THE FREWEN EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) GOVERNORS' REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS REPORT)

Governors are selected on the basis of their extensive knowledge and experience in relevant sectors. The Chairman ensures that a broad balance of experience is maintained encompassing the spheres of education, finance, and business, as well as social and moral guidance.

Governors are encouraged to attend those training courses and conferences which they consider helpful in broadening and deepening their existing knowledge and strengths and as necessary to ensure ongoing compliance.

The school is governed through a Company limited by guarantee, by an independent Board of Directors which oversees the management and sets the policies for the school. The Board members fulfil the roles of school Governors and act as Trustees. The Principal attends board meetings, and is entitled to sit on the Board if he so chooses. The Board meets once a term as a minimum. The Board has also established a Finance and General Purposes Committee, a Health and Safety Committee, an Education Committee, a Boarding and Pastoral Committee, and a Marketing Committee, each of which meets at least once a term. An independent visitor attends school twice per term and checks aspects of safeguarding including the Single Central Register and checks on the wellbeing of boarders. The executive function is managed and accomplished by a Senior Leadership Team led by the Principal. The day-to-day running of the School is delegated to the Senior Leadership Team.

The school is registered with the Department for Education (DfE), the Council for the Registration of Schools Teaching Dyslexic Pupils (CReSTeD) and UK Visas and Immigration. It is approved by the Independent Schools’ Association and the Children’s Education Advisory Service, and is a member of the Boarding Schools’ Association, and a Supporting Corporate Member of the British Dyslexia Association.

Risk management

The principal risks are considered to be:

THE FREWEN EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) GOVERNORS' REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS REPORT)

Objectives and activities

The principal object of the Charity is that of maintaining an independent co-educational school, known as Frewen College. The aim of the school is to be a centre of excellence for educating children with Specific Learning Difficulties such as Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and closely related difficulties including Speech and Language and Sensory Integration problems. The school includes a junior section known as Frewen Preparatory School, and a Sixth Form, which together cater for pupils aged 7-19.

The Company is established to deliver the following principal objects:-

a) to promote the cause of education;

b) in furtherance of that object, to establish and carry on any school or schools; to acquire any school as a going concern subject to any liabilities thereto;

c) to provide for the training and instruction of pupils in any school so acquired or established in every branch of learning and knowledge; in citizenship, and in arts and crafts of all kinds, and on the basis of broad Christian principles to provide such pupils with spiritual, moral, mental and physical training in a nondenominational environment;

d) in furtherance of the foregoing objects to do all or any of the things laid down in the Memorandum of Association.

In pursuit of the school's specialist educational objectives all appropriate classroom staff including teaching assistants are expected to undertake specialist training. Full time therapists are employed offering speech and language, occupational, sensory integration, and Johansen IAS sound therapies. Small class sizes are maintained, and individual provision plans are prepared for each pupil. Additional reading tuition is provided for all pupils in small groups as well as regular intensive numeracy tuition.

Governors regularly review the structure of the school, which led to a Sixth Form being established (in 2014) in partnership with Bexhill Sixth Form College. The Senior Leadership Team was also restructured in 2016 to better align Teaching and Learning with the specific needs of our pupils.

Guidance is provided to parents seeking Local Authority funding, and a means tested bursary scheme is available to assist parents of limited means who are unable to obtain funding. Services Bursaries are available to assist Service families. During the year, 5 pupils benefited from bursary support.

Following the aftermath of the pandemic, we were delighted to have a normal school year ahead of us, with many of the school events happening for the first time in two years. We won two prestigious awards, Winner for ISI Outstanding Provision for Learning Support and finalist in ISI Senior School of the Year, and as a treat, we took the whole school out on the Northiam/Tenterden steam railway in December 2021. Other events included termly non-uniform days, Prep school cross country, Prep school swimming gala, Sports Day and Prize Giving. We had two residentials trips, a Prep school camping trip to Blacklands, East Sussex and the Seniors to Kingswood Activity, Isle of Wight. A number of educational visits also took place including, Art trip to Dungeness, Year 8 Geography trip to Glyne Gap, Canterbury Cathedral and a theatre trip to see The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. We recognised that a lot of our students felt anxious after the two years of disruption, dealing with constant change and the opportunity to develop socially. We put on a number of fun trips for the school including Activities Week, which included team building skills, a day trip to Chessington, Thorpe Park and Bewl Water.

