lo provide a clear, simple an¢Y effective managemenl structure capable of making timely decisions an¢J allocating

lo provide the necessary administrative and logistic framework lo meet the needs of members of staff and pupils
alike.
The aims and objectives sel lor the School's subsKliary, SJCSI. are lo facilitate the achievemenl of Ihe School's aims
and objectives as above.
Strategles to support the achievement of the primary objectives
The Governing Body agreed that any major initiatives would be considered over the four-year period 2022 10 2026.
subject lo available funding. In addition lo conlinuing lo slrenglhen the School's pastor31 care and leaching and learning,
the Governing Body have identified seven main areas lo meet Iheir primary obieclives..
arkgting- a focus on markeling in the medium term is required lo give the School greater control over pupil
numbers by reducing as much uncertainty as possible In the admissions process and increasing enquiries.
Bursaries. Governors are committed lo improvin9 accessibility through building an endowment lo finance
bursaries in the future. This endowrnenl is lo be built through fundraising.
Diversity, Inclusion and Eqully. The Schcd is committed lo being as diverse, inclusive and equitable as
possible in all 11 undertakes
Environmenlal $uslainability'. The School is commilled lo being as environmentally sustainable as possible
and will work lo build a strategy lo meet this aim in Ihe short term.
Partnership and outrèach." The School is already committed lo partnership and oulreach work which il wishes
lo expand. particularly in the local community.
Facllltiès.. The Governor5 wish lo ensvre Ihal the facililies remain as good as possible lo help deliver a high
standard ol education. There is a pressing need lo rebuild or relurbish the swimming pool and the cost will be
mel through fundraising.
Relatlonshlp with St John's College. the goc*Y relationship wilh Sl John's College is fundamental lo the School
succeeding and achieving ils aims and obieclives.
During the 2022 - 2023 academ￿ year. Ihe School focused on.. marketing. by slarting lo update the School's website,.
bursaries. by laying Ihe loundalion for a fundraising campaign for a Bursary Endowment Fund. Including selling up a
steering commillee.. and the area of Diversity, Inclusion and Equity working alongside consullanls Equalileach and
establishing a steering committee lo work through the recommendations made.
Public benefit
The Governors are mindful of the long.standing need lo provide public benefil and ol the requirements of the Charities
Acl 2011 and. in selling the School aims and objeclives and planning the School's aclivilies. Ihe Governors have
considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benelil.
The School actively supports the allainment of the highest standards of educalion through rigorous and continuous
evaluation of quality and performance. the applicalion of best practice and a widespread desire lo improve slandards.
The School cooperates with local charities an¢J educalional bodies in ils ongoing endeavours lo widen public access to
the schooling it provides, lo oplimise the use ol ils cultural and sportin9 lacilities and to awaken in ils pupils an awareness
ol the social context of the all-round education they receive at the School.
The School remains eommilted lo Ihe aim ol providing public benefil in accordance with Ils founding principles. Charity
legislation includes a requiremenl lo demonslfale Ihal public benefil lof any charilable purpose where il had hitherto
been presumed in Ihe absence ol evidence lo the conlrary. This calls in turn lor commensurate disclosure of ils public
benefit aims.
The aw8rding of bursaries for those Ihal mi9ht othe￿ise nol be able lo allend or where families might need lo withdraw
their children from Ihe school for financial reasons Is a measurable means of providin9 public benefit. The Governors
lake the view that bursaries awarded lo those who would nol olherwise be able lo afford the lees are important. but not
lo the exclusion of the much wider benefit that the School provides within Ihe community. Those pupils who allend the
school and who receive financial support contribute lo Ihe school community in a variety of ways. and so the benefit is
not purely lo these pupils bul to the whole School and. in some eases. lo the wider community. This year the School
awarded bursaries and scholarships tolalling £573k lo 36 pupils. Within Ihis means-lesled awards based on linarlcial
circumstances tolalling £196k We￿ awarded lo 16 pupils ir)duding 11 for full fees.

Endowed funds
The school's endowment consists of numerous individual grfls. legacies and grants given to the School over many years

