Princlpal rlsks and uncertainties
The principal and uncertainties to the continuad success of the school are assessed as..
Reputational risk- Ihe principal risk is a current or historic safeguarding failure leading to a loss or

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF SHIPLAKE COURT UMrrED (coKfiNUED)
In preparing the financial slalemenls. the trustees are re5pon5ible for assessing the group's or the charitabl8
company's abili(y lo continue as a going concern, disck)sing. as applicable, rnatters reL7led lo going concern
and using the going con￿rn basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to IKiuidate the chaif(ab18
company or to cease operalicffis, or have no reaistic altemalive but lo do so.
Audltorfs r8sponslbllltles forthe audll of the flnanclal 8Lthments
Our obl￿tiveS are lo obtain rea$￿able assurarKe ab0Ut￿etherthe financial statements as a whob are free
from malarial misstatèm8nl, wh8thar du& to ftaud or errol. and to issue an auditor's report that includes Dur
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high ￿Ve1 of assur8nee, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will a￿ayS detect a materia misslal8m8nt when il 8XlSts. Mi8slatemenls can arise
from fraud or error arKI are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected lo Influen￿ the economic decisions of users taken on thè basis of Ihgse financial stat8m8nls.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slatements is I￿ted on the Financial
Reporting Council'5 website at.. w￿.frc.O[

nsibilrties. This description forms part of our
audftorf$ reF<Jrt.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non•￿MpI￿nce wrth laws and r￿U[al￿)n6. We idenlrfÈd and
assessed the risks of material misststement of the financial statements from irregularities. whether due to
fraud or error, and discussed these between our audrt team members. We then designed and perform8d audlc
procedures responsive lo th05é risks, includiThJ i)btaining audit ewdence sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworf(s within which the Char((ab￿ company
operates, focusing on those laws and regulalv)n5 that have a direct effect on the determination of material
amounts and disdosures in the financial staternents. The laws and regulations we considered in this context
were the Companies Act 2006, Charities Ael together wtlh the Charities SORP IFRS 1021. We assessed the
required Compliance with these laws and regutath?ns as part of our audit procedures on the relal8d financial
statement items.
In addit￿n, we conS￿ered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have 8 direct effect on the
financial statements bul Compliance h￿th whKh might be fundamental to the charitable compantys ability to
operate or lo avoid a material penalty. We aLso considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist
within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulalBJns we considered in this wntext were Th9
Education Ilndependenl School Standards) Regulations 2014, Heatth and Safety. General Data Protection
Regulations, Safeguarding and Food Standards. Audrting standard5 limrf( the reqUI￿d audit procedures to
identify non-compliance wlh these laws and regulations to enquiry of the G¢)vemors and other management
and inspeclK>n of regulatory and correspondence. rf any
The greatest risk of material impad on thg financial statements is from iryegularities, including fraud, lo bè
within the timing of recognf(ion of non fee income. and the override of controls by management. Our audit
procedures to respond to thesè risks included enquiries of management, arKI the Finance and G8n8ral
Purposes Committee about their own identifution and assessment ofthe risks of irregularities. sample testing
on the posting of journals, sample lesling on non-fae income, reV￿WIng accounting eslimat8s for biases,
reviewing regulatory correspondence wrth the Charity Commission. Independent Schools Inspectorate, Ofsled
and reading Minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance.
Owing lo the inherent limitations of an audff(. there is an unavoidable risk that we may ngt have detected some
rnalerial misslalemenls in the financial statements, even though we have property pLgnn8d and parfomied our
audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the fvrthet removed non-compliance with laws and
regulations lirregularilies} is fr(¥n the events and transacb.ons refthted In the financial statements. the less
likely the inherenlty limited prccedures required by auditing standards wo¥Jld identify rt. In addili)n, as with any
audit, there remained a higher risk of nOn￿et￿tK)n of irr8gulariii8s, as

these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non­ compliance with all laws and regulations.

