The Council aims to have a breadth of experience and skills amongst its members, ensuring that it has knowledge and expertise to work with the Headmaster and his staff to govern the school effectively. The Council Members contribute skills in the following key areas; educational and, in particular, boarding school experience and pastoral care, safeguarding, sustainability, health and safety, financial, legal, personnel, marketing, social media, development, fundraising and commercial. Where a Council Member with a particular skill resigns or retires, the Council actively tries to recruit a member with similar skills.
-
All prospective Council members are met by the Chairman, a panel of Governors and the Headmaster to ensure they are suitable and committed to serving the School, prior to their appointment. The Chairman subsequently meets all new Council Members to brief them on their duties and responsibilities.

Council is supported by five Governor-led sub-committees: Finance; Human Resources (HR); Education; Marketing, Admissions and Development; Buildings and Estate. These sub-committees usually meet three times a year or as required. Furthermore, Governors periodically attend other internal meetings such as the Safeguarding, Boarding and Health & Safety committees.
-
The Headmaster, Bursar and the HR Manager also meet regularly with the Chairman.

Delivery of the School's charitable vision and purpose is primarily dependent on the expertise and energy of our key management personnel. Staff costs are the largest single element of our charitable expenditure.
RE-ELECTION OF COUNCIL MEMBERS
- In accordance with the provisions of the Trust's Articles of Association, there were no changes of Council's membership considered to serve an additional term as Governor, at the Annual General Meeting.

-
b. We promote the vision of our founder, J. Heald Jenkins, who believed decency, tolerance and humanity would enable each boy to 'shine their light on the world'. Today, his vision remains relevant and a source of inspiration.
-
c. Each boy's character and personality is developed by fostering an ability to communicate and work well with others. They are equipped with a flair for solving problems and are encouraged to think imaginatively.

GOALS
-
Mindful of its object, mission, vision and aims, the School aspires to achieve the following seven goals:
-
a. All leavers at 13 are offered a place at one of the UK's top senior schools.
-
b. Within its current footprint, to achieve a consistent level of pupil numbers.
-
c. To generate an annual operating surplus of 8% or greater.
-
d. To build and maintain an appropriately sized reserve within the unrestricted account fund.
-
e. Year-on-year have an increasingly positive relationship with parents (prospective, current and past), alumni and senior schools.
-

-
j. Year on year develop further the relationships with local state schools and community.
-
k. Year on year reduce Caldicott's contribution to climate change, excessive resource consumption, waste and pollution.
APPROACH
-
18.The boys start as day pupils until their final two years when they all become boarders. A small number of boys commence boarding in their fourth or third to last years at the school. Most of these boarders go home on a Saturday night and there is a small group that is cared for by our pastoral team at weekends.
-
The School expects high academic standards and the team of excellent and nurturing staff seeks to develop happy and well-rounded boys who will grow up to be confident individuals who can learn to think for themselves and become achievers and contributors in life.
-
Team sport is a vital part of an education at Caldicott with the lessons learnt from winning and losing a central part of school life. The boys enjoy a broad cultural experience, all of them participating in music, art, drama and design technology, which are all thriving at the School. Our numerous productions and performances provide the boys with opportunities to display their talents and develop self-confidence.
-
Chapel is central to the moral and spiritual life of the School. Caldicott is Christian based but inclusive, welcoming and respectful. The boys are encouraged to develop a social conscience as well as a sense of duty. Caldicott boys should leave the School with strong moral values, high standards of behaviour, consideration and tolerance for others, and an understanding of their challenges and responsibilities.
-
We promote healthy eating and the enjoyment of food with friends. Our boys enjoy a healthy lifestyle spending lots of time outside playing together in the fresh air so that they are ready to concentrate on their work in the classroom.
-
We feel that our strong sense of community, with high achieving and happy boys and a down to earth approach will instil strong moral values for life into the boys.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
Approach
- The School seeks to develop its pupils' academically and socially in order to prepare them to take an active role in society, making a positive contribution in whatever sphere they occupy. Whilst the highest possible academic attainment for each pupil is centrally important it is but part of the wider education learned through active participation in sport, the arts, adventurous pursuits, social interaction with others and charitable endeavours. And so, considerable attention and focus is given to the development of good manners, social responsibility and consideration for others.
