Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectivesare to obtain reasonableassuranceabout whetherthe financial statementsas a whole are free from materialmisstatement,whetherdueto fraudor error,andto issuea Reportof theIndependentAuditorsthatincludes our opinion. Reasonableassuranceis a highlevel of assurance,but is not a guaranteethatanauditconductedin accordance with ISAs (UK) will alwaysdetecta materialmisstatementwhenit exists.Misstatementscanarisefrom fraud or error and are consideredmaterialif, individually or in the aggregate,they could reasonablybe expectedto influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We gatheredan understandingof how the entity is complyingwith the aboveframeworksby enquiringand observing managementand thosechargedwith governance,ensuringthere is a culture of honestywith an emphasison fraud prevention which may reduce opportunities for fraud to occur as well as acting as a deterrent.

We assessedthe susceptibility of the financial statementsto material misstatementdue to fraud, by making an assessmentof thekey fraudrisks,themannerin which anysuchrisksmaymaterialise,our knowledgeof theclient and an assessment of the current business environment.

We designedour audit proceduresto identify non-compliancewith suchlaws and regulations.Where the risk was consideredto be higher, we performedadditional audit proceduresto addresseachidentified fraud risk to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free of fraud or error.

We addressedtherisk of fraudthroughmanagementoverrideof controlsby testingtheappropriatenessof journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business.

Thereareinherentlimitationsin theauditproceduresdescribedabove,therisk of not detectinga material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detectingone resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment.The primary responsibilityfor the preventionand detectionof fraud restswith managementand those charged with governance.

A furtherdescriptionof our responsibilitiesfor theauditof thefinancialstatementsis locatedontheFinancial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

GRANGE ROSE HILL SCHOOL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 August 2024

1. SCHOOL INFORMATION

Grange Rose Hill School Limited is a private limited company, limited by guarantee without share capital, registered and incorporated in England and Wales.

The trustees of the charitable company can be found in the Report of the Trustees on page 7. In the event of the charitable company being wound up, liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per trustee.

The address of its registered office and place of business is Rose Hill School, Coniston Avenue, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN4 9SY.

The principle activity of the charitable company in the year under review was the provision of educational services.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£) and amounts are rounded to the nearest whole £1.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Depreciation is a significant accounting estimate within the accounts. Depreciation rates are based on the useful expected lives of each asset. The Trustees review the assets to ensure that their policies remain up to date, accurate and in line with previous expectations to confirm that depreciation is not accelerated or under-provided.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income represents school fees and extra charges relating to the three academic terms in the year and income from other activities. Fees invoiced and received in advance are carried forward for credit in the period to which they relate.

Other income, including the hire of facilities, is recognised in the period it is receivable and to the extent the charity has provided the goods or services.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Support costs are those incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objectives of the School and include project management carried out. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the school and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements,

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Expenditure

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

The running costs of the School, including the provision of education, are treated as direct charitable expenditure and includes costs relating to education, premises and the majority of administrative expenses. Other indirect expenditure has been classified separately.

Government grants

Grants are recognised when evidence of entitlement is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. A grant that imposes specified future performance-related conditions is recognised in income only to the extent that the performance-related conditions have been met. Where the performance-related conditions have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the School can meet the terms or conditions otherwise within its control, the income is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the conditions have been met. A grant that does not impose specified future performance-related conditions is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Land & buildings - at varying rates on cost Fixtures, fittings & equipment - at varying rates on cost Groundsman's equipment & minib uses - at varying rates on cost

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost price, this can include transport, installation, legal and other such associated costs. After initial recognition the asset is subsequently measured under the cost model of cost, less depreciation, less any impairment losses.

Subsequent day-to-day servicing of the assets will be recognised in the profit or loss in the period they are incurred. Only subsequent expenditure that can provide an incremental benefit will be capitalised.

No depreciation is charged on assets under construction.

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a first-in-first-out basis. Overheads are charged to profit and loss as incurred. Net realisable value is based on the estimated selling price less any estimated completion or selling costs.

When stocks are sold, the carrying amount of those stocks is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. The amount of any write-down of stocks to net realisable value and all losses of stocks are recognised as an expense in the period in which the write-down or loss occurs.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Going concern

The trustees have made their own assessment of going concern and have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the School's ability to continue as a going concern.

In making their assessment, the trustees have updated their forecasts to reflect the Government's decisions to implement VAT on school fees from January 2025, removal of charitable business rates relief and the increase in Employer National Insurance from April 2025.

Financial Instruments

The company enters into basic financial instruments that give rise to financial assets and financial liabilities including trade and other debtors, trade and other creditors, bank account balances, bank loans and other loans and borrowings and investments in certain non puttable and non convertible equity instruments.

Debt instruments which are not payable or receivable within one year are initially accounted for at the transaction price and are subsequently accounted for at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments payable and receivable within one year are measured at their undiscounted cash amounts. Where the debt instruments are treated as a financing transaction, then the financial asset or liability is measured at the present value of future cash flows based on a market rate of interest. Debt instruments which are treated as financial assets and accounted for at amortised cost are also assessed for impairment.

Equity instruments are initially accounted for at transaction price. They are subsequently accounted for at cost unless they can be accounted for at fair value based on a readily available market price or fair value. Equity instruments which are treated as financial assets and accounted for at cost are also assessed for impairment.

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 School anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services is must provide.
