Swimming
Both the 25m and 50m indoor swimming pools owned and operated by the Foundation are available for public use. During the 2020-21 year there have been 50,120 total attendances.
The Learn to Swim Programme has taught 450 children and 30 adults this year. The pools host 10 swimming clubs, 1 triathlon club, 3 water polo clubs and 2 aqua hockey clubs. The Swim Centre has trained 12 coaches on 1 coaching course, 12 lifeguards on 1 course and delivered 18 Rescue Awards for Swimming Coaches and Teachers on 2 courses. The facilities are available for use by local primary schools and during the 2020-21 year 7 local schools received swimming lessons.
Mount Kelly Swim Centre is also host to residential swim camps and swim schools. The closure of the pools due to Covid-19 restrictions during the year has resulted in a drop off in the number of swimmers in attendance. However, 105 swimmers attended residential camps and 95 swimmers attended Swim School.
The 50m pool has heralded a huge improvement in the Mount Kelly swim programme, with resulting reputational benefits for town and locality.
Sports facilities
A range of facilities are used by local organisations:
All weather pitches Tavistock Hockey Club, Tavistock Rugby Football Club Campus Dartmoor Velo, Tavistock Triathlon, High Five, Archery Club, Spooners and West Dartmoor Pony Club Wortham Hall Stannary Brass Band Sports Hall MCCF Cricket Hub, Brendon Worth Cricket School, Rugby Tots, Tavistock Badminton Club Sports fields Football camps Courts Local Fives club

The Charity has continued to its move towards a policy of granting a greater proportion of means-tested bursary awards, making such awards this year to the value of £833,411 (2020: £786,536).

THE MOUNT KELLY FOUNDATION
TRUSTEE’S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
Volunteers
The Parents’ Association maintains its interest in the life of the School, raising funds to support non-curriculum activities, and a significant number of parents support the extra-curricular life of the School as volunteers. Fundraising for a new Adventure Playground at Mount Kelly Prep School was a key project during the last year, with construction completed during 2020-21; the playground is now open for use by pupils.
Review of Achievements and Performance for the Year
Operational Performance of the School
In the academic year 2020-21 Mount Kelly had a total of 601 pupils on-roll, maintaining an increase of over 30% since the foundation of Mount Kelly in 2014. There are currently 625 pupils on roll for the 2021-22 year cementing the growth for a further year.
Mount Kelly has a philosophy that is committed to an all-round education, and the provision of a wide range of extra-curricular opportunity enables our pupils to explore, grow and develop as well rounded individuals.
A Level results were again strong, 31% of papers taken were awarded an A, 54% were graded A-A and 73% A*-B, all of which are well above the national average. 83% of pupils secured their places at their first choice of university, including universities in Europe and Hong Kong, and once again a number of pupils gained scholarships at universities in the USA.
There was another outstanding set of GCSE results this year. 47% of all grades awarded were 9-7, almost twice the national figure, and 94% of all examinations taken were awarded 9-4. 97% of Mount Kelly pupils were awarded grades 9-8.
There was also success at the Prep, with pupils winning places and scholarships not only at the College, but also at other well know HMC schools.
2020-21 was not a full season for swim pupils, however there were still notable achievements, with 120 (2020: 103) pupils qualifying for regionals. 50 Mount Kelly swimmers also qualified for the 2021 British Championships. Other successes include:
-
4 International swimmer selections; Tokyo Paralympics, European Junior Championships and European Senior Championships
-
6 Old Mount Kellians qualified for Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics
The School is also making significant progress across a wider range of sporting commitment. The games programme has grown, with a wider range of sporting options and more fixtures across the range enable more pupils to represent the School. This has been impacted by lockdown but a clear pattern of participation and success has been firmly established.
2020-21 saw the launch of the partnership with Chelsea FC Foundation to launch a girls football programme. The team were unbeaten over the summer and a number of fixtures are scheduled for the 2021-22 year.
Our youngest sportsmen and women receive much improved and regular quality coaching and the overall quality of the provision at the Prep school has strengthened markedly, with again a growth in the quantity and quality of fixtures.
Music continues to be a strength of the school with pupils, ensembles and choirs performing to an executional standard. The senior choir is particularly talented and received national recognition and our pupils continue to perform in many local events. Associated Board music exam uptake remains strong with considerable success at every level. The School maintains a very lively programme of informal concerts.
The School also runs a programme of public concerts, welcoming to the School professional soloists and ensembles of the highest caliber, performing to our own pupils and to the wider community. This programme has naturally been curtailed during Covid-19 restrictions but will return to the school at the earliest opportunity.

