The College has had another year of strong pupil nutnber5, whereas for MCM. following the impact of closed borders for more than two years. pupil number5 are continuing to bounce back and are predicted to exceed pre-pandemic numbers during the next acadetnic y¢ar'.

The College's waiting lists remain strong which gives confidence rhai the Colleg¢ can operate ai (near) capacity for the foreseeable fUre. However, the Council is mindful that there 15 still the potential for a lasting impact froTn global political and econornic events, ineludints the on-going high cost of living and the itnposiiion of 200/0 VAT on school fees from I January 2025. The full impaci on pupil numbers in the years to come is still to be understood, as private education tsenerally sees a delayed impact following econotnic downturns. The Council is looking to rnitigate this impact as much as is possible and is also mindful of increased employmeni costs as a result of the increases io the national living wage and e]Thployer's national insurance ¢ontributions, plus chanoes to employment law and the removal of charitable relief on council tax. MCM has recorded continued growth. with an overall increase of IOYO as shown in the numbers above.

MARLBOROUGH COLLEGE COUNCIL'S REPORT (continued) FINANCIAL REVIEWAND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR The results for the year ¢nded 31 August 2025 include those of both Marlborough College and Marlborough College Malaysia IMCM) for the academic year 20241?5 as well a5 the 5ubsidiari¢s, Marlborough College Enterprises Lid and fvqarlboiough College (Overseas) Ltd (domiani). Consolidated nei fee income increased by a]mosi £7 milliort to £67.5 million, up from £60.67 million. The increase was due io a combinarion of factors'.- movements in pupil numbers". with pupil numbers at the College near or at previous y¢ar numbers, there was another increase in pupil nurnbers189 pupils) at MCM; and annual fee increases in both schools. This increase was in addition to an increase in bursary and scholarship funding at the College of approx. £460,000 and a rther £430,000 at MCM, with the emphasis on providing more a¢cessibility to the College5. The increased funding for the Ctsllege'5 bursaries is as a result of the generous donations to the Marlborough Difference Campaign for life-changing bursaries. In the year 2024125 the Colletse saw the crysiallisation of several significant fanCial risks. In January 2025. the College implemented VAT on 5¢hool fees as mandated by Government changes in V AT legislation. which saw a tnarked increase in cost5 to fe¢ payers. tn th¢ $8me period, charity Business Rat¢ Relief of 800/0 was removed from independeni schools: coupled with continued cost inflation this has added significant pressure to operating costs. Additionally. there was a marked in¢rease to the National MinimuTll Wage and the rate of employer's National Insurance contributions in April 2025. These risks had been foreseen. and the College had prepared for their impaci. However, the compound nature of the timints h2s led to a change in operating costs. Nonetheless. the College retained a strong net position from charitable activities. Net Income for the year is broadly similar io the prior year at £6.523m12023124.. £6.581m}. Th¢r¢ remains a positive movement on the total surplus encompassino the following factors=_ Net invesmieni gains of £0.7m (2023124.. £2.4 million) contributing to restricted ndS for bursaries, ineluding investTnent activity from the new Curgenven fund: £2.? m of dotjations during the year by the Colleoe. largely towards bursary awards. The overall surplus has reduced compared to the prior year to £3.84m12023124.. £6.69ml affected solely by a negative. non-cash. revaluation on the pension deficit of £2.7m (2023124.. Gain of £94k). Significgnt Events Following the change of UK Oovernrnent policy on tatIOn. VA T was levied on school fees from January 2025. coupled wilh the in¢r¢ase in ihe National Living Wage and employer's national insurance contributions and the removal of mandatory business Tate relief, this has significantly in¢reas¢d costs incurred by both the Cglleoe and Parents. In advance of ihis, College had reforecast its fanCIal expenditure, looktng ai ways to increase other revenue sources coupled with redOublg efforts to fujd further cost effitiencies Éo reduce the nei impact to rhe College 8J)d therefore on paTents. 14
MARLBOROUGH COLLEGE COUNCIL'S REPORT leontinuedl INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMAf4CE The College's investments were manatsed in the year by RathboDes tnvestment Management Ltd and overseen by the Investment Committ¢¢. Th¢ investrnent policy is total return accounting. with the overall objeciive to increase the fund's value in line with fee inf]aiion and provide up to CPl+j40/o for draw down in support of bursaries. After the year end, the Investment Committee moved to appoini Cazenove Capiial as joint investment manageTS Wlth Eiathbones. splittino fijnds between the two tnanatsers.

