King's College School. Cambridge educates boys and girls from age 4- 13 on one site. Al 13. children move to
publi¢ school as day pupils or boardeis, into Year g, often with scholarship awards.
Our core values are deep-rooted in Kindness- Cr&ativily- St￿ngIh- Community. The ISI Report foliowing the
2023 Inspection, cites these to be very much in evidence in the management and operational systems within the
S¢hool, in the delivery of the Academic programme and in the Personal Development profile for every child.
Academic and pastoral provisions are inter-connected, informing every aspect of our approach lo supporting
PLJpiI learning and personal development. Key to the success of this frarnework is the interweaving of the
pro¢ess&s of tracking, assessment, intervention and the introduction of appropriate challenge for every pupil as
part of the profile of the Learning Hub, where staff remain fully engaged in their own research and learning
development that will further enhance pupil experience.
The curriculum is thorough and expansive, and further enhanced by the Cresco Division, a bespoke enrichment
programme wh￿￿ invites pupils lo explore learning and creative opportunity alongside the CO￿ subject profiles.
Learning though stories and lilerature, and a strong emphasis on 8 reading culture, including the study of myths
and legends, fomis a key part of this profile.
Vaulted Learning, an approach to acquiring transferable leaming skills across all disciplines, is unique to King's
College School.

THE QUALITY OF THE PUPIL'S PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Rèsilience and perspective
By Year 8, pupils present as articulate and relative lo their age, self-assured bul without arrogance. Qualities of
self-understanding. self-esleem, confidence, discipline and resilience are equally evident in the manner of their
deportment around the school, both in and out of the classroom. This is a schoDI where staff talk lo children all
the lime and, in those inleradions. there is a natural ease and a ready ad(nowledgement of the value and talents
of each individual.
Collaborative working is encouraged and is one of the highlighl8d Learning Ribs tvaulled Learningl. Ease and
ability lo work in teams is eVIden￿d across the provision.. in choirs and musical ensembles. in sport, in drama
{en¢ouraged in all age groups) in STEM prqecls and as part of a number of leaching and learning approa¢hes
within the classroom. The Boarding House encourages the best of community liwng and leaches invaluable skills
in collaboration and shared purpose.
Children present as happy and well-adjusled.
360 degree learning
Many pupils pursue any number of extra-curricular interests and lo a very high level, and although supported in
terms of their lime management, il is surely the high level of their engagement which speaks volumes in terms of
their commitment and appreciation of the correlation belw$en hard work and achievement.

TRUSTEES, REPORT ICONTINUEDI
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023
Academic success is ¢elebraled and many children move lo their senior schools with scholarships. Bul this is not
211 that is celebrated. Suc¢ess in sport, art, music, drama and dance are just as valued. Children can see this
and il creates a culture of opportunty and possibility.
School Assemblies are fundamental lo the ethos al this school. Subject content is ullerly varied bul always seeks
lo be challenging. Children are expected, and do, continue lo debate the issues raised throughout the week.
The school kitchens provide a full range of healthy and nulrilious options for pupils.
PE, Games and more general opportunities lo run and play and part of every school day. Many children choose
lo lake part in afterschool clubs loo. The boarders are encouraged lo run and play after they have finished their
evening prep.
Tradition
King's is characlerised as a school of sound heritage and tradition, with a lively sense of relevance and
openness in embracing the richness of a diverse and inclusive community. Our pupils are local and inlernalional..
'home and abroad, in every sense of those words.
The school follows a Christian faith., bul that includes a respect for those of all faiths and no faith. Choristers
allend Chapel where they participate fully in the setvices. as a choi￿.
Confirmation classes are offered by the school and a number of children. usually in Year 7 and Year 8 will opt lo
be part of Ihis process. So too, we are a￿ayS happy to allow children lime away from school lo observe the
important events relating to other faiths and culluies.
Coro valu&s
From the first moment in the school, the importance of distinguishing right from wrong is reinforced.
We are firmly commilled lo kindness and a strong sense of community. The school community is a happy and
slaljle one., il is rooted in the premise of mutual rèspect, in tolerance and inclusivity.
King's prides itself of the children's awareness of the value of kindness. community, strength and crealivily.
These are values and approaches lo all aspect of their lives which are much ehampioned.
A holistic approach to pupll development
The Pastoral structure has undergone a signrficant Iransformalion in recent years. The Form Tutor role is al the
heart of every child's experien￿ and the Foim Tutor would usually be the first point of contact for parents.
Additionally, the Academic profile for every child is read in conjunction with their personal development and
Pastoral profile.
Further work in the co-curricular programme allows for personal expression.. specifically in Art. Music and
Drama, bul also in sport.
Children are encouraged lo 'have their own voice,; this is not only within the context of the PSHE programme, bul
also in House Meetings, in the School Council, in the classroom, as part of the one-lo-one meetings with the
Head and SLT, and as part of local and local causes. Mosl important is the approach of leaching all children how
lo navigate discussions and to always be ahead of the game in understanding that others may not always share
the same point of view.

