Publle Benefit
In planning th& activities for the year, thè Govemors have had regard to the Charty Commission's guidan￿ on
public bènèfit and in particular its supplementary guidance on 8dvancing education and fee charging. The
activit185 benefiled both thè adLslts and children ol WokirTrg and ils suirounding area and do not give rise to any
detriment or harm to the publi¢.
The Governors believe that the bursary system is essential to énsure that children from families who would
otherwise be unable to afford the School's fees may still attend the School. Thè Governors keep the School's
Bursary policy under constant review to help ensure the objective of wider aeeess continues to be achieved.
The bursary system is available to anyone who meets the School's entry requirements and based on ￿e parents,
rneans or in cases ol hardship, where a pupil's access to continued education at the School is at risk, for
exarnple, in case ol redundancy. The Governors, in carrying out the means lesling, have regard to many matters
Including but not limited to fami￿ income. investments. savings and personal circumstan￿$.
During the academic year, 10 pupils were awarded means tested bursariès 12023-24.. 81. Awards of bursaries
amounted to £71,707 this year, an increase from £40,344 in 2023-24. Seholarships with mon8tary value were
awarded to 10 pupils 1202>24.. 51 in the Sènior Prep and amounted lo £19.236 1202&24." £11.0341. Sibling

£88.7231. In addition, the School gave discounts to staff at a fee value of £213,42812023-24.. £186,944). Staff
discounts are a way ol providing assistance to key workers. Finally, the School introduced a Fees in Advance
Scherne lor the first time in 2024-25. providing lee discounts to a value of £38,420. The amount mada 8V8ilable
lor rneans tèsted bursaries together wilh all othgr awards represents 5.1010 of Gross Fee Income 1202>24..

gnsure a proper balance between fee paying parents. who are recognised as making personal sacrific85 in order
to educate their children at the School, and those who are 8W8rded bursaries.
A number of outreach activities were undèrtèkÈn during the year in support of local charities and schools, at no

Financial revlèw
Th8 financial and academic y8ai 2024-25 has been a successful year, which is particularty pleasing against a
difficult economic backdrop for the Independent School sector as a result of the imposition of VAT on lees,
removal of charitable business rates amongst other th￿at$. The School adapted well to these circumstancès
and managed to support the school community, by keeping fée increases as Ic)w as possible and absorbing as
much ol the 3dditional costs as ptsssible, without n8gatlV81y impacts'ng tha pupils, educats'on or tha ability lo
opèrate as a going concern.
During 2024 2025, significant Capital investment was made in the roof of the Mansion House. lor which
additional loan financing was obtained. The capitalisation ol the roof repair coincides with an impairment to the
value ol the property in line with the valuation obtained in 2021 adjusted for inflation. The impairment offsets the
rev8lu8lior) reserve. the remaining ifflpairrnenl charge is shown in note 12.
The results for the year and the financial position of thè School are as shown in the annexed financial
statements. The Schoc>l monitors its financial perforTnance against a series ol Key Performance Indicators

HOE BRIDGE SCHOOL LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT {CONTINUEDI
TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOE BRIDGE SCHOOL LIMITED
Extent to which th• aLtdlt was ¢onsidered capabl& ol dètecting irregularltlès. including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compliallce with laws and regulations. We dèsigll procedures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council's website. to deteel matÉrial
misstatements in respect of irisgularities. including fraud.
We obtain and update our understsnding of the entity. its activities, its coritrol environment, and likely futu
developrnents, including in relation to the leg213nd regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying
with that framework. Based (Jn this understanding, we identify and assess the risks ol material misstatement ol the
rillancial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive lo those risks,
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and apprtrpriat8 to provide a basis for our opinion. This indudes
consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary lo applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
In response lo the risk of irregularities and non-complian￿ with laws and regUlat￿nS. including fraud, we designed
procedures whi¢h included..
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around 8Ctual and polential litigation and
laims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud..
Reviewing minutes ol meeb'ngs ol thos8 charged with govemante",
Assessing the extent ol cotnpliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material
effect on the financial statèm8nts or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection,.
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and lesling to supporting documentation to assess compliance
with applicable18ws and regulations.,
Pgrforming audit work over the risk of manag8m8nl bias and override ol controls. including testing of
joumal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant
transactions OLJtslde the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of
potential bias.
B8cause of the inherent limitations of an audvt. there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including thos8
leading to a material misstatement in the financial statement5 or non-complian￿ wlh regulation. This risk
increases the more that eompliance with a law or regulation is removed Iiom the events and transactions reflected
in the financial statèmènts, as we will be less likely lo become awarè of instances of noTrcompliance. The risk ol
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud 15 higher than for one resulting from error. as fraud may
involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions, misrepre5enlalions, or the override tsf internal control.
Use of our report
This report is mad8 solely to the eharitable Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Ch8ptgr 3 of Part 16
ol the Ctsmpani8s Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might stale to th6 charitaile company's

assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually 18viewed and

reasonable under the circumstances.

investments. economic utilisation, and the physical condition of assets. See Note 12 for the carrying aTnounts
of tangible fixed assets.
