or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment
to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
1.1 S¢hool fees
Fees receivable are ststed after deducting allowances, scholarships and other remissions granted
by the Schools, but include contributions received from Trust Funds.
1.2 Donations, legacies, grants and other voluntsry income
Voluntary income is accounted for as and when entitlement arises, the amount can be reliably
quantified and the economic benefit lo the Schools is considered probable. Donations received
for the general purposes of the Schools are credited to unrestricted funds, lo distinguish them
from direct school income. Donations for purposes restricted by the wishes ol the donor are
taken to Restricted Funds where these wishes are legally binding on The Foundation Trustees,
except that any amounts required to be retained as capital in accordance with the donorfs wishes
are accounted for instead as Endowments, permanent or expendable accordinE to the nature of
the restriction. Grant income is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement, the receipt is
probable and the amount can be reliably measured. There were no perforrllance related
conditions attached to grant income received.
1.3 Investment Income
Investment income from dividends, bank balances and fixed interest securities is accounted for
on an accrual's basis.
1.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, discounted to present value
for longer-term liabilities. Expenditure is allocated to expense headings either on a direct cost
basis or apportioned according to time spent. The irrecoverable element of VAT Is included with
the item of expense to which it relates.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the
charity.
Governance costs cornprise the costs of complying with constitutional and ststutory requirements.

1.5 Intra-group
Intra-group sales and charges between the Foundation and its subsidiary are excluded from
trading income and expenditure.
1.6 Pension costs
The School contributes to two pension schemes as follows..
lal The Teachers, Pension Scheme - This scheme is a multi-employer pension scheme. It is not
possible to identify the Foundation's share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the
Teachers, Pension Scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis and therefore, as required
by FRS102, accounts for the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. The
School's contributions, which are in accordance with the recomrnendations of the
Government Actuary, are charged in the period in which the salaries to which they relate are
payable.
Ibl The Foundation Group Personal Pension Plan - This is a defined contribution group personal
pension plan for both The Leys and St Faith's schools non-teaching staff with Standard Life
Assurance Company Limited. Employers, pensions costs are charged in the period in which
the salaries to which they relate are payable.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
All expenditure on individual tanEible fixed assets over £2,000 is capitalised in the balance sheet
at cost.
Other expenditure on equipment incLJrred in the normal day-to-day running of the two SCh￿IS is
charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.
1.8 Depreciation
Depreciation is provided on a straiEht line basis at rates which are suff icient to write the tangible
fixed assets down to their eslimaled residual value over their estimated useful lives. The
depreciation rates are=
Per Annum
Freehold land
Freehold buildings off site rebuild cost used for depreciation
Freehold buildings on site new build cost used
Freehold buildings on site totsl refurbishment
Buildings on leasehold land
Plant and machinery
Fixtures, fittings and equipment
2Y.
7 - 20 years
Length of lease
10- 20Y.

During the year the Trustees reconsidered the useful economic life of some of the building assets
which has resulted in a change to the estimated lives of these assets and them being written off
over an extended time period. Boarding houses refurbishments will be written off over 15 years.

1.9 Investments
Listed investments are valued at market value as at the balance sheet date. Unrealised gains
and losses arising on the revaluation of investments are credited or charged to the Statement of
Financial Activities and are allocated to the appropriate Fund according to the 'ownership" of the
underlying assets. Investment in the subsidiary is valued at cost less provision for impairment.
i.io stocks
Stocks have been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs lo selll
estimated profit margin.
1.1 l Advanced fee scheme
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 CLJrrent 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.
1. 12 Financial instruments
The Foundation has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that quality as basic financial
instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and
SLJbseqLJently measured at the present value of future cash flows. Financial assets held at

