alumni th? ow Ifikings. These activities are not carried out by professional fund raisers or commercial
participattsrs and do not involve appro￿hing members of tha gener￿ publr or vulnerable people. The
fundrai8er8 concemed are bound by any vduntsry scheme or standard wf(h rgspect to the acbvities
carried out. The fundraising xtivities are not dirècly monfcored by the Coll￿8 but f( is aware of the
nature and exient of the activities thrO￿h its clos8 assock*ion with the groups. There have been no
ccfnplaints received by the coll￿ in res￿ of the fundraising activi(*s.
VOLUNTEERS
Former pupi[6 ('0￿ Vikings"} play a major role in rnarketing the College and take part in awde rang8 of 8v8nts
and actimtw. The Parent Tea¢herAs50ciation mn a numbèr of events to provide opportuni(ies for parents to
meet in a social ￿￿rOnment. Th8 Board would lTre to take this opportunty to say how much we appréciate
both groups for their continuing and v￿Uable support for our work akng with the many parents that support
and assist in a myriad of ways.
FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR
As with all similar schools, the College r￿81￿$ rdiant on fee inccme for the m4cwity of its funding. The
Gov8mor5 are aware of the impact of any incteases and will only authorise fee rises in response to
unavoidable increases in c(￿tS. Dua to the restrictions in PE8￿ on pupils being in schLY)I during the Summer
Term as a result of COVID-19, the col￿ge i)ffer&J a fee rgjuction to all parents. Fee income before bursaries
and alk)wanc8s decreased to £10,589.644 (2019.. £11.578.365).
The College also takes every opportunlty to rwse addrbonal furKls and improve the quabty of the &Jucation on
offer. In o normal year, the COl￿e would host numerous weddings and olherfunGtions and would be used by
Ardmore Language Schools during the Easter and SUMM￿ h￿idaYS. Unfortunatély. as a resu￿ of COMD-19
restrlctions. many of these activities were reduced spJnitsntty which reduced the income for the College. In
addition, the summer rtrmng camps and the residentsgl rowing camps that Ihg Cdlggg runs had to be
cancelled. Due to a combin*ion of Ihgsefxtors, totJ ir￿e decrea5￿ to£10.850,850 (2019." £12, 166,877).
To mitigate the imp¥1 of th8 r8duced fee irKome as a resull ot COVlD-19. the Colb3e ware grateful to be
able to benefit of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to furk)ugh certain membeTr of Staff. The College
also undertook ¢osl Cutting exerc(ses to ensure its finanual fulure was secure.
Wvjer access to an ￿￿Cation at Shiplake College was provided this year and the value of means-test
bursarie5 made to the College's pupils out ¢rf unrestrtcted hjnds was £348,666 which r8presents 3.3% of gross
fee income. 33 pupils received a m&ans-18Sted bursarywith 5 ￿e￿ng total discounts of85'k offees or more.
In addition, the value of scholarships, grants and cther awards mad6to the Cdlege's pupils out of unrestrited
funds was £479,048 which represents 4.50A of gros$ fee in￿￿e.
The surplus before taking accoLmt of deprecHt#)n and the fwr walue movement on the derivatwe contrxt was
£1,433,571 which ￿preSentS 13% of net income. This bvel is Il￿ged n#essary to allow the Govemors to
invest in new facilrties. whilst maintain the ￿$ting byiklings. The Collage priwleged to have access to such
a magntficent (2mpus, but qualty faces a signtficant and ongoing cost in maintaining the infrastrvcture,
particularly of the 0￿er buiklings.
During the year Shiptake Court Enterprise5 generated a suwus of £3.917 (2019." £13.750J and made a
donation lo the College of £12,465 (2019." £4.7fKIJ. The trading ￿ultS are set out in note 6.
Rgserves Policy
The GI)ver￿@ have revwed the res￿VeS of the Col￿ge. This revi￿ encunpassed the nature of incorne

th8 College aims lo invest 5urplu5 cash fiJrKts to optimrsg rgtum, whikst ensuring the iftvestmenl instruments
are such that there is minimal risk to the Ic6s of these cash balan￿. The Conege's free reserves were

