GREENFIELD SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 August 2021

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Principal Aims

The Trustees intend to ensure that the future of the School is assured and that the education and facilities provided over more than eighty-five years are continually improved and maintained at the highest possible level. In this way, parents will recognise that the School will continue to provide an affordable, first class, fee paying primary education for children from all backgrounds within the locality and also an educationally based Nursery and Pre-Preparatory Department for children from the age of six months to four years. In accordance with the aims of the memorandum and articles, the School provides bursaries and in addition there are hardship funds made available to support the financial needs of children who are already attending the School where there is a compelling need or a change in circumstances.

Bursary funding is provided, in the main, from income generated from the School's investment portfolio and leasing of the School Estate. This ensures that the burden of this provision does not fall upon the fees generated by other parents. Bursaries are 'means tested' and awarded in accordance with the School's Bursary and Hardship policy. Bursaries and Hardship awards are reviewed biennially.

Fees are very carefully controlled and the School offers exceptional value for money. Greenfield remains highly competitive when compared to other independent educational establishments within the wider Woking area. The School therefore offers a unique facility for parents whose children may not thrive in the state sector, or for parents who feel that the specialist teaching available at Greenfield will provide a more beneficial primary education on which secondary and subsequent education can be based.

It is a key policy of the School that neither academic interview nor other entry qualification is ever imposed and Greenfield always endeavours to maximise the potential of each individual child regardless of their particular background providing the School is able to meet the child's educational and physical needs.

Public Benefit

The charitable status of the School is dependent on a certain level of activities related to Public Benefit. According to the charities commission, the Charities Bill requires organisations to pass two tests if they are to be charities. Firstly, that their objects are charitable, and secondly that they operate for the public benefit. The ongoing debate in Government may result in charities which advance education having to demonstrate in addition that they deliver public benefit. With no clear guidance on how or whether Public Benefit will be tested, Greenfield School would nevertheless highlight the following activities as evidence of its public benefit operations:

Bursaries - as stated above the School is able to support a number of children through a Greenfield education where parents would not ordinarily be able to afford the full fees. The Bursaries are means tested and the Trustees are active in ensuring places are awarded and regularly reviewed in accordance with the School's policy which is designed to widen access to the School.

Links with the Community - Although engagement with other schools has been difficult due to the restraints placed on the School by COVID-19, Greenfield continues to ensure its links with the local community are strong. Where it has been possible, the PE department has successfully run tournaments, of all sports, inviting other schools in the local area, which have been enthusiastically supported by maintained schools. Due to COVID-19, much of the links with local community have, over the 2020-2021 year, been based around fundraising and awareness raising. Causes helped include Sal's shoes, Comic Relief, Cancer Research, Sam and Bear Woking Hospice Centre and the Woking Foodbank (Sythwood).

Environmental - From an environmental standpoint, the School has taken, and continues to take, steps to reduce its carbon footprint, by undertaking energy efficiency initiatives. LED lighting is installed throughout the School buildings, with sensors to cut energy consumption where rooms are empty. Work continues on the School's Estate to bring its running to as efficient place as possible. Increased waste recycling is encouraged and social responsibility is embedded in the curriculum using the UN Sustainability goals and the introduction of the Future World Team, which is a group of children of mixed age who decide which charities and what actions the School should be taking to protect the environment. The School hopes that its actions will in turn help the School's pupils to understand the importance of these issues, as they will become the leaders in future, driving initiatives for public benefit.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

Following the School's move to its new location in September 2019, it has continued to flourish and grow.

Little School

In January 2021, Greenfield opened Little School - a 50 week a year day care provision for children from 6 months to 4 years. The investment work that was carried out to create the first-class facility was significant and the addition to the Greenfield offer has been well received by current parents and the wider Greenfield community. The staff that were involved in this development worked exceptionally hard and this setting has been a huge success. Whilst primarily being a day care setting, children in Little School have access to the similar opportunities as the rest of the School: they are taught music by specialist teachers for music, dance, PE, art and forest school; they have access to all areas of the School's extensive estate; and their deliciously hearty meals are prepared by our Chef and their team.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 August 2021

New Building

The School's large-scale extension project received planning permission in March 2020 and, from that date to starting works on site in May 2021, the team continued to agree the specification of works required and the extent of landscaping works required. The project has developed well and it is hoped that the building will be occupied during the 2021-2022 academic year.

