It is recognised, however, that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been appropriately managed. Millfield has identified seven key strategic ri5k5 as follows.. l. Government policy The introduction of VAT on school fees and educational supplies from January 2025 and the anticipated removal of business rates relief for the independent sector will result in an increase in fees by 15% from the beginning of the Spring Term 2025. This is likely to influence the demand for place5, and therefore on the charity's income. Millfield is mitigating this risk through.. honest communication with parents,. rigorous short- and medium-term planning, based on closer scrutiny of indicators as likely pupil numbers Isuch as attendance at open day5 and registrations across the year groups),. regular review of its reserves policy,. regular structural and cost base review,. arranging a revolving credit facility and management of debtors. 20 20

REPORT OF THE GOVERNING BODY for the year ended 31 August 2024 Risk Management (Continued) 2. Inflation and financlal viability There is an increasing inflationary pressure on the operational running costs of the School, including staffing, facilities and utilities. Millfield balances the investment it makes in its staff and facilities with its funding, the key source of which is fee income. To ensure all its commitments are met, Millfield has robust management processes. These include forecasting pupil numbers, detailed budgeting and cash flow projections which are prepared by the Executive Group and subject to detailed scrutiny by Governors. Progress against this plon is monitored continually by the Executive Group and termly by Governors. 3. Affordability Millfield operates in a very competitive market and is conscious that the cost of private education is increasingly beyond the financial means of many families. In addition, affordability of fees and therefore pupil numbers could be affected by macro-economic factors. Recognising this, Millfield retains its focus on achieving value for money in every area of its operations and is committed to building funds to safeguard its scholarship and bursary support for families who otherwise would not be able to access a Millfield education. 4. Safety and security of puplls, staff and premises Millfield aims to provide a safe and secure environment. To do this it has in place detailed policies and procedures, including in the areas of safeguarding children, anti-bullying, health and safety, physical security, cyber-security, wellbeing, data protection and critical incident management. These are regularly reviewed by Governors. Staff and pupils are provided with detailed trainin& as appropriate, to ensure these policies are adhered to across Millfield. 5. Recruitment and retention of key staff Millfield relies on its ability to recruit and retain high quality staff to carry out its charitable activities and achieve its objertives. In order to achieve this Millfield provide5 a comprehensive range of financial and non-financial benefits to Staff, including competitive salaries, fee concessions, staff housing, training and development opportunities, use of school facilities and a wellbeing programme. 6. Effectiveness of governance The Governors recognise that strong governance is essential to Millfield's success. In order to ensure that governance is effective Millfield recruits Governors based upon a skills matrix and comprehensive induction and refresher training is provided to Governors. Committee structures are in place supported by clear terms of reference. Governors actively monitor implementation of policies and compliance within the School. A biennial process of self-evaluation is undertaken by the Board of Governors. 7. Cyber-security & Al In common with other schools, individuals at Millfield are the target of multiple phishing attacks and the risk of a co-ordinated wider attack on the school system is considered to be significant. The School is engaged with an external cyber security company which conducts regular testing and learning5 from the results determine actions to address vulnerabilities and training requirements. Artificial intelligence is proving to be a threat at all levels of society and Millfield has a number of workstreams underway to establish the potential impacts for the School, including research on use of Al in the classroom to enhance teaching and learning and the potential risks and benefits of ChatGPT on current education practice, including the ethical use of Al in assessments. 21 21

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTTOTHE MEMBERS OF MILLFIELO for the year ended 31 August 2024 Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Millfield for the year ended 31 August 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Group and Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, inc14Jding a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting frarnework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Fint7nciol Reporting Standard opplicoble in the UK ond Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

We are independent of the 8roup in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to golng concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial Statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant Sections of this report. Other inforrnatlon The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Report of the Governing Body. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and. except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not expres5 any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information 15 materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial Statements or a material misstatement of the other information.

