TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR'S REPORT) (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

West Lodge School Limited is a company limited by guarantee - Company Number: 1590162 and a registered charity governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association - Charity Number: 283627.

Appointment of Trustees (Trustees are Directors and Members of the Council of Management)

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association one third of the council of management retire by rotation at the Company's Annual General Meeting and are eligible to offer themselves for re-appointment. Under Article 32 of the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association; Any Member appointed to the Council of Management during the year will retain office only until the next Annual General Meeting where he or she will then be eligible for re-election.

Trustee Induction & Training

Trustees are invited to join the Council by reason of their various skills and abilities usually with an intimate knowledge of the happy environment which characterises the atmosphere in which the School operates. The School is a member of each of AGBIS - Association of Governing Bodies of Independent Schools, ISA - the Independent Schools' Association and ISBA - the Independent Schools Bursars' Association, all of which from time to time provide training for specific purposes.

Risk Management and Reserves

The Trustees’ investment powers are governed by the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Trustees do not currently consider it appropriate to hold any investments other than interest bearing deposits.

The Trustees carry out regular reviews of the Charity’s finances. The Trustees monitor progress against budgets at each meeting. As part of this process, the Trustees monitor closely prospective pupil numbers with a view to ensuring that the Charity's reserves continue to be maintained at a prudent level. The School has maintained its optimum number of pupils.

In conjunction with their professional advisers the Trustees remain cognisant of the implications of the Charities Act 2011.

Objectives, activities and performance

In accordance with its Object the Charity continued to provide non-selective education in Sidcup for girls and boys to the age of eleven. A broad based curriculum is the focus of the School's policy and that has continued to provide the opportunity for students to attain the highest academic standards of which they are capable. Additionally, they are provided with extra curricular activities designed to develop life-long interests, help build self-confidence and a desire to contribute to the community.

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Achievements and performance

Public Benefit

In setting their objectives and planning their activities, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary guidance on advancing education and fee charging.

The School continues to provide support to various charities including "What makes you different makes you beautiful", the Ukraine appeal, Action Aid, Save the Children and Cancer. Additionally, our school community generously donated to the Bexley Food Bank.

Since the Covid-19 pandemic the school has been unable to provide its usual level of public benefit operations and has resumed accommodating work experience students from local secondary schools and students intending to train for the teaching profession undertaking classroom observations.

Additionally the school has been able to open its facilities for hire by a fitness group.

On occasion, the school has provided financial support to families by means of school bursaries for those adversely impacted by the current financial climate.

Financial review

This year, the increase in revenue of £155,566 relates to the inflationary increase in tuition fees, from September 2021. Prior to this, tuition fees had been held static as a way of supporting parents following the Covid-19 Pandemic. Overall, the net surplus revenue amounted to £13,406.

Fees are reviewed by the Finance Committee, which reviews the budgets for each term and, termly, makes recommendations to the full Council of Management. The Trustees are committed to keeping fee increases to a minimum.

In June 2020, the School made an application to the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) for £250,000, which was received on 9 September 2020. Repayments commenced in October 2021 and are being made in a monthly basis. Interest is being repaid quarterly.

Plans for future periods

As part of the on-going improvements to the school, the School has committed to replace the climbing frame in the playground, upgrade the Early Years playground and extend the artificial grass area so that the playground becomes a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA). This will be undertaken in the Spring 2023 term.

The School has also commissioned plans for an extension to the south end of the school, which will increase the classrooms for Years 5 & 6, and provide a dedicated Art studio and Science facilities for the pupils. This project has been tendered for but it unlikely to be undertaken in the short-term.

Plans for future periods (continued)

Future

The Charity will continue to improve upon its standards of education within the broad based curriculum. The School will continue to extend its sporting activities, including its involvement in ISA sport and local sports competitions, especially those promoted through the London Borough of Bexley with maintained sector schools.

The School plans to replace the minibus in the long-term, as it is not ULEZ compliant, and hopes to either purchase or lease two new lightweight minibuses that will facilitate the above objective as well as providing the opportunity for the School to deliver a West Lodge School transportation service for pupils in the future.

Trustees' responsibilities statement

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Small company provisions

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WEST LODGE SCHOOL LIMITED

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of West Lodge School Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WEST LODGE SCHOOL LIMITED (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to 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 regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We identify and assess the key risk areeas of material misstatement and then design and perform procedures in relation to those risks.

Materiality has been calculated based on turnover and gross assets and has been assessed at the level of £40,000.

The key risk areas were considered to be Completeness of Charity Income, Valuation of Property, Recoverability of Debtors, Trade Creditor Completeness and Related Party Completeness. The appropriate audit approach was considered and applied to these areas.

We performed substantive testing to identify any incomplete charity income, unrecorded changes in property valuation, irrecoverable trade debts, omitted liabilities or unrecorded related party transactions which may indicate risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

We have reviewed the financial statement disclosures and assessed compliance with the following relevant laws and regulations:

Companies Act 2006 Data Protection Act 2018.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the School’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the School.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

WEST LODGE SCHOOL LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets

Tangible Fixed Assets are stated at cost less depreciation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property - 2% or 5% Straight Line Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 25% Reducing Balance or 8/10 Year Straight Line Motor vehicles - 25% Reducing Balance

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