To complement the extension project, pupil numbers are growing at a rapid rate and the School is nearing being full. The two-form entry model complements the School's varied and rich curriculum. Considerable work continues to bring the extension project to a successful completion and Trustees thank all of those involved.

COVID-19

Greenfield has continued to feel the impacts of COVID-19 during the 2020-2021 academic year. The School remained open throughout the year and Staff worked tirelessly to ensure that all children (whether on site or at home isolating for periods of time), were able to access the curriculum and be fully enriched in their learning. Staff were repeatedly praised by parents throughout the academic year for its regular and clear communications with parents and the quality of the offer.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended 31 August 2021

STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance Pupil Achievement

Trustees are pleased to report that, along with parents, staff and the children, enthusiastic support continues for Mrs Botting and her Senior Leadership Team. Pupil numbers remain high and the School is increasingly well known in the community for excellent standards and scholarship achievements. This year, 26 Year 6 pupils were offered 65 places at selective, independent senior schools and these included 26 scholarships/exhibitions for Sport, Drama, Music and Academic achievement.

Educational Standards

In 2019, The School was subject to successful FCI ISI and Material Change Inspections. Whilst no inspections took place in 2020-2021, work continued to ensure that standards remain as high as ever and the School continually adapts to new regulation and teaching practices.

The Demographics of Woking

Residential development remains high in the Woking area as the town continues to attract new families with the lure of the fast and regular train service to central London. The impact of COVID-19 has seen the influx of families to the area grow even more. This development helps to maintain a high demand for places in the School which has made substantial progress under Mrs Botting's headship. Trustees have been reassured by the increasing pupil numbers and the stable income has enabled Trustees to support the large-scale expansion project.

The Trustees are confident that in the medium and longer term, with the School's current reputation and competitive fee structure, there will be a satisfactory demand for places at Greenfield to ensure the future of the School. The additional services offered to parents of Little School and extended wrap around care (which includes a cooked breakfast and tea) continues to be very popular and is vital with many busy working parents.

The School Buildings

The site on the Old Woking Road needed significant refurbishment to bring it up to standard, including lighting, IT and furniture and additional temporary accommodation was leased from Portakabin while the extension is being built. Feedback from staff and pupils alike has been very positive and the School continues to look into reduced energy consumption initiatives. The Bursar continues to work with the School's IT contractor to ensure the resilience of the School's IT system is maintained. The Finance & Capital Requirements Committee continues to oversee and approve expenditure on key infrastructure projects surrounding refurbishments of the building (as highlighted by the Bursar and Estates and Health & Safety committee).

The School's Educational Investment

The increased number of staff that are now required to run the School have been a welcome addition and they have been successful in role. The School continues to invest heavily in special educational needs as well as additional classroom teaching support and this recognises and benefits those children with exceptional talents as well as those with less ability. The School continues to include any additional support for SEND within the fees, as long as the School has the required specialism. The Learning Enrichment team includes staff with specialisms in play therapy and Emotional Literary Support. This has been extremely beneficial to the School's children as required support can be identified and deployed more quickly and with no additional charge to the parents. Significant investment in staff training has continued in the year. The School's senior leadership regularly appraise the staff to understand their aspirations and identify the training needs. Focus will continue to be maintained on this.

The Parents

The Trustees are most appreciative of the ongoing support given by the Parents and Friends of Greenfield School (FROGS), both in financial as well as general support terms. FROGs has continued to provide financial help to the School, which is of a general nature, enabling non routine items of expenditure to be incorporated into the normal school budget to the ultimate advantage and benefit of all the children. This year the parents raised funds for a camera and recording equipment for the Music team along with a set of Virtual Reality headsets. Both are used extensively in School and a fantastic addition to the School's offer.