Impact of the Pandemic
- The Coronavirus Pandemic impacted the delivery ofCaldicott's schooling for a second academic year. Alongside all other schools in the UK, Caldicott was subject to a second period of national lockdown from January 2021 through most of the 2021 Spring Term. The educational and support programmes were largely delivered online as was the case during the previous year's Summer Term lockdown. Although the challenges of delivering an academic, extra-curricular, pastoral and social programme were considerable, this second period of Virtual Caldicott (VC) was built upon the experiences of VCl and was highly regarded. Only a very limited number of boys remained at home and followed the VC syllabus online. Government directed hygiene, social distancing and bubble arrangements limited what could be delivered. Home-based schooling did not prevent Year 8 boys completing their scholarship and entrance exams for public (secondary) schools, the results of which are set out below.
Scholarships and Exhibitions
-
The following scholarships and exhibitions were awarded to Caldicott pupils during the academic year 2020/21:
-
Three academic Scholarships to Harrow School
-
Academic Scholarship to Radley College Academic Scholarship to Tonbridge School
-
Music Scholarship to Radley College
-
Roxburgh Award to Stowe School
-
Sports Scholarship to Harrow
-
Sports Scholarship to Sedbergh
-
Sports Scholarship to Winchester College
-
Music Exhibition to Abingdon School
Leavers Destinations in July 2021
- The 6[th ] Form boys leaving Caldicott in July 2021 are destined to attend the following Public (Secondary) Schools starting in September 2021: 10 to Harrow School, 7 to Eton College, 6 to Stowe School, 4 each to Charterhouse, Radley College, Wellington College and Winchester College, 3 to Marlborough College, 2 each to Abingdon School, Oundle School and St Edward's Oxford, and one each to Frensham Heights School, Kingham Hill School, Latymer Upper School, Ratamar in Spain, Sedbergh School, Tonbridge School and Wetherby Senior School. Every single leaver was placed successfully at their preferred next school and a 100% pass rate for Common Entrance Exams was recorded.
CALDICOTT FOUNDATION
- The Caldicott Foundation has been established in year with the twin aim of supporting the School's provision of bursaries and developing its infrastructure. The Foundation has received funds donated for one or other of these objectives. Within this financial year £809,485 has been donated to the School as restricted funds specifically to meet these two objectives of the Caldicott Foundation. Two full bursaries have been supported by The Council's aim, as soon as it can do so, is for the Foundation to fully support all bursary and sponsorship provision and to fully separate this from income received from fee payments and other sources.

PUBLIC BENEFIT
-
The Governors have complied with the duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Commission. The Council's strategic aim to reach its annual objective for the public benefit as a charitable Independent School is the attainment of the highest possible academic levels consistent with our wider-access admissions policy for helping boys from lower income or otherwise disadvantaged families to benefit from our fee-based schooling, whilst allowing all pupils to benefit from our extensive extra-curricular programme. It seeks to enable local State Schools and a wide range of charitable and other organisations, with priority given to those from the locality, to use or benefit from Caldicott's extensive facilities and resources. And the School seeks to promote awareness of and support for a wide range of charitable causes to enhance the boys' sense of social responsibility. Notwithstanding restrictions placed because of the pandemic, examples of the public benefits offered by Caldicott this year included:
-
a. The provision of means-tested bursaries and other discounts - the value of means tested bursaries and other discounts totalled £133k(2019/20: £234k). They assisted 20 of our pupils of which 2 pupils benefitted from a full remission of fees. The Governors view our bursary awards as important in helping to ensure children from families who would otherwise not be able to afford the fees can access the education we offer. Our bursary awards are available to all who meet our general entry requirements and are made solely based on parental means or to relieve hardship where a pupil's education and prospects would otherwise be at risk for example in the case of redundancy.
-
b. Arbour Vale, Dropmore Infant, Beaconsfield High, Beaconsfield Secondary, Farnham Common Infant & Farnham Common Junior Schools - use of facilities to hold Parent Teacher Association and other fundraising events, use of vehicles and equipment, conduct pupil visits to the School for concerts and lessons, provision of staff and transport to support school trips and outings and sponsorship of end of year leavers books and provision of staff to provide expert advice such as from our Human Resources Manager.
