FAIRLEY HOUSE SCHOOL GOVERNORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 INTRODUCTION The 2024-25 year at Falrley House was mixed bu¢ Started and ended on a high. The year began with flnalising the pyrchase of a 200-yeai' lease on 202 Lambeth Road, a beautiful building less than 5 minutes, walk fi'om our Junior School on Lambeth Road and backing on to Archbishop's Park. This ptjrchase in October 2024, secures our future, creating a pei'manenr Lambeth campu5 for Ehe school and cer(ain¢y of locatlon for parents, pupils and sraff, A huge thanks to all the parents who lobbied for u5 behind the scene5. While the property has previously been used as a school, it requires a complete refurbishment before our Senior School can occupy it. With current refurbishment estimates at around £5 million. we have sei up a fundraising committee and have engaged Kate Gray to work with us on raising the necessary funds to Support the building's refir, Our pupil numbers at the end of the year were 226, a significant increase from the 5tait of the year, The cos¢ base for 2024-25 increased due to the impact of salary inflation, incre35ed tosts from the new building and professional fee5. In February 2025, the school was visited by the Independent Schools Inspeccorate (ISI) for a routlne Inspection. The report identified many positive aspect5 of Fairley House and also highlighted a numbei. of improvements that needed co be made in regard to leadei-ship, management and governance and safeguarding. We welton)e the report's findings in how we develop "a culture thac supports the academic and personal development of pupils so that they can gain the qualifications, confidence and personal skills to pi'oceed successfully co furcher education and beyond" In particulai., the inspecrion found that our transdisciplinary approach. where SENCOS, therapists and teachers work together, 15 a "significant strength, leading co pupils throu8hout the school making good progress from their starting points" I'esulting in "a positive impact on the learnlng outcomes of pupils throughout the sch¢)ol and across all subjects" With the school's work in planning and adapting the curriculum. setting and implementing IEPS and EHC plans and putting in place appropriate acces5 arrangements, this 'careful individual planning enables each pupil to follow an appropriate course thac provides them with the qu2lification5 they need to pi'oceed successfully to further education". This results in "fftosr pupils attaining GCSE grade5 at oi. above their 5tandardised predicced grades" Thei'e was aclcnowledgement of the high prioricy placed on the emotional well-being and merital health of pupils thi'oughout the school and that our 'comprehensive and integrated 2pproach to well-being suppotts pupils in feeling secure and confident" Whilsc there is much we are proud of. we recognised the need to impi'ove in certain areas. The report found that additional appraisal and tralning was needed so leaders and governoi's could fully develop 'the knowledge and skills required to ensui'e that all of the standard5 are met consistentSy" It Stated that. although there is a commitment to saleguarding, the monitoring wa5 'llOt sufficiently rigorous" and that safeguarding risk assessments were not in place, which we have now addressed by consistently documenting the risk assessments we carry out. The report also identified that more effective partnerships 2nd timely refei'rals Eo key agencies are re9uired. The safety. welfare and well-being of our pupils has always been, and continues to be, a key prlorlty for the school. The Govei'nors and Senior Management Team, Supported by school sfI, worked throughout the Sprin8 and Summer tei'ms to address the points raised in the inspection and the pi-ogre5s monitoring inspection in July 2025 found chac the school met all the I'elevant standai-ds. Thi5 included setcing up and training staff to use a secui'e online safeguai-ding 5ysiem to record, monitor and rnanage pupil concerns. staff allegations and anonymous reporting, as well as Introducing a syscem

The public benefit aim is to equip our pupils with the skills and strategies they need to make a return to mainstream education at the earliest opw)rtunicy. Developing literacy in children who would otheiwise find it difficult or impossible to learn to read and wi-ite helps to optimise their life chances and enables them to engage with the community and wider society, Many former Fairley House pupils have gone on to university and now woi-k as professionals in science, health, law, the media and medicine. The policy of the school is to reach girls and boys from all social, economic, cultural, ethnic and Feligious background5 as part of its public benefit contribution.

STRATEGIC REPORT REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR Prlnclpol activltles of the yeor and operationol performance.. At the year-end there were 226 pupils on roll. an increase of 13 from the previous year. We provided places for 152 pupils with Statements of Special Educational Needs drawn from 28 local authoi'ities, Pupil outcomes continued to be overwhelmingly positiye. FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR The net unrestricted expenditure was £175.073 for the year, a result that was below that budgeted by the Board. Cash i-esources of the charity remain sci'ong. The Board is 5lt15fied that the continued year-end sui'pluses are adequa¢e for them to pui'sue further expansion of charitable activities in accordance with the school's strategic plan. Reserves Pollcy The trustee5 consider that the charity's principal risk is, if for some unforeseeable rea50n. it is unable to continue to provide its services to service users. The needs of its service users are complex, and they would need time to make arrangements for altei'native provision. The Charity therefore aims to maSntain reserves equivalen¢ ro ¢hree to four months expenditure in order to be able to continue to oper'ate in unforeseen circumstance5 foi. enough time for servlce users to make alrernative arrangements. 10IP£)ge
FAIRLEY HOUSE SCHOOL GOVERNORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 The Charity's target is to have designated property funds amounting to £5,000,000. These designated funds will be set aside for the purchase and re(urbishmenc of a new school building and for propei-iy maintenance. As mentioned. the purchase of a new school building at 202 Lambeth Road completed In October 2024 and will require a complete refurbishmenc before being occupied by our senior school. Oui- current senior school site is a long-term leasehold propei'ty, the lease is dlminlshing and thei'efore we are futui-e planning to ensui'e the Chai-ity may continue. We believe that with the target amount we would be able to 5upporr the refurbishment and the move to the new building. This is in line with our mission statement to provide first class education for children with SpLD. Governors are seeking to complete the refurbishmer)t 01202 Lambeth Road and the relocation of the senior school to the new building within the nex¢ 2 years. Investment Pollcy and objeetlves The investment powei's are governed by the Memorandum of Association which pei'mlts funds tha¢ are not immediately required for the company's purpose to be invested in such invescments, securities or property as may be thoughr fit, subject, nevertheless. to sueh condltions (if any) as may, for the time being. be imposed or required by law. Until such time as the school's borrowings have been repaid, the Board's policy is to inYes¢ shorc ierm surplus funds on the London Money Market. FUTURE PLANS Roles within the management team are being continually roviewed 2s demand dictates and as stra81C plans become implemented. Current year objectives are formulated in the context of longer-term objectives and the school'5 strategic plan. A review of the s¢rategic plan has been undertaken. resulting in implementation of a 10- year plan covering 2016-2026. The key objective5 Wlthin the plan are..

Reasonable assui'ance is a high level of assurance but 15 not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statement5, {including the risk of override of controls) and determined there were no principal risks directly impacting the chai-itable company's incoming resoui'ces and management bias in accounting estimates. 161Page
