REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE ANO ACHIEVEMENTS FOR THE YEAR
Op•rational P•rfomiance
The wlicy of the charitable company is to achieve a high standard of learning within a safe, happy, caring and
stimulaling environment. The sch)ol aims lo develop the particular apliludes of all pupils and help them lo fulfil
their wtenlial. The school has high levels of expectation and ensures that appropriate challeng8s are set across
a wide curriculum. Slaff appraise curriculum content and te￿Ing methods on a regular basi5 to ensure a
continued high quality of educalK)n. We were able to offer 15 subjects al GCSE from September 2022.
The average number of pupils in the s¢￿)01 during the year w&$ 6381590- 20211.
Achi•v•ments
Looking back, it is easy to f￿t that 2021-22 was sthll impacted by COVID restridions, especialty al the start of
the year and the cancellation of the Christmas Carol ServKe amongst many other causalities of the Autumn Tem.
A sense of'normalty. . visiting speakers. Sp￿￿ r￿tures. conc*ts. plays. Speech Days and resbjential trips- was
restored by the end of the year.
Through the year. work was put in pla(* lo ensure the $peur￿ areas of the school (Jun￿ School and Senior
School) had their own management structure where staff were gNen the head r￿M to focus on the different areas
of the school. This bore out in a split between Heads of Department in the Senior School and Curriculum Leads in
the Junior School. While drffering staffing is needed from a capacty point of view. work has been pul in place to
retain links across both areas of the schwl such as joint meelirvJs and department handbooks. With new staff
ross the school has come a foc#Js on upskilling in temis of leachirwJ and learning to indude concepts such as
Cognrtive Load Theory. Metacognition. Girls on Board. and Behaviour Management from 'behavioural tsar. Tom
Bennett.
In terms of planning. many of the old Schemes of Work were refreshed n Years 7 & 8 to move away from the
previous Common Entrance syllabus to align with Key Stage 3 c#)nlentwhich directly leads into Key Stage 4 IGCSE
level). As well as the more senior fcKused w￿k inside the dassroom, further opportunities to embed leaming
OLrtside of the school walls have been added. Year 7 had a trip to Winchester which combined Geography field
work. an RS workshop al the Cathedral, and a History tour. Year 8 went to Bletchley Park on a combined
Computing, Maths, an(J History trip. The cross<urricular links of eath of these trips wa5 benefiGial in terms of
furthering understanding and minimising missed Eessons ft)r multi￿e trips. Having Ihe first Year 9 year group
brought a more 'senior' feel to the school. As well as delivering the new Year 9 curriculum to them. there were
GCSE options to be made and these were successfully launched in September 2022. It's fair lo say we have
arrived as a Senior School.
A new phonics scheme, SourKls-Write. has been wttroduced In the Pr&Prep the aim of extendiThJ the scheme
Ihroughoul the Junior School. All of the Pre-P￿p staff have been trained in the delivery of the new scheme which
aims to improve the children's pfr￿)n￿ knowledge and understsrKling. The Earty Years have also introduced
subiti$ing as a new apwoach lo Maths.

STRATEGIC REVIEW
Futur• Devolopmonl- Project 16
In 2018. The governors. in conjunction wilh the Head. maje a strategic deasion to extend the school I￿OUgh to
16 years of age (year 11, GCSES) in resp)nse lo prnita demand and Ihe ILKal market for independent educatK)n
{Project 16- P16}. The sch)ol's vision is:
Cooducatlon and Dlverslty. The modem workplace is a huge￿ diverse environment. At Crosfields we
believe that there are positive benefits in educating children in an environment that promotes acceptance
and respect regardless of gender, ethn￿ty. nationality. culture and religious beliets. We are convlnced that
boys and girls posilively benefil. both ￿adem￿llY and socially. from being educaled together.
Academ1￿. Pupils ￿11 be stretched and supported academully. Abl will be grven the opportunity to excel.
whatever their abilty. We have been l￿redibtY successful. and have a strong track record in preparing
Ihem for a range of schwls. even the most academical￿ demanding. At Crosfields. all children will be
tawht imaginalNety, thtxoughly and txoadly.
Small Classes. Feedback from the parental survey confirmed that small classes we important. We fully
SUPFth this and will continue lo offer smal dasses.
Breadth. At Crosfields we encourage chli dren to experiment and to challenge themselves. The importance
of an effective CfrcurrM)Jlar w￿amMe al secondary levd cannot be underestimated. Not only is there
growing evidence that it has a positNe impact on academic progress. but also the soft skills
{communicalion, responsibility. flexibility and integrity) whth il promotes is recognised as being important
towards success al posl-secondary levd education and in the work place environm8nl. Co-curricular will
enrich a pupil, both during and after school lrfe. An effective pr￿amMe will provide the necessary balance
betsveen emotional, academic and social devdopmenl for a young adult.
Pastoral Caro and Wellbelng. Pasloral care has been a particular strength of Crosfields and we will
continue to emphasise the imwrtance of mental health across th8 school. We recognise the need lo
evolve, to reflect the needs of children with the additional challenges and pressures pres8nled by loday's
s[￿la1 media and public eXaminat￿)ns. Th8 Sc￿Y)1 is working towards a Wellbeing Award, a RSE Award
and a Rainbow Flag award lo ensure that we are al the forefront of current Ihinknng in these important
pastoral areas. The new hwse stnjcture induding the new pastLYal roles for staff is in full flow and has
allowed for ￿eater monitoring of pastoral issues across the sch￿[5.
Construction on the new senior school twjilding comwising 9 dassrooms. library, performance space, café, medical
facilities and administrative fvnctions was completed in November 2021 and has provided the Senior School with