-
c. Freemantle Trust Care Home - regular pen-pal correspondence links with a view, pandemic permitting, to host visits by the pupils during term time and special tea-time event at School for residents.
-
d. Burnham and Slough Rotary Clubs - use of facilities to hold fundraising events.
-
e. St John's, Farnham and Hedgerley Churches - use of facilities to hold concerts, religious and fundraising events.
-
f. Hedgerley Scouts & Beavers - use of Performing Arts Centre to hold fundraising events.
-
g. Burnham Joggers Running Club - use of facilities and grounds for annual 1Ok and 5k races, the usually annual half marathon race, involving more than 1,000 runners, being postponed this year.
-
h. Slough Philharmonic Orchestra - use of Perforn1ing Arts Centre to host publicly accessible concerts.
-
Charitable Fundraising - The Dusty Yak Foundation was the pupil's selected main charity for the year. Despite limitations imposed by the pandemic, and several event cancellations, other charities were also supported which included: Acting for Others, Action Village India, Caldicott Foundation, Cancer Research UK, Comic Relief, Home Start, Marine Conservation Society, National Autistic Society, One Tin, React, Ruth Strauss Foundation, Save the Children, Slough Food Bank, Slough Homeless Our Concern, Sparrow Schools, and Wycombe Homeless Connection. In all over £36,904.90 was raised for these initiatives over the year.

TEACHING LINKS
-
The Governors and Headmaster intend to extend our links and exchanges with the state sector and our already strong links with Arbour Vale School. We continue to work closely with the Heads and key staff members from the schools we partner, ensuring the positive contribution to our shared educational aims continues.
-
It is important that access to the education we offer is not restricted to those who can afford our fees. We believe our pupils benefit from learning within a diverse community. A great deal oflearning occurs through social interaction and shared experiences which helps our pupils develop an understanding of the perspectives of other people that will be vital in their adult lives.
FUNDRAISING DISCLOSURES
-
In accordance with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales regarding CC20 [Charity fundraising: a guide to trustee duties (CC20) issued November 2016] the following details should be noted concerning Caldicott Trust's approach to ensure its compliance with these standards:
-
a. Fundraising activity. No fundraising has been conducted in year by any professional fundraisers and commercial participators on behalf of Caldicott. Some fundraising has been achieved by parent-initiated donations to the newly established Caldicott Foundation whose twin purpose is to provide bursaries for pupils who otherwise could not attend the school and, separately, to provide for future building projects to enhance and modernise the school's facilities. Additionally, modest voluntary fundraising has been completed this year by the staff and pupils, always for the benefit of other pre-declared charities, and is summarised in the final bullet at Paragraph 29 above. Fund-raising by staff and pupils that does not benefit Caldicott is overseen by a Charity Committee, chaired by a designated staff lead and is answerable to the Deputy Head (Pastoral). The 'Friends of Caldicott' is a group within the Caldicott Trust that consists of volunteers found from the parents of pupils attending the school. The 'Friends' organise a series of voluntary attendance events usually at the School through the year to raise funds for the benefit of the Trust and other pre-declared charities.
-
b. Fundraising approach. The Governors, as Charity trustees, are mindful of the legal requirements set out in the Charities Acts 1992 and 2011 for all its fundraising activities. Fundraising either is designed to raise funds for specified projects which materially benefit the Trust and support the achievement of its objects or seeks to benefit other charities to engage the pupils in supporting worthy causes, itself generating an educational and personal development benefit for those engaged in the fundraising activity . The overall approach followed by Caldicott's trustees, its Governors, in overseeing all fundraising activity at or benefitting the Trust is shaped by the CC20 fundraising guidance. The Governors seek to apply CC20's six key fundraising principles for trustees: plan effectively, supervise fundraisers, ensure compliance with fundraising law, protect the charity's reputation and assets, follow recognised standards and, finally, be open and accountable. Any fundraising undertaken for the benefit of the Trust, or indeed any other charity, is conducted using either its own staff and pupils or other volunteers, most commonly the 'Friends of Caldicott' and parents of pupils.
-
c. Fundraising standards. Caldicott seeks to apply the fundraising standards and scheme for fundraising regulation set out by the Charity Commission within the Charities Acts 1992 and 2011. Neither the Trust nor any person acting on its behalf has voluntarily subscribed to any other additional fundraising standards within the 2020/21 financial year.
