St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2024

The trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for St Olave’s & St Saviour’s Schools Foundation CIO for the year ended 31 March 2024 and confirm that the financial statements are compliant with statutory requirements, the Constitution dated 4 February 2019 and the Charities SORP “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).

Structure, Governance and Management

St Olave’s and St Saviour’s Schools Foundation CIO is registered in the United Kingdom as a Charity with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, registration number 1181857.

There are up to eighteen trustees, appointed by resolution of the trustees to the Court (the Board). Each trustee is appointed for a term of three years. At 31 March 2024, there were 12 trustees. During the period under review, Ms Bell and Mr Rothwell retired from the Court; the Court acknowledges with appreciation their service to the Foundation. The Court was pleased to welcome, as new trustees, Mrs Long, appointed in her role as Chair of Governors of St Saviour's School and who remained as a trustee for the period she served in this position, and Mr Smith.

New trustees are sought to ensure the skills and experience identified as being required by the Charity are adequately represented. Trustees identified the academisation of schools as a critical skill and have appointed an individual with relevant expertise in this area to the Court. Induction courses are offered to new trustees and refresher courses, by professional advisers and others, are provided to all trustees as and when it is considered appropriate.

The Court of trustees meets twice a year and sets the overall policies and strategy of the Charity. It reviews the ongoing activities of the Charity and considers reports and recommendations from the Finance & General Purposes Committee and the Foundation Fund Committee. Each Committee operates under terms of reference agreed by the Court of trustees.

The Court has adopted an investment policy to allocate assets between real estate and stock market securities. The Charity employs investment managers to look after the financial investment portfolios and a firm of Chartered Surveyors to advise on and manage the investment properties. All professional advisers are listed on pages 1 and 2.

During 2023-24 and in accordance with the Foundation’s policy of reviewing its professional advisers on a cyclical basis, the management of the Charity’s investment portfolio was put out to competitive tender, resulting in the re-appointment of Rathbones Investment Management Ltd together with the transfer of the St Olave's School Trust Funds to CCLA Fund Managers Ltd.

The Charity’s professional investment advisers are invited to attend the Finance & General Purposes Committee at least twice a year, to review the current position of each portfolio and to facilitate scrutiny by the trustees. The Chief Executive meets with the advisers on a regular basis during the year to monitor progress and to discuss potential changes or developments.

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2024

The Finance & General Purposes Committee, which meets four times a year, is responsible, with the Chief Executive, for the administration, approval and monitoring of budgets, the level of grants and investments. The Court’s objective is to maintain the Foundation’s capital in real terms whilst setting target income returns for the investments, as follows:

Unrestricted Funds: total return basis. In 2023-24, the income achieved was 2.4% of the opening capital value of the investments. The closing capital value resulted in unrealised gains of 4.8% (£115k) (2022-23: loss of £199k).

After the year end and following the Epsom property being vacated, trustees took the decision to sell this property.

The Foundation Fund Committee is responsible for the grant making decisions for the distribution of the Foundation Fund. Grants are available for approved educational purposes and requests are invited from organisations working with young people in the London Borough Southwark, or young people under the age of 25 and resident in Southwark. The Fund Committee meets four times per year.

Responsibility for the day-to-day running of the Foundation is delegated by the Court to the Chief Executive.

Remuneration of the Chief Executive is reviewed by the Warden and Sub-Warden each year in conjunction with the annual performance review, which takes into account the performance of the Foundation against benchmarks and the external environment.

The Headteachers of St Saviour’s School and St Olave’s Grammar School, the two School beneficiaries of the Foundation, report half-yearly to the Court. As with all schools, whilst Covid 19 had an overwhelming impact on the day-to-day operation of both Schools during the lockdown period, the impact on students remains even now and the Schools continue to work hard to mitigate this. Trustees wish to acknowledge their appreciation and to offer their congratulations to the Headteachers, members of the Senior Leadership Teams and all staff for the way they continued to provide students with both learning and pastoral support and the excellent academic results they have both achieved.

