Publ1¢ benefft
Tre Trustees refer to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public ben8fit wh8n review￿ the charity's
objectives and in planning for fvture activities, yiving full consideration to how planned activities will contribute to Ihg
Trust's aims and objecti￿8.
Assist8d Places zre an important means of Midening access to KEHS for academically able girts whose farnilie5 are
Un8ble to afforrl the cost of school fees. By widening acce5S to all giAs with the tolent to flourish al KEHS, Assisted
Places facilitate social mobility in the region. They gnable r8cipients to make the tnost of their talents as a result ol a
KEHS education, prDwding a public benefi't both to the individuals who re￿1ve funding and the sO￿etY the r8cipienls
go Dn to serve, whatever theirchosen PTofessi0￿.
Fundraising for Assisled Places is inextricably linked to the School's outrea¢h and markèting, 811 designed lo ensure
that aspiration5 to attend KEHS are raised acr05S the ￿gIOn. Outrea¢h activities led by teaching staff target both
primary and secondary schools, enabling a g￿ater awareness of what a KEHS education can provid8 and 8nsuring
that girls from 8 wide range of backgrounds feel the School is a place for them. KEHS has more than 60 schools in its
ouli6ach network. In Autumn 2020, during the pandemic re5tridions, KEHS laun¢h8d Tuneup Tuesday- an online
one-day 'arts school,, available free ol charge to any school who wanted to participate. This outreach project was
designed to show the benefit of the arts to mental health and youth w811beittg, and the range ol interesting and
rewarding careers in th& sector. Mor& than 440 schools r8gi8te18d to take part, iepr888nting over 100,000 studonts
8ged 4-18.
Donations in support of Assisted Places ensure that th8 aspirations raised by outreach aCti￿1ty can be made a iealty.
This is espe&ally important fof increasing a¢￿$ to KEHS from groups who might not othemse consider the School
as a place for th8m, for a variety of social and cultural reasons.
Assisted P5￿$ also help lo reverse history. sin￿ the demise of the Direct Grant sy8tém which èxlsted bètween 1944
and 1979. the School's population has swung from 80°h of pupils on Direct Gr8nts. to just 20¥0 of girfs on A8SiSted
Place5. In 2020. 648 girl8 registered for the 8ntranc8 exarnination thattook plaTr in October2020 (for September 2021
entry). Of those 56_79% asked for fee r8missioTr Thare w8re 39 applications for Assisted Pla￿ in the top 150 on the
Order ol Merit. Twelve weip initially offered funding anL1 later, one girl from the A8sisted Place waitinu list acC8pt￿l an
off8r. A total ol nlne Assisted pla￿ offers were a¢￿pted for entry to the Thirds.
The Trust sought to address this with Ihg D8Iyv81e fundraising campaign for Assi5t8d Plac8s, which la*Jnch6d in
June 2017 8t the House of Lords, to promote this goal and attract new supporter8 to donate.
By September 2020 when DgIyw81e concluded. the Ttust created 27 new Assi5tEd PIATrs for entry to the Thirds or to
Lower Sixth. The majority of these were sponsored by indivKlual donors, whose commitment to acce55ibility has
been key to ensuring all bright girfs can consider a future here. FourAssisted Pl¥£s have since been agreed for 2021
ThToughout Delyvere, student fundraising fnr Regular Direct Debit and single gifts has also been 8 k9y part of our
strategy. Our 2018 Tes Fundraising Initiative ol the Ye8r Award recognised the enthusiasm and d8dicalion of t
siudent tearn. embedding student gngagemÈnt wthin our campaign for Assisted Pla￿$.

