In 2019120, Seaford achieved its second consecub.ve year of strongest ultS for both GCSE and A Levels. The academic improvement in results has been urKlerpinned by the ethos that students do not y beneath the radar. More rigorous reporting structures arKI a strong pastoral care provision supporting students both pastoralty and academically. alongside whole sch1 academic development such as on Independent Learning. have enabled our students to achieve their'personal bests.. Seaford continues its trend of increastng the number of students securing places at lop Russell Group unNetsities and first choice universities. Examination results for 2019r20 have seen an increase in the higher grades achieved at A Level and BTEC enabling more students to ad)ieve their first choice offer for their chosen universty course. In the Prep and mddle Schools, monitoring and tracking continue to evolve with indtvidual target grades to suppart students and enable each to achieve their personal bests. The Coltege has undergone sustained of initiatives lo improve the qualtty and prowsion for texhing and learning since 2013, helping students to achieve this yearfs resutts. Going foNRrds. a commilmenl to breadth of provi5i0n remains a key pr#)rity. As a result of the Independent Leaming focus for the previous academic year, the Challenge Grade reporting system has been further developed to provide dear targets for students in each subj'ect. and with an 'Ad Alta, independenl arnIng framework of assessment now inciuded. The College remains true to its academKally non-setecttve admissions W1Y. Enty at all transrtion points (Year 7. 9 and 121 is now over-subscribed. The College has an official vrdits.ng list in a number of year groups. After the Govemment announcement that due io Coronavwus. Sc*KlS in England would close from 19 March 2020.

THE JOHNSON TRUST LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 Acadoml¢ Achievement and Perforniance This has been an extrnordinary year as the first kKkdown rwessitated the requirement for Centre Assessed Grades ICAGS) to replace publi¢ examinalions. For every GCSE. BTEC and A kvel subJ"ect. examination boards requed a school or college to submrf( the folbwng infomiation.. A CAG for each student-this reflects the judgement of the school or cole of the grade that each student was most likely to have achieved if they had sat their examinations. Thi% professional judgement was derived from eVKIen held wthin the centre and which has been reviewed by subject teacher5 and r&vant Heads of Department.. and The rank order of students within each grade- for example, for all those students wth a grade of 5 in GCSE maths. or a grade 8 in A level biology. a rank order where 1 is the most securelhighest attaining Sdent and so on. This also applied to the Advanced Exlension Award IAEA) in maths and the Extended Project Qualffi¢ab'on IEPQI. The CAGS submitted to examination boards had lo refie¢t a fair, reasonable and carefully considered judgement of the most likely grade a student would have aChved rf they had sat their examinab'on$ this summer and completed afty nonoxamined assessment. We believe these are the grades they would have achieved, and that our students worked hard for their grades. A Lw•l Perforniance In 2020, the College achieved its strongest A Level and BTEC Results to date. with 12% of grade5 awarded at an A", and 35% of grades A"_A Grades A£ (89%) V•Ere also improved. These ststistics include the 8TEC results. which were also an improvement on the preVuS year {particularly at Distin¢tion . and Distinction grades). It IS Worth noting that BTECS are assessed as parl of a modular curriculum, and 50 by the time that CAGS were submrlted, the marks achieved were already largely comp18ted in the classroom over the course of the previous years. The Extended Project IEPQ) grades achieved also improved in line with our expectat)nS of this cohort {32% A"; 63% A"_A'. 100% A"_Cl. The Current currKulum of A Level, BTEC and EPQ offers an attractive and effective set of pathways for students to be able to blend courses to frt thwr strengths and interests. This is particularfy important given that we are not an academi¢ally selective schwl. and so our student populatK*n is diverse in boih their interests and talents.

GCSE Perforrnan The 2020 GCSE results are undoubtedly the strongest GCSE results for the College 8¢hieved on record. It is important io point out that the grades &hieved by students were clearly supported and tracked through their fvtsyear Courses by the Challenge Grade trackn.ng system. and that these resulls conts'nue the College's trend of improwng demiC GCSE results over re¢enl years. In particular. given our academi¢alty nofvselecbve ethos. the number of students hVIng a Grade 4 or better in the core subjects was excellent (Maths 96%.. ence 95% {with at ast one of the combined science split grades being a grade 4 100%)", English Language 100%}.

