The School recognises ils iesponsibility lo contribute to the wider community and is engaged in a large number
ol projects and activities that make a significant impact in a wde variety of contexts. This has been particularly
important during the ongoing pandemic.

d. Golng con¢¢rn
In their assessment of going concem. the Trustees have considered the ongoing impact on the charitable
company as a result of the COVID19 virus. This has had a signrficanl impact on the charitable company's
operations. The financial impacts as a resurt of the nationwide lockdown and ensuing remote learning operation
were miligaled through appropriate measures such as curtailment of nonessential expenditure and accessing
support provided by the Government Ihiough the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. The Tfuslees continue lo
monitor the situation as the pandemic prolongs and recognise that the effects will extend into the 202112022
financial year and possibly beyond. The Governors and School continue to adjust financial and operational plan5
for the future (for example by reintroducing remote leaming and cost controls where necessary) lo ensuie the
adverse effe¢is and risks ale mitigated as effeclivety as possible.
The Truslees have updated their annual budgets and forecasts based on eslimales of the impact of the
pandemic and have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company ha5 adequate resources lo ¢onlinue
in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Having regard to the above, the Trustees believe it appiopriale lo adopt the going concern basis of accounting in
preparing the financial stalemenls.

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fvlly in the Trustees, responsibilities slalemenl. the Trustees Iwho are also the directors of the
charitable company for the purposes of company law} are Tesponsible for the preparation of the financial
slalemenls and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for su¢h internal control as the
Trustees determine is necessary lo enable the preparalion of financial slalemenls that are free from material
misslalemenl. whether due to fraud or error.
In preparin9 the financial stalemenls. the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent
charitable Company's ability lo continue as a going concem, disclosing. as applicable, mallers related lo going
concern and using the going concern basis of a¢¢ounling unless the Truslees either intend lo liquidate the Group
or the parent charitable company or lo cease operations, or have tKJ lea1￿11¢ alternative bul to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audlt of the financial statements
Our objectives are lo obtain ￿8$Onable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misslalement, whelhei due lo fraud or eiror, and to issue an Audilorfs report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is nol a guarantee that an audit ¢onducled in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will a￿ayS detect a material misstatement when il exists. Misstatemen15 can arise
from fraud or erfor and are considered material rf, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be
expected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis ol these financial slalements.
Irregularities. including fraud, are instances of non<omplian¢e with laws and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo delecl material misslalements in respect ol irregularities,
including fraud. The extent lo which oui procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below..
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework5 within which the company operales,
focusing on those laws and regulations that have a diiect effect on the delerminalion of material amounts and
disclosures in the financial siatements. The laws and regulations we wnsidered in this ¢onlext were the
Companies Ad 2006 and Charrties Act 2011.
We identified the greate51 risk of material impact on the Iinancial 51alemenls from irregularities, including fraud,
lo be the override ol controls by management. OUT audit procedures lo respond to these risks included..
enquiries of management about their own idenlificalion and assessment of the risks of irregularities.,
reviewing board minutes and making enquiries of management regarding any non-compliance with laws
and regulalions and fraud",
reviewing the revenue. supplier payments and payroll systems for significant deficiencies or susceplibilily
lo fraud..
challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting eslimales
and iudgemenls," and
reviewing journal entries. in particular any journal entries posted wth unusual &¢ounl combinations.
Owin9 to the inherent limitations of ae) audit. there is an Unavoidab￿ risk that we may not have detected some
malerial misslalemenls in the financial slalemenls. even though we have properly planned and perfoTmed our
audit in accoidance with audrting standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot
be expected lo delecl non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
These inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misslatemenl resulting from fraud as this may
involve sophislicaled schemes designed to avoid dele¢tion. induding deliberate failure lo record transaclic>ns,
collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.

charge for the year includes contributions payable lo Ihe TPS of £465.077 (2020.. £4T5,498) and al the
year-end £54.075 (2020- £56.349) was accrued in respect of contributions lo this scheme.
The TPS is an unfunded multi*mployer defined beneffts pension scheme govemed by The Teachers,
Pensions Re9ulalions 2010 las amended) and The Tea¢hets' Pension Scheme Regulation5 2014 las
amended). Members contribute on a °pay as you go. basis with conlribulions from members and the
employer being credited lo the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds
provided by Padiamenl.
The employer conlfibulion rate is sel by the Secretary of Stale folbbwng scheme valuations undertaken by
the Governmenl Actuary's Department. The most recenl actuaiial valuation of the TPS was prepared as al
31 March 2016 and the Valuation Report, wh￿h was published in March 2019, confirmed that the
employer contribution rale lor the TPS would increase from 16.4Qk lo 23.6°A from 1 September 2019.
Employers are also required to pay a scheme administratK)n levy of 0.08Qh giving a total employer
contribution rale of 23.68010.
The 31 March 2016 Valualh)n Report was prepared in accordance wrth the benefits sel out in the scheme
re9ulalions and under the approach specified In the Dire¢tions. as they applied al 5 March 2019. However.

26. Pension commitments Iconlinuadl
'McCloudlSargeanl case.. This case has required the courts to consider cases regarding the
implemenlalion ol the 2015 refom)s to Pvblic Service Pensions including the Teachers. Pensions.
On 27 June 2019 the sUp￿Me Court denied the govemment pemiission lo appeal the Court of Appeal's
jud9menl that transitional provisions intrThlu¢ed to the felomed pensL)n s¢hemes in 2015 gave rise lo
unlawful age discrimination. The government is iespe¢ting the Court's decision and has said il will engage
lully wlh the Employmenl Tribunal as well as employer and member iepresenlalives lo agree how the
discriminations will be remedied. The government announced on 4 February 2021 that il intends lo
proceed with a deferred ¢hoi¢e underpin under which members will be able lo choose either legacy or
reformed scheme benefits in respect of their seNice during the period between 1 Apiil 2015 and 31 March
2022 al the point they become payable.
The TPS is Subject lo a Gosl cap mechanism which was put in place lo protect taxpayers against
unforeseen changes in scheme costs. The Chief Sec¥etary lo the Treasury, having in 2018 announced
that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, in January 2019 announced a pause lo the cost
cap mechanism follo￿]￿9 the Court ol Appeal's ru11ng in the Mccloudlsargeanl case and until there is
certainty about the value of pension5 to employees from April 2015 onward5. The pause was lifted in July
2020, and a consullalion was launched on 24 June on proposed changes lo the cost control mechanism
following a review by the Govemment Actuary. The consullalion closed lo response on 19 August 2021
and the Government is currently anatysing the responses.
In view of the above rulings and decisions the assumptions used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuation
may become inappropriate. In this scenario. a valuab.on prepared in accordance with revised benefits and
suitably revised assumptions would yield d￿e[e￿I results than those contained in the Acluarial Valuation.
Until the cost cap mechanism review is Compleled il is not possible lo conclude on any financial impact or
future changes to the contribution rate5 of the TPS. Accordingly no provision for any additional past benefit
pension costs is included in these financial stslemenls.