approaches to future developments. The building has been Trcognbsed with a number of industy awards including
Best Soryal Infrastruclure Project of the Year at the British Construction Industry Awards 2022.
The foundation of CroSf￿￿$ Schwl was centred on The Whf(e Building which in Ils Ilme had provhded classrooms,

Ancillary projects have been undertaken to ensure that we have the fijll range of facilities to supwrt the GCSE
programme. For September 2022. we have converted the old pollery T￿rn into a 4th science lab,. the remodelling
of the Oaks building to create a new Art Studio. a CAD CAM destgn studio and a senior DT worl(shop. A Strength
& Conditioning Suite has been added to the mezzanine in the SFM)rts Hall to support GCSE PE programme and
personal fitness. The Junior School Library has been re1C￿ted lo a daSsr￿M alongside the Memorial Garden and
will be further developed in the next 18 months. The F(￿)d Technology R￿rn has moved to a light and airy space
upstairs in Chestnuts.
Numbers for our first P16 cohort - Year 7 in September 2019 - was particularly strong and remains a very
respectable 48 in Year 10. Pupil numbers in Year 9 were a concern bul a recruilmenl carnpa￿n airned at high

Senior School with strong retent￿n from the Junior School and new students joining Crosfields from other Prep
Sthools and local PriTnary Schools.
Staff recruitment into the seniry 5thwl ha5 been particulwty strong vthh appl￿1¥ enco￿aged by the ambitions
of the school and the opprytunty to shape its fvture. New $e￿Trdary speciaiists for Computing. DT. EcOnoM￿S

2022.
Ngw Structur•
September 2021 saw the schcKrf fomi Iwo enttlies under the umbrella of Crosfields - a Junior School {Nursery lo
Year 6} and a Senior School (Year 7- 11). The leadership in the school has been restructured into separate Senior
Leadership Teams for Junior Scho(A and Senior Schod. New intemal appointments were made for the Deputy
Head Academic and Deputy Head Pastoral of the Junior School. The Head, Bursar, Second Master, Director of
Studies and Director of Exlemal Relations sil on ￿th teams.
Heads of Department rthv oversee all acadeffl￿ subject areas in the senN)r school arKS Curriculum Leads provide
the same role in Ihe Junior School. Heads of Houses in the Junior ￿(￿)1 and in the Sen￿r School provide the
basis of the pastoral network.
The Support Team organisation was dso reviewed and new posts created in Operabonal Support, Finance, HR,
Estates, Medical, Mthting and External Relations has provKled the capacity necessary lo support the growing
school.
Future DeveFopmwts
With the change of Head in April 2023, ts pri￿lty has been to fAXtsolidate ongoing strands ofwork to ensure that
the school is in the best possi1￿e shape.
The governors aspire to establish a Development Office to and develop donor $uPF￿ in respect of bursary