PENSIONS
The Schcol participates in the Teach9TS' Pension Scheme Cttie TPS") for teaGhing siaff. The pension
charp for the year indudes contributions payable to the TPS of £690,524 {2019.. £S)4.421) and al the
year*nd £nil (20f9.. £nM) was xcrued in resp&t of contribthns to thts scheme.
The TPS is an unfunded multkemployer defined ben￿ pènsion $ch￿￿e goveme*J by The Teachers,
Pensions Regulations 2010 las arn￿ded) and The Teachers, Pension Scheme R4uknions 2014 {a¥
amended). Members cwtribuie on a 'pay as you go" basis with cpntributK)ns fr¢Jm members and th&
employar being eredrfLed to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paKi by public furKIs
provided by ParliaM￿L
The employer contr*utit)n rate is sd bythe Secretsry of State following scheme valuations undertaken by
the Govemrnent Actua￿$ Department The most rec8nt actuarial waluation ofthe TPS was Prepared as at
31 March 2016 and the Valuation Reprt which was published in March 2019. confimied thatthe employer
contnbLrtion rate for the TPS woukj increase from 16.4% to 23.6% from 1 S8Ptember 2019. Employers are
also required to pay a scheme administrati￿ levy of 0.08% giwng a tcAal employer contribution rate of
23.68%.
The 31 March 201S Valuation Report was preparad in accordanee wrih the ben8ffts sel out in the scheme
regulations and underthe approach specffiad in the Directions, a5 they appliad at 5 March 2019. However,
the assumptions were considered arKI set by the Departrnent for Edu¢2tion prior to the Tuling in the
'MGCloudlSargeant case,. This cas8 ha$ required the courts to consider cases rg9arding the
impleM￿tation of the 2015 reform5 to Public SeN"ce Ponsions including the T8achers' Pensions.
On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the g0￿Mment permiss¥)n to apped th8 Court of Appeal,
judgment that transrfcional provisions introJuGgJ lo the refomed pension schemes in 2015 gave rtse to
unlawful age discrimination. The government i8 r85peth.ng the Court's deCiS￿n and has said rt wll engag¢
fulty with the Employment Tribunal as well as ern￿Oyer and memb9r repr8sentatwés to agree how the
iscriminaltons wll be remedied. A (XJn$ultatp?n was launched by the govemm6nt on 16 July 2020. and
closed to responses on 11 octC￿ 2020.
The TPS is subjectto a cost cap mechanism whiGhwas put in placélo protecttaxpayets against unfmseen
changes in schèm8 costs. The Chiefsecretary totheTreasury. hamng in 2018 announced thattherewould
be a review of thks eost cap mechanism. in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mKhanism
follLiwing the Court of Apwl's ruling in the McClou¢￿sargeant case and LAntil there is certainty about the
value of pensions to empbyeas from April 2015 orwlards. The pause was lifted in July 2020 and the
govemment is preparing to C1Knp￿te the cost control element of the 2016 valuations, yth￿h is expected to
be wmpleted in 2021.
In wew of tha abové rulings and d&ision$ the a￿UM￿￿)nS used in the 31 March 2016 Aduarial Valuation
may become inappropriate. In this scenario: a valuation prepargj in accordance with revised benefts and
suitabty rewsed assumptions WOU￿ yield different resutts than thos8 cijntained in the Acbjarial Valuation.
UTrtil the consultation and the cost w machanism rewieN are completed Tt is not possible to conclude on
any financial impact or fvture thanges lo the contllbut.on Tates of the TPS. Accowdingly no provision for
any additional past benefft pension crtsts KS included in these financial statements.

The Trusteg commissions an aciuarial valuat]on of the Pian everythreo years. The purpose of the actuarial
valuation is to dete￿ll1ne the fundirrfJ posib.on of the Plan by comparing the assets with the past service
liabilities as at the fdluation date. Asset values are calcuLated by reference to marf(et ￿Ve[S. Aecrn￿ past

The rulos of the Pl￿ give tha Trusts& th8 power to requir& employers to pay additional contributions in
order lo ensure that the statutory fijnding obj'ective under the Pensions Act 2004 is met The statutory
funding objective is that a pension sch8me st￿ul￿ have sufficient assets to me* its past semce liabilities,

The latest formal valualK*n of the Plan at 30 Seplember2017 was performed by a professionally qualffied

£794.9 million and the Plan's T￿nICal PrOvisK￿S {i.e. past ser￿￿ [￿bilitIeS) were £926.4 million. The
valualion therefore revealed 8 shortfaH of assets ccmpared with the value of liabilrti8s of £131.5 miNion,
equivalent to a funding level of 83%.