THE JOHNSON TRUST LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 One positive legacy from the lockd¢y•m period was the ¢on$truction of the Coifege Orienteering course using CCF staff during the time that would have been used for the CCF Summer Camp. The College now has 31 professional orienteering maters mounted on dedicated posts throughout the grounds. A further 9 posts wll be added when the foresty works have been COMpted. Thi5 is a really exciting and versatile facility that ¢an be used by all age groups induding those not in the CCF. Looking ahead. one major change whth is being progressed is Ihe move io being a totalty voluntary organisation. It will no longer be compulsory for Year 10 students," this is in line with the MOD'S expectations and should enable a more p)sitive and focused experience, the sIhY longer-term aspiration to use the additional eapacty slightty reduced numbers will provhle, by offering CCF to Year 9 students. Next year, the plans for our annual camps include fiexibilty to deliver as much as wssible despite the expectation that there will remain some restrKtions, wsth remaining in the Ioc21 area and potentially usin9 the College facilities being key aspects. Duke of Edinburgh The Dukeof Edinburgh expedition programmeas severely jrtaI1ed by the national kxkdown. Despite signfficant amount of work being done lo adjust the activibes to comply wtlh restrIctnS the rapidly changing rules eventually resulted in all expedibons being cancelw. However, due to a very proactive approach to the srtuatK)n by the DofE Head Offi. a svJnfficant number of &Jjustments were implemented in order to create fiexibility for the other sections lo be condu¢ted safely and remotely. As a result, those participants that completed all the other sectK)ns of their award were gwen Certificates of AchievemenL instead of the full award. If they go on to cOmte the expedition section of the level thve that Cerbficate will be uwJraded lo a full award. Throughout lockdown. the school DOE staff engaged wth parb"cipants on the Zoom platforn in virtual DofE Clinics, in order lo guide them through these challenging ts.mes $0 that they U1 still progress their award. Looking forward. it is the intention to tske advantage of the llexibility still allowed in order to support participants through their awards and gain the maximum benefit despite any reSttionS still in place. Due to the success of last yea¢s Gohd Level Kayaking exFedition. this wll be repeated in the summer of 2021. Outdoor Pursults For the first part of the year Outdoor Pursuits corstinued to be well SUPFUted and popular amongst the students. The Saturday moming actNities pro3ramme {climbing. archery, bushcraft and even SCUBA diving) were regularly oversubscrited. thus proving their worth. Outdoor Education continued remotety for the FEriod of nat#al kdOwn. Every week. staff provided an outdoor themed 'how to, session. including topKs like bike maintenance and physical chaIngeS. In addition there were weekend 'outdoor challenges, induding aelivities like geocaching. treasure hunts and picture competitions. For the summer holNJays. the OUtdl Education department was given special permission lo offer the John Muir Family Challenge Award whth was offered as a supported activity to those that wanted. The main events th were Canlled due to the $trIcOn$ were the Devvzes to Wesiminster Canoe Race on the Easter Weekend and the Expedition to Kerala. India in the first two weeks of the summer holKlays. As lockdown was eased. multsactivrty weeks were planned and delivered at short notice for different year groups,. one dunng the last week of the Summer Temi and one in August before term began. Activities included archery. orienteerin9. bushcrnft laserquestand arrow tag. They proved very popular and the feedback was overwhelmingly p)sitive. Looking forward, there is a f(Ku5 on deveh)ping opportunities and fxilibes within the spectscular and versalile College grounds. The constru¢tion of the orienteering course a good example. There are plans to enhance the facilitss in the day poeon shooting range whth would provKle a covered, multipurposelall-wealher area for &b"vth"es like air rifie shooting. archery and outdoor lessons. which would make greater use of this excellent outdoor area. The'ropes course. also MainS an aspiratKJnal 14

Another very signrfKant development is that Ihe school has taken on the challenge of delivering the Chadlon Chase event in fuiure years. these facilities and events provide OPPKtrrtunities for not just Seaford $tudents but also other sehts)Is and youth organisations, as well as the wider communrty whth fvuy support Seaford's Charitab status.

This dala (which highlHJhted 9 bat species. 2 of whKh are listed as 'vulnerable' on Ihe Red List for England's Mammals and 2,412 individual bat recordings) will help to prowde fvrther evKlen¢e of the importance of the Botany Bay site. Students are now putting together a &year management plan lo further improve this habitat for bat species. This is likely io include coppicing of hazel and the use of bat boxes. The plan is to repeat the survey in 2021 to see if there is a measurable increase in bat activity.

