Foreword by the Headmaster of King5wood School & Principal of Kingswood Foundation
rhis was the year when the school life that we know and love, carne roaring back to sornething approaching normality. It IS
alway5 a privilege as Headmaster to pen the opening words to this foreword, and it feels especially so at the end of my second
vear at the helm, havine now experienced the great spirit of our pupils in action. and had a chance to meet many of our parents
and alumni who are so supportive ol our efforts.
Many congratulations are due to our Year 13 leaver5 who celebrated outstanding A Level results over the summer, with 67% of
èll Brades at A. or A. 88% at A. B and a 100% pass rate. This is Kingswood's best ever outcome, considerèbly ahead even of the
results achieved in 2020 and 2021. Well over half the cohort achieved 3 A'IA grades or better. We are equally delighred for our
8TEC Sport cohort who all achieved Distinctions. Holding such strong results. 86% of those who applied gained acceptance at
their first-ehoice university. with the number rising to 95% into either their first or insurance choice. Two thirds of these

people who showed characteristic ambition and resilience to achieve such excellent results, despite the disruption they have
@xperienced over the last few years.
GCSE results day was similarly joyful with the Year 11 cohort also bucking the national trend and achieving results in line with
last year. With 57% of all results awarded at grades 9 and 8, and 76% at grades 9- 7, Students have achieved very highly across
both GCSE and IGCSE examination5. The picture is an excellent one acros5 the breadth of the curriculum with the Science5,
Humanities and Creative Arts all enjoying stellar results.

the best ver5ion% of themselves, even as they celebrate the succes5 of other5. Such excellent outcomes are, of course. a tearn
effort. l arn thankful to our teachers who guided our pupils Wlth such expertise and offered such wonderful pastoral care, and
a550 to our parents for working with us in constructive partnership.
Our reputation as a School where pupils learn as much tsutside the classroom as they do within it is well earned. and it was
heart-warmlng to witne5S 50 rnany young people developing their existing talents and taking advantage of the rnany
opportunities to find new ones. The busy co-curricular life of the school tontinues to strongly influence the character
development of our pupils and the formation of impressive personal qualities. The rugby season produced a story that for me
highlighrs the Kingswood spirit and all that sport and competition leèches about life. All season, our 1st XV played with grit,
determination, bravery and an indefatl8able team spirit- despite this, match win5 retnained elusive. The way the team played
however was a great eK3mple to our U16A team who, In turn, exhibited the very same qualities and who. in contrasi, enjoyed an
unbeaten season. This vignette is a microcosm of so many areas of school life,. we of course play to win, but it's not the winning
or105ing that is important. but the content of your character and how you play the game, and these two contrastinE Stories both
hold the same core truth. exhlblted by our teams, about the importance of winnin8 Wlth humility and losinB with good grace.
If the greatest commandment is to love, it follows that the m05t important school rule Is to be kind. It is uplifting to lead
community where this is so hardwired into everyday life and, to this end, it wa5 a pleasure to be back in our lovely chapel this
Year with our new chaplain, Rev Katy, challenging our pupils to develop a philosophy to look beyond themselves. responding to
the needs of others. The Charity and Service committee had a busy year helping to co-ordinate the work our pupils do in the
local community 8nd raise funds for pupil 5eleeted charities. The take up for our sixth form mentoring training ha5 been reallv
encouraging and l am pleased that we are working with a local charity. Mentoring Plus, to pilot a scheme where sixth form
students get out into local primary schools and use their training as mentors and role models to pupils in the younger years.
l always maintain that a school that sin8S $5 a school at ease with itself, and so was delighted to see the quality of congregational
slnging improving over the year as our pupils made up for the lack of music and singing that was a feature of the pandemic
years. Our chapel organ ha5 been given a complete overhaul, Ihanks to some very generous donations from alumni, and we will
be looking to raise the roof in the coming year.
I hope that john Wesley would be pleased that down the ages we have taken him seriously when he said that
-an ounce of
love Is worth a pound of knowledge." We are of course all about the acquisition of knowledge, skills and intellectual mastery,
but we are also about developing all elements of what it mean5 to be human.. mlnd, body and spirit. This demand5 a
commitment to a really balznced approach to education. The achievements and personal development of our pupils durlng the
year demonstrate Kin8swood's ongoing commitment to excellent educational standards, as well as our deep conviction that
personal care for individuals allow5 them to flourish, even in the most challenBin8 of circumstances.