GOVERNORS' REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS REPORT)

THE FREWEN EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED

The school continues to extend its pastoral activities with both boarding and day pupils. Designated staff have time allocated for mentoring activities and have undertaken specialist training. Tutor time allows tutors to check pupils’ welfare throughout the day; along with timetabled PSHEE (Personal Social Health and Economic Education) lessons across the school and SEAL (Social and Emotional Aspects of Learning) lessons for KS2 & 3. The PSHEE curriculum has been developed to ensure that we are addressing pupils’ emotional wellbeing, as well as physical wellbeing. Boarding Care staff regard the social development of their pupils as an integral part of their role. Pupils are encouraged to join external groups such as Sea Cadets and Athletics Clubs, and to give enthusiastic support to fundraising activities such as MacMillan Nurses, The Teenage Cancer Trust and more local charities like St Michael’s Hospice. We offer a range of enrichment activities after school, including archery, fencing, bush craft and garden clubs, modern languages, kayaking, GCSE revision, art and music; and all pupils (boarding and day pupils) are actively encouraged to take part in these activities.

The school remains committed to maintaining small class sizes, thus ensuring that teachers know and understand all of their pupils’ needs, giving pupils the environment in which they can achieve their potential.

Achievements and performance

The school’s boarding provision was inspected by Ofsted in November 2021 and assessed as ‘Good’. Boarders, who previously experienced significant difficulties at school, respond to the individualised support provided and make excellent progress.

The School is now inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate which in May 2019 found it to be compliant with its standards in all respects.

The most recent CReSTeD report also reports extremely positively on all aspects of the school.

We encourage pupils to sit GCSE exams in as many subjects as we believe they can manage. Those we think cannot cope with GCSE level are entered for the Entry Level Certificate or other qualification appropriate to their ability so that they have a goal to aim for and a reward for their efforts. These other qualifications can also provide a stepping stone to subsequently sitting the appropriate GCSE exam.

We have increased the number of BTEX courses, particularly at Level 2, over the two yeaqrs, now offering Music, Performing Arts, Health & Social Care and Travel & Tourism as more coursework based alternatives to GCSE. The percentage of exam entries at GCSE or equivalent level was 89%, 6% lower than last year’s highest ever.

The percentage of 9-4 grades at GCSE or equivalent was 59% compared to 61% in 2019. If we discount 2020 and 2021. this was the second highest ever and considering the lower average cognitive ability and, more significantly, the disruption of the last two years, we are pleased with this outcome. Sixth Form Level 3 courses achieved the average points score was 72, slightly above the 2019 score of 68, and the highest ever, not counting the pandemic years. The average attainment at Level 3 was a D grade.

5

THE FREWEN EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) GOVERNORS' REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS REPORT)

Notable performances included B Grades achieved in A Level Maths, Physics and Business Studies; and students securing places at University of Essex, Kingston University and Water Bears Music College to continue studies to degree level. On level 2 courses average point score was 18, the second highest ever (excepting the pandemic years), the highest being 21 in 2019. The average attainment at Level 2 was a Merit. Once again there was a 100% pass rate across all level two and three courses .

Financial review

The past year has seen a strong focus on increasing pupil numbers through reputation, marketing and raising awareness of the school, following which the pupil roll increased from 137 to 145 by the start of the Summer term 2022.

This growth in pupil numbers along with robust financial management resulted in a surplus of £279,773

We continued to invest in the school IT facilities upgrading of Wi-Fi system, buying new laptops and smart screens. Further capital expenditure items included new fencing, Prep playground equipment and the start of the refurbishment programme of the boarding houses . We were successful with our planning application for the expansion of the kitchen, servery and dining room(s) within the Main house and we anticipate these changes happening in 2023. We are still in the feasibility stage for the new build.

As at the Balance Sheet date, the school had unrestricted reserves of £1,508,858 compared to £1,229,085 in 2021. These funds are to be kept at the discretion of the Governors to further any of the Charity's objectives.

Fees have been reviewed from September 2022, although Governors recognise the need to maintain affordability of school fees and have continued to restrict the level of fee increase as far as is consistent with financial prudence.

Remuneration of Senior Management

The day-to-day running of the school is delegated to the Principal and Senior Leadership Team.

The remuneration of key management is set by Governors, with the policy objective of providing appropriate incentives to encourage enhanced performance and of rewarding them fairly and responsibly for their individual contributions to the school’s success.

The appropriateness and relevance of the remuneration policy is reviewed annually, including reference to comparisons with other independent schools to ensure the school remains sensitive to the broader issues of pay and employment conditions elsewhere.

Delivery of the school’s charitable vision and purpose is primarily dependent on key management, and staff costs are the largest single element of charitable expenditure.

(LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the school that its financial affairs are maintained within a tight budget that is approved by the Governors. The nature of the school’s activities determines that the reserves fund, property and other net assets are held to cover unexpected shortfalls on the Statement of Financial Activities. In previous years Governors have considered that, in the event of a significant drop in short term funding, they will be able to continue the school’s activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. There is no reason to change this view – however, to ensure the ongoing sustainability of the school Governors have determined that an annual surplus is essential to build reserves for capital investment in the school. This is consistent with other independent schools - an annual target of 10% of income has been agreed, although it is recognised that this cannot be achieved immediately whilst still maintaining affordability of fees.

