TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Wycombe Royal Grammar School Foundation CIO for the year 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the CIO Foundation Constitution, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Objectives and activities
Policies and objectives
The objectives of the Charity are to provide benefits for The Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe, including the provision of boarding accommodation for existing pupils, to promote the education of present and former pupils of the school who are in need and to help the School retain and attract the best teachers through development of the estate making available good quality staff accommodation.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
Strategies for achieving objectives
The Charity owns land, which must be retained by the Trustees for the use as an Academy school within the meaning of the Education Acts. A boarding house is leased to the school by the Charity for the provision of boarding facilities for pupils of the school. It has accommodation for 70 boarders. Residential property is made available to teaching and support staff to provide affordable accommodation in close proximity to the School.
Activities undertaken to achieve objectives
A number of award funds are established as part of the Charity to promote education, physical, mental, social, or spiritual capacities of school pupils. Investment income and returns are used to make grants to pupils in accordance with the award rules.
Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit
With its explicit aim of providing benefits for the school that encompass all the pupils, the application of the Charity's resources to enrich the educational provision for all enhances the educative experience that the school provides to the benefit of the totality of pupils. The Trustees confirm that they are careful to have regard to the Commission's Public Benefit Guidance. The Trustees have noted that in the Commission's Guidance on Charitable Purposes, (Charities Act 2006), the activities of the Charity fall firmly inside the parameters of no. 2 the advancement of the education, no. 6 the advancement of the arts and culture, no. 7 the advancement of amateur sport and no. 10 the relief of those in need by reason of youth, age, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
The Charity continues to provide financial resources to enable pupils who might otherwise be prevented for financial reasons from participating in character developing, co curricular activities to engage in such ventures, such help being given without geographical or other restriction and regardless of race or religion. Being part of the State provision for secondary education in Buckinghamshire, the school exists to serve the community at large to the public benefit by providing high quality, challenging and visionary education for all its students, who are admitted without any restriction on ethnicity or religious belief.
The Charity also enriches the educational experience of pupils by refurbishing those parts of the school in need.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Achievements and performance
Review of activities
The main purpose of the Charity is to assist The Royal Grammar School in providing education for the pupils. The Royal Grammar School High Wycombe is a high achieving state school and this is reflected by the 'A' Level and 'GCSE' results achieved each year and the wide range of co-curricular activities it offers.
The Charity raises money each year to provide funds to support the school's budget, for capital and refurbishment projects and for essential maintenance where no other sources of funds exist. In the year ending March 2022 it donated £27,660 (2021: £190,363) to the school for such purposes.
Through the school, the Charity makes its buildings and playing fields available for a wide range of activities and community use, including evening classes, homework clubs, a number of sporting activities and other charity events.
Each year the Foundation sets a budget in consultation with the school, agreed by the trustees, which is used to measure the performance of the Foundation. Rental income is generated from the purchase of 47 Amersham Road so the aim is for the house to be fully occupied to maximise this income stream. Currently all of its rooms are occupied.
Budget compared to actual income and expenditure is used as the primary means for assessing the performance of the Foundation, but there is an intention to establish a strategic plan and develop appropriate metrics so as to measure performance at strategic and operational levels.
Fundraising activities and income generation
The Foundation follows the Code of Practice in Fundraising which covers all the income activities of the Foundation, alongside this, the Foundation follows the Donor Charter. The Foundation is deeply committed to its donors and remains dedicated to treating friends and supporters with the highest level of care and respect. The Donor Charter has been produced to assure donors and potential donors of the integrity and accountability of School's fundraising efforts.
In the year the Charity soft launched its Future Us campaign to raise funds for a new Sixth Form Centre and the Parents Association led a successful crowdfunding campaign. Additionally, although the Charity has closed its successful "Access to Excellence" campaign, it continued to collect previously pledged amounts.
The fundraising process follows an External Relations Strategy of engagement with multiple stakeholder groups, including alumni, parents and other groups/institutions. The key measurables of the strategy include targets for increases in the number of stakeholders donating.at any one time. Continued work has taken place in building an Alumni network, encouraging former students to engage with the School. Work has taken place on a redesign of the Annual Fund, the production and proposed launch of a ‘Foundation’ Website and a Legacy Programme.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Achievements and performance (continued)
Investment policy and performance
The investments held as capital endowments are largely invested in a programme related investment, a property at 47 Amersham Road, available for staff accommodation. The balance of endowment and other investments are held as cash deposits through a cash management platform. These deposits are managed by lnsignis Cash Solutions on an execution only basis which enables the Foundation to gain access to a range of counterparties without having to open a succession of individual bank accounts. It is the Foundation's policy that deposits are only placed with those institutions listed on the lnsignis term sheets that meet agreed "Fitch" credit ratings and also that no more than 20% of total cash balances is held with any single banking institution. The Trustees have full view of the individual banks that the funds are deposited with along with the amounts and the interest rate per cash deposit placement.
Financial review
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the charitable organisation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going-concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going-concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
During the year, Trustees have considered the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which potentially affects rental income, either from tenants or for the Boarding House, and parental and other donations. So far there has not been a materially adverse impact. However, Trustees continue to adopt a cautious approach to expenditure and the funding of new projects
Reserves policy
| The accumulated funds at 31 March | 2022 are £9,675,200 | represented by: |