liabilities held al amortised cost comprise bank loans, trade and other creditors. Investments
including cash held as part of the investment portfolio are held al fair value al the Balance Sheet
date, with gains and losses being recognised within income and expenditure.
1. 13 Fund accounting
The charitable trust funds of the Foundation are accounted for as unrestricted or restricted
income, or as endowment capitsl, in accordance with the terms ol trust imposed by the donors
or any appeal to which they rmay have responded. Endowment funds are further sub-divided into
permanent and expendable.
Unrestricted income belonES to the Foundation's corporate reserves.. spendable at the discretion
of the Governors either to further the Foundation's Objects or to benefit the Schools, themselves.
Where the Governors decide to set aside any part of these funds to be used in future for some
specific purpose, this is accounted for by transfer lo the appropriate designated fund.
Restricted income comprises gifts, legacies and grants where there is no capital retention
obligation or power but only a trust law restriction to some specific purpose intended by the
donor.
Permanent endowment arises where a donor intends the gift to be retained permanently for use
by the Foundation for its financial benelit li.e. by Investment). 11 the donor or the terms of an
appeal has restricted the purpose for which the gift or any income from it is to be used, any part
converted into income for spending will accrue to the appropriate restricted fund. The income
on the permanent endowed funds held is used to pay for scholarships and bursaries as per the
wishes of the donors.

(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
Expendable endowment funds are accounted for similarly, except that all capital can be
converted into Income for spending either at the Governors, own discretion or else upon the
happening of some event contemplated by the donor.
1.14 Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charEed lo the Statement ol Financial Activities on a
straight-line basis over the lease term, even if the payments are not made on such a basis unless
the rental payments are structured to increase in line with expected general inflation, in which
case the Foundationlgroup recoEnises annual rent expense equal to amounts owed to the lessor.
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are similarly spread
on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
In January 2018 an accident occurred where a member of staff was injured. In September 2019
the member of staff began a legal case against the school. The school is working with the insurers
on the case.
22.
PENSION SCHEME
The School participates in the Teachers, Pension Scheme I'the TPS'I for its teaching staff. The
pension charge lor the year includes contributions payable to the TPS of £1,597,305 12019..
£1, 121,3731 and at the year-end there was nothing accrued in respect of contributions to this
scheme.
The TPS is an unfunded multi-employer defined benefits pension scheme governed by The
Teachers, Pensions Regulations 2010 las amendedl and The Teachers, Pension Scheme
Regulations 2014 las amendedl. 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 erllployer contribution rate is set by the Secretary ol State following scheme valuations
undertaken by the Government Actuary's Department. The most recent actuarial valuation ol the
TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2016 and the Valuation Report, which was published in
March 2019, confirmed that the employer contribution rate for the TPS would Increase from
16.4/ty to 23.61. from I September 2019. Employers are also required to pay a scheme
administration levy of 0.0810 giving a total employer contribution rate of 23.68 /..
The 31 March 2016 Valuation Report was prepared in accordance with the benefits set out in
the scheme regulations and under the approach specified In the Directions, as they applied at 5
March 2019. However, the assumptions were considered and set by the Department for
Education prior to the ruling in the 'McCloud/SarEeant case,. This case has required the courts
lo consider cases regarding the implementation of the 2015 reforms to Public Setvice Pensions
including the Teachers, Pensions.
On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the government pemission to appeal the Court of
Appeal's judgment that transitional provisions introduced to the reformed pension schemes in
2015 gave rise to unlawful age discrimination. The government is respecting the Court's decision
and has said it will engage fully with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and rnember
representatives to agree how the discriminations will be remedied. A consultation was launched
by the Eovernment on 16 July 2020 and closed to responses on I l October 2020.
The TPS is subject to a cost cap mechanism which was put in place to protect taxpayers against
unforeseen changes in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018
announced that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, in January 2019 announced
a pause to the cost cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal's ruling in the McCloud/Sargeant
case and until there is certainty about the v31LJe of pensions to employees from April 2015
onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020 and the government is preparing to complete the
cost control element of the 2016 valuations, which is expected to be completed in 202 1.
In view of the above rulings and decisions the assumptions used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial
Valuation rnay become inappropriate. In this scenario, a valuation prepared in accordance with
revised benefits and suitably revised assumptions would yield different iesults than those
contained in the Actuarial Valuation.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
Until the consultation and the c05t cap mechanisrn review are completed it is not Possible to
conclude on any financial impact or future changes to the contribution rates of the TPS.
Accordingly, no provision for any additional past benefit pension costs is included in these
financial statements.
The contributions in respect of the support staff defined contribution scheme was £283,513 for
The Leys, and £118, 150 lor St Faith's 12019.. £257,873 and £100,897).
