Bursaries are subjed lo annual rè-assessment. Although in many case5 bur58ries are re-awarded in successive years, the
process of re-assessment does sometimes result in an increase or 8 rèduction in the amount of financial 8551slance that is
offered, reflectlng material changes in the financial position of the r8cipient families. Some finanryal assistan￿ is designated
as'hardship bursaries", this support being awarded for1imiled defined periods in the first instsnce, nomaily to as91Stfamilies
who experience redundancy or serious illness. Bursary grants are also made available lo cover the Costs of 'èxtras" such as
trips. unifomi and travel.
In recent years the amount of finan¢ial assistance provided by the School lo pupils and their families has increased
significantly. In 2020-21 Governors, Bursarie5 ranging from to lo0.￿ of fees were awarded to 54 pupils. In addition.

represent the school in a competitive fixture each year. are leslament to that. Lockdown, and precautions involved in
dealing wth the pandemic, led to inevitable changes during 2020-21 but the school retains all its eommrtments to co-
curricular excellence and the investment required to sustain them.
The extensive trips programme was also curtailed once ag8in. and only short day trips were possible for a period in the
Mi¢haelm8s Term and the Trinity Term. AN residential and ovèiseas trips had io be can￿lled.
Sport
In tem)s of fixtures, the boys, Rugby and Hockey seasons were lost almost in their entirely to lockdown and related Co￿d-
19 precautlons,. the girls, hockey and netball seasons were similar5y impacted. Nevertheless. the innovation and
commitment of the sports department meant that a great deal of sport was played. Summer sports were continued through
September 2020, and internal fixtures based around house competilion were a f8ature of the Rugby term, with almost all
play being touch rugby because of Covid-19 restrictions. The Hilary Terrn saw even less opportunity. wlth puplls only

More sport was possible in the Trinty Term. and the Tennis and Cricket dubs continued their progress and development
from recent years_ The 1st Xl Cricket won the regular 2 day game against Trent College convincingly, with the U15

school's outreach prograrnrne. Many perfomiances had lo be curtailed this year, but the reslricbons of lockdown were
turned into an opportunity by the Music and Drama departments collaborating to creale a film version of Les Misérables.
This proved to be one of the very best productions ihe school has Put on, and it is a great joy that it is preserved lor future

matthed by an anonyrnous donor in honour of inspiring MCS teacher. Nigel Bates. In recognition of the outcome of the
¢amp8ign, the Disbursements Committee agreed to name the Nigel Bates endowed bursary in perpetuity. funded from the
rob￿n9 8ndowment funds. The Committee also reviewed the purposes and management of other funds, reflecied in notes
accompanying Table 14a and 14b.
Fundraising continues to focus on bursaries and hardship. Finanaal modelling in 2018 showed that the level of endowment
to protect the then bursary offering {10% of Senior School pupils receive bursary SUp￿rt ranging from 10- 1 OO¢/o of fees)
would be £15 million. frorn which 8 40A retum would need to be drawn annually, whilst still preserving the real value of the
capital. The school made ils second annual contribution to the endowment in 2020-21, equivalent lo 1.25°h of Senior Stho
fees. Govemors have corHmrtted lo put up to 2.5% of Senior School fe8s into the Endowment from 2021-22. The
¢Jgvelopmenl aspiialion is that philanthropic donations, combined with the 5chotsl's contributions, will achieve an endowment
of £15rn by 2030. Those whose lifetime giving exceeds £1 million lo the endowment wll be celebrated as Modern Founders.
Mr Leo Goldschrnidl OW became the ffiist of these and his generosity is ￿lebrated through an illuminated letter L in the new
Endowment Book.
The school also raised funds for10¢81 families through its digital poverty campaign, buying over 100 laptops foi local
families who would otherwise not havè access to learning. The total income in 202¢>21 from gifts received, Grft Aid,
dividends and the school's wntribution totalled £958,234. Membership of the Stanier Legacy Society and the 1480 Society
have grown in the past year. donations lo the lalter equating to 86 mernbership gifts of £1.480. The number of le9acy gifts
incre8sed over the last year and are acknowledged in the Bridge and the Endowment Book, whorts appropriate.
The Covid-19 pandemic mean that events were held ￿lIne and the InC￿aSed frequency oftho a-newsletters continued.
Virtual events included a discussion of the creative arts, mentoiing and school uniform. The Bridge magazine featured
many who were in frontline roles and the ￿h0o1,$ new archlve collection. the Pandemic Papers. The Archive staff also
progressed on the modern records project. whi¢h catalogues papers since the ￿hool'S Independen￿ frorn the college.
The School is registered with the Fundraising Regulalor and has signed up to thè Fundraising Preference Service.
I fundraising is undertaken by School staff overseen by the Development Committee, which is a sub-commTrtteè of
Govemors. The School does not employ any commercial participalor to carry out fundraising adivily. The School is aware
of ils duties lo protect vulnerable people and so applies restrictions to ts campaigns. The Governois, Development
Committee oversees lundraising, alumni relations and the wider remti of the Waynflete Office and so also monitors wider
engagemgnt indi¢alots, such as number of donors. event attendanctr and communications activity.
Pr*mls•s and Infrydstructure
The school remains committed to maintaining and improving the quality of its e51ate and faciliiies whilst strategically
developing longer-tem projects as part of the Maslérplan adopted in June 2020.
Buildings, refurbishment, repa¢r and maintenance remains a significant area of expenditure. Annual investment plans forthe
estate are prodU￿d with forecast expenditure based on previous Condition Survey Reports alongside dep8rtment81 bids for
improvements, or changes. lo the physieAI èstate.
During the year significant work was undertaken to ensure the sile was Covid-19 secure. In addition, internal redecoration
and reflooring was undertaken in the Art Department, Geography. Ground floor corridors of Junior School and the second-
floor atrium ol the Colin S8nder5 Building. In some of these ￿hemeS. new LED lighting was fitte(l.
As part of our eommitment to becoming a more sustainable school, all Eststes projects must now quantify their carbon
impact. and where 8ffordable and practical, the most sustainable solution should be chosen. For example. direct mains-
water drinking ftNJnlains were installed in the Dining Hall, reducing dependence on bottled water, and a new Ground Source
Heat Pump was ffitted in the Michael Peagram building.
As part of MCS'S business continuity planning, new underground ducts were installed which enable additional fibre optic
cables to be laid, connecting our main servers across the sitè and building resilience within the IT infrastructure.
Professional fee bids were invited for a proje¢l whlch envisages changes lo th8 Michael Pegram building and the LTnk,
through alteraiions and extension. This early phase of work has resulted in 8 project brief being completed alory with the