Serfous Inddents
A serious Incident had been previously remed to the Charity Commission in relation to a hIst￿Ical safeguarding
issue. In December 2021. a fomier Headmaster was found wilty of 3 charges of indecent assault relating lo a
pupil al Crosfields in the early 1990s. He has been Sente￿ed lo 11 years in pr￿on for these offences alongside 2
other offences at anolher school. As Tnjslees. we are shc¢ked that someone in a position of trust and responsibility
shcMJld have behaved in such an appalling way. However. he has been brought lo justice thanks lo the courag8 of
those who were prepared to speak out about what he had done, and we hope this helps them achieve some degree
of dosure as a result.
In the course of the summer, we were apwoached by 2 ex-pupils. One pupil all8g8d abuse by a former teacher at
Crosfields in the 1970s and earty 1980s and the other wtnessed the abuse of another pupil. We have referred the
cases lo the L￿81 Auth￿Ity'S Designated and nolrfied the Charity Commission. 11 is our understanding that
early enquiries we being corKlucled by Thames Valley Police but at lea51 one abuser is believed lo be deceased.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The financial year Saw a def￿11 of £159k12021 - surplus £800kl. This was anticipated given the development
stag8 of Project 16 arml the physical establishfflent of the SenK)r SC￿01. Income from all activities was £9.537k
12021- £8.379k) writh expenditure totalling £9.696k (2021-£7.579kl. Total I￿orne showed 15% growth from 2020-
21 reflecting the additional Year 9 bul was below the planned budget as a result of income from extras (including
optional t(NJrs) and income froTll Enterprises laknng time to recover post Covid. Expenditure wa5 £411 k below
LMJdgel. The level of der￿t a beller outcome than expected a5 a result of higher pupil numbers. liming of
expenditure and capitalisation of some IT expendibjre.
Aside from the normal levels of expenditure, the Sch(￿1 has ulilised the Development Loan facility offered by Lloyds
Bank to help fund the developmenl of the senK)r sch￿1 trMJildiNJ and enabling works. The fit out of Ihe building and
ancillary projects were self-funded (complet￿n of Old P￿1 refurbishment, Science Labs, Art Studio. DT Worksfv)p
and Design Studio. Strength & CorKlilioning Suite. Fo(MJ T￿h). Even though Ihe new building work was finished
in Autumn 2021, cash flow remained positive and it was not necessary lo draw down funds at th8 expected
rale. The final draw down was made in December 2022 bringing Ihe total borrowings to £8,500k. Normal
operational CAPEX was £125,783 (2021
£97,￿]21 arKI relates lo IT replacements and enhar￿ernen1s',
refurbishment of junior charyJing rooms,. foul drain•3e repairs arKI fire alarm upgrades.
The number of children in the $thool increased in th8 finar￿[al year to ￿ average of 638 (2021- 590). The total
number of pupils enrolled at the start of the current year was 702.
The school has a wholly owned trading subsidiary, crosr￿d$ Enterprises Ltd, through which non<harilable
activities are urKlertaken. The surplus generated Irom the trading ￿MpanY is gift aided back to the school.
Enterprises has had a successful year building upon its we£ovid levd of hrings Y￿1h facilities open throughout
the year. The value of the aid donation 2021-22 is £99k1£15k- 20211.
Reserv￿ Policy
The policy of the govemors. through effective budgetary eontrol, is lo seek to generate an annual surplus of income
over expenditure that enables the school to continue a programme of refurbishment and development whilst
servicing ils loans and securing its long-lemi ￿abIlty. The SC1K￿ ts currently in a period of drawing down ils
reserves and is unlikety to see substantial surplus for the next 2 years.
The finances. tMJdgets aThJ spend are rewlarly reviesved al the Finance. Building and Estates. P16 Programme
Board and Board of Govemors meetings. The sdthl's unrestricted funds al the end of the year were £8,497k
12021 - £8,645k). Total reserves amount to £16.688k12021 £15,802kl all of which is lied up in fixed as5els.
The govemors are of the opinion that the school is able lo operate efficiently with the day to day working capilal
being met by careful management of school fees and other sources of incx)me received and bank overdraft where