Funding sources and how expenditure meets objectives

School fees continue to represent the great majority of income, and the school has experienced an increase in pupils, including several from Overseas. Additional income is generated from grants and donations, and a small amount of rental income.

The school’s Grade 1 listed building and grounds has been re-established as a wedding venue in 2018, raising additional income to support the charitable objectives. All expenditure is directly related to the salaries of classroom and support staff, the delivery of the school curriculum, and the upkeep of the school's premises, fixtures, fittings and equipment.

The school continues to operate a means tested bursary scheme to assist parents with school fees. Additional discounts and bursaries are available to children from Service families, and sibling discounts are provided. The Governors have agreed a limit on the maximum bursary commitments permissible, as a proportion of total fee income. This bursary commitment is currently not fully drawn.

The Trust has wide investment powers, but any monies subject to the jurisdiction of the Charity Commission for England and Wales or the Secretary of State for Education or representing property so subject shall be invested only upon such investments and with such sanction (if any) as may for the time being be required by law.

Public Benefit

In setting the school’s objectives and planning activities the Governors have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

The school’s specialist role, with a consequent high proportion of Local Authority funded placements, sets it apart from the majority of the Independent sector. The means tested bursary scheme, and the guidance given to parents seeking funding underpin the school’s conviction that access to specialist education should be available to the broadest possible spectrum of pupils in terms of their social and economic background.

In addition, a number of the school's facilities are made available to the public, in particular Northiam primary school adjacent to the school, the local village cricket club, and local youth football teams.

THE FREWEN EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) GOVERNORS' REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS REPORT)

Public Benefit

We welcome back the Brickwall Music and Arts Society, a long established charity which stages regular music concerts in the school’s historic Drawing Room and hosted the annual village bonfire and firework display in October on behalf of Northiam Bonfire Society, a registered charity.

Asset cover for funds

The assets are sufficient to meet the charity's obligations.

Plans for the future

Cost controls continue to be developed to ensure a sound financial operating basis for the future, including adequate provision to secure the appropriate maintenance and future development of the premises.

As our pupil roll is growing and the year groups go through the school, we anticipate that by 2023 we will need to expand our teaching spaces and other facilities to accommodate a school of 180 pupils. The governors have appointed Ptolemy Dean Architects to conduct a feasibility study for the planned new build and expansion of our catering facilities.

Disclosure of information to auditors

Each of the directors has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditors are aware of such information.

Post Balance Sheet Event - Donation

In September 2022, the school receive a donation of £405,000 from a recently liquidated SEND charity for equipping the proposed Performing Arts Centre.

Auditors

A resolution proposing that TC Group be reappointed as auditors of the company will be put to the Annual General Meeting.

THE FREWEN EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) STATEMENT OF GOVERNORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The Governors, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the Governors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

Company law requires the Governors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

In preparing these financial statements the governors are required to:

The Governors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

10

THE FREWEN EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Frewen Educational Trust Limited (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cashflow 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

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 Auditor's 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 governor’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 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 governor’s with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

11

THE FREWEN EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Other information

The other information comprises the Governors’ Report, which includes the Directors’ Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The governors are responsible for the other information. 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained during the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report included within the Governors’ Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 require(s) us to report to you if, in our opinion:

12

THE FREWEN EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Responsibilities of the governors

As explained more fully in the governors’ responsibilities statement, the governors (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 governors 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 governors 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 governors either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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 based on these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud, are: to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses; and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and its management.

13

THE FREWEN EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

(LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

Our approach was as follows:

any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.

Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit

14

THE FREWEN EDUCATIONAL TRUST LIMITED (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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 auditor’s 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's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

After reviewing the charity's forecasts and projections to the end of the 2022/23 financial year, the governors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity will continue to require the support of its bankers throughout the next 12 months. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

2.3 Income

Fees receivable and charges for services, less any allowances, scholarships and bursaries granted by the school against those fees are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided. Where fees are received for a future service period they are included in deferred income, including those fees received under an advance fee payment scheme.

Investment and biomass RHI income is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Donations, legacies, grants and other voluntary income are accounted for as and when entitlement arises, the amount can be reliably measured and the economic benefit is considered probable.

Where a donor or an appeal has imposed restrictions the income is credited to a restricted fund.

The charity is not registered for VAT.

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis with irrecoverable VAT included with the item to which it relates.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

Redundancy and termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

All costs are allocated between expenditure categories and departments on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly.