-
d. Compliance with standards. To the best of its knowledge neither the Trust nor any person acting on its behalf has failed to comply with the requirements set out in the Charities Acts 1992 and 2011.
8
CALDICOTT TRUST LIMITED
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS (continued)
YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
-
e. Complaints. There have been no complaints received by Caldicott, or by a person acting on its behalf for the purposes of fundraising, about fundraising activity undertaken during the 2020/21 financial year.
-
f. Protecting vulnerable people. In order to ensure adequate protection of both vulnerable people and other members of the public from fundraising behaviour which is an unreasonable intrusion on a person's privacy, is unreasonably persistent or which places undue pressure on a person to give money or other property it has ensured that no fundraising activities whatsoever have been conducted on its behalf outside of the immediate Caldicott community. Additionally, Caldicott has continued to comply with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) law, enforced since 25 May 2018. This has helped to reinforce procedures which limit the use of personal data held by the School thereby further protecting the interests of vulnerable people and other members of the public who are known to it.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
- Unrestricted income increased in-year to £6,650,854 (2020 £6,627,727) with Restricted income totalling £717,745 (2020: £24,394). Restricted funds came from donations gifted to the Caldicott Foundation to support its twin purposes of enhancing bursaries and Masterplanning and new building projects. Fee income has decreased by £571 (0.01%) from 2020 with expenditure decreasing by 2.95% to £5,855,101 resulting in a net movement in funds from a deficit of £205,265 to a surplus of £716,476. The reduction in fee income was generated for the most part by a decision made deliberately by Council immediately prior to the 2021 Spring Term, to reduce that term's fees mindful of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and the requirement for a second time to close physical attendance at the school in line with Government directives. Although some operating costs could be reduced, and 70 support staff members placed again onto furlough as part of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, the provision of lowered fees meant that the termly fee income was reduced. During the year there were fixed asset additions of £433,427 (2020: £325,389).
RESERVES POLICY
-
The Unrestricted School Fund represents the unrestricted funds arising from past operating results.
-
The Charity's reserves policy is to generate a 5 -10% cash surplus of unrestricted funds to meet the budgeted future capital expenditure requirements of the school. This policy remains in force and has been unaffected by the COVID-19 crisis.
-
The free reserves (being unrestricted funds less tangible fixed assets) at year end were in deficit of £931,942 (2020: deficit of £850,986).
-
At 31 July 2021, the charity had total reserves of £7,368,597 (2020: £6,652,121). Of these funds some £6,650,852 were unrestricted and £717,745 were restricted at the year end. The restricted funds were held within the recently formed Caldicott Foundation sub-account, whose dual purpose is to enhance the School's capacity to provide financial support to boys requiring bursary support and to funds donated for the purposes of specified infrastructure projects. A total of £809,485 has been donated to the School within the financial year as restricted funds specifically to meet these two objectives of the Caldicott Foundation. The Council's aim, as soon as it can do so, is for the Foundation to fully support all bursary and sponsorship provision and to fully separate this from income received from fee payments and other sources.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
-
The Council continues to keep the Trust's activities under review, particularly with regard to any major risks that may arise from time to time, and to monitor the effectiveness of the system of internal controls and other viable means, including insurance cover where appropriate, by which those risks already identified can best be mitigated. Council is responsible for the management of all risks faced by the School, and a formal review of the Charity's risk management processes is undertaken on an annual basis.
-
Coronavirus Pandemic. The most significant strategic risk during this financial period has been the impact on all aspects of the school's life and function of the Coronavirus pandemic. For much of the Spring Term the school has delivered its syllabus and a wide range of supporting activities on-line, the whole school physically returning only for part of the Summer Term, increasing stakeholder confidence and engagement thereby. Mindful that a full schooling experience was not being delivered in all respects, Council determined that the Spring Term's fees be reduced commensurately, thereby depleting the School's end-of-year operating surplus. As was the case during the last financial year, the risk centres on the enduring nature and impact of the pandemic, disruption to fee-payers earning capacity, and the nature of limitations placed by the pandemic on schooling and pupil numbers. We manage this risk through the careful application of COVID-19 related Government guidance for schools, strict hygiene, cleaning and social distancing regimes, a rigorously applied positive case management system supporting the Government's own Test and Trace system, preparation of a well-tested virtually delivered syllabus where this is required, affordable fees, strict spending controls, and careful and timely communications with all stakeholders.
