FOREWORD
Annual Report of The Trustees of Klngswood school
Foreword by the Headmaster of Kin85wood School & Principal of Kingswood Foundation
In my first foreword as the incoming Headmaster and Principal of Kingswood School. I wrote that the academic year 19120
would be remembered as one of most disruptive years in Kingswood's fine history. Given the second Covid lockdown that
endured in the spring of 21, 1 am minded to repeat this phrase, however we saw some Ereen shoots of norrnal life in the
summer with a welcorne return of pupils and some heart-warmlng co-curri¢ular activities. Throughout my first 15 months of
tenure, I have been and remain immensely proud of the pupils, staff and parents who have met every challenge with the typical
'can do. spirit of Kingswood. This foreword seeks to highlight some of great things at this school.
Once more the uncertainty surrounding A-Level and GCSE examination5 was unsettling. Once clarity was established, tsur
teachers were able to gulde pupils in a fair and robust internal assessment process towards Teather Assessed Grade5, based on
evidence that our pupils produced. This yearfs cohort of students have coped admirably well with challenging circumstances
and demonstrated excellent knowledge and understanding. Our Brade5 were universally upheld by examination boards
following moderation, which is in no small part due to the professional and thorough approach of our teachers, expertly guided
by the Deputy Head Acadernic. For the record, the school achieved a fabulous Set of A-Level result5 With 85% achieving A* to
B. Despite media conjecture, over 90% 01 Year 13 athieved their first choice post 6, Forrn pathway, with 68% moving to a
Russell Group university, including 7 pupils to medical 5choo15. At GCSE, 77% of grades were leve5 7 to 9.
In 19120, the Black Lives Matters movement reminded the Foundation of the importance of our commitment to an anti-racist
education where we stand up against all forms of discrimination. We were further challenged. following the Everyone's Invited
movement. about our responslbility to teach and model equality, diversity and Incluslon as well as to tackle injustice and
discrimination. We seek to do this in many ways,. for example vSa our PSHCE programme, tutor group discussions, 3ssemblie5,
guest speakers and chapel services, A key purpose of our P5HCE prograrrme is to educate and encourage pupils to respect
others. and themselves. with Relationship and Sex Education IRSEI being an important part tsf this curriculum. Our School
policie5 and practice5 are aimed at ensuring Kingswood is a safe environment where all children can learn and develop. and we
are committed to an open and constructive partnership with parents and guardians To this end. l am delighted that we have
established a new post of Diversity and Inclusion Lead, and after a gap of 18 months we welcome our new Chaplain Rev Katy
Thomas.

FOREWORD
The final letter written by John Wesley to William Wilberforce roots Us In a long Methodist tradition of inclusiveness and
equality which we are deterrnined to honour. Another theme that continues to gain traction is the School's approach to
SU5tainability,' the joint pupil-staff committee has worked hard to raise awareness. In 2020, the Board of Governor5 committed
to a Climate Emergenty declaration and steps are being taken to measure our carbon lootprint and to set KPIS.
In the latter part of the School year, we enjoyed moments of freedom with some impressive cricket, swimrning and athletics
performances. Outdoor theatre took on a new profile and somehow, we engineered a fantastic hybrid Iha1f in person, half on
Teams) Prize-Givin8 Day to mark another academic year.
Partnership work with local schools and the array of joint teaching and learnlng Initiatives naturally took a back stage, but plans
are already afoot to rekindle this important area of outreach. Charitable work did continue throughout the year, although a
return to normal levels of fundraisin8 (almost £30k in 191201 will have to wait until 2V22. After much reflection, the Board
agreed to end our partnership activity in China due to a perceived mlsmatch in aspirations in the current political climate. We
do continue to examine oversea5 Opportunities and we believe that a stronser link to international Methodlst schools would be
of value.
Our Founder's mantra continues to chlme strongly, despite a second year of disruption-'Do all the good you can by all the
rnean5 YOU tan in all the places you can at all the times you can to all the people you can as long as ever you Can,, has never
been more apt.