THE JOHNSON TRUST LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 nancial Review Results for the y•ar Student numbers conts'nue at an optimum level wrth an in¢rease in numbers across the College, Prep Schwl. Middle School and Sixth Fo. In September 2019 there were 845 students at the College of whom 144 We boarders. At September2020 overall numbers had risen to 875 including 144 boarders. wrth good attendanos at orÉn days. student numbers are expected to remain strong at September 2021 and beyond. Fee income amounted to £13.846.296 (2019: £14.174.752} as shown in note 2 and reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities. This decrease is principally due to the ¢oncession rate of fees over Summer Tern 2020 with 25, 30 and 50% reduction in fees depending on year group which amounted to a reduction in gross fees of over £2.1m. Total expenditure increased by 2.1% compared to the previous year to £14,618,148. Although year on year cost increases have been driven by changes in regulatory coMplnCe. extemal bgislation, general inflation and the general operating costs to run College as a resull of increasing student numbers, there were some cost savings arising from Connected Leaming but some additional investment Costs to develop the platform. Also. both operations and support staff have been fvrloughed from March 2020 under the CcOna¥1TuS Job Retentr'on Scheme. Col*e is strengthened by strong finanrial govemance and conb'nually balancing affordabilty and value for money with long-term investment in rts slaff and estste to ensure College meets its short and long term Charitable objectives and commilments. Net income from operations for the year was £479,10912019." £1,091.062) with the decrease down to fee concessions over Summer Temi and loss of other income, whefe due to Coronavirus restrictions College was unable host the usual summer sp)rts camp. With a retum to face-to-face teaching in September 2020 the expeclation was for SUrpS generation for 2020f21 to return to previous levels. However, after a near nOnY1 Autumn Term 2020 there was again a government directive at the start of Spring Tenn that schools be closed and so we reverted to Connected Leaming. This will have an impxt upon fee income for 2020r21 with fee concession rates for Spnng Term 2021 amounting to 20% of day fees being given all year groups. The annual programme of p1aCIng and Storing College buildings has been fUlfild during the year with capital investrnent on buildings. school equipment and plant and mlnery together wth substantial spend oll repairs and renewals on the school premises and estate. The financial position of tth trading subsidiaries is nth¥ imwoved with each generating a surplus from actwits'es and reserve balan retumed to positive. The Colleg& had no fvndraising activities requiring disclosure under S162A of the Charities Act 2011. Reservos Lov•1 The College's resee5 polw. although there we rK) free reserves. is to ensure sufficient financial resources are available to enab it to meet its short-temi finanaal obligatS in the event of an unexpected venue shorttall. Future operating surpluses and bank knlities will be used to cover the College's longer-temi caprtal expenditure commitments and any longer-lem financial obligations. The Govemors regularty review the level and naiure ofthe reserye funds ofthe College and also review the College's finanual plans on a monthly and termly basis monitoring income and expendrture against budget forecasts and with regard lo annual and medium term busine$5 devebpment plans. Substantial sums have been invested irs the College buildings and development of the site. Future operatr.ng surpluses wll be used tM)th towards the repayment of bank ly)rThng$ and to enhance the College's physical and educational resources. 16
THE JOHNSON TRUST LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 At the end of 2020. totsl reserves stwj at £15.895.15012019.' £15.465.0411 after taking account of the £140,000 pension asset {2019.- £193.000). Accumulaled surpluses have been fully utilised investing in College's estste and there are no free reserves at the balance sheet date. Free reserves represent UnstriCted income fund that is freely available io spend on any of the charity's purposes. The Governors are of the opinion that. given the current balance sheet and financial prqections. future student registrations. as V11 as aVaable banking facilities. there is no need to set aside additional free reserves. This positton has been re4xamined in light of the ongoing finClaI impaci of cOrCavirus. Financial perfom)ance has remained strong. despite concession fee rates and reduced income, and level of reserves afe considered to be adequate. Governor5 are confident that future cash flow alkW for seNicing of all exrsting loans together with Ihe ability to undertake other ¢aptsl projects as required to support the sthool's needs. The obligations warding Ihe Charrty's commitsmenl to its closed defined benefit pension herne a as set out in note 19. It is hoped that with a declining membefship the burden imposed by the Scheme ¢)n College will be fvlly relieved over the next few yes. a posilion supported by a surplus FRS102 asset valuation at 31 August 2020. Going Con¢om The Governors are satisfied that operating cash flov•ts remain strong and will be sufficient to allow the College to meet its liabiliknes as they fall due. However. the Govemors also recognise that the level of reseNes 11 flu¢tuate in response to economic LX)nditK)ns and during periods of strategic investment in the College estate. Regular diabgue is mainlained wtth the College's bank to ensure that the appropriate financi21 facil'ÈS are avaiLable to call on should the need arise. Accordingly, the Governors consider thatthe going concem basbs remains approwiaie forthe preparation of the College's accounts. This conclusion has been examined in light of the ongoing financial impxt of (OnaviruS and found to wholty appropriate. The Charlty Code of Governance The Board of Governors takes its governance resph)nsibilths SeuSIY and. as a large charity, aims to have a govemance framework that is fftfor purtx)se. compliant and effiaent.