-
Other main risks. In addition to the risk associated with the coronavirus pandemic, the Governors have identified three other main and enduring risks and developed plans to manage these:
-
a. Economic uncertainty caused by Brexit - risking a reduction in the number of pupils able to start or continue at Caldicott.
- We manage this risk through the continued pursuit of excellence across the school's key outputs, targeted marketing, competitive pricing and containment of cost growth.
-
b. The loss of charitable status for privately provided education - risking the loss of non-domestic rate relief, VAT exemption on School fees and other benefits associated with being a charitable educational trust.
- We manage this risk by maintaining fees and other charges at competitive levels, careful financial planning, and the containment of capital works and all other cost growth to sustainable levels.
-
c. Incident on school trip - risking injury to pupil or staff member and reputational damage to the School. We manage this risk by ensuring appropriate health & safety training, policies and other measures are in place, conducting rigorous bespoke pre-trip risk assessments, supervising activities appropriately and communicating effectively with all trip attendees and, when necessary, other agencies.
-
Through the risk management processes established for the Schoo\, the Governors are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately mitigated.
FUTURE PLANS
- The Governors have endorsed a strategic plan with its three-year horizon, which has been informed both by a comprehensive market survey and ideas provided by the headmaster and his senior leadership team. They seek to maintain the School's position in a competitive market by investing to provide high quality education for our pupils. Achieving a high standard of academic results is a constant aim whilst also maintaining the breadth, depth and quality of the extracurricular education provided. The impact of and lessons drawn from the ongoing pandemic have reinforced the requirement for and objectives set by this strategic plan, mindful
10
CALDICOTT TRUST LIMITED
REPORT OF THE COUNCIL MEMBERS (continued)

of increased economic uncertainties and evolving parental aspirations.
-
The Headmaster and senior staff continue to review the curriculum to ensure its relevance and focus. They seek also to maintain amongst the staff an appropriately broad spread of educational and other skills and qualifications to enable our pupils' development.
-
The School has continued to refurbish and improve its teaching, sports, recreational and boardi11g,:(acili(ies, financed from operating surpluses. Plans to deliver a phased programme of more ambitious new builds and other developments are now being considered, whose timescale and range will be tempered though not substantially altered by the pandemic or Brexit. As an early step in delivering improved infrastructure, underpinned by increasable generous donor support, during this year the former outdoor swimming pool has been enclosed to enable all year-round swimming to be offered.
-
The School has enhanced and will continue to monitor bursaries and look for opportunities to increase the level of means-tested bursaries, funded increasingly by its newly launched Caldicott Foundation and the generosity of donors. It will continue to offer fee remissions of up to 100% and other support to suitable candidates whilst investigating opportunities with senior schools to ensure pupils who receive substantial means-tested bursaries at Caldicott can continue in independent education thereafter.

Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Council Members' 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 charitable company's ability to continue as a 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 Council Members with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The Council Members are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Council Members. 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 express 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 is 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 material misstatement of the other information. a If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions 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 Council Members (which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the directors' report included within the Report of the Council Members has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF
CALDICOTT TRUST LIMITED
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Council Members (which incorporates the directors' 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 charitable company; or
-
the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Council Members' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Council Members for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Council Members' responsibilities statement (set out on page 11), the Council Members (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the fmancial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Council Members 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 Council Members are responsible for assessing the charitable company's 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 Council Members either intend to liquidate the 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 are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) 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 responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements 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 charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliances with laws and regulations related to the regulatory requirements of the Charity Commission, the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISi) and the statutory safeguarding and child protection guidance issued by the Department for Education (DfE), and we considered the extent to which noncompliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011, Charities SORP (2019), Companies Act 2006 and payroll taxes.
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 risk was related to the recognition of voluntary income. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:
Enquiries of management regarding correspondence with regulators and tax authorities;
Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of noncompliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
Reviewing the controls and procedures of the charity, particularly in relation to the recording of income and processing of payments and payroll, to ensure these were in place throughout the year, including during the Covid-19 remote working period;
Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;
14

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2020) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic oflreland (FRS 102).