Achlevements and Performance
The highlights of the School year appear in the Principal'5 foreword to this report.
Once aeain the academic year has beÈn disrupted by 3 second Coronavirus lockdown (lan 211 which forced the School to rnove to
remote teaching. Earller investment in digital tethnoloÉies ensured that Kingswood was able to deliver the normal curriculum,
but perhaps unsurprisingly, the broad co-curricular offer wa5 reduced; consequently an offset to fees was granted by the Board.
Similar to the exam grades in 5urnmer 2D, the academic staff assessed and awarded'centre assessed grades, forthe leavingcohort
and additionally the GCSE Year 11 students. Pastoral care continued to be delivered innovatively online, and as the summer
arrived more school activities (such as drama and cricket) were made available.
Whi15t academic succes5 Is Irnportant, the Kingswood ethos also focuses on nurturing the talents of its student5. The Governors
are delighted that Kingswood continues to produce significant succe55 in boy5, alld girls, sports, drama, music, outdoor education
Ilncluding Ten Tors, the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme) and the many other extra-curricular activities on offer
Kin8swood 15 a boarding and day school which provides education to gir15 and boys èÈed from 9 months to 18 years. The Garden
nursery is on track to comprise up 10 90 children. whilst in the last year the average number of children in the Prep School was
334 and 799 In the Senior School. Entry to the Senior Schoolls predominantly in Year 7, with a smaller intake at Year 9 and into
the Lower 6, Form. Approximately one quarter of senior students board and the majority of day pupils live within 45 minutes of
the School.
The Governors and the Senior Management Team continLteto balance fee affordabllity with the provision of high quality education
set against a backdrtrp of developing and maintaining existing infrastructure. In 2018. the Governors commissioned a number of
surveys to deepen the School's understanding of its parent base and it continues to receive benchrnark information from
organisatlons such as the1SC, HMC, ISBA and Baines Cutler. The aim is to attract children from a diversity of backgrounds and to
prepare students with the tools they need to succeed in the increasingly changing and complex world beyond school.
In the last three year5, extensive investment has been made at the Prep School with modern, state-of-the-art facilitie5 and a
purpose-bullt nursery. Unplanned building repairs and a major refurbishment ol the Pegasu5 classrooms and the conversion of
High Vinnalls to a Pr&School extension have continued to soak up costs and a consequent delay to the next phase of the Estates
Capital Master Plan (girls, boarding and the Dixon Centre I has been confirmed. In autumn 19. the Governors commissioned a
condition survey that has now reported,. the backlog maintenance items are now scoped in to 3 tranche5, Wlth the first tranche of
repair5 to commence in late 21.

during the year12020.' £622,5521.
As an educational charity. the School has a tax exemption on its educational activities and it5 investment income.
Investment policy. The long term oblective of the investment policy has been to at least malntaSn the value of the
erTrdowment funds Iless the substantial withdrawal in June 20181 in real terms li.e. to match inflation as measured by the
Retail Price Index, the increase in salarie5, and other ielevant inditatorsl and to take all further gains as income.

the Methodist Church. which Teports annualSy to the Methodist Independent Schoo15 Trust that it has reviewed it5 policie5
and is making the best investment on behalf of all Methodist Schools. The investment portfolio follows ethical principles