In certain years the College is at capacity levels but is not complacent Fee increases are carefijlly considered and for September 2019 the Govemors limited fee change to an over1 3.9%. There were no fee increases wnplemented at September 2020. 17
THE JOHNSON TRUST LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 Potential failure in safeguarding is mitigated by maintaining strict safeguarding procedures and a vfrjilant and caring approach to care of students. The 'Pink House. provides extfa support and counselling where needed. Health and safety is aWdyS a significant area for risk managemenL The risks range from fire and infrastructure to personal risks.

Memr5 conth.bute on a.pay as you go. bas with contributions from mernbers and the employer being credrted to the Exchequer. Retsrement and other pension benefits are paid by publ funds provided by ParfiamenL The employer contribution rate is set by the Secretary of Stste following scheme valuations undertaken by the Govemmenl Actuary's DepartmenL The most recent actuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2016 and the valuab.on Repjrt. wh was published in March 2019, confirmed thatthe employercontributKin rate forthe TPS woukl in¢0$e from 16.4% to 23.6% from 1 September 2019. Employers are also required to pay a scheme administration levy of 0.08% giving a lotal employer contnbution rate of 23.68%. The 31 March 2016 Valuation Report was prepared in a¢¢ordan¢e the benefrts set out in the scheme regulatKJns and under the approach specrf*d in the Directions, as they applied at 5 March 2019. However. the assumptions were considered and set by the Department for Education prior to the ruling in the 'McCknudlSargeant case.. Thi5 case ha$ required the courts to consider cases regarding the implementation of the 2015 refoms to Public Servu PensKJns including the Teachers. Pensions.
THE JOHNSON TRUST LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court dend the Govemmelll perrnissKJn to appeal the Court of Appeal'sjudgemenl that transitional provIonS introduced to the refomed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to unlawful age discriminatKsn. The Govemment is respecb.ng the Court's decision and has said it will engage fvlly with the Employment Tribunal as well as empbyer and member representatives to agree how the discriminations will be rernedied. A consultation wa5 launched by the Government on 16 July 2020. and ctosed to responses on 11 October 2020. The TPS is subject to a cost cap mechanism which was put in place to protect taxpayers against UnfoSeen changes in scheme cnsts. The Chief Secretsry to the Treasury, having in 2018 announced that there would be a rev of this cosl cap mechanism. in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal's ruling in the M¢CbudlSargeant case and until there is certainty about the value of pensions to empbyees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was Itfted in July 2020 and the Govemment Ts weparing to complete the ¢ost control olement of the 2016 valuations. vthich is expected to be cornwed in 2021. In view of the above rnlings and deCIsS the assumptK)ns used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuats'on may become inappmpriate. Sn this scenario, a valuatK)n prepared in w)rdance with revised benefits and suitabty revised assumptions TAfJukl ytld different resufts than those contained in the Actuarial Valuatton. Until the consultstion and the cost cap mechanism review are completed it is not possible to ¢onelude on any financial impact or fijture changes to the contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly no provIs)n for any additional past benefft pension costs is induded in these financial slatemenls. The Johnson Trust Llmlted Penslon & Assurance Scheme The Charity operates The Johnson Trust Limited Pension & Life AssuraT Scheme for some of Tts non-teaching slaff. This is a defined benefft scheme based on final pensionable sakiry. The most recent valuation vras carried out as at 1 September 2018, and has teen updated to take ac¢ount of the requirements of FRS102 in order to assess the liabilities of the fund as at 31 August 2020. Liabilities are vall[ on an actuarial basis using the projected meth1 which assesses the fvture liabilities discounted to their present value. The FRS102 valuation at 31 August 2020 d08s not account for any further liabilty that may be required to equalise Guaranteed Minimum Pensions {GMP$) fdltywing the High Court ruling in Octoter 2018 that schemes must equaiise GMPS. The Scheme is closed to new entrants. The employer paid contributh?ns at the rate of 37.9% of pensionable salaries during the year. Employees paid contributions at the rate of 3.2% during the year.
