St Swithun's School (Winchester) (a company limited by guarantee) REPORT OF THE COUNCIL, INCORPORATING THE STRATEGIC REPORT For the year ended 31 July 2024 All taxable profits from the Letting Company are transferred to the school by gift aid to further support our charitable aims. Going Concern The Council has considered several factors when forming their conclusion as to the use of the going concern basis for the preparation of these financial Statements including a review of the updated forecasts to 31 July 2026 and a consideration of the key risks. The Council had evaluated scenarios both assuming no change to the current position around VAT in independent schools and the now confirmed scenario of its introduction and the schools likely response to this. However, at the time of writing this cannot be fully modelled until the confirmed technical details and timings are released following the annual budget on 30th October 2024. During this period of significant potential change to the Independent School landscape the Council has taken a prudent approach to expenditure including re-negotiating the schools energy contract delivering a large and sustained benefit over the next 3 years whilst continuing to maintain the focus on the education of the girls now and the expectations of pupils and parents in the future. The forecast surpluses for 2024-25 and 2025-26 reflect expected chan8es in school taxation. Sustaining a strong pupil population continues to be a key risk especially durin8 this period of uncertainty, which the council has considered in its approach around the implementation of VAT and fee levels and will be assessed further when details are confirmed. The school has made a stron8 start to the school year with 717 pupils in line with expettations and fee income for the first term of the 24/25 school year remains strong with an indication that payment of fees will be consistent with previous years. Council reviews the School's financial plans on a termly basis by monitoring income and expenditure against forecasts within the context of the annual budget and a rolling io-year financial plan. Cash flows are also closely reviÈwed. particularly in the light of the School's borrowing commitments and repayment requirements. Financial sensitivity analysis is incorporated into Council information, centred on key assumptions (roll, fees, and staff costs}. Council reviews all known major risks to the school and states the action being taken to alleviate them on a rolling annual basis. The key risks to which the school is subject are highlighted in the strategic report. The School's strategic development plan remains dynamic and will be further reviewed once the Status of VAT in independent schools is Confirmed and impact of the technical details is known. Whilst this will inevitably require a response it is not anticipated that this will chan8e the underpinning aims, vision or ethos of the school. Having regard to all the above, the Governors have a reasonable expertation that the School has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there are no material uncertainties over the school's financial viability- Accordingly. they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Statement of Members Responsibilities on pa8e 25.

St Swithun's School (Winchester) (a company limited by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ST SWITHUN'S SCHOOL (WINCHESTER) Independent Audrtorfs Reportto the Members of St Swithun's Sthool (Winchester) (continued) Extent to which the audit was considered capable of deterting irregularities, induding fraud (continued) Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliano with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence. if any. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financi31 statements from irregularities. including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of donations income and other income, and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Standing Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals. reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission. Independent Schools Inspettorate, Ofsted and reading minute5 of meetings of those charged with governance. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have deterted 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 lirregularitiesl 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. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be experted to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. Use of our report Thi5 report 15 made solely to the charitable companvs 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 companvs members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorfs 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 and the charitable companvs members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