The purpose of each fund is described in Note 16. In addition io this, activities in relation to Malaysia are shown separdtely Ls a fund within the accounts. The Group holds unrestricted general reserves of £104.) million (2024.. £101 ? million). The value of these reserves 15 moTe than exceeded by the value of tsngible fixed asseis at £152.4 Tnillion (2024.. £152.4 million), which means that the Group ha5 no free reserves1202i124.' nil). This is due to the lonts_temi irtvestmenl in building5 as part of the Colleoe's development plan which envisages significant fijrther capital expenditure. The Council continues io be satisfied thai external financial faeilities, including a £5 million revolving credit faciliry, provide an acceprable level of support and the asset base includes property which can be realised to support the College's capitsl programme should it be required. The management of funding and working capital is monitored by the Colleges, Finance Committee on a regular basis and a nuTnber of funding streams are being identified to support the capital requiremenis for the short and medium iemi. The Councils of both Coll¢ge5 ('the Councils,) are 5at15fied that the Colleges haye suiTicient WOTking capital. They have reviewed the long term plans for working capital to ensure there will be sufficieni funds should they be required in the future for unforeseen situations. This policy is monitOTed by the Colleges, Finance Committees and reviewed at least tern)ly. Current prevailing factors and Cost impacts have been considered wi¢h regards to updaring forecasts and the Council considers that the goints ¢oncem basis r¢main$ 2ppropriate for the preparation of the College'5 ac¢ounts. MCM'S Council has reviewed the school's operating and financial position consider that the going concern basis remains appropriate. RISK MANAGEMENT The major risks to whi¢h the Colleges are exposed, as identified by the Councils. have been revieived and systems have been established io mititsate those risks, wh¢rev¢r p055ible. This is an on-going pro¢¢ss and the Councils, review and update the risk management proc¢ss at l¢ast wmually. The principal risks and un¢¢rtainties identified by the Colleges include the followiTrg.'- affordability of fe¢s by parents across the independent school sector particularly in light of the imposition of VAT on fees and all Tel¢vaDt extras in the UK; Ojture demand for independent education aftd particularly boarding education, laelY driven by the above changes. futur¢ govemments chanttes 10 the law to remov¢ fvrtheT ¢haritable i&x breaks in the UK., failure to 5af¢guard the wellbeing and security of pupils and staff- 15
MARLBOROUGH COLLEGE COUNCIL'S REPORT (Continued) the ability to quickly implement any strdtegic change and the costs involved in implementation, particularly where ihe ¢hange is outside of ihe Colleges, control. such as changes in legislation and pension coniriburions. the financial and social impacts of wider tslobal instability; environtnental issues create an increased finan¢ial burden, particularly when there aT¢ limited chaDg¢5 that can be made in some 2rea5 due to the age and listintr status of some of the IUKI estate., and (risk specific to MCM is) the reduction of expatriate professionals in the ASEAN region as a result of ihe global issues. This has led MCM to cast its pupil recjuitsneni ner wider to allract local pupils in a number of couniries who are inierested in a holistic Brirish education. The College is still very near capacity: MCM'S pupil numbers are looking very FK)Sitive and pupil numbers are increasing. We will continue to review demand against available capacity and facilities and plan investtnent to match this trend. The Councils for both schools continue io carefully monitw fee increases in the fuDJre to enable accessibiliry but at the same tirne to ensure that the highest siandards are maintained in both Colleges. The College is also looking ai contingency planning should fi]rther tax changes be introduced. There is also ihe ongoing risk io remove independent schools, charitable status in the UK, amongst other risks. The College is committed to improving supportto oiher schools and improvino accessibility to the edutation provided ai the College, with ambitlOUS iargets being set to ty and achieve increased bursary awards via the Development Olyice. Should the charitable status be removed it could impact the amount the College is able to do in these areas. The safeguarding of children is an extremely important area for risk management. Oryanisations which work wirh Children have a critical role to play in preventing, Identifying and reporting cases of safeguarding concern. Both Colleges aim io miiigaie Ihese risks by paying particular attention to the training of staff and other individuals associated with the organisation aboui how to identify signs of safeguarding concern. educating the pupils appropriately, implementing robust safer recNitsnent policies, adopting clear procedures for reporting and recording concerns, and implementing a strong culture of pastoral care within the Colleges. Health and Safery is a significant area for risk management. The risks range from ftre and infrastructure to personal risks. The level and breadth of activiry ai the Colleges is notable and the risks associated wilh all activities are managed by thorough planning andrisk assessment. The risk management process identifies risks, assesses their impact and likelihood and, where necessary, recommends Controls to mitigate and monitor those risks that are ossessed as high. The key controls used by the Colleges to minunise risk in¢lude'.