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2024

Fundraising

The Charity does not actively seek donations from the general public and is not registered with the Fundraising regulator but it is, however, very grateful for donations received either directly or by its individual School beneficiaries.

Risk Statement

The trustees have adopted a risk assessment which is monitored and reviewed annually by the Finance & General Purposes Committee, before recommendation to the Court.

Recognising the increase in Cyber crime, trustees and staff undertake Cyber training every other year, as this remains a key area of risk for all organisations.

As indicated above, the loss of a commercial tenant in Putney High Street had a significant impact on income in 2023-24 and will do so again in 2024-25.The Foundation’s time horizon is long-term, and volatility in capital values of properties and investments will not impact on the viability of the organisation in the short-term.

Public Benefit

Trustees have reviewed the activities of the Charity in respect of public benefit as set out in the Charity Commission’s guidance to report on public benefit and are satisfied that the funding to the beneficiaries in the form of the two State Schools and to young people in Southwark, provides tangible public benefit to the community. Therefore, they are satisfied that the Foundation meets the definition of a charity as defined by the Charity Commission.

Further details are given in the following sections.

Objectives, Policies, Activities and Achievements

The objectives of the Charity and its grants policy are to promote education in the two beneficiary Schools and to assist the education of young people in Southwark. The Charity takes the surplus (before grants and after depreciation of the Schools' Land and Buildings) from the previous financial year and allocates it to grant giving in the current year:

The above is reviewed annually in the light of financial performance and at the discretion of the trustees. Trustees have agreed to maintain the level of distribution to the Schools at the same level for a number of years, in spite of reduced income, in order to assist in their future planning. Where the surplus for the year is insufficient to cover this level of grant, resources are taken from unrestricted reserves.

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2024

The Foundation owns most of the land and buildings occupied by each of the two Schools. Both Schools are Church of England Schools with Voluntary Aided Status and receive funding from the relevant Local Authority and Diocesan Boards of Education, to whom they can apply for capital funding. During the year, the Foundation continued to support the activities of the two Schools for their general costs and items not covered by funding from the Local Authority or the Diocesan Boards. The Schools and their governing bodies are independent of the Foundation.

The Foundation’s aim is to ensure that the maximum amount of money (within the grants policy) is available to each School to support their activities, as prioritised by their headteachers. There are few conditions attached to the funding provided to the Schools and it is accepted that the senior leadership teams are best placed to allocate resources to achieve the greatest impact on the education of the students.

Grants to beneficiaries during the year were £806,202 (2023: £804,313).

In addition to the grant of cash, the Foundation’s staff work directly with the two Schools, providing, at no cost to the Schools, services such as the Clerk to the Governors, administrative and other advice and guidance. It is estimated, based on staff time spent, that around £100k of the Foundation’s overall expenditure of £170k on Office and Staff Costs, represents a “grant in kind” to the Schools.

The Foundation Fund Committee makes grants to young people up to the age of 25 in Southwark for educational purposes and to organisations in the London Borough of Southwark, which involve young people and where there is need of financial assistance. Details of the grants made are shown in note 6 to the financial statements.

The Foundation’s staff work closely with local organisations which facilitate the development of young people and directly with individuals themselves, to encourage applications from those who would most benefit from Foundation funds. Having made contact with potential new applicants, where possible, meetings are held to discuss their needs and assistance is given to ensure that applications to the Fund Committee fully meet the Foundation’s criteria.

Where potential applicants do not meet the Fund’s criteria, they may be directed to other funders; Southwark Funders, a group of charities which provide grants within the London Borough of Southwark and which meets on a periodic basis to discuss how their various grant schemes can be targeted to those most in need of assistance.

The trustees of the Foundation hold a number of bequests made to each School (see note 18) on their behalf and make available the income generated on these for use by the Schools in accordance with the terms of the individual trust deeds. These funds are invested and held in the name of the relevant School or the name of the trust.

Other than the trustees, the Foundation does not utilise the services of volunteers with the exception of four non-trustees who serve on the Foundation Fund Committee.