emphasise that a contingency or reserve fund is something being actively considered In the Forward Plan.
strategic Risk Management
The B03rd of Governors is responsible for putting in place strategies to mitigate major risks to the Foundation. The Board formally
reviews the Risk Register annually and governors are represented on the termly meetings of the Risk Managemènt Corllmittee,
chaired by the Director of Finance and Operations. This Committee tdentifie5, assesses and consider5 rnitl8ation and control
mechani5m5. The significant risks, as identified by the committee and endorsed by the Board comprise..
Safeguarding. Ensuring that appropriate identification, control and reporting mechanism5 are in place to ensure that
children are kept safe. The reputational damage of a failure in 5afe8uardin8 would severely impact the Foundation.. for
this reason it is the highest placed risk. The school has a robust DSL structure acr055 both the Prep and Senior school5.
Coronavlrus. Whilst relative normality has resumed; the residual le8acy Still poses a risk on the performance of the
school,. whether thavs financial stability of the parent body, or through staff absence5. For that reason, COVID should at
thi5 Stage sti11 remain a focu5 ptsint.
Financlal. Retaining pupll numbers (boarder5 and day students) to ensure ihat a predictable and stable financial plan can
be constructed. A significant drop in pupils would severely impact the financial health of the F(>undation. In addition,
potential threats to income and expenditure in the independent sector are modelled by the Strategic Planning
Committee. Whilst numbers are lookin8 very positive,. on the political horizon, the financial sustainability of independent
schools remains in the balance, should there be a change of Government to one which does not support the ethos of
private education. However, we remain positive in both our current admissions forecasts and with a new Director of

to reach the next natural break in their education. In addition. the schDoI is currently supporting two children whose education
has been interrupted by conflict In Ukraine and Afghanistan, and has partnered with charities in each country to identify these
¢hi1dren.

stholarships are awarded. These range from IOYO to 15%, with 200 children from a broad range of backgrounds benefitting. Due
to the war in Ukraine, the FLT agreed a number of payment plans lor students from Ukraine and Ru55ia who were impacted at a

Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the trustees, respon5ibilitles statement set out on page 15 the trustees are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statement5 and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as
the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In prep3rin8 the financial 5taternentS, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent charity's ability to
continue as a goin8 concern. disc105in& as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going contein basis of
accounting unle55 the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charity or to cease operation5, 01 have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Audltor's responsibilitiès for the audit of the linzntial statements
OUT objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstaternent, 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 a¢¢ordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and aTe considered material if, individually or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the etonomic decisions of users taken on the basis ol these financial
statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are in5tènces of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedure5 in line with our
responsibilities, outlined above. to detect rnaterial misstatement5 in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which
our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, Sncluding fraud 15 detailed below..
Based on our understanding of the group and the environrnènt in which it operate5, we identified that the principal risks of non-
compliance with laws and regulations related to the independent school regulations, safeguarding re8ulation5, health and sÈfety
requirements, GDPR, ernployment law and charity law and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a
material effect on the financial statements. We a150 ¢onsldered those law5 and regulations that have a direct impact on the
preparation of the financial statement5 such as the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP and conslder other factors such as
payroll tax.
We evaluated management'5 incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the
risk of override of controlsl. and determined that the principal risks were related to the improper recognition of revenue and
management bia5 in accountlng estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included..
Inspecting correspondence with regulator5 and tax authorities;
Di5CU55ions with managerrent including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance wlth laws and
regulation and fraud.,
Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irre8ularitie5',
Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal Énrries posted at the year end,. and
Challenging assumptions and judgement5 made by management in their critical accounting estimates.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to
material misstatement in the financial staternents or non-compliancewlth regulation. This risk increase5 the more that cornp1iance
with a law or regulation is remtsved from the event5 and transactions reflected in the financlal statements, as we will be less likely
to become aware of instances of non-cotnpliance. The risk 15 also greater regarding irregularitie5 Occurring due to fraud rather
than error, as fraud involves intentional concÈ3lment. forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial 5taternenrs is located on the Financial Reporting Council'5

Kingswood School NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 July 2022 

