perfomance of the Company.

In setting objectives and planning, th8 Govèmors give carefitl ¢onsider*ion lo the Charity Commission,
guidance on public benefit.
The Company is a charity which seeks lo bènèfit the public through the pursuit of its slated aims. Fees are set at
a level to ensure the financial viability of the School and al a level that is consislent with Counal's aim of
providing a first-class education for Ihtr S¢hool'$ pupils. In setting the fees the Govemors take into account future
plans for the School, th6 cuirenl economic dimale and the ability of parents lo meet their finanaal commitments.

The School does not have endowrnents and in funding bursary awards Governois are mindlul that a balance
must be struck be￿een fee-paying parents, many of whom make eon51der8ble personal sacrifices lo fund their
children's education, and those benefiting from the awards. The Governors seek lo maximi5e the number of
bursaries awarded each year whilst remaining within the constraints both of the foregoing and being able lo
idenb'ty suitable benefKiaties.
Social Investments

Hamilton Academy have the use of the School's swimming pool complex when not in use by the School. The
neighbourhood watch and local residents, association both use the School's premises on a regular basi5 al no
charge. The School continues to c￿operate with the local fire brigade by each year allowing a fire drill to be
carfied out by the fire brigade in one of the boarding housès.

Prlncipal Risks and Uncèrtainties and Risk Mana9•m•nt
The impacl of the COVID pandemic has started lo ease but there remains economic uncertainty, both domestic
8nd internationally due lo th8 consequences of the pandemic and with additional new challenges resulting from
Ihe war in Ukraine and significant increases in the cost of living. The School is sens11ive lo how this may affect
our parents and seeks to provide appropriate support in these circumStan￿s, where possiblè. The Governors
also continue lo monitor the economic and political situation from a widèr perspeclNe to ensure that the School
responds lo challengès when they arise and that it remains financially viable.
Fluctuations in pupil numkrs will always be a rnajor risk to any school. p8rttcularly when there is a change in
teadership ol the School. In the circumstances. pupil numbers have held up well and there are waitir)g lists in
some classes, bul the Governors and senior managemènt are aware that thi5 situation can change quickly.
P8rti¢ulafly in the current econtsmic situation and therefore ctsntinue to explore new opportunities for pupil
recruitment. In order to miluale the risk of reduced School ioll. the School continues lo investigate and take
advantage tsf rental opportunities for thè School's faalilie5, with ¢onsFderation given lo the need to safeguard
both the pupils and the School's assets. The Govemors and seni()r management constantly strive to improve
performance and ts¢ilities and with our five-year rolling development plan. continuing lo plan the lu¢urÈ path of
the School.
Health and safety is always a significant area for risk management. The risks range from those relating 10 filè
and infrastruclure lo personal risks, most notably when away from School on trips and expedilions. The risks
aS50Clated with all activrties are minimised by thorough planning and risk assessments. The School has an
annu81 heahh and safety audit carried out by the School's independent expert acwmpanied by a Governor
responsible for reporting lo the Board on health and safety matters. Also, an annual fire risk assessment is
carried out by the School's professional fire advisers.
CoL*ncil keeps the School's adivilies under review and monitor5 risks that arise from lime lo fyme. The key
controls include..
fomial agendas for all Counal and sub-COmTnittee meetings.,
comprehensive slialegic planning. budgeling and management accounting."
an established organisational structure and lines of ièporting.,
lomal written policies., and
vetting procedures for the piote¢tion of children.
In addrtion, the Govèmors can establish additional sub-committee5 to de81 w*th specific risks 8s they arise.
Through the risk management processes and controls established for the S¢hool. the Govemors are satisfied
that all major risks identified have been adequately rnanagèd. It is recognised, however, that such pro￿sseS and
controls can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately
mitigated.

Future Plans
The main focus for the future continues to be the règulai rewew and updating of Council's 51ralegic plan lo
determine the Schoofs futu￿ requirements for both edu¢allon and boarding and therefore a plan for the School
estate to ensure all elements of it are fully utilised.
Thè plan also covers the School'5 IT provision. The School coped well with the demands placed on its IT
infrastiuctuie and ¢8pability during the COVID pandemic. particularly the delivery ol virtual schooling during
periods of School full or partial closure. re5ulling in more integration ol IT on a day-to-day basis into the
dassroom. Accordingly. the Governors recognise Ihe importance ol keeping the School's IT provision up-to-date
and fil lor purpose, and that further investment could enhance both the qualty and progressFve naturè of the
School'5 education provision in all respects.
Review of A¢hlèv•monts and P•rforman¢* for th• Year
The School has had another very successful yeai. Pupil numbers were 450 compared with 440 the year before,
which given the uncertainly ￿ated by the economic srtualion and the changes in the School's leadership team,
was very encouraging. Thèr& ar& wailing lists for a number of classes and intere51 at open days was very strong.
25 scholarships, awards and distln¢tions were offered lo pupils for their next schools and the School is again
pleased to note that every pupil went to the school of their choice.
Once again, the èfforts of all the staff across the School has been well received by the parents and the
Governors iernain very grateful for their dedicatiori and commitment.
Due to thè uncertainty created by the current economic climate and in particular the significant increases in
energy Costs. Coun￿1 remained cautious when detemiining capital expenditure plans. Major projects started or
complètéd during the year were the relurbishment of the kitchen and dining facilities and reS￿rf3¢1ng of the
Louard netball and tennis courts. Addilionalty. the boarding houses benefited from the start ol a refurbishment
plan and improvement in the facilities for the boarders.
Further funds were used to improve the overall
appearance of the School and signage.
The wider investment plan for the futvre is being kept under review and decisions will bè made dependent on
needs and the financAal strength of the School.
Financial review
Results for Ihe year
The net income lor the year was £207,051 comparèd with £63,407 in the previous year. In the first full year sin
the beginning ol the COVID pandemic unaffected by school closures. the School has recorded increased income
and has been able lo reduce pandèmic-relaled ¢osls. These improvements have. however. been tempered by a
very significant increase in the piice paid lor the School's energy usage. The School's cash position continued to
be strong with cash generation from operation5 of £900.619 12021.. £666.5581 and year-end cash balances
impromng to £2,879,01812021 £2.141.1851. This reflects the increased net income and prudent management of
capital project expendrture.
Thè erèation of Cash surpluses from operating actiwlies are an essential part of the long-term plans for the
improvement of the School lo ensure it rernains the school of first ch0￿e in the area. A school of this age will
a￿ayS require continuing Maintenan￿ (o meel the demands of modern technology and sociéty. and this
represents a signifficanl element of School expenditure.