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2024

Financial Policy and Review

Overall, income has seen a decrease of 1% (2023: increase 10%); expenditure has increased significantly due to the costs of managing the investment properties and Greendale playing fields. In order to ensure that the distribution to the beneficiaries does not reduce and recognising the depreciation on the value of the school assets, trustees have again agreed to draw on unrestricted reserves to make up the deficit in income over expenditure. The surplus on unrestricted funds in 2023-24 led to a £42k increase (2023: deficit £46k) in unrestricted funds at 31 March 2024 in spite of the drawdown for grants. Permanent endowment funds have increased by £271k (2023: £2.8m).

Trustees are confident that the Foundation remains a going concern.

The major sources of income during the year were property rents £840,192 (2023: £828,392), an increase of 1.4% due to better residential rents. Commercial rental income decreased by 6% to £440,479 (2023: £470,592), arising from the void and non-payment rents. Dividends and interest income decreased to £207,449 (2023: £233,909). Donations of £263,968 (2023: £264,652) were received, the vast majority of which came from The Dulwich Estate (a charity founded in 1619, under which the Foundation is entitled to a share of that charity’s annual net income): 2024: £251,468 (2023: £239,652) and a further very generous donation to the St Saviour’s School Undergraduate Fund of £12,500 (2023: £25,000).

The overall deficit on Unrestricted Funds for the period, after administrative costs and grant making, totalled £72,953 (2023: surplus £152,751), before net realised and unrealised gains of £115,196 (2023: losses £198,723) on investment assets.

The Charity provides contributions to staff stakeholder pensions and hence has no pension liability at the year end. The Charity maintains unrestricted, restricted and expendable and permanent endowment reserves. For a full explanation, please see note 18.

The Charity has a policy of paying suppliers on receipt of invoices. Therefore, most are paid within one week of receipt or the resolution of any queries. Due to the limited number of staff and trustees, absence of one person can delay a small number of payments to 2-3 weeks, but well within the 30 day generally accepted payment period.

Reserves Policy and Future Plans

The Charity had a net increase of £42,243 on its Unrestricted Funds resulting in a balance of £2,563,836 (2023: £2,521,593) on these reserves.

The trustees’ grants policy is to maximise the distribution of income to the two School beneficiaries each year, only holding back sufficient funds for the running costs of the Foundation and, via the depreciation on the fixed assets, to allow sufficient capital accumulation to replace assets as necessary. The operating surplus for the year is allocated in full to beneficiaries in the following financial year. However, following a deficit on the unrestricted income less depreciation, trustees have agreed to maintain the distribution level to the two School beneficiaries from unrestricted reserves.

The Unrestricted Funds include the amounts yet to be allocated to the School beneficiaries.

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2024

The Endowment Funds are to generate income for future distribution and, through Unrestricted Funds, to fund emergency requirements at either of the Schools. The annual depreciation charge allows this reserve to be built up. Permanent Endowment Funds must be maintained (with only the income generated thereon being distributable).

Trustees continue to discuss with the Foundation’s investment managers as to how the income return on the Permanent Endowment portfolio might be increased to reach the target of 3% whilst maintaining growth. They have asked the investment managers to review the portfolio with this in mind and forecasts indicate 3.2% for 2024-25. The Unrestricted Fund is managed on a total return basis.

Trustees have assessed whether the Foundation remains as a going concern, for the foreseeable future and for at least a further 12 months. The Charity has cash reserves amounting to seven months of anticipated overhead expenditure and Foundation Fund grant giving. Rental and investment income and funds from The Dulwich Estate, together with the possibility of selling financial investments, ensure that cash flows would be sufficient to meet all normal expenditure and to ensure that the school grants can be distributed as required. Trustees are confident that the Foundation remains a going concern for the foreseeable future.

The Foundation holds, freehold, land at Greendale in Dulwich designated as playing fields for the Foundation’s Schools and used by St Saviour’s School. However, due to the distance and cost of transporting students from the New Kent Road to the site, in recent years, the fields have not been in regular use. From 1 April 2021, St Saviour's School, which had been managing the fields, passed them back to the Foundation to look after. The Foundation instigated a programme of maintenance and repairs which, in conjunction with a short-term letting to a local football club, has resulted in an improvement in the condition of the fields together with the former caretaker’s house being refurbished and offered as accommodation for teaching staff from St Saviour’s School. Works continue to the pavilion and fencing around the perimeter. In consultation with the Dulwich Estate (which has a covenant over the land) and others, the Foundation is considering how the playing fields can reasonably continue to be made available for use by the Schools of the Foundation, together with others in the community, for wider sports and ancillary activities.