## **Basis of consolidation** 

The consolidated statement of financial activities, balance sheet and statement of cash flows include the financial statements of Kingswood School, its subsidiaries, Kingswood Enterprises Limited (Co. Reg. No. 0254544) and Kingswood International Limited (Co. Reg. No. 10519713) as well as its subordinate charity, Kingswood School Development Fund (Charity Reg No. 310229) made up to 31 July 2022. Kingswood Enterprises Limited is involved in commercial lettings, property management and the rental of minibus services for the benefit of the School. Kingswood International Limited is involved in promoting the Kingswood School way of education to overseas partners and developing education opportunities to overseas markets. Kingswood School Development Fund's main objects are to fundraise and apply the annual income of the charity for such charitable purposes as the Governors shall determine. The results of the subsidiaries are consolidated on a line by line basis, with all inter group sales and profit eliminated fully on consolidation. Kingswood International Limited is exempt from audit under section 479A of the Companies Act 2006 and therefore the results of this entity are unaudited. 

## **Fees and similar income** 

Fees receivable, charges for services and use of premises are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided. Fees receivable are stated after deducting allowances, scholarships and other remissions granted by the School, but include contributions received from restricted funds for scholarships, bursaries and other grants. Fees received for education to be provided in future years are carried forward as deferred income in the balance sheet. 

## **Donations and legacies** 

Donations receivable for the general purposes of the School are credited to "other unrestricted funds", to distinguish them from direct School income. Donations for purposes restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to "restricted funds" where these wishes are legally binding on the Governors.  Donations required to be retained as capital in accordance with the donor's wishes are accounted for as "endowments"; permanent or expendable according to the nature of the restriction. Legacies are recognised where there is entitlement, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Job Retention Scheme government grant** 

Job Retention Scheme income is recognised once the school has confirmed that it is entitled to the income, the amount can be reliably estimated, and receipt is probable. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. The allocation of expenditure between direct charitable and costs of raising funds is a subjective split based upon the Bursar's best estimate of the resources input to these different parts of the School's operations in the year. 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, including strategic planning for its future development, also external audit, any legal advice for the Governors and all costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements, such as the costs of Board and Committee meetings and of preparing statutory Financial Statements and satisfying public accountability. 

## **Employee Benefits** 

The School contributes to the Teachers' Pension Defined Benefits Scheme at rates set by the Scheme Actuary and advised to the Board by the Scheme Administrator. The scheme is a multi-employer pension scheme and it is not possible to identify the assets and liabilities of the scheme which are attributable to the School. In accordance with FRS 102 section 28 therefore, the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme. 

The School also contributes to individual personal pension schemes for non-teaching staff, at 5% of annual basic pay, which is treated as a defined contribution scheme. The costs of contributions to these funds are charged to the revenue account in the accounting period for which they are payable. 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the School is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

The School's land and buildings are owned by The Methodist Independent Schools Trust, but are included in these Financial
statements as 5ubst3nti3lly 311 of the risks and rewards of ownership are with the School. Land is not depreciated. Buildings

over the expected useful econornic life of e3¢h building. The range of annual rate5 used for this purpose is bètween 20 and
50 years.

Impairment of fixèd assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of Its iangible and intangible assets to determine
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment 105s. If any such indication exists, the
recoverable amount ol the a55et is estimated in order to determine the extent of the irnpairment loss lif anyl. Where it is
not possible to e5timatÈ the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the charity estimates the recoverable amount of
the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amounrls the higher of fair value le55 Costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated
future cash flows are di5COUllted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market
assessment5 olthe 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 a55et lor cash-generating unit) is estimated to be le55 than its carrying
amount, the carryin8 amount of the asset lor ca5h-8eneratin8 unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount.
An impairment Ioss is recognised immediately in the statement of financial activities. Recognised impairment losses are
reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment1055 have teased to apply. Where an impairment105s subsequently
reverses, the carrying amount of the assei lor cash-generating unit) is increased to thÈ revised estimate of its recoverable
amount. but 50 thatthe increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been deterrnined
had no impairment10ss been recognised for the asset lor ca5h-geneiating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment
1055 is recognised immediately in the stètement of financial activities.

discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment105s is recognised in profit or loss.
If there is a decrease in the impairment1055 arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the
impairment 15 reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carryin8 amount