THE MOUNT KELLY FOUNDATION
TRUSTEE’S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
Outdoor pursuits remain an important element of Mount Kelly’s extra-curricular life, although restrictions have seriously curtailed this activity over the last 18 months. As the School returns to some sort of normality, pupils in Years 6, 7 and 8 have been most fully engaged in the Learning Outside the Classroom programme, spending time during the summer term learning in the natural environment, and the addition of sail training on Olga , the School’s cutter, has added an extra dimension to our offering. While at the College we maintain a high profile in the Ten Tors Challenge and the Devizes to Westminster International Canoe Race, and a lively involvement in Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards, such activity has been severely impacted by the pandemic. A full return to action as soon as possible is planned.
In Performing Arts, a significant number of pupils this year once again took LAMDA examinations with Distinction passes at Grade 8. Drama productions have been affected by the lockdown but impressive plans that had been in place, and the introduction of BTEC Performing Arts has given pupils another avenue through which their passions can be developed.
The Trustee would like to thank all involved with the Foundation for going the extra mile during the pandemic year.
Future Developments
The next five years will see the implementation of the Strategic Plan, which was launched during 2020-21. The strategy gives clear direction to the Charity and to continue to build on the quality of the educational experience at Mount Kelly and within the broader strategic imperative of ensuring commercial sustainability.
Financial Review
The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is set out on page 18 of the financial statements. Incoming resources were £10,019,121 (2020: 9,029,544). The primary source of income in the year was the receipt of school fees.
The total net movement in funds for the year was a surplus of £494,788 (2020: deficit of £176,623). The total net movement of unrestricted funds was £134,339 (2020: deficit of £172,506). The total net movement of restricted funds was £319,630 after £101,882 revaluation gains on investments (2020: £23,512 after £6,268 revaluation losses on investments). The total net movement of endowment funds was £40,819 after revaluation gains on investments of £66,805 (2020: deficit of £27,629 after revaluation losses of £26,070). Note 6 details the total expenditure on the various elements of the Foundations’ charitable activities. Details of the net movement in restricted funds are given in note 16.
Going Concern
The Trustee has continued to assess the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and what impact it will have on the ongoing operations of the charity. The school has continued to provide teaching throughout the year and pupil recruitment remains strong for the academic year ahead.
The Trustee has reviewed the current position and does not anticipate any material changes to the operations of the School. In light of this, the Trustee is confident that the Charity has adequate resources in place and consider it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.
Reserves Policy
The reserves policy of the Foundation is to maintain free reserves equal to approximately one full term’s expenditure. Use of reserves should always be planned and approved in advance by the Trustee and should be accompanied by a clear business case, articulating, as far as possible, how the funds are intended to be used. The policy is reviewed annually.
At the year end, total unrestricted reserves held by the Foundation amounted to £14,067,748 (2020: £13,933,409). The restricted reserves held by the Foundation were £2,684,379 (2020: £2,364,749). The endowment reserves held by the Foundation were £616,764 (2020: £575,945).

TRUSTEE’S REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
Risk Management
The Trustee has assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed as including, failure to meet legal requirements, negative publicity, too few sources of income, exposure to fraud and not having adequate insurance cover.
The Trustee has reviewed these areas of potential risk and concluded that, operationally, these risks are significantly mitigated; record keeping is performed by the Mount Kelly Foundation which has adequate internal controls, insurance cover is reviewed every year and a lawyer is on hand when needed. The exposure to a loss of income was taken into account when the investments and reserves policies were agreed.
Investment Policy and Objectives
The Trustee is responsible for the oversight of the implementation of the investment policy and monitoring the performance of investments. The Board seeks professional advice when required. The Board gives guidance as to the balance required between income and capital growth, risk parameters and the investment strategy having due regard to the law and regulations on the investment of charitable assets.
The investment policy of the Foundation is to generate a positive financial return on funds over a medium to long term period through a balanced portfolio with a low risk profile and low capital volatility.
The investments are managed by Brewin Dolphin Limited.
Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities
The Trustee is responsible for preparing the Trustee report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and the Group and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustee is required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
-
Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent

Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in operation.
The Trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity and the Group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MOUNT KELLY FOUNDATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Mount Kelly Foundation (the 'parent charity') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 August 2021 which comprise the Consolidated statement of financial activities, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Charity balance sheet, the Consolidated 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charity's affairs as at 31 August 2021 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 Trustee's 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 Group's or the parent 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 Trustee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MOUNT KELLY FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Trustee's Report and Financial Statements other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Trustee is responsible for the other information contained within the Trustee's Report and Financial Statements. 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. 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 course of 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Trustee's report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
the parent Charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or
-
the parent Charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of the Trustee
As explained more fully in the Trustee's responsibilities statement, the Trustee is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustee determines 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 Trustee is responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent 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 Trustee either intends to liquidate the Group or the parent charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 Auditors' 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.
Page 15
THE MOUNT KELLY FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MOUNT KELLY FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
-the nature of the sector, control environment and Group performance;
-
results of our enquiries of management, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
-
any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Group’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to: identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud, which included incorrect recognition of revenue, management override of controls using manual journal entries, purchase ledger and payroll, and identified the greatest potential for fraud as incorrect recognition of revenue and management override using manual journal entries.
In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Group operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Companies Act, the Charities SORP and the Charities Act.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Group’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. These included safeguarding regulations, data protection regulations, occupational health and safety regulations, education and inspections legislation, and employment legislation. Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:
-
reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect on the financial statements;
-
reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess the recognition of revenue;
-
enquiring of management and those charged with governance concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
-
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
-
reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing internal control reports; and
-
in addressing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; and assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members, and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
Page 16
THE MOUNT KELLY FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MOUNT KELLY FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from an error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.
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 Auditors' report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustee, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustee 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 charity and its trustee, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE MOUNT KELLY FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
1. Accounting policies
1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The Mount Kelly Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The Consolidated statement of financial activities (SOFA) and Consolidated balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Charity and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
1.2 GOING CONCERN
The Trustee has continued to assess the impact of the COVID19 outbreak and what impact it will have on the ongoing operations of the charity. The school has continued to provide teaching throughout the year and pupil recruitment remains strong for the academic year ahead.
The Trustee has reviewed the current position and does not anticipate any material changes to the operations of the school. In light of this, the Trustee is confident that the Charity has adequate resources in place and consider it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.
1.3 INCOME
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
1.4 EXPENDITURE
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Group to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Page 22
THE MOUNT KELLY FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.4 EXPENDITURE (CONTINUED)
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
1.5 GOVERNMENT GRANTS
Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Consolidated statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the Consolidated statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.
1.6 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
Tangible fixed assets costing £nil or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
| Freehold property | - 1 -2% straight line |
|---|---|
| Land | - not depreciated |
| Motor vehicles | - 15% straight line |
| Fixtures and fittings | - 10% straight line |
| Other fixed assets | - 6.67 - 25% straight line |
1.7 INVESTMENTS
Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Consolidated statement of financial activities.
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.
1.8 STOCKS
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
1.9 DEBTORS
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Page 23
THE MOUNT KELLY FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.10 CASH AT BANK AND IN HAND
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.11 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
1.12 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.13 FINANCE LEASES AND HIRE PURCHASE
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the Group. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors, net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Consolidated statement of financial activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
1.14 FUND ACCOUNTING
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustee in furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Group for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

The Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) is a statutory, contributory, defined benefit scheme, governed by the Teachers' Pension Scheme Regulations 2014. Membership is automatic for full-time teachers in academies. All teachers have the option to opt-out of the TPS following enrolment.
The TPS is an unfunded scheme to which both the member and employer makes contributions, as a percentage of salary - these contributions are credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.
The Government Actuary, using normal actuarial principles, conducts a formal actuarial review of the TPS in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and Employer Cost Cap) Directions 2014 published by HM Treasury every 4 years. The aim of the review is to specify the level of future contributions. Actuarial scheme valuations are dependent on assumptions about the value of future

costs, design of benefits and many other factors. The latest actuarial valuation of the TPS was carried out as at 31 March 2016. The valuation report was published by the Department for Education on 5 March 2019. The key elements of the valuation and subsequent consultation are:
-employer contribution rates set at 23.68% of pensionable pay (including a 0.08% administration levy) - total scheme liabilities (pensions currently in payment and the estimated cost of future benefits) for service to the effective date of £218,100 million and notional assets (estimated future contributions together with the notional investments held at the valuation date) of £196,100 million, giving a notional past service deficit of £22,000 million
- the SCAPE rate, set by HMT, is used to determine the notional investment return. The current SCAPE rate is 2.4% above the rate of CPI, assumed real rate of return is 2.4% in excess of prices and 2% in excess of earnings. The rate of real earnings growth is assumed to be 2.2%. The assumed nominal rate of return including earnings growth is 4.45%.
The next valuation result is due to be implemented from 1 April 2023.
A copy of the valuation report and supporting documentation is on the Teachers' Pensions website (https://www.teacherspensions.co.uk/news/employers/2019/04/teachers-pensions-valuation-report.aspx).

24. Related party transactions
A number of employees of the Charity have children who are pupils at the school and therefore pay fees to the School. All transactions are conducted in accordance with the Foundation's financial regulation and normal procurement procedures, although they are given staff discount of 50%-80%.
25. Principal subsidiaries
Mount Kelly operates three trading subsidiaries.
a) Mount Kelly Overseas Limited The Hong Kong company that signed a franchise agreement with the subsidiary company, Mount Kelly Overseas Ltd, has now opened a Mount Kelly Hong Kong Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep school.
Due to the impact of pandemic and the issues between Hong Kong and China, the overseas franchisee has been unable to make a contribution to the Foundation this year and, as a result, Mount Kelly Overseas Limited incurred a loss of £35,869 in the year.
b) Mount Kelly Swimming Limited
The company’s operations were severely impacted by the pandemic and both the 50m and 25m pools were closed for four months of the year. This resulted in lost income from both local users and swim clubs from further afield which normally stay in the Foundation’s accommodation on swim camps.
Consequently, the company incurred losses of £231,643 in the year after paying intra group rent to the Mount Kelly Foundation of £37,500. The Mount Kelly Foundation is committed to supporting its 100% subsidiary, by granting the subsidiary sufficient funds to cover this loss, as the pool brings benefits to the Foundation as a whole that far exceed this value.
c) Mount Kelly Enterprises Limited The company generated income from letting out of the Foundation's estate. The majority of this activity is over the summer and was therefore not impacted by COVID restrictions, to the same extent that it was in the previous year. The company generated a profit of £186,052 in the year.