Resefves pollry. The Foundation's reserves pollcy Is to malntain sufficlent unrestricted income reserves to enable it to
meet its shorl-term financia5 obligations in the event of an unexpected revenue shortfall. Like many schools, the School
ends the year with a net current liabilities figure. At year end the School ha5 access to an available overdraft facility of
£lm. The Eovernors are Satisfied that the School has sufficient financing available to meet its working capital and
investment requirements. The Financial Statements show the assets and liabilities attributable to the various funds by
type and sumrnari5es the year's movements in each fund. In cornmon with most schools. the Charity operates with
negarlve 'free reserve5', but the Governors are satisfied that external finance would provide an additional '5alety net, if
it should be required. The Governors are satlsfied that the current level of reserves are in line with policy, but wish to
emphasise that a contingency or reserve fund is somethlng belng actlvely consldered in the Forward Plan.
Strateglt Rlsk Management
The Board of Governors is responsible for putting in place strategies to mltigate major rlsks to the Foundation. The 8oard formally
reviews the Risk Register annu311y and governors are represented on the termly meeting5 of the Risk ManagemeNt Committee,
chaired by the Bursar (Director of Finance 3nd Operations). This Committee identifies, assesses and conS￿derS mitigation and
control mechanisms. The significant risks, as identified by the committee and endorsed by the Board comprise..
Safeguardlng. Ensuring that appropriate identification, control and reporting mechanisms are in place to ensure that
children are kept safe. The reputational dam38e of a failure in safeguarding would severely impact the Foundation; for
this reason it is the highest placed risk. The Schools Designated 53fèEuarding structure was reviewed and bolstered in
Sep 20. KPS has also reviewed and amended its structure with a new DSL appointed in Sep 21.
Colonavlr.us.￿1lthQUt￿￿eItio
has continued to am
a number of the standin
risks to the
Foundation. Extraordinary committee meetings of Governors were held throu8hout the autumn and spring period of 2(
21 to assess and to mitigate these iisk areas. In particular. the financial and reputational risks were examined closely
with a seriès of rneasures agreed and implemented.
Financlal. Retaining pupil numbers Iboarders and day studentsl to ensure that a predictable and stable financial plan can
be constructed. A significant drop in pupils would severely Impact the financlal health of the Foundatlon. In addltion,
potential threats to income and expenditure in the independent sector are modelled by the Strategic Planning
Committee. Fee affordability in lieht of Brexit and the Coronavirus is also a prime concern, with a number of recent
Surveys conducted to deepen the School's understanding of its parent base. Consequently a second round of fee
reduction wa5 agreed at Easter 21. A new post of Director Adrni55ion5, Marketing and Communlcatlons was established
in May 21 to bring focu5 to these critical areas of school operation.
Estate. Understanding the condition and rnaintaining existing infrastructure whilst creating an emergency contingency
fund to cater for unexpected building failure5 across the estate remain5 a priofity. The 2020 Condition Survey has

Kingswood School
GOVERNORS, REPORT
For the year ended 31 July 2021
produced a rich set of data for consideration at the Finance & Estates and at the main Board Committee. Consequently
a significant fund was established for backlog maintenance, £1.75m Over 4 year5. Cornpliance issues remain a challenging
area, especially concerning asbestos, legionella and Radon gas. The Risk Mana8ement Committee regularly receive
reports and take action where necessary.
Reputatlonal. The continued success of the School 15 dependent on conlinuin8 to attract applicant5 in sufficient numbers
by maintaining the highest educational and pastoral standards. To mitigate this risk, the Foundation ensures pupil5'
success, achievements and welfare are closely monitored and reviewed. Thls has been exceptionally difficult during the
pandemic and innovative means have been 50U8ht to mitigate risk5 to the School'5 reputation. The Black Live5 Matter
and Everyone's Invited movements have focussed attention on the School's Diversity and Inclusion policy. this ha5 led to
the appolntment of a new p05t, Ihe FoL¢ndation Diverslty and Incluslon Champlon.
The Governors are of the opinion that appropriate measures have been put in place to mitigate significant risks. Sub-committee5,
strategic planning, budgeting. levels of authorisation, written policies and audits contribute to addressing risk factors,. however, it
15 recogni5ed that an absolute assurance cannot be provided.
Future Plans
The Board continues to map out the strategic direction for the Foundation. It 15 important to continue to build on the academic
and co-curricular success of the School, whilst Seeking to enhance attendance (sometimes with fee assistance) from a wide-range
of family backgrounds. The Foundation is enriched by oversea5 students and thi5, tO8ether with a vibrant Sixth Form, is another
major area of development. The Foundation must maintain the very healthy numbers of student5 in the Prep and Senior School,
wlth targets Set for the recently integrated marketing and admissions teams. Covid has caused the Trustees to reflect on the
overall health of the Foundation and although future plans remaln intact, they are constantly under review.
The Board has empha515ed the importance of reachinB Out to its alumnus, parent body and other partie5 to pursue common goa15
of friendship, mutual cooperation and the development of vèrious projects. To this end, the Kingswood Cornrnunity network has
been established. Board members frequently attend seminars on a wide range of independent school topics as organised bv
AGBIS. ISBA and other bodie5 of ISC. The Chairman, Principal, Bursar and other key mana8ernent personnel attend a Tange of