St Swithun's School (Winchester) (a company limited by guarantee) ACCOUNTING POLICIES forthe year ended 31 July 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES PUBLIC BENEFIT ENTITY The School is a public benefit entity registered as a charity in England and Wales and a company limited by guarantee. It Was incorporated on 08 July 1910 l¢ompany number 00110692) and registered as a charity with the Charities Commission charity number 307335. The financial statements have been prepared in accordan￿ with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS1021. the Companies Att 2006 and the 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 {FRS1021 effective l January 2015. The funttional currency of the School is considered to be GBP because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the school operates. The accounts are drawn up on the historic cost basis of accountin& as modified by the revaluation of investments and pension liabilities. GOING CONCERN The Council has considered several factors when forming their conclusion as to the use of the going concern basis for the preparation of these financi31 statements including a review of the updated forecasts to 31 July 2026 and a consideration of the key risks. The Councils evaluation was based on scenarios both with the status quo position with regard independent school taxation and also the now potentially more likely scenarios considering the likely impact of the removal of VAT exemption for Independent schools and the schools likely response but of which the confirmation of and full technical details to confirm the modelling are not expected until the annual budget on 30 October 2024. During thls perfod of significant potential change to the Independent School landscape the Council has taken a prudent approach to expenditure including re-negotiating the schools enerbry contract delivering a large and sustained benefit over the next 3 years whilst continuing to maintain the focus on the education of the girls now and the expectations of pupils and parents in the future. The forecast surpluses for 2024-25 and 2025-26 reflect expected changes in school taxation. Sustaining a strong pupil population continues to be a key risk especially during this period of uncertainty, which the council has considered in its approach around the implementation of VAT and fee levels and will be assessed further when detai15 are confirmed and on an ongoing basis. The school has made a strong starttothe school yearwith 717 pupils in line with expectations and fee income for the first term of the 24125 school year remains strong with an indication that payment of fees will be consistent with previous years. Council reviews the School's financial plans on a termly basis by monitoring income and expenditure against forecasts within the context of the annual budget and a rolling 10-year financial plan. Cash flows are also closely reviewed. particularly in the light of the School's borrowing commitments and repayment requirements. Financial sensitivity analysis 15 incorporated into Council information, centred on key assumptions (roll, fees, and staff costs). Council reviews all known major risks to the school and states the action being taken to alleviate them on a rolling annual basi5. The key risks to which the school is subject are highlighted in the strategic report. The school's strategic development plan remains dynamic and will be further reviewed once the status of VAT in independent schools is confirmed and impatt of the technical details is known. Whilst this will inevitably require a response it is not anticipated that this will change the underpinnin8 aims, vision or ethos of the school. 33 Company Number (MJ110692 Charity Number 307335

St Swithun's School (Winchester) (a company limited by guarantee) ACCOUNTING POLICIES forthe year ended 31 July 2024 GOING CONCERN (Continued) Having regard to all the above, the Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continu e its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there are no material uncertainties over the school's financial viability. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Statement of Members Responsibilities on page 25. GROUP ACCOUNTS These financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its whollY￿WnÈd subsidiary St 5withun's School Letting Company Limited Icompany number 019314721 on a line by line basis. No separate SOFA has been presented for the Charity lone, as permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The charity has taken advantage of the exemption available to a qualifying entity in FRS102 from the requirement to present a charity only Cash Flow Statement with the consolidated financial statements. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the accounting policles, Trustees are required to make judgement. estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Attual 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future periods. The key estimates and judgements which impact the financial statements are; Assumptions adopted by management and use by the actuary to calculate the pension liability. and assessments of remaining useful life and impairments of assets, and assessment of the bad debt provision. In the view of the trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying value in the next financial year. The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items whlch are considered material in relation of the School's financial statements. FEES RECEIVABLE AND SIMILAR INCOME Fees receivable and charges for services and use of the premises, less any scholarships. bursaries or other discounts 8ranted by the school against those fees, but including contributions received from restricted funds, are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided. DONATIONS AND GRANTS Donations and other voluntary incoming resources received which are subject to specific wishes of the donors are carried to relevant restricted funds. as and when entitlement arises, they can be reliably quantified and benefit 15 probable. 34 Company Number 00110692 Charity Nurnber307335