Incom6
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial actwities when the Charitab￿ ceqnpany
is legally entitled lo the income, r￿elpt is probabk and the amount can bè quantifEd wlh reasonable
accurxy.
During the year the Charity received £117.325 from the UK Govemmenl under the Coronavirus Job
Retention Scheme. This inccthe has been recognk8ed underthe performance model as pe￿itted by th8
Charity SORP and therefore reccgnised on a straight line basis over the furlough period for èach relevant
emplDyeo.
Fe05 and slmilar income
Fees mceivable and charges for services and use of premises are acwunted for in the period in which
the service ig provided. Fees receivable are state(l after deducting allowanc8s, scholarships aThJ other
iemi5sions granted by the college.
InGom• from pupll extras
Charges are made to pupils lo cover the cost of 'Extras'. In some cases the costs slightly 8xceed the
charges made and in others there is a small surplus remaining. The intention is for pupils to pay for Ih8se
Costs bul not to ¥hieve a profrt on recharging.
h)
Expendlture
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liabillty is considered prob￿￿, d￿counted ID present value for
longer larm Ikabilities.
It is summarised under funct￿nal headings on a dIr￿t cost basiq. Ovethead and other costs not direcuy
attributab￿ lo particular functional ￿t￿llY calegorTres are apportioned over the relevant categories on the
basis of management estimates of the amount attnbutable lo that activty in the yearfy reference lo staff
time. The irrecoverable element of VAT 18 included with the item of expense to which il rolales.
Govgrnance costs comprise the costs of running the charitable company, incIL￿ing strategic planning for
ils fLrture development, extemal audit, any18gal adV￿e for the directors, and all costs of complying with
constrtutl0n￿ and slalutory requirements, such as the costs of Board and Committee moetings and of
preparing slatutory accounts and satisfying pU￿]C accountabilty.
Penslon schemes
The ¢harTtable Gompany conlributes lo the Teachers superannuth.on Scheme al rates set by the scheme
actuary and adwsed lo the board by the scheme adminislralor. The Scheme is a rnulfi-employer pension
scheme and it is not possible to idenlrfy the aSS￿S and IBbiif(ies of the scheme which are attributab￿ lo
the college. In accordance with FRS 102 therefore. the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution
scheme.
The ch8tity Gonlributes to the Pensions Trust Growth Plan for certain of rts employees. This is in most
respects a money purchasg arrangement. bLrt doe5 indude certain guaranteed b8nefrt elements. The
Plan is a mutti•employer sch8me as it is not possible in the ncthal course of events to identify the share
of the tjnderlying assets belonging to the indwidua participating employers and accordingly, in
accordance with FRS102. Is aecounted for as a defined contribution scheme wrf(h ctsntributions being
recorded as they become payable. However. the Schod also makes deficit contributions to the scheme,
in accordance with FRS 102 these payments have been measur&d at fair value and includgd as a liability
on the balance sheet.
The charty also contributed to a Personal Pension Plan until March 2020. The contributions war8
charged lo the Statem8nt of Financial Aclivities in the prevtous financial year.

22. PENSIONS
The School participates in the T8ach&rs' Pension Scheme Iyhe TPS") for fts leaching staff. The pension
charge for the year includes contributions paya1￿¢ to the TPS of £731.067 (2020.. £69Q,524) and at the
year-8nd £nil (2020.. £nFI) was accrued in respect of contr1blrt￿ns to this seheme.
The TPS is an unfunded multiwemployer defined benefrts pènsK)n Sch￿￿9 govemgd by The Teachers,
Pensions Regulations 2010 {as ￿ended) and The Teachers. Pension Scheme Regulations 2014 (as
amended). Membets contribute on a 'pay as you go" basis with ¢ontribLrtions from members and the
employer being credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds
provided by Parfiamant.
The employer contnbulion rate is set by the Secretary of State following seheme valuations undertaken by
th8 Govemmenl ActuarY5 Department. The most recent ￿tUarIal valuation of the TPS was prepared as al
31 March 2016 and the Valuation ReporL whieh was published in Ma￿h 2019, confirmed Ihal the employer
conlfibution rale for the TPS would inuease from 16.40k to 23.60h from 1 September 2019. Employers are
also required to pay a scheme administrab.on le￿ of o.oeyo giving 8 total employer contribution rale of
23.68%.
The 31 Ma￿h 2016 Valuation Reporl was prepared in accordartce wrth the beneffts set out in the scheme
regulations and under the approach specffied in the Directions. as they applied at 5 Marth 2019. However,
the assumptions were consK1eroY and set by the Depattrnent for Education pmr to the ruling in tho
'McCloudlSargeanl case,. This case has raquired the courts lo consKler cases regarding the
implemenlaknon of the 2015 reforms to publ￿ SeNce Pensions including the Teachers, Pensions.
On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied Ihe government permission to apwal the Court of Appeal's
judgment that transitKJnal provisions Intrc¥Juced lo the reformed ￿nsIon schemes in 2015 gave risa to
unlawful age discrimination. The govemmenl 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 govenmnenl announced on 4 February 2021 that it intends lo proceed
with a deferred Choi￿ underpin under which member5 will be ab￿ to chwse erther legacy or refomed
$Ch￿ne benefits in respect of their servre during the perityj between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2022 al
the point they Ixc¥me payable.
The TPS is subjectto a costcap mechanism wh￿h was put in pl￿ to protecttaxpayers against unforese6n
ch8ng8s in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary lo the Treasury. having in 2018 announced that there would
be a review of this cosl cap mechanism, in January 2019 announced a pause lo the cost cap mechanism
fdlowing the Court of Appe￿,$ ruling in the Mccbudlsargeanl case and until there is ￿rtainlY about the
value of pensions lo ￿mploYeeS frtyn April 2015 onwards. The pause was lrfted in July 2020, and a
consultation was launched on 24 June on prcyosed changes to the cost contrrA meohani8m follc)wing a
revièw by the Government Actuary. The consuttation closed to respons& on 19 August 2021 and the
Government is currently analysing the responses.
In vifjw ol the above rulings and decFsions the 8ssumptfr)ns used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuation
may become in¥propriate. In this scenario. a valuatitsn prepared in accordance wlh revised benefits and
suitsbly revis¥J assumptions woukl yield drfTererrt resutts than those contained in the Actuarial Valuation.
Until the cost cap rnechanism r¢view is ccfflpleled it is not possible lo conclude on any financial impact or
fuluie changes lo the contribLrtion rates of the TPS. Aecordingly no prowsion for any additional past b8nefil
pension costs is included in these financial sL*ements.