Investment In Informatlon Technologv
During the first lockdown in Summer 20 and subsequent Winter 21 repeat lockdown, it became very apparent that a $18nlficant
investment in IT was required. Academic staff weie equipped with a disparate range of mobile IT and some of the class rooms
lacked digital enhancement. Thanks to a rapid approval of a di8ltal equipment business case, the Director of IT procured and
implemented a roll out of Micr050ft Surface devices, which greatly aided teachers to deliver the curriculum from almost any WiFi
connetted location.
Perhaps it is no exaggeration to Stjggest that Kingswood squeezed 3 year5 of IT procurement in to 6 rnonth5. Although the spend
doubled on IT, it has been a force multiplier for parents and slgnificantly enhanced the School's reputation. The next step change
in IT is to equip the pupils with a choose and bring your own device. thls achieving a seamless integration with school systerns.
Estates Ma5tèrplan
The Board, through its subordinate Finance and Estates Committee, is determined to develop the fabric of the School as well as
maintaining 3 set of bulldings that date back to 1852 when the School was opened at its Bath location. An Estates Masterplan was
commissioned in 2D13, updated in 2016 and currently undergoing a 2020121 enhancement wSth a focus on potential asset
disposals to fund investment in the estate.
The build of a new Cookery School. completion of the enharTrced btsardin8 accommodation and the Dixon Sixth Form Centre 15 the
priority of the Board, now that the build at the Prep School has cornpletÈd. The ongoing drive to refurbish and ènhance the
School's indoor sports facilities is also an essential feature of the Masterplan. Additionally there 15 a fund-raising activily, led by
the Developrnent Director, to construct a Fitness and Wellbeing Sports Hub.
In the longer term, the Estates Masterplan contains concept drawings and analysls for the rebulld of teachlng, dlnlng and assemblv
facilities and the provision of more domestic residential properties.
The Board rernains èvèr committed to preserve the wonderful array of buildinBs at Kingswood. Built in the 185Os with substantial
additions in the inter-war years, there are four Grade 2 (including one of spetial category) Listed buildings. Discussions continue
with the Bath Preservation Trust to Share best practice on the preservation these historic buildings.
The Board commissioned 3 2019 Condition Survey to further examine the Estète's assets. Results of this survey were received
durin8 Easter and early summer 2020 and are now feeding in to the Estates maintenance programme and being used to juslify a

Flxed assets
Expenditure on fixed a55ets is capitalised except for expenditure incurred on the replacement of assets of low value with a
Short life. Repair. renovation and replacement expenditure is written off as expenditure in the statement of financial
activities. Normally items costing less than £1,000 are written off as an expense as acquired.
The School's land and building5 are owned by The Methodist Independent Schools Trust, but are included in these Financial
Statements as substantially all of the risks and reward5 of ownership are with the School. Land is not depreciated. Building5
are depreciated at rate5 calculated to write off the cost less their estimated useful residual values on a straight line basis
over the expected useful economic life of each building. The range of annual rates used for this purposels between 20 and