n￿esSary. The schryj does not have any curTent free reserves as it is investing in the development of the P16
programme.
Risk Managemfjnt
The Board of Govemor$ oJrKlucts regular reviews of major risks to the school and its actwitsgs, focusing on those
risks which may affect the charttable company's vialy'lty and repulalH)n. Political instability is a major concern and
the prospect of a Labour Govemment a signifrant threat should il see through on its intentions lo remove charitable
benefrts from independent sehocds. The Board is keeping abreast of developments through the Associations and
is ensuring that its longer tem strategi¢ and financial ￿an￿1￿j indudes scenarios such a$ the loss of mandatory
business rate relief and the imposition of VAT on school fees.
Pupil recruitment i% crilul to the economic success of the schclol. The growth in overall pupil numbvs is in line
th our financial model but the realit￿5 of the current eCknnom￿ crisis is a corKem fcf many families. We have
already seen a few families withdraw as they are no longer able to afford fee$ alongside rising inleresl rates and
real wage pressures. 11 is a reasonable expectation that we ￿11 see further falls across all year wups in the next
12- 18 months. Recruitmentwill therefore be even more challenging and the compelttNe landscape in the Reading
and Wokingham area is changing loo. We are responding accA)rdingly with (Mjr marketing activsty centring on our
new websrte. social media presence and advertising campaigns in prominent locations.
W8 are nol immun8 to econom￿ pressures oUrse￿e$ aThJ the unprecedented rise in energy. fc•)d and travel costs
in particular has had a detrimental impact upon our finarKial plans ￿ the current year and beyond. We are doi
what we can lo ensure pricing is compelthve and that expenditure is kept under control. We recognise that this
may have consequences for fee increases in the next academic year a￿1 these will need lo be carefully judged.
The fvlure risk of substantial I[￿reaseS in emFdoyer contributions to teachers. pensions has been on the Board's
agenda for the past 3 years. The Board opened a staff consultslk)n in October 2021 to look at the viability of
continued membership versus an allernatNe provision and reached an agreement teachers to withdraw from
membership of Teachers Pension Scheme on 31 August 2023.
Funding of P16 infrastructure has been a combinati(m of bank lending and self-funded capital investment. Phase
1 which includes the new senior school building, enabling works and demolition of the ￿lIe Building has been
mpleted except for works to the main entrarKe and ￿mIth entrance under s278 of the Highways Act. The future
requirement for leaching and welfare spa(*s. as the Senior SchorA continues to ￿. is being assessed.
Golng Concem
The Finance Commlttee on behaw of the Board reviaw the school's ongoing foreGasls and projections on a temi
basts lo ensure that it remains financially VIa￿e. With regard lo the next accounting perbd. the year ending 31
August 2023. a deficit is expecled. The scale of extemal e￿n0M[C wessures is evident. most no18bly the rise in
energy costs and interest rates. and these have put strain on the financial plan for the year. As a result, il has bee
revisited and budget cuts have been tsken aThJ some prices {hirings and co-curricular actNities) have been
increased as a counter measure. Additional prudent expenditure controls have been wt in place to curb non-
essential spending. Earnings before Interest. Taxation. Deweciation and AmtxtlsatK)n IEBITDA) Is forerast lo be
around zero al year end.
Crosfields uses a financial modelling tool lo conshler 3 drflerent scenari05 using drivers and assumptions on an
optimistic- realistic- pessimistic scale. On this basis, the cash-flow projections for future years indicate that the
Scho￿ wll be ablg to m8et ils liabilities as Ilw fall due from wthin c#mnt banking f￿lIrtIes.
Govem¢Ks review the onwing risks on a termty basis- see Risk Management. Costs increasing beyond the conlrol
of the school are the primary concern and itwould be naive to suggest that the impact of these and resulting budget
cuts will go unnoticed. Governors and the Senior Leadership Team are working collaboratively lo ensure there is
no signrficant delrimenl to educatK)n. pastoral or SUpp￿t as a result. The School is maintaining a dose relationship
with our banking prov￿￿. Lloyds Bank. lo ensurè thal there is rrnimon understanding regwding the financial
P0511ion of the busine5S.

Report of the Independent Audltor tothe Govern￿ of Crosfields School Trust Umlted l(ontinuedJ
Audltorfs r8sponslbllltl88 for th• audlt of th• flnanclal sLthmants
Our objectives are to obtain reasonat4e assurance about whelher the fina￿1a1 statements as a whole are free from
material misstalemenl. whether due to fraud or ernK. and to issue an audttorfs fekmxt that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assufance. bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAS {UKI will always detect a material misstslement when r( exists. Mk8Statements can arise from fraud or
error and are cons¢dered material rf, indNidually or in the agyegale. they could reasonably be expected lo influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statefflenls.
IrTegularilies. including fraud, are instances of non-compliance wilh laws and regulations. Vve d8sign procedures
in line with our re5ponsibililies. ou￿1￿ed above, to del￿1 malerial misststements in respect of irregularities, including
fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting Irre￿laritIes, including fraud i8 detai￿ below..
Based on our understanding of the ch¥itable CoMp￿Y and industy. identffi￿d that the principal risks of non-
compliance with laws and regulations, company law and charity law ap￿1¢able in EnglaThJ and Wales, and we
considered the extent to which n0n-compllqn￿ might have a material effect on the fInar￿la1 statements. We also
considered those laws and regulattons thal have a direct impact on the preparalh)n of the financial slalemenls such
as the Companies Act 2006 and Charitss A¢t 2011.
We evaluated management's incentrves arNI opportunities for fr•Jdulenl manipulation of tt)e financial statements
linduding the risk of override of controls) a￿1 delemiined that the prI￿paI risks were related to management bias
in ￿coUntIng estimates. Audit ￿￿edureS performed by the engagement team included..
Inspection of correspondence with rewlalors and lax aulhorilies.,
DisCuss￿S with management including (￿nsiderat￿n of known or susp8cled instances of noncompliance
th laws and regulation and fraud;
Evaluating management's contrds designed to prevent and delect ¥re￿laritIeS,.
IdentifyirwJ and testing joumals: and
Challenging assumptions and judgements by management In their critical accounting eslimales.
Because of the inhvent limitations of an audiL there 15 a risk that we wll not detscl atl irregularities, in¢luding those
leading lo a material misstatement in the finanual statements or non-￿MPliance with regulation. This risk increases
the more that compliance wlh a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the
financial slatemenls. as we will be less likdy to become aware of instsnces of non-compliance. The risk is also
greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rathw than error. as fraud involves intentional concealment.