Trustees would like to note that, with the reduced ability to hold large fundraising events as a result of COVID-19, the work completed in 2020-2021 academic year by FROGS to raise funds was even more appreciated.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended 31 August 2021

STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review

Overview

As set out above, pupil numbers continue to grow at a rapid rate. Investment income has reduced by £16,312 on 2020 after selling one of the investment properties last year. No rent review is due this year for the School's investment property. The income generated continues to provide bursary opportunities for pupils who would not ordinarily be able to attend the School and these investments are also of vital importance to the School's long-term development plan. Donations this year totalled £9,987 (£16,880 in 2020).

All staff are paid in accordance with the Greenfield Pay Scale, which is set with reference to the industry in general and with due regard to specific Independent Schools Benchmarking Surveys, such as 'Baines Cutler'. Individuals are therefore paid according to the job they do which is defined within specific pay point ranges in the Greenfield Pay Scale. This applies equally to the senior leadership roles. The Greenfield Pay Scale is reviewed annually by the Trustees to decide whether inflationary and/or performance increases are awarded. The Trustees set the Headmistress' salary and the Headmistress, in consultation with the Trustees, sets the salaries of the Senior Leadership Team.

Costs rose year on year mainly from salaries, increased spending on facilities upgrades and other one-off expenses. Salaries increased this year in order to reflect inflationary and merit increases as well as additional staff for the new areas of the School (including Little School). Catering costs have increased in line with the additional people in school.

The School made a loss for the year of £449,016 (2020: loss of 242,136). This is shown after taking account of depreciation of buildings and equipment of £217,098 (2020: £165,223) The School increased borrowings to fund the large-scale expansion project at its new site. The School continues to generate strong inflows of cash; the closing position of £1,477,345 is a decrease of £2,043,501 on 2020. The Trustees remain confident to invest in the future of the School as it continues to expand in 2021/22.

Reserves policy

The School's reserve policy is regularly monitored by the Trustees and is designed to ensure the ongoing future of the School. These reserves are held in the form of an investment property previously gifted to the School, together with short term liquid assets. The School receives the bulk of its income in termly instalments and therefore to guard against short term cash flow problems, the policy stipulates that the School should keep funds equivalent to three months operational costs in liquid assets to guard against any delays in receiving fee income. This equates to £750,000, which is held in an interest-bearing bank account.

Summary

The Trustees consider that the financial affairs of the School are excellent. Fee Income remains strong, both from Core Education and from the extensive Wrap-Around Care that Greenfield offers. This is continually popular amongst the School's parents many of whom have both parents working full time. The cost of provision of the education is closely monitored, monthly budget reports are created and distributed for greater analysis and control. Any surplus of income over expense is utilised to upgrade the buildings and facilities to continuously improve the educational environment, whilst ensuring the aims of the long-term development plan are also financially planned

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The company is limited by guarantee, operates as a school and is a registered charity. The charity is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association of Greenfield School.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended 31 August 2021

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Structure, Governance and Management

The board of Governors, who are also trustees, has been established to provide the widest possible range of expertise, not only in the educational field but also in the area of business and finance generally. It remains the policy of the School that the Board continues to maintain this diversity, which ensures that the School has the benefit of a multi-talented governing body and these skills can be drawn on for the benefit of the School, not only as an educational establishment but also as an organisation within the local community.

The Governing body continues to have absolute authority in establishing the broad policies within which the School must operate, monitors the financial and budgetary controls, examines the policy concerning financial reserves and continually reviews the risk management strategies that are in place and ensures that the School fully complies with the requirements as set out in the charity memorandum and articles.

The day-to-day management of the School however, remains the responsibility of the Headmistress, who is also an ex officio governor and as such reports to the board on a regular basis.

The School

The School, which is sited in a central location within Old Woking, 1.5 miles from the centre of the built-up area of Woking, now has the benefit of extensive playing fields.

It is a fundamental policy of the School that Greenfield should maintain its unique position in the local community and continue its long-established history of involvement with neighbouring organisations and activities.

The Governors ensure that, whenever practical, School facilities are made available to other institutions (either not for profit or for profit).