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with 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).

Independent auditors' report

To the trustees of

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

▪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 Auditor’s 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 UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the 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.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

10

Independent auditors' report

To the trustees of

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of the trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out in the trustees’ report, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they 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.

Our 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 auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

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

11

Independent auditors' report

To the trustees of

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

(1) We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, and assessed the risk of non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Throughout the audit, we remained alert to possible indications of non-compliance.

(2) We reviewed the charity’s policies and procedures in relation to:

(3) We inspected the minutes of trustee meetings.

(4) We enquired about any non-routine communication with regulators and reviewed any reports made to them.

(5) We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and assessed their compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

(6) We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected transactions or balances that may indicate a risk of material fraud or error.

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. Irregularities that arise due to fraud can be even harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

1. Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools 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 note.

These financial statements encompass all the activities and assets of the Charity, including most of the land and buildings for St Saviour’s School (Southwark) and St Olave’s Grammar School (Orpington). However, they do not include the income, expenditure and associated assets and liabilities of either School as these are the responsibility of the Schools themselves.

b) Going concern basis of accounting

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the Charity is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

c) Income

Income is recognised when the Charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised when the Charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the Charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the Charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Income received in advance of provision of rental property is deferred until criteria for income recognition are met.

Interest on funds held on deposit, dividends and other investment income are included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity. This is normally upon notification of the amounts paid or payable by the bank or investment managers.

d) Funds accounting

Permanent endowment funds are held in perpetuity as capital investment assets in line with the terms of the endowment. All income derived from the permanent endowment fund is, in the first instance, unrestricted.

17

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

d) Funds accounting (continued)

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the Charity's work.

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the Charity.

e) Linked charities

The Charity is the corporate trustee of a number of linked charities and trust funds held on behalf of the two Schools of the Charity. These funds are of no beneficial interest to the Charity and are held as investments, cash and liabilities (grants payable) to the Schools. Income from the investments is treated as restricted funds upon receipt, accumulated as grants payable and immediately made available to the Schools on demand against the approved objectives of the funds. Gains or losses arising from changes in investment value are charged against the restricted fund.

f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

g) Grants payable

Grants payable are charged in the year in which the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attached have been fulfilled. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the Charity.

h) Allocation of support and governance costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the Charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the Charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the Charity’s activities, including costs related to statutory audit and legal fees together with direct costs of meetings.

Support and governance costs have been allocated between charitable activities based on the estimated proportion of staff time spent on each activity as follows:

ortion of staff time spent on each activity as follows:
2024 2023
Schools 90% 90%
Supporting young people in Southwark 10% 10%

No support and governance costs are allocated to raising funds on the basis that the majority of activity is carried out directly by the Charity's investment managers.

18

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

i) Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Freehold land and buildings 2% per annum Property improvements 20% per annum Furniture and fittings 10% per annum Computer hardware 20% - 33% per annum

Freehold land and buildings relate to land and buildings added by the Charity to St Olave's Grammar School and St Saviour's School. The Charity holds these assets for charitable purposes and these are occupied by the Schools. Depreciation on these assets is charged to the permanent endowment. For assets acquired for Charity use, depreciation is charged to the unrestricted fund.

Individual items costing under £5,000 are not capitalised but the cost is written off in the year of purchase.

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

j) Heritage assets

The Charity holds heritage assets, which are tangible fixed assets of historical, artistic or scientific importance that are held to advance the preservation and conservation objectives of the Charity. Newly purchased heritage assets are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.

The works of art, which are considered to be heritage assets, were valued for insurance purposes by W & F C Bonham & Sons Limited at 31 March 2006 and after a review in 2018, trustees were of the view that the market value had diminished and reduced the value accordingly. Trustees are of the view that the market value has not changed further.