AUDITORS. RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have been appointed as auditor under section 152 of the charit￿S Ad 2011 and report in accordan￿ with
the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect Ihereunder.
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial slalements as a whole are free
from material misslalemenl, whether due to fraud or error. and lo issue an Auditors, Report that includes our
opinion. Reasonabl& assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when il exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered Material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonabty be
expected lo 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 regulaliot)s. We design procedures
in line with our re5ponsibililies, outlined above, lo delecl material misslalemenls in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below..
Irregularities. including fraud, are inslan¢es of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. lo delecl material misslalemenls in respect of irregularities,
including fraud. The exienl to which our procedures are capable of delecling irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below..
Our approach lo identifying and assessing the risks of rnalerial misslatemenl in respect of irregularities, including
fraud and non-complian￿ with laws and regulations, was as follows=
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence.
capabilities and skills lo identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations.,
we identified the laws and regulations applicable lo the Group through discussions wilh TrLJStees and other
management, and from our knowledge and experience of the education sector..
we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworf( applicable to the Group and how the
Group is complying with that framework.,
we obtained an understanding of the Group's policies and procedijres on compliance with laws and
regulations, inclLJding documenlalion of any instances of non-¢omplian¢e;
we identified which laws and regulations were significant in the context of the Group. The Laws and
regulations we considered in this contex1 were the Companies A¢1 2006, Ihe Charities Act 2011 and laxalion
legislation. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit
pro￿ureS on the related financial slalemenl items..
in addition, we ¢onsidered provisions of olher18W5 8nd iegulalions that do not have a direct effect on the
financial slalemenls but Compliance wilh which might be fundamental lo tha Group's ability lo operate or lo
avoid material penalty., and
identified laws and regulations were ¢ommuni¢ated wlhin the audil team regularly and the team remained
alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audrt.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Group's financial slalemenls lo material misstatement. including obtaining
an understanding ol how fraud might occur, by..
making enquiries of management as lo where they considered there was susceptibility lo fraud. their
knowledge of actual. suspected and alleged fraud,. and
considering the internal controls in place lo mf(igate risks of fraud and non-compli8t)¢e with laws and
regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override ol conlTols. we.,
tested journal entries lo identify unusual Iransaclions..
assessed whelherjijdgemenls and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates sel out in the
accounting policy were indicative of potential bias., and
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual IransaclKJns.
In response lo the risk of irregularities and non¢omplian¢e with laws and ￿gUlatiOns. we designed procedures
which included, bul were not limited lo..
agreeing financial sl8lement disclosures to undertying supporting documentation.,
reviewing minutes of meelings of those charged with governance.,
enquiring of management as lo actual and potential liligalion and claims., and
reviewing correspondence wi(h relevant regulators and the School's legal advisors.
Because of the inherent limiialions of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delecl all irregularities. Including
those leading lo a material missialement in the financial slalemenls or non-complian￿ 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 stalemenls, as we will be less likely lo become aware of instances of non-complian￿.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves
intentional concealment. forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresenlalion.