- policies 3nd vetting procedures. including Safer RecNillnenL as required by law for the protection of children. fornial agendas for the Councils and all Committee meetings. including an atal review of risk management. detailed temis of reference for all Committees; strategic development pla[lg reviewed a[UallY by the Councils; compreheThsive budgeting and maDagement accounting. external auditors, review including of controls. policies and procedures; estsblished organisaiional strucDJres and lines of reporting- fortnal written w)licies including clear authorisation and approval levels; and expert advi¢e and support from the variou5 professional suppon teams including Finan¢e, HR, Operations, Health and Safery. and Admissions as well as from qualified and experienced academic staff with d¢di¢ated responsibility for 5afeguardints and pastoral ¢ar¢. The Councils regularly review the effectiveness of ¢UTrent plans and strategies for managing all identified major risks for tMIth the Colleges and iheir subsidiaries. Through iheir risk management pr(Kesses. the Councils are satisfied that the major risks identified have been ad¢quately mitigaced where necessary.

Conclusions r¢l#tlhg to going eorteern In audiling the financial siatemenis. we have concluded that the Council'5 use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financi21 statemenis is appropriate. Based on th¢ work we have perfomied, we have not identified any tnaterial uneertainties relaiing io ev¢Dts or condition5 that, individually or collectively, may cast significatit doubt on the ¢harity'S ability to continue as a goiDg concern for a period of ai leasi twelve months from when the fancial sratemenrs are authorised for issue.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and. in doing so. consider whether the other infortnation is materially inconsisieni with the financial ststements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be tnaterially misstated. If we ideniify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to deterrnine whether this gives rise to a material misstaiemenc in the financial statement5 themselves.

IKARLBOROUGH COLLEGE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MARLBOROUGH COLLEGE (continued) In preparsng the fmancial statements, Council are responsible for assessing ihe Group's and the par¢nt chariry's ability to continue as a ooing concern. disclosing, as applicable, matter5 related to tsoing concern and using rhe going ¢on¢ern basis of accounting unless the Council either intend io liquidate the charity or to eease operations. or have no realisti¢ alternative bui to do w. Auditor's respon5ibilitles for Ihe *udlt of the finAneial statements We have been appoinied as auditor vnder S¢ClioD 151 of the Charities Act 201 l and report in a¢cordan¢e with the Act and relevant regulations madc or havints effect ther¢under. Our objective5 are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstaiement. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audiior's repon thar includes our OPiDiOn. Re&8onable assurance is a hiJo level of assurance but is not a guaTant¢e that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA5 IUKI will always detett a material misstaiement when li exists. Misstatement5 can arise from fraud or etroi and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expe¢ied to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these fmancial statements. Details of the exient to which the audit wa5 considered Capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set oui below. A hjrther description of our respoTJsibiliti¢s for the audit of rhe fancial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.org.ukjaudiiorsresponsibilities. This description fornis part of our auditor's report. Extent to which the audit wa5 con5ider¢d c#p3ble of dettctlng Irregularities, including fraud Irreoularities. including fraud, are in51an¢es of non-cotnpliance wsth laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risk of ma(erial misstatement of the fancial statements from iTFeoulariiies, wherher due to fraud or eOr, and discussed these beNeen our audit team member5. We then de5itstJed and perfom)ed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obthining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We obtained an under518Dding of th¢ legal and reoulatory frameworks within rhe charity and Group operates. focusing on those laws and regulations ihat have a di¢t effect on the deiemiinaiion of maierial amounts and disclosures in the ftnancial statements. The laws and regulations we eonsidered in this contexi were the Charities Act 2011, together with the Charities SORP IFRS 1021. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulation5 as part of our audit piotedures on the relaied fancIal statement itetns. In addition. we considered provisions of orher laws and regulations that do not have a direti effect on the fu)ancial stsiemeni but compliance with tnitsht be fundamental io the charitable company'5 and the Group's ability to operate or io avoid a marerial penalty. We also considered the oppominiiies and incentives that tnay exsst within the charitable company and the group for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were The Education (Independent School Standards) Regul#iions ?014. Auditing standaFds limit the required audit procedures to identify non-cornpliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Council and other management. and inspection of regulatory and legal eotrespondence. if any. W¢ identified the grearest risk of material impact on the fjnancial statetnents from irregularities. including fraud, to be within bursarie5, scholarships and other discounts, and the overyide of contro15 by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks ineluded enquiries of management, and rhe Audit and Risk Comtllittee aboul their own identification and assesstnent of th¢ risks of irr¢gulaTities. sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting esiimates for biases, designing audit procedures over fee concessions, discounis, reviewing regulatory correspondence with ihe Chariry Commission, Independent S¢hools Inspectorate. Ofsted and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audi(. there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some rnat¢rial misstatements in the fmancial statements. even though we have properly plannd and perfornied Qui audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the tther removed non-compliance with law5 and regulations lirregulariti¢sl is from th¢ events and transactions reflected in the fmancial staiements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures r¢quired by auditing standard5 would identify it. In addition. as with aDy audit, there retnained a higher risk of non-d¢tection of iegUlaritieS, as these may involve collusion, forgery, ititentional omissions. misrepresentations, 01 the override of infernal controls. We are not responsibl¢ for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulaiions. 22

I¥IARLBOROUGH COLLEGE STATEMENT OFACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 The principal accounting policies adopted, judgetncnts and key sources of estimation uncertainry in the preparation of the fancIal statements are as follows.. a) Ba5l5 of preparation The fanCIal statements have been prepared llj accordan¢¢ with Fitwcial Reporttrtg Standard 102 and the Statement of Recotnmended Practice (SORP FRS1021 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities effective l January. 2019 and the Charitie5 Act 2011. The fmancial statements have been prepared io give a 'true and fair. view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the ¢xtent required to provide a 'true and fair view. This departure has involved following A¢counting and Reponing by Charities that prepare their accounts in accordance with the Finaneial Reporting Siandard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 issued on 16 July 2015 rather than th¢ A¢countsng and Reponing by Charities.. Siatemeni of Recommended Practice effe¢txve from l April 2005 which has sinc¢ been withdrdwn. Marlborough College meets the defmition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention as modified by th¢ revaluation of certain assets. A5set5 and liabilities Jr¢ initially recognised at hisiorical cosi or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the r¢levant accounting policy notels). The presentation currency is pound sterling while the subsidiary of Marlborough College Overseas Limited, M East Sdn Bhd, a company regisiered in Malaysia and which operates the school Marlborough College Malaysia (MCM), whose nCtIonl currency is Malaysian ringgits. The account5 are rounded to the n¢ar¢st thousand. b) Going coDc¢rn The Council considers there are no material uncertainties about the Group's fjnancial viability and hence its ability to continue as a going concem. The review of the financial position. reserves levels and future plans gives tru5tee5 confiden¢e the Group remains a going concern for the foreseeable future. In particular, conservative Cashflow rnodellino with sensitivity analysis including th¢ implementation of VAT on h9O] fees indicates that the cash reserves of the UK charity are adequate to meet the obligations as they fall due. A¢¢ordingly the Council believe that the Colleges fanCIal resources are sufficient to ensure thai both Colleges, and the Group as a whole, will continue as a goinu contem for the foreseeable fvture. be jntt at least l ? month5 from the date of approval of the fwancial ststements, and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a goints concern basis. c) Critical accounting judgements and e5tiin8tes In preparing thes¢ financial statements, Management ha5 mad¢ judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the College's a¢¢ounting policies and the reported assets, liabilities, income and expenditure and the disclosure5 made in the financial statement5. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factor5, including expectation5 of fuwre events thai are believed to be reasonable under the cirtumstance5. Certain long term liabilitie5, including overseas depo5lts and ¢ntrance deposits. have noi been discounted on the tsrounds that Ihe irnpa¢t of discounting is considered to be immateTial to the financial statemenis. Where the impact is material, specifically in relation to MCM entrm¢e d¢posits, the liabilitie5 have been di5COUnted. Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised to th¢ extent that is probable thai i&Yable profits will be available against which the deductible tetnporary differenc¢s or unused taK105s¢s ¢pn be utilised. Impairnient of Property and Equipment The Colleg¢s' a5se55 whether there is any indication that property and equipmeni are impaired ai the end of each reporting period. lrnpairtnent loss is recognised for the amount by which the canying amount of the assei exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an as5et'% fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairnient, assets are grouped at th¢ lowest level for which there is separately identifiable cash flows (cash generatino units). d) Fees and sirnilar in¢om¢ Fees receivable and charge5 for services are a¢count¢d for in the year in which the service is provided. Fees receivable are staled afier deductinu allowance5, scholarships and other reTnissions granted by the College. and include contributions received from Associated Funds for Scholarships, Bursari¢s and other tsrants. e) Sumrner School "Summer School" wa5 discontinued a5 from Summer 2025 and r¢pla¢ed with a ranoe of third party ix)okings for the use of space and facilities at Marlborough College. These hove proved succe55fi11 in provints capabiliry and future potential and income and cost5 aTe included in the accounts. These activitie5 are ¢xp¢¢i¢d to 0W as College gains experience and develops long ierni relationships with key Organisation. 27
MARLBOROUGH COLLEGE STATEMENT OFACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 DonationS* gifts and legacies Donations are recognised as income on receipt of funds. If received for the general PuseS of the College they are CTedited to College funds. Where the Council designates donations for special pu4x)ses ihey are crediied io designated funds. io distinouish them from direci school income. t)onations subject io specific wishes of the donors are Credited to relevant restricted fijnds. or to endowed fijnds. where the capital is permanent. Legacies are reeoonised as income on receipt of funds or when entitlement of receipt by ihe Foundation is measurable and considered probable. Eniitlement is taken to be the earlier date of the Colle(Te being notified of an impending distribution followino settlement of the esiate or the letsacy beints received. g) Expenditure ExpendirLJre is accounted for on an accruals basis when there is a leoal and constnjctive obligation to make a payment io a third party and the amount can be measured reliably. Expenditure is allocated to expense headinJ(r either on a direct cost basis, or apportioned accordino ro time spent. Support costs include expenses which enable charitable activities and fund oeneraiino to be undertaken. Govemance costs include exp¢nditur¢ on managernent and ¢ompliance with constitutional and staMtory requiremenis. h) Lease$ The Collettes, rentals paid under operatints leases, in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor, are charoed to income on a straiJo t line basis over the lease tem. MCM'S leases of assets where they assume substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased assets are classified as finance leases. The leased assets and the corresponding lease liabilities {net of fmance charges) under fmance leases are recognised on the balance sheet as land and buildings and borrowings respectively, ai the inception of ihe leases based on the lower of the fair value of the leased assets and the present value of ihe minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is apportioned bettveen the finance expense and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability. The FanCe expense is recognised in the Stsiement of Financial Activities on a basis that reflects a constant P¢Tiodi¢ rate of interest on the fmance lease liability. l) Fin8n¢i81 instruments Both Colleges have fancial assers and financial liabiliries of a kind thai qualify as basic fancial instrutnents. Basic fanCIal insmiments, including trade and other debtors and creditors are initially recognised at transa¢tion value and sub5¢quently measured at their settlement value. MCM also ha5 debt instruments that are classified as cuent assets or Current liabilities and are measured at the undiscounted amount of cash or other consideraiion expected to be paid or received. Other debt instruments are measured at amortised ¢osi using the effective interest method. j) Tangible fixed gssets The College land and buildings in existence at l July 1999 were valued by the Couneil on the following basis.. Specialised buildings were valued using depreciated replacement cost. Speciali5ed buildings ar¢ buildintss su¢h 8$ 5¢hools, "where there is no competing market demand from other organisations using these types of property in th¢ locality" and are therefore rarely sold on the open market for single occupation for a Continuation of their existino use, except a5 Part of a sale of the business in oecupaiion. Aequisitions of specialised building5 sub5¢qu¢nt to l July 1999 ar¢ capitalised and subsequently depreciated in accordance with ihe College's nornial accounting poli¢ies, as $¢1 out below {pats¢ 29). Non-specialised buildings were valued at existing use Value. Non-specialised buildings include re5ideniial buildings outside the College calnpus and shop5. Land related to specialised building5 were valued on an agricultural value basis. Land relating to non-specialised buildings were valued at open market value. The College does not intend to adopi a policy of revaluation. Thus the building5 valuations ai l July 1999 are frozen subject to any adjusrments necessary resulting from an impainnent review. 28