We have nothing to report in this regard. 23 23

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTTO THE MEMBERS OF MILLFIELD for the year ended 31 August 2024 Opinlons on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. the information given in the Report of the Governing Body Iwhich includes the strategic report and the directors. report prepared for the purposes of company lawl for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements,. and the strategic report and the director5, report included within the Report of the Governing Body have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are requlred to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit. we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Governing Body (which incorporates the strategic report and the director5. report). We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company- or the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns,. or certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made,. or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit Responsibillties of trustees for the financial statements As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement set out on page 22, the trustees Iwho are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied thJt they give a trije 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 preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and the parent charitable company'5 ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole afe free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is 3 high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilitie5, Outlined above. to detect material mi5Statements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to The Education Ilndependent School Standardsl 2014, safeguarding regulations, health and safety laws, GDPR, employment law, chaflty law and company law and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a materi31 effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the ?4 24

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MILLFIELD for the year ended 31 August 2024 preparation of the financial statements such as Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011, and considered other factor5 such as p3yroll taxes and VAT. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial Statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to improper recognition of revenue and management bias in accounting estimates and judgements. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included.. Inspectin8 correspondence with regulators and tax authorities; Discussions with management including consideration of known or Suspected instances of non- compliance with laws and regulation and fraud,. Evaluatirig management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities,. Identifying and testing a selection of journals,. and Challenging assumptions and judgements 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 leoding to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliante with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial Statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

The School is considered to be a Public Benefit Entity under FRS102. The accounts are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accountin8. Monetary amounts in these accounts are rounded to the nearest £'OOO except where otherwise indicated. bl Basis of con501idotlon The group consolidates on a line by line basis the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertakings made up to 31 August 2024.

In considering whether the going concern basis is appropriate, the Governors have considered surplus and cash-flow projections prepared for the period to 31 August 2026. These projections indicate that the School will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and together with current arrangements with the School's bankers and other lender5, forecast that the School will be able to operate within the facilities currently available. In light of the above the Governor5 have concluded that it 15 appropriate to use the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements. dl Fund Accountinq Unrestricted fund5 are expendable at the discretion of the Governors in furtherance of the object5 or administration of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds, which are earmarked for particular purposes by the Governors. The restricted funds comprise donation5 earmarked by the donor5, or the terms of an appeal, for specific purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charge to the specific fund.

Donation5 Donations receivable for the general purpose of the School are credited to unrestricted funds. Donations for purpose5 restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to restricted fund5 where these wishes are legally bindin8 on the Governors. All donations are recognised when the economic benefit is considered probable and can be measured feliably. g) Expenditure Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable. Expenditure is allocated to expense headings on a direct cost ba51S, Wlth staff costs being allocated 3ccordin8 to the estimated time spent by staff working in relevant departments. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included within the item of expense to which it relate5. hl Operating le05es Costs in respect of operating leases are charged on a stf3ight-line basis over the lease term. i) Stocks Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less cost to complete and Sell.

At each reporting date the School assesses whether stocks are impaired or if an impairment loss recognised in prior periods has reversed. Any excess of the carrying amount of stock over its estimated selling price less Costs to £ornplete and sell, is recognised as an impairment in profit or loss. Revers31 of impairment losses are also recogni5ed in profit or loss. Il Investments The School ha5 elected to hold investments in subsidiary undertakings at cost less impairment. Interests in subsidiaries are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. Any impairment losses or reversal of impairment losses are recognised immediately in the SOFA. Fixed assets investment5 in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are initially measured at cost and subsequently at fair value at the reporting date. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and reported within the Statement of Financial Activities. k) Cosh ot bank and in hand Cash at bank and in hand include5 cash and short-term high liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the dep051t or similar account. l) Tongiblefixed a55ets Expenditure on fixed assets is capitalised except for expenditure incurred on the replacement of a55ets of low value with a short life. Subsequent costs of repair, renovation and replacement expenditure are written off as incurred in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities I'SOFA"), unless it is probable that such costs will generate future economic benefits. The cost of fixed assets is their purchase cost, together Wlth any incidental costs of acquisition.