The reserves policy, which is set in conjunction with the School Governors, is for the unrestricted reserves of the School and the Foundation combined to be no lower than £400,000; within which the Foundation’s unrestricted reserves will be no lower than £350,000.
The designated funds, sales proceeds are earmarked as follows: £400,000 pledged to the Academy in support of Future Us designed to fund the cost of a Sixth Form Centre, and £500,000 towards capital projects identified by the Academy and agreed with the Department of Education.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Financial review
A summary of the year's results can be found on page 13. There was a surplus of £86,385 (2021: deficit £58,707) for the year and after charging depreciation of £178,495 (2021: £170,872) and net loan interest of £10,996 (2021: £10,638).
The Charity's investments generated a gain of £Nil (2021: £Nil) before being transferred to a cash management platform as noted above. Additionally, through management of the Charity's cash resources, interest income of £9,135 (2021: £9,861) was achieved. An investment gain of £nil (2021: £4,000) is included in the accounts to 31 March 2022 arising from the revaluation of investment property.
There were no other significant events affecting the financial performance of the Charity. The main factors affecting the financial position going forward are fundraising and investment performance.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Trustees review risk management annually and have identified three broad areas of risk; financial, investment and reputation.
Financial risk is mitigated through the preparation and review of monthly management accounts and the existence of internal controls. A scheme of financial delegation is approved by Trustees and procedures are in place for the authorisation of all transactions.
Investment risk is managed by the implementation of an investment policy, which is agreed and approved by Trustees annually. This policy sets out an investment strategy, which cannot be changed without agreement at a Trustees meeting. Two signatories are required for all investment related transactions.
The Charity, through its association with The Royal Grammar School, enjoys an excellent reputation in the community. The Charity recognises the importance of maintaining high standards of operation, particularly in its fundraising activities. Consequently, the Charity has put in place, and follows, a Donor Charter and Code of Practice in Fundraising.
Principal funding
The principal funding of the charitable organisation is from rental income, investment income, donations and other fundraising activities.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Structure, governance and management
Constitution
The organisation is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) which was incorporated on 17th July 2018 under number 1179234.
Previously it was a charitable trust governed by a scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 3 November 1999 as amended 22 January 2013. This scheme replaced the former trusts of the charity, a scheme of the Charity Commissioners of 2 April 1962. This charity's registered number was 310627, and The Charity Commission now records its status as a “removed charity”.
The assets and liabilities of the previous charitable trust moved across to the CIO during the year ended 31st March 2020.
Details of the trustees who served throughout the year are included in the Reference and Administrative Details on page 1.
Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The members of the Charity are known as Trustees. Under the requirement of the Constitution, the Trustees are elected to serve for a term of three years after which they must be re-elected annually. The Headmaster of the School and the Chair of the School Governors are Trustees by virtue of their office and their term extends for the period of their appointments. The constitution details a code of practice for the Trustees.
Trustees are recruited from the local community, from parents of present and past pupils and from alumni of the school. Trustees consider the skills which are required and actively look for new members with these skills. New Trustees are appointed by a vote of the Trustees.
Organisational structure and decision-making policies
The Trustees meet four times a year to discuss matters relating to the Charity and they are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the Charity. At present the Board has eight Trustees from a variety of professional backgrounds including a chairman of the board.
A scheme of delegation is in place and the day to day responsibility for the provision of the service rests with the Headmaster of the School.
Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees
Most Trustees are already familiar with the work of the school and are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the Charity and the context in which it operates. Trustees are given the Charity Commission's publication "The essential trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do" as well as an internally prepared document which sets out all aspects of the Charity's structure, organisation and finances.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
Related party relationships
The CIO is related to The Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe, which is an Academy Trust. As an Academy, The Royal Grammar School is a company limited by guarantee and an exempt charity. The Foundation was set up to support the school and make funds available to help with capital projects alongside embarking on specific fund-raising campaigns. Fundraising is also undertaken by "Friends of' groups. These groups undertake various fundraising activities during the year and the proceeds are held in the Foundation's accounts but are ring fenced for use by the associated group. The funds raised provide assistance with operational costs or purchase of assets or building/facility refurbishment.
Plans for future periods
In the current and previous years, the School has undertaken all of the preparatory work to re-purpose an existing school building into a new sixth form centre. In light of the pandemic and the trustees' cautious approach to funding expenditure, this project had been put on hold. A decision to restart the project was approved in January 2022.
Disclosure of information to auditors
Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' Report is approved has confirmed that:
-
so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's auditors are unaware, and
-
that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditors are aware of that information.
Auditors
The auditors, MHA MacIntyre Hudson, have indicated their willingness to continue in office. The designated Trustees will propose a motion reappointing the auditors at a meeting of the Trustees.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable organisation and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable organisation will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable organisation's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable organisation and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the CIO constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable organisation and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WYCOMBE ROYAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION CIO
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Wycombe Royal Grammar School Foundation CIO (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 charity'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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WYCOMBE ROYAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION CIO (CONTINUED)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 10
WYCOMBE ROYAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION CIO
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WYCOMBE ROYAL GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION CIO (CONTINUED)
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 Auditors' 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:
-
Enquiry of management around actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias;
-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
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 Auditors' Report.

Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' 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 charity and its trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Wycombe Royal Grammar School Foundation CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The financial statements are presented in £sterling, the functional currency, rounded to the nearest £1.
2.2 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable organisation and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charitable organisation for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the charitable organisation has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
A number of award funds are established as part of the Charity to promote education, physical, mental, social or spiritual capacities of school pupils. Investment income is used to make grants to pupils in accordance with the award rules. Other grants are made directly to Royal Grammar School High Wycombe.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Going concern
The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate ie whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements, and have concluded that the charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements
2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on other assets is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
| Freehold property | - over 50 years |
|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - over 5 years |
| Computer equipment | - over 3 years |

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.8 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably..
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charitable organisation anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
2.9 Financial instruments
The charitable organisation only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value.
2.10 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charitable organisation; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.11 Investment property
Investment properties are initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value at the reporting date. Gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.
2.12 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
