AcfiviTIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS OURING THÉ YEAR Covid-19 Pandemic Pupils ieturned to site in September 2020 after the school's closure for four months during the first national lockdown of the preceding academic year. A range of rneasures were taken ro protect against covid including 'bubblin< the Houses socially and for meals and sports. and opening a Day House so that day pupils did not mix unnecessarily with boarding pupils. The school also operated one-way sVStem5 for movement in buildings and installed outdoor wash bastns, sanitiser dispensers and lear signage at all point5 of entry. Staff and pupils were trained in covid safe-cleaning and hygiene method5 and the government's maxim of'Hands. Face. Space, was Constant promoted. For the Miehèelmas Term the school also stopped sports fixtures and trips. and cancelled exeais to try to limit transmission from outside. The school also ran its first quarantine for overseas pupils in Bancks House and continued to open the facility during half- terms and exeat5 to assist families who could not fly their children home. The UK government ordered two further national lockdowns in the academic year, the first being in November 2020 during which the School remained open. For pupils who could not attend school due to covid, hybrid lessons were offered with MOLE remote working tools offering access to live lessons. The school closed again on government advice. in Common with all UK schools, in January 2021. returning to online schooling and resuming operation on 51te in March 2021. with 'bubble5' Still in place.

THE COUNCIL OF MILTON A8BEY SCHOOL UMITED GOVERNORS REPORT INCORPORATING ThE STRATEGIC REPORT AND THE DIRECTORS REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUSf 2021 Academic Results 2021 was another successful year for un¢versity and further eilucaiion entry with a 98% fin31 placement rate. There was a slight increase in the application rale from the previous year OF 5%, taking us to 95% of ihe cohort continuing their education. The first- choice success rate remained high, with 96% of the cohort able to attend their preferred institution. Average A level and 8TEC points accruement remained largely constant. with 8TECs rising by a quarter grade and A Levels dropping by an eighth of a grade. Average student perfom)ance rose slightly overall. with an average tariff point increase equating to just over half an A Level grade, to 126pts or just below the equivalent of ABB at A Level. This consistency with the previous year dernonstrate5 the security of our systerns as we moved from the less-forMal supported Teacher Assessed Grade IYAG-I process of the previous year into the board-5ampled, pgrtf0lio-based TAG process of this year. The slight increase in overall university application continues to reflect the uncertainties Surrounding the world of work and progression for young people. but the success rates suggests that our students are well-served by a process ihat allows ihem to progress effectively. It is also notable that 73% of the cohort had a diagnosed learning difference and that Ouf performarn against baseline CAT4 data was ovenAfhelminEly posiflve for all groupings (gender, EAL. LD etc.) The entry profile remained as broad as ever. with studenis pursuing courses in various speoalist art and business schools, as well as traditional universities in ihe UK and overseas. indudin8 Belgium and the USA. Succe55ful UK appltcations included institutions ranging from SOAS (School gf African arbd Ortental Studte5, London), to Raven5bourne. to Durham, Cardiff and LoughbOr0gh, alongside the well-trodden paths to Oxford Brooke5, the Royal Agricultural University and Bristol UWE. Course interests were similarly broad, with the usual clusters around event management, bu5ine55, real estate, land-based studies, and filmmakin& with other 3reas Such as fashion. osteopathy, music production and football coaching and tèlent development also featuiing. The compari50n between GCSE and L2 BTEC grades from 2020-21 paints a similar pitture to the L3 result5 in that there was no significant upward5 shift Ibucking the national trend) despite the TAG 8rade process, hi8hli8hting again the integrty of our internal assessment and verification process. A'19 grades were slightly up from 6% in 2020 to 9% and grades An+ were down from 39% to 29% which reflects the differing CAT predictions ofthe 2021 cohort ofstudents. Overall, the pass rate at GCSE was 90%. seeing a 1% rise from 2020 and significantly higher than the 77% national average. We had another very successful 8TEC cohort, seeing ICK)% pa55 rate and 39% of our leamers achieved either Distinrtion or Distinction. Curricular activities With the UK entering a different period of the pandemic, a ran8e of curricular tIlPs has resumed, with departments or8anising for pupils to visit a range of venues relevant to their subjert. for example galleries and country-houses frjr art and photography trip5, as well as a range of land-ba5ed studies trips to local est3tes and suppliers tied into industries relevant to the study of Countryside Management. As we look further ahead to the resumption of less restricted overseas travel. we are planning to offer a cross- curricular trip to Washington OC and New York and departments are actively looking at further opportunities to enrich pupils, education in thi5 way a5 travel conditions evolve.

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR Pupil numbers at the start of the 2020121 academic year were slightty down at 20912019.. 2191 due to disruption to admissions activity during ihe summer 2020 term consequential to the pandemic. This placed some pressure on fee income given that the goverrbors elected to freeze the School lee for the 2020121 year at the same level as applicable for the previous academic year in support of parent and fee payers whose own income wa5 affected by covid 19 disnjpiion. For most of the year. costs were somewhat elevated due to necessary operational adjustments to keep pupils. staff and visitcirs as safe as possible. HDweveT, some costs saving5 werè available during the Spring term due to the inabilily of many pupits to attend school with lessons continuing online. A5 previously the gtsvernors monitored awailable savings carefully and passed these on to parents and fee p3yer5 to the greatest possible extent whilst maintaining some selveS in the knowledge that the impact of the pandemic was iontinuing. These measures enabled the group to return a modest net operating surplus amounting to £196,0631 being the net income for the vear less the business interruption insurance claim) despite the impact of cowd-1912020.. £235.432 2019.. £144.976.. 2018- £509.979,' 2017.. £178.1281.

Thi5 sum 15 reported within the results for the year ended August 2021, though it is paid in respert of both this and the previous financial year. It will be used to underwrite the school's financial performance and stability during the forthcoming post pandÈmic period and possible challenges ahead. The school started the 2021122 academic year with 3 slightly increased pupil numbers of 21112020.. 2091 despite ongoing disruption to admissions activity and the school's ability to welcome prospertive pupils and their families to the school site.