Any shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed a55ets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairment losses. ml Toxation The Company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly. the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within c3tegorie5 covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. n) Finonclol Instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument, and are offset only when the group has a legal enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise and settle the liability simultaneously. Finonciol ossets Trade, group and other debtors lincluding accrued income) which are receivable within one year and which do not constitute a financing transaction are initially measured at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, being the transaction price less any amount5 settled and any impairments10sses. Financial lit7bilities Financial instruments are classified as liabilities according to the substance Of the contractual arrangements entered into.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 August 2024 scheme is accounted for as a defined benefit scheme, with the annually calculated notional surplus or deficit on the funding of the Scheme shown in the financial statements. The Millfield School Work Save Pension Plan is a defined contribution scheme administered by Legal & General Investment Management I"LGIM"l. Following consultation with the teaching staff, Millfield school left the Teachers, Pension Scheme la defined benefit scheme) on 31 August 2021. Teachers were enrolled into the Millfield School Pension Plan on I September 2021 alongside other staff already in that plan. Defined contribution plans For defined contribution schemes the amount charged to expenditure is the contributions payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments. Defined benefit plons For defined benefit plans, the cost of providing benefits is determined using the projected unit credit method. Scheme Liability or Surplus Any net liability represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation minus the fair value of the plan assets, of which obligations are to be settled. The rate used to discount the benefit obligations to their present value is based on market yields for high quality corporate bonds with terms and currencies consistent with those of the benefit obligations. Where the scheme is determined to be in a surplus position, a surplus is recognised as an asset only to the extent that this can be recovered in future years through reductions in employer contributions or through a specific refund/reimbursement from the scheme. Goins or105ses Gains or losses recognised in the Statement of financial activities.. The change in the net defined benefit liability arising from employee service during the year 15 recognised as an employee cost. The cost of plan introductions. benefit changes, settlements and curtailments are recogni5ed as incurred. Net interest on the net defined liability comprises the interest cost on the defined benefit obligatio and interest income on the plan assets, calculated by multiplying the fair value of the plan assets at the beginning of the period by the rate used to discount the benefit obligations. Actuarial gains 8nd losses are differences between the interest income on the plan assets and the actual return on the plan assets p} Crltical accountlng estimates ond areas ofiudgement Estimate5 and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The group makes estimates and assumption5 concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and a55umptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilitie5 Wlthin the next financial year are discussed below: In valuing the deficit on the School's defined benefit pension scheme judgements need to be made by management as to what are the most appropriate assumptions to use in the valuation.

Final Salary Scheme {Millfield Retirement Benefit Scheme-"MRBS"> For some of its support staff, the School operates a funded final Salary scheme, whose assets are held in separate trustee-admini5tered fund5. From I September 2005, the final salary scheme was closed to new members. On 31 December 2014, after consultation with the Trustee5 and active members, the Scheme was closed to future accrual and galary linkage. Qualifying new staff are automatically enrolled into a defined contribution scheme with contribution rates equivalent to the minimum rates set out by the Government in respect of auto enrolment schemes. The final salary scheme 15 subject to triennial valuations by independent artLsarie5, the last full actuarial valuation was carried out a5 at 31 August 2022, using the Defined Accrued 8enefit Method. At the valuation, the market value of the a55ets held was £14,354,000 and this value wa5 sufficient to cover 88% of the benefits accrued to members after allowing for expected future increases in earnings, giving a shortfall of £1,924,000 as at 31 August 2022 A new Schedule of Contributions was 3Éreed on 12 August 2024. Under this arrangement the school settled all remaining deficit payment under the Schedule of Contributions by making an additional "one- off" contribution of £2,277,900. Per the FR5102 report the scheme is now in a surplus position. This surplus has not been reco8nised as Millfield is unlikely to be able to recover this via reduced future contributions or refunds from the plan, as all contribLJtions have now been paid. Furthermore, the actuarial valuation was brought forward to 31 August 2024. Per the draft report the scheme 15 predicted to have a small surplus of circa £37k. The school will continue to pay any insurance premiums, PPF levies and any costs relating to managing the scheme separately when due, except for investment management expenses. The Scheme's next triennial valuation is 31 August 2027. These financial statements reflect the requirements of FRS 102.