During 2020-21 the school has reduced its total energy consumption by 128.9 MWh14.84Qk. resulting in an 8bsolule
reduction of 45.3 tC02e 18.23%, equal lo 10Yo per pupil. The baseline ￿porting year energy consumption included

the first Natlonal Lockdown and school dosure during 1he Trinity Term 2020. Durfng Ihe c)Jrrent reporting year, the
school operated virtually from January until March 2021.
During the ajrrent reporting period the consumption of Scope 1- Gas Oil appearslo have incseased, as fuel storage
was depleted arvj ￿p￿niShed during the current financial year. whilst there had been fewer deliveries of fuel
required in the previous reporting period. This accounts for 20 IC02e increase lo Scope 1 emissions during the

MCS have centralised all its compatible AMR Energy metering data and upgraded to SMART IAMR metering. The
improved visibility and granularity will assist in identity'ng possible wasta. control issues and promote energy
efficient behavioui across the school.
MCS has a rolling programme of lighting upgrades lo LED, as lighting in schools can account for approximately
30Y¢ of all electricity consumption. Swtching to LED lighting will redu￿ consumption of electricity for li9htiry by

Auditorfs re¥pon¥ibiliti•s for thè audtt of the flnanclal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assuran￿ about whether the frnancial statements as a whole are flee from material

a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit condueted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material
misstatement when it e￿Sts.
Misstatements can arllse from fraud or error and are ¢tsnsiderÈd material if, indiwdually or in the aggiegate, Ihey could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities. including fraud. are in51anc8s of mn-compliance with laws and re9ulali¢)ns. We design procedures in line with our
responsibilities. outlined above, to detect rnaterial misstatements in respect of iiregularities, including fraud. The extent lo whlch
our procedures are ￿pable of detecting irregularities. including fraud is detailed below".
Our approach to identfying arKI assessing the risks of material misstalament in respect of iffegularilies, induding fraud and non-
compliance with laws and regulations. was as follows..
the engagement partner ensured that the engagemènt team collectively had the appropriate competence. capabilities
and skills lo idenlfy or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regul81ions,'
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through dlscussions with governors and other
management, and from our knowledge and experience oflhe Client's business secior..
we focused on specffic laws and regulations which we eonsvjered may have a direct material effect on the finanaal
statements or the operations ol the charity,
we assessed the extent ol compllance wth the laws and regul8tion$ identified above through rnaking enquiries of
management., and
identified laws and regulations were communicated within th8 audit team regularly and the team remained alert to
instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the su￿p11b1l1lY of the ¢harily'$ financial statements to material misslalement. including obtaining an
understanding of how fraud might occur, by..
making énquirios of management as to vA)ere they considered there was susceptibility to fraud. Iheir knowledge of

The arrangements for a reformed Teachers, Pension Scheme. in line with the recommendations made by Lord
Hutton, in particular the introduction of a Career Average Revalued Earnings ICAREI scheme, were
implemented from 1 April 2015.
In December 2018, the Court of Appeal held that transitional protection provisions contsined in the reformed
judicial and firefighter pension schemes. introduced as part of public service pension reforms in 2015, gave
rise lo direct age discrimination and were therefore unlawful. The Supreme Court, in a decision made in June
2019, have Tejected the Govemment's application for permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's ruling. The
ease will now be referred lo an Employment Tribunal for a decision regarding the remedy which will need lo be
offered to those members of the two schemes who were subject of the age discrimination.
Under the definrtions set out in FRS 102, the TPS is a mulli*mployer pension scheme. The trust has accounted