Risk management

The Governors have reviewed, and indeed continue to reassess the risks to which the charity is exposed and has implemented policies to mitigate those risks. To best monitor the management and operation of the School, the Governors have created four sub-committees that meet to review process and issues and provide summary feedback to the full Governor meetings held on a termly basis. The subcommittees comprise:

Legal Compliance & Governance Education and Safeguarding Estates and Health & Safety Finance & Capital Requirements

All Policies and Risks identified are owned by the appropriate sub-committee and are constantly reviewed. One of the biggest immediate risks the School may face is the impact of either closure or reduced pupil numbers as a result of COVID-19. The School is mitigating this risk through extended provision and education which has been well received by parents. In addition, 'Loss of Charitable Status' is a further risk. There continues to be debate at Government level on the Charitable Status of Independent schools, based on whether the requirement to be of Public Benefit can be met. Governors firmly believe this to be the case.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF GREENFIELD SCHOOL

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Greenfield School (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 August 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 charitable company'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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Page 9

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF GREENFIELD SCHOOL

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 charitable company'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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 10

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF GREENFIELD SCHOOL

Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.

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

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF GREENFIELD SCHOOL

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 August 2021

1. 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.

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.

Fee income is stated net of scholarships and bursaries together with amounts charged for clubs, trips and other extras, net of the associated costs.

Deferred Income

Where income is received in advance of meeting any performance related conditions and there is not unconditional entitlement to the income, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income until the performance conditions are met.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies receivable for the general purpose of the school are credited to unrestricted funds.

Investment income

Income from investment properties and interest on funds held on deposit are included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity. Rental income is recognised when it is due and interest is recognised when it is received.

Expenditure and irrecoverable vat

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.

Irrecoverable vat is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis and are allocated to a specific activity where costs relate directly to that activity.

Costs of generating funds are the costs directly attributable to raising funds.

Charitable expenditure includes all costs directly relating to the objective of the charity and the costs involved in supporting that work.

Governance costs relate to the costs of legal and professional fees and audit fees.

Support costs include those costs connected with the management of the charity's assets, organisational management and administration and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. These include all expenditure not directly related to the charitable activity or fundraising ventures.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets

Individual assets costing £750 or more are capitalised and valued at historical cost. All other assets under this amount are expended to the statement of financial activities.

Investment property

The investments are stated at market value at the Balance Sheet date. Profits and losses on revaluation of the assets at the end of the year are reflected in the accounts in the Statement of Financial Activities.

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.

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

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets purchased under finance leases are capitalised as fixed assets and depreciated over the term of the lease. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charges to future periods. Finance charges are written off to the SOFA over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for administration and support staff. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. Teaching staff are included in the Government's teacher's pension scheme. Contribution rates are set by the Scheme Actuary and advised to the Board by the Scheme Administrator at the Department of Education and Employment. Pension benefits are based on final pensionable salary. Contributions payable for the year are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities.

21. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

a) Teachers

The teachers' superannuation scheme is a contributory scheme administered by the Department for Education and Employment. The scheme automatically covers teachers who have not elected to opt out of the scheme in order to make alternative pension provision. Greenfield School is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities as each employer in the scheme pays a common contribution rate. The most recent valuation of the Scheme resulted in a revision to the contribution rate structure with employee rates varying between 7.4% and 11.7% from April 2015. Employer contributions will continue for the period at the recently increased rate of 23.68%. The scheme provides pension benefits based on pensionable salary. The superannuation cost charge represents contributions payable to the fund and amounted to £252,690 (2020: £244,418).

b) Other Staff

The school also operates defined contribution schemes for other staff members and those teachers who chose to opt out of the Department for Education and Employment scheme referred to above. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the school in funds administered by Insurance Companies. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable in respect of these scheme and amounted to £112,137 (2020: £84,534).

22. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES

There were no related party transactions for the year ended 31 August 2021.

23. MEMBERS LIABILITY

The liability of the members are limited. Members are liable to contribute to the assets of the company in the event of a wind up. They are liable while they are members and for a year after. The amount of this liability is restricted to £10 per member.
