Al Ihe end of Ihe year, Ihe funds held by the Foundation were accrued wrthin Ihe School accounts within restricted funds. Our principal source of funding is through luilion fees. Pupil numbers for 2022-23 have increased on Ihe prior year to an average 1,144 excluding nursery and the Lodge. The effort put into marketing, maintaining links with our feeder schools, maintaining a broad curriculum, provision of opportunity for personal development, logether with our academic resulls, has helped lo keep demand for places high, including maintaining heatthy numbers in the Sixth Fomi. The main KPIS used are the level of operating surplus and Ihe percentage Ihal Ihe operaling surplus is of the net fee income. The operating surplus for the year was £1.266.360 (2022.. £700,803}. This represents 6.6010 of net fee income12022.' 4.2010). The level of fees in advance has decreased in 2022-23 and is reviewed regularly al Governors, Committee meetings alongside other aspects of the financial management of the School.

RESERVES POLICY Notes 15, 16 and 17 to the financial statements show the assets and liabilitses attributable lo the various types of funds and summarise the movements in the year. At 31 August 2023 the Group had unrestricted funds of £8.877.260 (2022.. £9.071.207}. Taking into account the operational fixed assets (net of related loans) of £14.233.161 the school has negative free reserves of £5,355,902. The Govefflors regard the reserves position as appropriate for the School's current operation. given the investment in fixed assets such as Anglesea Heights. the Music School and the sports facilities at ISSC Rushmere. As at 31 August 2023, the School had Restricled reserves of £2.943.13312022.' £2.563.5551 and Endowment reserves of £762,971 12022.. £764.586). The Governors believe that the School is able lo operate wrth low or negative free resetves and wish lo continue improving the facilities of the School through accumulating operating cash surpluses. In assessing the viability of the School's financial plans and strategies the Governors consider more appropriate indicators such as cash flow and working caprtal requirements and the impact on operating surpluses. The Governors are satisfied with the financial posrtion of the School. This policy will be monrtored by the School's Govemors, Commrttee and reviewed 8nnu81ty. In particular the policy will be r&evaluated if additional free rese￿e5 become available. The Governors aim to reinvest any cash surpluses achieved into extending and improving the facilities and qualty of education offered by the School. enhancing the fabric of the School and widening access to an IpSW￿h School education for lower income families. INVESTMENT POLICY The Trustee's iTrvestment powers are governed by the Trustee Act 2000. The vast majority of fixed asset investments are held in C.O.l.F income and accumulation units. These provide adequate income for the reslricled and endowed funds whilst remaining low-risk inveslmenls. GRANT-MAKING POLICY Note 8 to the financial statements shows the amount of scholarships and bursaries awarded from the unreslricled and restricted funds of the School. The Governors, poliry is to award these on the basis of educational and related abilty, in the case of scholarships, or in the case of the bursaries, on the basis of financial need. Scholarships are designed to attract pupils of high academic abilty to the School, bursaries are aimed at broadening the School's intake by allowing access to those who would benefrt from an Ipswich School education but would nol otherwise be able lo afford the fees. The School has in recent years increased the level of funding for the means-lesled bursaries il offers.11 is understood that the provision of means-tested awards contributes lo public benefit provided by the School.

Prior to the signing of these financial statemenls, tl was announced by Ihe new Labour Government, on 29th July 2024, to introduce VAT on Independent School fees from January 2025. This has significant 16

implications for independent schools across Ihe country and Ipswich School is no exceplion.