The accounts are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting.
Having reviewed the funding facilities available to the School together with the expected ongoing demand for places and the School's future projected cash flows, the Management and Council Members have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertainties over the School's financial viability. Demand for places by new pupils starting in September 2021 remains strong leading to an expectation that pupil numbers will likely closely match the current year's figures. Mindful that staff costs are the single largest element of the School's operating costs, plans are being developed to ensure these costs remain proportionate to pupils. All other operating costs remain tightly controlled and discretionary expenditure continuing to be constrained proportionately. Accordingly, Management and Council Members continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
The School is a Public Benefit Entity registered as a charity in England and Wales and a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 7 August 1968 (company number: 0936838) and registered as a charity on 8 July 1969 (charity number: 310631).
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the accounting policies, Council Members are required to make judgement, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered.to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future periods.
In the view of the Council, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to School's financial statements.
Fees and similar earned income
Fees receivable and charges for services and use of the premises, less any allowances, scholarships, bursaries granted by the School against those fees.
Investment income
Investment income from dividends, bank balances and fixed interest securities are accounted for on an accruals basis.
Donations, legacies, grants and other voluntary income
Voluntary income is income accounted for as and when entitlement arises, the amount can be reliably quantified and the economic benefit to the School is considered probable. Voluntary income for the School's general purposes is accounted for as unrestricted and is credited to the School Fund. Where the donor or an appeal has imposed trust law restrictions, voluntary income is credited to the relevant restricted fund.
20
CALDICOTT TRUST LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) Income
Government grant income paid under the CJRS has been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which the underlying furloughed staff costs relate to.
Expenditure
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable. Expenditure attributable to more than one cost category in the Statement of Financial Activities is apportioned to them on the basis of the estimated amount attributable to each activity in the year, either by reference to staff time or the use made of the underlying assets, as appropriate. Irrecoverable VAT is included with the item of expenditure to which it relates.
Governance costs comprise the costs of running the charity, including strategic planning for its future development, external audit, any legal advice for the School's Council Members, and all the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements, such as the costs of Council and Committee meetings and of preparing statutory accounts and satisfying public accountability.
Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets costing more than £50 are capitalised. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of all relevant tangible fixed assets less estimated residual value based on current market prices and their expected useful economic lives as follows:
| Furniture, fixtures and fittings | 10% - 25% reducing balance |
|---|---|
| Garden and playing fields equipment | 10% reducing balance |
| Freehold buildings | 2% of cost per annum |
| Long leasehold buildings | 2% of cost per annum |
| Motor vehicles | 20% reducing balance |
| Computer equipment | 33.3% reducing balance |
| Other equipment | 20% reducing balance |
Fund accounting
The charitable trust funds of the School are accounted for as unrestricted or restricted income in accordance with the terms of trust imposed by the donors or any appeal to which they may have responded.
Unrestricted income belongs to the School's corporate reserves, spendable at the discretion of the Council Members either to further the School's Objects or to benefit the School itself. Where the Council Members decide to set aside any part of these funds to be used in future for some specific purpose, this is accounted for by transfer to the appropriate designated fund.
Restricted funds represent amounts donated to the School for specific purposes.
Pension costs
Retirement benefits to employees of the School are provided through two pension schemes. The pension costs charged in the Statement of Financial Activities are determined as follows:
- (a) The Teachers' Pension Scheme - The School exited this defined benefit pension scheme on 31 December 2020. All affected staff have moved to a defined contribution scheme.
21
CALDICOTT TRUST LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
- (b) Other pension costs charged in the accounts for defined contribution schemes represent the contributions payable by the School during the year.
Operating leases
Rentals under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term, even if the payments are not made on such a basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are similarly spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Financial instruments
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost value. Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with trade and other debtors. A specific provision is made for debts for which recoverability is in doubt. Cash at bank and in hand is defined as all cash held in instant access bank accounts and used as working capital. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise all creditors except social security and other taxes and provisions.
Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the School has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Employee benefits
Short term benefits
Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.
Employee termination benefits
Termination benefits are accounted for on an accruals basis and in line with FRS 102.