that the funds shall not be spent immediately bul should be retained lor the medium or long term. Where the retention
of capital is explicitly indicated and Ihere is no power lo exper)d capital as income, the capital is shown as permanent
endowment, otherwise as expendable endowmenl. In bolh cases income arising is shown as restricted funds These
funds are invested in the Sl John's College consolidaled Trusi Fund, which is a pooled portfolio of stocks and shares,
and cash. These funds are controlled and managed by Ihe College. therefore the School does nol have any influence
over the inveslmenl performance of Ihe funds.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ST JOHN'S COLLEGE
SCHOOL, CAMBRIDGE (continued)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light ol the knowledge ané understanding of the charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of
the audit, we have nol identified material misslalemenls in the directors reporl included within the Iruslees. report.
We have nothing lo report in respect of the following mallers in relation lo which the Companies Act 2006 requires us
lo reporl lo you if. in our Opin￿rI..
adequate and proper accounting records have ￿t been kept.. or
the financial slalemenls are not In agreement wilh the accounting records and returns,. or
certain disclosures ol Iruslees. remuneration specified by law are nol made.. Of
we have not received all the information and explanalions we require for our audit.
Responslbllltles of tfustèès
As explained more fully in Ihe Iruslees, responsibilities slalement. the Iruslees (who are also the directors of the
charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for Ihe preparation ol the financial slalemenls
and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as Ihe Iruslees determine Is
necessary lo enable Ihe preparalion of financial slalemenls that are free from malerial misslalemenl, whelhe¥ due lo
fraud or error.
In preparing the financ￿1 slalemenls, the trustees are responsible fof assessing Ihe charitable company's ability lo
continue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable. matters related lo going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounling unless the Iruslees either Intend to Iiquidale Ihe charitable company or lo ￿ase operations, or have
no realistic allernalive bul lo do so.
Audltor's responslbllltles for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial slalemenls as a whole are free ffom
material misstalemenl, whelher due lo fraud or error. and lo issue an auditor's repK)rl that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. bul is not a guaranlee Ihal an audit conducted In accordance with
ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material misslalemenl when il exisls. Misstalemenls can arise from fraud or error and
are considered material If, Individually or In Ihe a9gregale. they could reasonably be expecled lo influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slalemenls.
Details ol Ihe exlenl lo which the audit was considered capable of detecting Jrregularilies, including fraud and non-
ompliance with laws and regulalions are sel out below.
A further description ol Our responsibilities lor Ihe audit of the financial slalemenls is located on the Financial Reporting
Council's website al.. www.frc.or
.uklauditorsres
nsibililies. This description forms parl of our audilor's report.
Extent to which thg audit was considered capable of dotècting irrègularities, Includlng fraud
Irre9ularilies, including fraud. are instances ol n0n-comp1iar￿e with laws and regulations. We Identified and assessed
the risks of material misslalemenl ol the financial slalemenls from irregularilies. whelher due lo fraud or error, and
discussed Ihese between our audit team members. We then designed ar)d performed audit procedures responsive lo
those risks, including obtaining audit e¥￿ence sufficient and appropriale lo provide a basis for oui opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal arKJ regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operales,
focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on Ihe delerminalion of material amounts and disclosures
In the financial slalemenls. The laws and regulations we considered in this conlexl were the Companies Act 2006,
legislalion. togelher with the Chariltes SORP IFRS 1021. We assessed the required Complian￿ with these laws and
regulations as part of our audil procedures on the related financial statemenl ilems.
In ad¢Yilion. we considered provisions of other laws and regulalions that do not have a direcl effecl on the financial
51alemenls bul compliance with which might be fundamental to Ihe charilable company's ability to operate or lo avoid a
material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and Incentives that may exist within the charitable company for
fraLJd. The laws and regulations we considered In this contexi for the UK operations were The Educalion Ilnéependenl
School Standards) Regulations 2014.
Page | 13

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ST JOHN'S COLLEGE
SCHOOL, CAMBRIDGE (continued)
Audiling standards limit the required audit procedures to identrfy n0n40mpliar￿e with Ihese law5 and regulations lo
enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspeclK)n of regulalory and legal correspondence, if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impacl on the financial siatemenls from irregularilies, including fraud, lo be
within the liming and recognit￿n of non-fee income, procurement processes for significant capital projects and the
override of controls by management. Ouf audit procedures lo respond lo these risks included enquiries of management
and the Finance and General Purposes Subcommittee aboul their own idenlrficalion and assessmenl of the risks of
irregularilies, sample testing on the posting of journals, revTrewing accounting eslimales for biases, reviewing regulatory
correspondence with the Charity Commissior), Independent Schtr)ls Inspeclorale. Ofsted and reading minules of
meetings of those charged with governance.
Owing lo the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material
misslalemenls in the financial slalemenls. even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in
accordance with auditing standards. For example. the further removed non-compliance wilh laws arTrd regulations
lirregulariliesl is from the events and transactions reflected in Ihe financial slalemenls, Ihe less likely the inherenlly
limited procedures required by auditing standards would ￿entIfy il. In adiyilion. as wilh any audit, there remained a higher
risk of non-deleclion of Irregularities. as these may Involve collusion, forgery, inlenllonal omissions, misrepresenlaltons,
or the override ol inlernal controls We are nol lesponsi￿e for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected lo
delecl non-compliance with all laws and regUlat￿n$.
Use of our report
Thi5 report Is made solely lo the charitable company s members, as a body. in ac¢ordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of
the Companies Acl 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might slate lo the charitable company's
members those mallers we are required lo stale lo them In an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To Ihe fullest
exlenl permitted by law. we do not accepl or assume re5ponsibilily lo anyone other than the charitable company and
the charitable company s members as a body, fof our audit work. for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