Intanglble fixed assets
Intangible assets are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and

Impalrment of flxed assets
At each reportlng end date, the charity review5 the carrying amounts of it5 tangible and intangible assets to determine
whether there 15 any indication that those assets have Suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the
recoverable amount of the a55et is estimated in order to determine the eKterit of the impairment loss lif anyl. Where it IS
not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the charity estimates the recoverable amount of
the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessin8 value in use, the estimated
future cash flows are discounted to their present value usine a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have
not been adjusted. If the recoverable amount of an asset lor cash-generating unitl is estimated to be le55 than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset lor ca5h-8enerating unitl is reduced to its recoverable amount.
Anim
airment 1055 is reco
nised immediately In the statement of financial activities. Recogni5ed impairment losses are
reversed if. and only if. the reason5 for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently
reverses, the carrying amount of the asset lor cash%enerating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable
amount. but so that the increased carryln@ amount does not exceed the carryin8 amount that would have been determined
had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset lor cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment
1055 is recognised immediately in the statement of financial activities.
Investments and Investment Income
Investment incorne is accounted for on a receivable ba515 and comprlses dividend income and interest. In accordance with
the SORP, investment5 are shown in the balance Sheet at their market value.
Galns and losses on Investment assets
Changes in the valuation of investments during the year are shown as gains or losses. Gains and losses arising from the
disposal of assets are the difference between the sale proceeds and the market value at the beginning of the year.

Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provision5 of Section Il'Basic Financial Instruments, and Section 12 '0ther Financial
Instruments Issue5, of FRS 102 to all of its finanaal instruments. Financial instruments are recognised when the charity
becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Flnancial assets and liabilities are offset. with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legallv
enforceable rlght to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basls or to rèalise thè asset
and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basicfinortclolassets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and otheT re¢eiv3bles and cash and bank balan￿5, are initially measured at
transaction pri￿ including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost Using the effective interest
mÈthod unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the financial asset is measured at the present
value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Impttirment offinpncial assets
Financial assets. other than those held at fair value through profit or loss, are a55e5sed foT indicators of impairment at
each reporting end date.
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after
the initial recognition of th& financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset 15 impaired.
the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows
discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the Impairment was recognlsed. the
impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying arnount
would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reveTsal 15 recognised in profit or
loss.
Derecognfftion offinanclul ussets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled,
or when the Group transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.
or if some significant risks and reward5 of owriership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another
party that is able to sèll the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third partv.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
In the application of the charity's accounting policie5, The Trusiees are required to make judgements. estlmates and
assumptions about the carrying amount ol 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, for example the useful economic life of fixed assets. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
retognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of
revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the year ended 31 July 2021
On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the government permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's judgment that
transitional provi5ion5 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 mernber 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 l April 2015 and
31 March 2022 at the point they become payable.
The TPS is subject to a c05t cap mechanism which was put in place to protect taxpayers against unforeseen changes in
scheFne costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 announc@d that there would be a review of this cost
cap mechanisrn, in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal'5 ruling in
the McCloud/Sargeant case and until there Is certainty about the value of pensions to employee5 from April 2015
onwards. The pause was lifted in july 2020, and a consultatlon was launched on 24 June on proposed changes to the Cost
control mechanism following a review by the Government Actuary. Followin8 a public consultation, the Government have
accepted three key proposals re¢ommended by the Government Actuary, and are aiming to implernent these changes in
time for the 2020 valuations.
In view of the above rulings and decisions the assumptions Used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuation may become
Snappropriate. In this scenario, a valuation prepared in accordènce with revised benefits and suitably revised assumptions
would yield different results than those contained in the Actuarial Valuation.
Until the cost cap rnechani5rr revision is eompleted it is not possible to conclude on any financial impact or future
¢h3nges to the contribution rates of the TPS. AccoidinEly no provision for any additional past benefit pension c05tS IS
included in these financSal statements.