Monetary amounts in these attounts are rounded to the nearest £ except véhere 0th8rwtse induted.
Golng concern
The group has net ujrrent liablities of £1.579.913 {2021-. £1.858,891) at the Statement of Financial Position
dale. The year ended 31 Auwsl 2022 gave rise to a net reduction in ftjnds of £{158,8151. The deficit was
anticipated given the development 5tsge of Project 16 and the physical establishment of the Senior School.
In considering whether the 9)iro o)ncem basis is apwowiate. the wvemors have considered the surplus
and cash-flow projections prepared for future years. These ind￿ale that the charitable company will be able
lo meet its liabilities as they fall due and together with arrangements with their bankers fwecast that the
charitable company will be able to operate within the f8ciliiies Current￿ available.
The govemcffs have no reason to belwe Ihat the t)Jrrenl facilfties will not be continued 8nd confirm that they

assessment, the gOVerr￿ confiThn that they have conshdered a lo 31 August 2024.
With regard lo Ihe current accountwig period, the yew ending 31 August 2023, a deficit is expected. The scale
of external economic pre55ures is evident. most nolably the rise in energy costs and inleresl rates. and these
have put strain on the financial plan for the year. As a resull, r( has t￿n revisiled and budget cuts have been
taken and some pr￿$ (hirings and co-curricular activities} have been increased as a counter measure.
Additional prudent expenditure controls have been pul in place to curb r￿n-esSentIal spending.
In support of the going conc*m assessment. the governors have considered a range of different scenarios
which conslder the key variables such as pupil numbers. salary costs. energy costs. other impacts of inflation
and interest rates. In doing so. the governors are sa11sf￿ that the forecasts provide them with a reasonable
b8SiS to conclude that the charitable o)mpany ￿11 remain a going corKem for th8 f￿eSeeab1e future and lo
at least 31 August 2024.
Whilst the forecasts indicate that the charitable company sMII be able lo operate within the lending facilities
curTenlty available to it. the forecasts currently indKate a wlential breach of lending covenants at the first
review al 31 December 2024. This arises undef some (but not all) of the scenarK)s modelled. This is beyond
the period of the wng concem assessment made. and 5tep5 are being taken lo minimise tha risk of this
cccurring induding those sel out above. Furthermore. man8gemenl and ￿VernorS confirm that th&y are
maintaining a close relatK)nship with the charitable company's bankers in relation to the forecast posilk>n. On
this basis the 9)vernors confwm tw are SatiSf￿d no material uncertainty arises.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (conllnued)
For Ihe year ended 31 August 2021
20 Ponsions (continued)
The TPS is subject lo a cosl cap mechanism wh￿h was put in plxe to prolect taxpayers against
unforeseen changes in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 an￿unCed 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 rulirwJ in the McCloudlSarg8anl case and until there is certainty
about the value of pens￿nS to employees from April 2015 ork%￿ards. The pause was lrfted in July 2020. and
a consultation was launched on 24 June on wop)sed changes to the cost conlrd mechanism following a
review by the Govemmenl Actuary. The consultat￿ closed to response on 19 August 2021 and the
Govemmenl is currently analysing the responses.
In view of the above rulings and decisions the assumpkn'ons used in the 31 March 2016 Acbjarial Valuation
may become inappropriate. In this scenario, a valuation prepared in accordance with revised benefits and
sulta￿Y revised assumptions woukl yield different results than those Conta￿￿1 in the Actuarial Valuation.
Unb'l the cost cap meehanism review is eompleled it is not t)ossible to condude on any financial impact or
future changes to the contritsjlion rates of the TPS. Accordingty no provision for any additional past benefit
pension costs is inchjded in these financial statements.