22. PENSIONS Icontlnuadl
Contributions paid into the Plan up to and including September 2001 were converted to definod amounts
of pension payable from normal retirement dales. From Octob8r 2001, contributions were invested in
personal funds which have a capital guarantee and which are converted to pensTron on retirement, erth8r
wilhin the Plan or by the purchase of an annuity-
The Trustee commissions an actuarial valuation of the Plan every thre6 years. The purpose of the actuarial
valuation is lo d8t8rmine the funding p08ition of the Plan by comparing the assets wrth the past 8ervice
liabilities as at the valuation dale. Asset values are calculal8d by reference lo market levels. Accrued past
service liabilities are val¢Jed by discounting expected future benefrts payrnenls using a discount rale
calculated by reference lo the expectgd fLrturg investrnwt retums.
Th& rulès of the Plan give the Trustee the power lo require employers lo pay a￿dit￿n￿ contribulions in
order to ensur8 that tha statutory funding obj-ective under the Pensions Act 2004 is mel. The stsgtutory
funding objective is that a pension scheme shoukt have suftient assets lo meet its past service liabilities,
known as Technical Provisions.
If the actuarial V￿Uation rgveals 8 deficrt: the Trustee agree a recovery plan to eliminate the deficit over
a sp8cified period of lime either by way of *lditional conlribub'ons frLMn ￿plOyers. investment returns or a
ombination of these.
The latast fomal valuation of the Plan at 30 Sept￿ber 2017 was performed by a profOSSIDnally qualified
Actuary using the Projeclgd Un(( Method. The mart(el value ol the Plan s assets at the valuati¢J) dale was
£794.9 million and the Plan's Technical Provisions li.e. past service liabililiesl were £926.4 million. The
valuation therefore revealed a shorifam of assets compared with the value of liabilities of £131.5 million,
8quivalenl lo a funding level of 83%.
The Schod paid deficrt contributions of £8,937 {2020." £a674 during the year as required by the Trustees
of the Scheme. The unwnding of the discount factor, and th8 impact of changes to assumptions has
resulted in a £155 chafge (2020.. £&J4 chatye) lo the SOFA. and has been included in pension costs for
the year.
Shiplake College Ltd has b*n advlsed by the Plan trustee that, in the event that il was to withdraw its
membership of the Plan, it had an estimated contingent liabilty of £176,139 813D September 2018. This
dèbt will not crystallise whib Shiplake C(Akge Ltd continues to have one or more active memb8rs in the
scheme.
The amount of the above Folential debt depends on many factors including lolal Plan liabilkK*S. Plan
investment performance, the liabilrties in r8spect of current and former employees of Shiplake College Ltd,
finan¢ial condrtions at the lime of the cessation event and the insurance buydout market. The amount8 of
the debt can therefore be volatile over time.
Shiplake College Ltd also paid contributK)ns into a defined contribution scheme with The Pensions Trust
at rates of be￿een 7-100A totalling £125,301 (2020.- £93,440) during the accounting p8riod. Members paid
eonlribulions were paid al the rale of 50A durtng the accounkn.ng period.
Finally, there were eonlributions payable to personal pension schemes of £nil (2020.. £20,494), there
were no outstanding contributions al either year end.