1.15 PENSIONS
The Group participates in the Teachers, Pension Scheme ITPSI which is a defined benefit scheme.
The TPS is an unfunded scheme and contributions are calculaled so as to spread the cost of
pensions over the employees. working lives with the School in such a way that the pension cost is a
subslanlially level per¢enlage of current and futu￿ pensionable payroll. The contributions are
determined by the Govermenl Actuary on the basis of quadrennial valuations using a prospective unil
credit method. The TPS is a mulli employer scheme and there is insufficient information available lo
use defined benefit accounting. The TPS is therefore treated as a defined contribution scheme for
accounting purposes and the contributions are recognsied in the peiiod to which they relate.
The Group partl¢iP8les in the Universities Superannuation Scheme (the s¢hemel. The assets of the
scheme are held in a separate Iruslee-adminislered fund. Because of the mutual nature of the
scheme, the assets are not allribuled lo individual inslilulions and a scheme-wide contribution rale is
sel. The Group is therefore exposed lo actuarial risks associated with other inslilulions, employees
and is unable to identify ils share of the undedying assets and liabilities of the scheme on a
consistent and reasonable ljasis. As required by Sedion 28 of FRS 102 "Employee benefits., the
Group therefore accounts for the scheme as if it were a defined ¢onlribulion scheme. As a result. the
amount charged lo the income and expenditure account represents the conlribLJtions payable lo the
scheme. Since the Group has entered into an agreement Ilhe Recovery Plan) that determines how
each ernployer within Ihe scheme will fund the over811 deficit. the Group recognises a liability for the
contributions payable that arise from the agreement Ilo the exlenl that they relate lo the deficill with
related expenses being recognised through the income and expenditure account. However on
transfer of the School's employees from King's College, Cambridge the College retained that liability
therefore no provision for these deficit recovery payments are included in these financral statements.
The Group also participates in a defined contribution pension s¢hemes and the pension ¢harge
represents the amounts payable by the Group to the funds in respect of the year.
1.16 FUND ACCOUNTING
General funds are unreslricled funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in
furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other
purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been sel aside by the Trustees for particular
purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is sel out in the notes lo the financial
slalemenls.

donors or which have been raised by the Group for particular purposes. The ¢osls of raising and
administering such funds are Charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each reslricled

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT
Estimates and judgements are ¢onlinually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other
factors. including expectations of future events that are believed lo be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Critical accounting eslimales and assumptions..
The Group makes eslimales and assumptions con¢erning the future. The resulting accounting estimates
and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The eslim8tes and
assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjuslmenl lo the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next fi'nancial year are discussed below.
Long term lease- The present value of the long term lease in relation to the School buildings is calculated
based on Ihe Group's incremental borrowing rate. This rate is an estimate that management have made
al the inception of the lease after obtaining information from the School's banker. The use of a different
interest rale would impact the carrying value of the lease liability and associated asset.
Retirement benefit obligations
The cost of defined benefit pension plans and other post-employment
benefits are determined using actuarial valuations. The actuarial valuation involves making assumptions
about discount rates, future salary increases. mortality rates and future pension in¢reases. Due lo the
complexity of the valuation. the underlying assumptions and the long term nature of these plans, such
eslimales are subject lo significant uncertainty. Further detai18 are given in note 22.
Managernenl are satisfied that Universities Superannuation Scheme meets the deh'nilion of a mulli-
employer scheme and would have therefore recognised the discounted fair value of the wnlraclual
contributions under the funding plan in existence at the dale of approving the accounts. However on
transfer of the School's employees from King's College, Cambridge the College retained that liability
therefore no provision for these deficit recovery payments are included in these financial stalemenls.
As the Group is contractually bound to make deficit recovery payments to USS, this would be recognised
as a liability on the balance sheet. The provision is currently based on the USS deficit recovery plan
agreed after the 2018 actuarial valuation, which defines the deficit payment iequired as a percentage of
future salaries until 2028. These contributions will be reassessed within each triennial valuation of the
scheme. The provision is based on Tnanagemenl's estimate of expected future salary inflation. changes in
stsff numbers and the prevailing rate of dis¢ounl. Further details are sel oul in note 22. However on
transfer of the School's employees from King's College, Cambridge the College retained that liability
therefore no pmvision for these deficit recovery payments are included in these financial slalemenls.
The Trustees do not consider there are any further critical judgements or sources of eslimalion uncertainty
requiring disclosure beyond the a¢¢ounling policie5 and Ihal sel out above.