2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:

Freehold land is not depreciated - Freehold buildings 1% -33% straight line less estimated £50,000 for cost of land - 25% reducing balance - Portable buildings 20% straight line - Fixtures, fittings and equipment 33% straight line Motor vehicles -

Minor items of capital expenditure up to £1,000 are written off to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.

2.6 Leasing and hire purchase commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the period of the

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the asset. Obligations under such agreements are included as creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance charge element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

2.7 Pensions

Teaching staff are members of the Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS), a defined benefit scheme administered by the Teachers' Pension Agency. Contributions to the scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they fall due. The TPS is an unfunded scheme. Contributions on a 'pay as you go' basis are credited to the exchequer under arrangements governed by the Superannuation Act 1972. Actuarial valuations are carried out on a notional set of investments. Under the definitions set out in FRS 102 the TPS is a multi-employer pension scheme. The charity is unable to identify its share of the underlying (notional) assets and liabilities of the scheme. Accordingly, under FRS 102 the scheme is accounted for as if it were a defined contribution scheme.

The charity also contributes to personal pension schemes for its non-teaching staff.

2.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost.

2.9 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount.

2.10 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments. The governors seek to use short medium term deposits where possible to maximise the return on monies held at the bank and to manage cash flo

2.11 Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past even will probably result in a transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation ca measured or estimated reliably.

2.12 Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds comprise those funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects a discretion of the governors.

Restricted funds are those funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes in accordance wit wishes of the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

2.13 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the Governors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

a. Critical judgements in applying the entity’s accounting policies

i) Multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme

Certain employees participate in a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme with other entities. In the judgment of the governors, the charity does not have sufficient information on the plan assets and liabilities to be able to reliably account for its share of the defined benefit obligation and plan assets. Therefore the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme, see note 19 for further details.

b. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 13 for the carrying amount of the property plant and equipment, and note 2.5 for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.

ii) Impairment of debtors

The charity makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience.

3 TURNOVER

The turnover of the charity is wholly attributable to the objects of the charity as stated in the Governors' Report and is earned entirely within the UK.

19 PENSION COMMITMENTS

The School participates in the Teachers' Pension Scheme ("the TPS") for its teaching staff. The pension charge for the year includes employer contributions payable to the TPS of £254,027 (2021: £221,529) and at the year-end £29,557 (2021: £27,160) was due in respect of contributions to this scheme.

The TPS is an unfunded multi-employer defined benefits pension scheme governed by The Teachers’ Pensions Regulations 2010 (as amended) and The Teachers’ Pension Scheme Regulations 2014 (as amended). Members contribute on a “pay as you go” basis with contributions from members and the employer being credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.

The employer contribution rate is set by the Secretary of State following scheme valuations undertaken by the Government Actuary’s Department. The most recent actuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2016 and the Valuation Report, which was published in March 2019, confirmed that the employer contribution rate for the TPS would increase from 16.4% to 23.6% from 1 September 2019. Employers are also required to pay a scheme administration levy of 0.08% giving a total employer contribution rate of 23.68%.

The 31 March 2016 Valuation Report was prepared in accordance with the benefits set out in the scheme regulations and under the approach specified in the Directions, as they applied at 5 March 2019. However, the assumptions were considered and set by the Department for Education prior to the ruling in the ‘McCloud/Sargeant case’. This case has required the courts to consider cases regarding the implementation of the 2015 reforms to Public Service Pensions including the Teachers’ Pensions.

On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the government permission to appeal the Court of Appeal’s judgment that transitional provisions introduced to the reformed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to unlawful age discrimination. The government is respecting the Court’s decision and has said it will engage fully with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member representatives to agree how the discriminations will be remedied. The government announced on 4 February 2021 that it intends to proceed with a deferred choice underpin under which members will be able to choose either legacy or reformed scheme benefits in respect of their service during the period between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2022 at the point they become payable.

The TPS is subject to a cost cap mechanism which was put in place to protect taxpayers against unforeseen changes in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 announced that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal’s ruling in the McCloud/Sargeant case and until there is certainty about the value of pensions to employees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020, and a consultation was launched on 24 June on proposed changes to the cost control mechanism following a review by the Government Actuary. The consultation closed to response on 19 August 2021 and the Government is currently analysing the responses.

In view of the above rulings and decisions the assumptions used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuation may become inappropriate. In this scenario, a valuation prepared in accordance with revised benefits and suitably revised assumptions would yield different results than those contained in the Actuarial Valuation.

Cont'd

Until the cost cap mechanism review is completed it is not possible to conclude on any financial impact or future changes to the contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly no provision for any additional past benefit pension costs is included in these financial statements.

The school also contributes to defined contribution schemes on behalf of its other staff. Employer contributions payable to these schemes were £46,191 (2021: £49,881) and at the year end £6,916 (2021: £7,109) was accrued in respect of contributions due to these schemes.