Extent to whlch the audit was ¢orEsidèred capable of detécting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularitiés. induding Ifaud, are instances of non-complian¢e wrth laws and regulations. We design pr￿dur&S in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Coun￿1.5 website, to delect material
misstatements In respect of irregularities. In¢luding fraud.
We obtain and update our understanding tsf thè entity, ils a¢livilies. its control environment, and likely future
developments. including in rèlation to the legal and iegulatory framework applicable and how the entty Is complying
th that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of malerial misstatement of the
finallcial stalements. whether due to fraud or eiror. design and perform audit procedures responsive lo those risks,
and obtain audit evidence that 15 suffiaent and appropriate to provide a b8$1$ lor our opinion. This includes
consideration ol the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and règulations, including fiaud.
In response lo thè risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and Tegulations. induding fraud, we designed
procedures which included..
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and
claims as well as a¢tual, suspected and alleged fraud.,
Reviewing rninule5 Of mèètings of those charged with governance.,
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a dired material
effect on the financial stslements or the operations tsf the ents'ty through enquiry and inspection..
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and lesling to supporting documentation to assess compliance
wrth applicable laws and regulations.,
Perfotrning 3kJdit work over the ri$k of management bias and override of controls, including lesling of
journal entrie5 and other adjustments Iof appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant
transactions outside the nomial couise of business and reviewing accounting e51imales for indicators ol
potential bias_
Because of the inherent limitab"on$ of an audil, there is a risk thal we will not delect all irregularities. including those
leading to a material rnisslalement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk
increases the more that complianoe with a law or regulation Is removed frorn the events and transactions reflectèd
in the finan¢i81 statements, as we will b& less likely to becofflè aware of instan￿S of non-eompliance. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as Iraud may
involve collusion. ftsrgery, intentional omissions. misiepresenlalions, or the override of internal ¢ontrol.

THE GODSTOWE PREPARATORY SCHOOL COMPANY LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022
21 Pension commitments
The School partiapates in the Teachers, Pension Scheme C'the TPS'I for 115 lea¢hing staff and conlribules lo
defined contribution schemes for certain employees, including 8 stakeholder pension s¢hem8.
The pension cost charge represents contributions payable to the TPS and defined contribution schemes and
amounted lo £526,793 12021.. £534,794) for the TPS and £70.252 12021." £66,428} for defined contribution
schemes. Al the yeai-end £74.43412021'. £72.8891 was accrued in respect of contributions to the schemès.
The TPS is an unfunded multi-employer defined benefits ￿nSIOn scheme governed by the Teachers,
Pensions Schème Regulations 2014 las amendedl. Members contribute on a "pay as you go" basis with
contributions from members and the employei being credited lo the Exchequer. Retirement and othèr pension
benefts are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.
Thè employer contribution rate is set by the Secretary of State following scheme valuations undertaken by the
Govemment Actuary's Department. The most recent actuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as at 31
March 2016 and the valuation report. which was published in March 2019, confirmed an employer contribution
rate for the TPS of 23.6°k from 1 September 2019. Ernployers are also required to pay a scheme
administration le￿ of 0.08%. giwng a totsl employer contribution ralts of 23.68¥..
The 31 March 2016 valuation report was prepared in accordance with the benefits set out in the s¢hÈme
regulations and under the approach specified in the Directions, as they applied at 5 March 2019. Howevèr.
the assumptions were considered and set by the Department for Education prior lo the ruling in the 'MoCloudl
Sargeanl case,. This case required the courts to consider Casès regarding the impl8mentalion of ihe 2015
Teform5 to Public Service Pensions induding Teachers, Pensions.
On 27 June 2019, the Supreme Court denied the government pemiission to appeal the Court of Appears
iudgernenl that Irxnsitional provisions Introduced to the reformed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to
unlawful age discnmination. The government Is respecting the Court's dècision and ha5 said il will engage
fully with the Employment Tribunal as well a5 employer and member rèpresentatives lo agree how the
disuiminations will be remedied.
The TPS is subject to a cost Cap mechanism which wa5 Put in place to protect taxpayers against unforeseen
changes in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 8nnounced that there would
be a review ol this cost cap mech8nism, in January 2019 anntsunced a pause lo the cost cap mechanisrn
following the Court of Appeal's ruling In thè Mccloudlsargeanl case and until there is certainly about the value
of pensions lo employees from April 2015 onwards.
In view of the above rulings and decisions, the assumptions used in the 31 March 2016 actu8ri81 valuatKJn
may become inappropriate. In this scenario. 8 v8luation prepared in amrdance wilh revised benefits and
suitably revised assumptions would yield different results than those contained in that actuarial valuation.
Until a rèmedy to the discrimination conclusion has been determined by the Ernployment Tribunal, il is not
possible lo Conclude on any financial impact or future changes to the conlributit)n rates of the TPS.
Accordingly. no provision lor any additional pasl benefit pension costs is induded in these financial
statements.