St Swithun's School (Winchester) (a company limited by guarantee) ACCOUNTING POLICIES for the year ended 31 July 2024 EXPENDITURE Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable. discounted to present value for longer-term liabilities. Expenditure is allocated to expense headings either on a direct cost basis. or apportioned on a consistent basis. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expense to which it relates. Governance costs comprise the costs of running the charity, induding strategic planningfor its future development, also external audit. any legal advice for the Council and all costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements. FIXED Assrrs Fixed assets are included in these financial statements at their original cost less depreciation. All items costing in excess of £1,000 are capitalised and depreciated according to the policy below. This is an uplift from the previous policy of £500, although key individual items which fall under the higher cost may still be capitalised. All fixed assets are used in direct furtherance of the school's objectives. DEPRECIATION Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets with the exception of land at rates calculated to write off the costs l ess estimated residual value on each asset, by equal annual instalments, over their expected useful lives which are considered to be.. Freehold land Freehold buildings Furniture and fittings Equipment Assets in the course of construction 50 years 5 years 4 years PENSIONS Retirement benefits to employees of the school are provided through three pension schemes, two defined benefit and one defined contribution. The pension costs charged in the Statement of Financial Activities are determined as follows: Teachers are all enrolled in the Teachers, Pension Scheme. which is a multi*mployer pension scheme. It is not possible to identify the school's share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the Teachers, Pension Scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis and therefore, as required by FRS102, accounts for the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. The school's contributions, which are in accordance with the recommendations of the GovernmentActuary, are Charged in the period in which the salaries to which they relate are payable. Non-teaching members of staff appointed before 31 December 2000 were offered membership of a defined benefit scherne. The assets of this scheme are held separately from those of the school, being invested with insurance companies. The pension costs for that scheme represent the contribution due by the school based on the charges calculated by the Scheme's actuaries, so as to ensure that the regular pension costs represent a substantially level percentage of the current and expected future pensionable payroll. The scheme closed to future accrual on 31 March 2007. Remaining staff are now deferred members of the scheme and full members of the defined contribution scheme. The defined benefits scheme is being accounted for under FRS102, wtth any annually calculated notional deficit on thefunding of the scheme shown in the accounts as a pension rese￿e. which is deducted from Unrestricted Funds in the balance sheet. Any notional surplus is not recognised. but carried at £nil value. The Council believes that the scheme currently meets statutory funding requirements. The Council note that the calculated notional surplus or deficit calculated under FRS102 can vary greatly from year to year depending on the assumptions made at the year end. Full details are contained in note 18. The defined contribution scheme is a group personal pension plan with Legal & General. Employerfs pensions costs are charged in the period in which the salaries to which they relate are payable. 35 Company Number ￿110692 Chartty Number 307335

Cash at bank and in hand is defined as all cash held in instant access bank accounts and used as working capital. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise all creditors except social security and other taxes and provisions. Assets and liabilities held in foreign currency are translated to GBP at the balance sheet date at an appropriate year*nd exchange rate.

The employer contribution rate forthe TPS is 28.6%, and employers are also required to pay a scheme administratlon le of 0.08% giving a total employer contribution rate of 28.68%.

It is a separate trustee administered entity holding assets to meet the long term pension liabilities. The last formal actuarial valuation of the Scheme was carried out as at 31 December 2020 and updated to 31July 3024 by 3 qualified actuary, independent of the scheme's sponsoring employer. The major assumptions used by the actuary are shown below. This more recent finalised actuarial valuation. which was produced as at 01 January 2021, showed that the scheme's assets equalled the scheme's technical provisions resulting in a funding level of 100%. In addition and in accordance with this actuarial valuation, the employer has agreed with the trustees that it will meet expenses of the scheme and levies to the Pension Protection Fund. As there was no shortfall at the valuation date, no contributions are payable in respect of the technical provisions Since August 2016 a designated fund has been established by the school to meet future contributions as required. As at 31 July 2024 the balance stands at£422,000. The FRS102 calculation by the actuary calculates a scheme deficit of £278K 12023: surplus of £92KI. In accordance with paragraph 28.22 of FRS102 the net pension asset as at 31 July 2023 was restricted to the value of the scheme's future pension cost less future employee contributions. The net pension a55et therefore became £nil. For 31 July 2024 the FRS102 scheme deficit calculation has been reflected in the SOFA.