With Dewere now concluded, the Trust ￿11 consider its n8Xt st8P8. The Trusys role in providing educational
opportunitie5 for all
not just those who can afford lo att8nd KEHS - sends a powerful message to families of all
backgrounds. Assislgd Plac8s will remain at the heart ol its work.
The Trust's fijndraising helps talented gids to access an outst8nding. truly life-changing education. This is e￿￿en￿d
in the School's academic f8Sults', in 2020's GCSE8, 94% grades came in at 9-7 or A"IA equivalent, 46% of the y8ar
8chi8ved at182St eight grade 9$ and 2D girls secured grade 9 all 5ubjectsl A Level Te5uIts were equally impres$ivg,
with a remarkable 48Vo grades at A,, the highest perTrntage sinTr the A. grade w&s introduced. and 87% at A'IA.
These stati%tlcs illustrate how Asslst6d PI8c6s lay strong foundations for the future.
Th8 KEHS curriculum enables girls on Assisted Places to build upon their individual 8tronglhs and ts18nts. The
Cuniculum is regularty rewewed and uptsat6d to incorporate national developments and girls are encouraged to take
every opportunity tobro8dèn th8ir188ining experience and explore a wid& range of unusual opts"ons. Links to lrte onlinè
iesources, such a8 the Harvard and Yale courses, are available via the School's w6bsit8 8nd mver subjects including
coding and thg moral foundations of politics. KEHS also eoordinates a PTograrnme of iesearch seminars, where
stvdents present ac&d6mic tesearch papers to a panel of in￿led guests including a¢ademi¢s, teachers and fellow
students. These ie50uices are particular￿ helpful for git18 on Assisted Places, who May be from backgrounds whieh
lack the Cultural caprtal of their peers. Throughout U)e pandemic, the School has offeied a serie8 of onlin818ctures with
eminent speakers, culminating in a Political Awarenes5 Week just before facs-lo-lacg schooling resumed in March.
Without Assisted Places, talenbd 9irfs ￿ykI miss otrt on thi5 exposure and chance to develop addib.onal skills and
Inslghts.
The extracurrioJlar offer complements the Curricul￿M by helping girfs to develop the soft skills valued by future

activthes each week, including tOFkdass musi¢-making. dance drarna, 311 run by highly-qualifi8d stsff or outside
experts. Othgropts'ons include Debating, Ceramics, Lifesawiftg, Modol United Nations, P8rtorrnance Poetry, Digital Arts,
Symphony Orchestrs and G6mi8n Club.
Many of thes8 unique offerings provide girls wth the chance to flourish in subjects which rnay oth8nMs8 be off4imits.
For instsnce, KEHS offers GCSE Astionomy. The conb"nu8d populanty of this coursg reflects a wder strength In
sckno across the school corntnunity, bucking a nats'onal gender imbalance in STEM subjects. KEHS girls ar8
encoursged to lollowtheir interests unfettered by gender st6reotyp6s, going on to populate n8tior181 pip81ines of f8ma18
S¢igntifio talent and serve as role models for subsèquènt getEerations of girfs.

Reasonable assuran￿ is £ high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in ac£ordance with
ISAS IUKI will always detset a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and
are collsidered Material if. indiifjdually orin the aggregate, theycould reasonably beexpected to inffu8ncéth8 econornic

The specific procedures lor this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregulariiie5,
including fiaud Sie detailed below-.
Our assessrnent focussed on key laws and regulations the group and parent charitable company has to oJTrply with
and areas ol the finanaal statements we assessed as being more SU$￿ptib1e to misstatement These key laws and
regulatlLK15 incILEded bul wer& not lirnited to compliance with the Charitie5 Ad 2011. Tiustee Act 2000, Charities

We are not responsible for preventirKJ Irregularities. Our approach to detectlrKJ irregularft￿s included, but was not

obtaining an unders12nding Df thè legal and regulatory framèwork applicable b the group and Parent charitabl

8gr88ment of finan￿8] 5tatem8nt di8c1osur8S to undertying docurnentation and othèr avidence,.
obtaining an understsrKlirKJ of the group and parènt charitable companys control environment and how the group
and parent ch8ritsble ¢omp8ny havg applied re18vanl control proc8dur8s, through di5CU85ions with Tru51ees and

obtaining an understanding of the group and parent charitable company's risk as8e85rnellt pro￿8, induding the
risk ol fraud.,
rewewing meeting minutes of thos6 charged with g0veman￿ throughout th6 year, and
perfoFming audit testing to address the risk of man8gem8nl override of ￿ntrOlS. including testing jaurnal entrie

iilst considering how our audit work addressed the detection of irregularities. we also considered the likelihood ol