The very long expected life of the works of art, due to their nature, value, and need to be protected and preserved, means that depreciation is not material and is, therefore, not provided. The trustees will review its value at the end of each financial accounting period and consider whether there has been any impairment in its value at which point an impairment charge will be processed.

k) Investment property

Investment property is property (land or a building, or both) held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both.

Investment property is initially measured at cost when purchased. Investment property is subsequently measured at fair value at the reporting date. This method of valuation applies to all the Charity’s investment properties. Valuations are undertaken by a RICS registered surveyor on a 3 year basis, with trustee valuations undertaken in the interim.

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are included in net profit or loss on the face of the Statement of Financial Activities for the period in which they arise.

19

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

l) Financial investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price.

The Charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.

The main form of financial risk faced by the Charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.

All realised gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.

m) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

n) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash 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. Cash held by investment managers for the purposes of re-investment is included within financial investments on the balance sheet.

o) Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

p) Financial instruments

The Charity 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.

q) Pension costs

The Charity makes contributions to stakeholder pension plans of staff members. There are no further liabilities other than that already recognised in the SOFA.

r) Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities as they fall due.

20

St Olave's & St Saviour's Schools Foundation CIO

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

1. Accounting policies (continued)

s) Accounting estimates and key judgements

In the application of the Charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are as follows:

Depreciation

As described in note 1i to the financial statements, depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life.

It has not been possible to establish the original cost of the land, which was purchased many years ago, so the total cost of freehold land and buildings is subject to depreciation.

Investment properties

The valuation is of investment property is deemed to be the market value of the land and buildings, as determined by a RICS registered surveyor.

t) Intellectual property

The Foundation holds intellectual property rights over the logos of the Foundation and each of the two Schools. These are to protect the logos and to ensure that these are not exploited for commercial purposes. The rights are held at zero value.

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

18. Movements in funds (continued)

Purpose of permanent endowment funds

These funds represent the long-term endowment of the Foundation and only the income can be distributed. These are held in investment property and financial investment assets.

Purpose of expendable endowment funds

These funds represented the land and buildings occupied by the Schools. During the year the trustees reviewed the classification as expendable endowment and concluded that, based on the best historic information available, it was more appropriate to carry these assets as permanent endowment funds. They have therefore been transferred to permanent endowment funds this year.

Purposes of restricted funds

These funds represent the assets of linked charities, held on trust by the Foundation on behalf of the Schools. Their purpose was restricted at the time of the gift. The Schools are the ultimate beneficiaries of these funds. The income from the funds is allocated to the Schools and provided for in the grants payable to the Schools. The capital is not available for drawdown.

The WG Rushbrooke Trust relates to St Olave's Grammar School. The Marguerite Waller Prize Fund and the St Saviour's Undergraduate Fund relate to St Saviour's School.

In 2022-23, recognising that for some of the funds, the purpose had not been fulfilled in living memory, the St Olave's School funds were consolidated into the WG Rushbrooke Trust, to enable the income to be used to achieve the objectives of the funds where possible, but for the benefit of the School, where not. The following St Olave's School bequests are followed where possible:

George Dyson Prize Fund

To endow an annual prize to be known as the George Dyson prize for Chemistry, to be awarded to a pupil of St Olave's Grammar School or failing that for any purpose which the Headmaster deems fit provided also that it shall be for the benefit of the School.

Paul Slade Prize Fund

To endow an annual prize to be known as the Paul Slade prize for Physics, to be awarded to a pupil of St Olave's Grammar School or failing that for any purpose which the Headmaster deems fit provided also that is shall be for the benefit of the School.

Gridley Prize Fund

Establishment of lectures and prizes for the study of poetry.

Sanders Prize Fund

Provision of two prizes to be given in the sixth form, one for classics and the other for an English composition in prose or verse on some literary subject.

Green Prize Fund

Provision of a yearly prize for the writing of the best, humorous, short story in a competition.

Davis Bequest

Income to be used to help any poor scholars.
