THE COOPERS, COMPANY AND COBORN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
GOVERNORS REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Objectives and activities
The governing document of the Foundation is a scheme made by the Secretary of State for Education and
Science under se￿lOn 18 of the Charities Act 1960. The Scheme sets out the main objectives of the Foundation.
However, Clause 18 of the Scheme was repla￿d under a Modification by the Secretary of State for Education in
March 2011. The main objectives are to pay such sums as the Governors deem fit to meet the cost of any
extraordinary repairs, additions or improvements to the premises of the School and to provide assistance to
students and ex-students of the School who are under 25 years of age, through the provision of scholarships or
bursaries or other financial assistance. The School became a mixed Academy on 1st April 2011 with 1360
students,. the bursaries are primarily to assist with the costs arising from extra-curricular activities for students or
for degree or post degree projects for former students up to the age of 25. In this way, the Foundats'on fully
complies with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit gjidan
published by the Commission.
The Foundation Governors signed a "Supplemental Agreement" with the Secretsry of State for Education and the
Governing Body of the Coopers, Company and Coborn School agreeing to the use of the Foundation's land and
buildings by the new Academy with effect from 1st April 2011. The Agreement may be terminated by the
Foundation with notice of not less than two years.
Each year, the Charity aims to support any capital projects agreed with the School and provide funding for
bursaries and grants. This is achieved through income from Coopers Coborn All Weather Pitch Ltd {CCAWP}, the
Foundation's Investment portfolio and income from investment in property.
Bursaries and grants are administered by the Bursaries Committee from funds allocated by the Goveming Body.
Achlevements and performance
During the financial year, the Foundation supported the school with funding for a number of premises related
items including WC refurbishment, electrical testing and remedial work, emergency lighting, fire alwm
maintenance work and fire safety equipment, repairs to the 6th form roof, IT equipment and RA4C related costs.
The funding for these items totalled £119k
In addition to helping fund financially disadvantaged students through the Headteacher's Fund of £25k,
Governors agreed to continue funding student extra-curricular activities with an additional £25k. Governors
increased their support of counselling for students at a cost of £15k in view of the increased demarKJ for this
service by students.
The amount given as awards and prizes by the Foundation to students and ex-students of the School during the
year was £27k {2023 £27kJ. The new bursary form meant an increased number of applications for bursaries.
Govemors were pleased to increase the funding acrosss a wider range of interests, although the majority of
bursary requests remain related to sport and music. There has been a further increase in the number of bursary
applications in summer 2024. The much publicised issue of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete IRAAC) in
schools and other public buildings continued to affect the school during this financial year. Due to the ongoing
moratorium on building worklrefurbishment at the school, this has meanl that only essential repairs and
maintenance work can be carried out. There has therefore been reduced premises related spending by the
Foundation on supporting the school in this area. The community use of the School and its premises Ips
continued post completion of the RAAC remedial work. This is the usual way the school, and thus the
Foundation, wdens its provision to its neighbourhood at large as well as to the students who attend and benefit
from its charitable work. The Foundation transferred all income from letting the school facilities annually to the
School from 1 April 2015.

Plans for Future Perlods
The Foundation is aware that the RAAC issue will continue to have an impact on building projects at Ihe school.
no￿lthStanding that the urgent remedial work has now been completed and the school is fully operational. Due
to the RAAC situation, the school has been unable to submit CIF applications for 24125 and beyond and the
Foundation has therefore not been required to assist with funding for this. 11 stands ready to consider the funding
of any additional urgent works in order that the School Can continue to function normally. The school has been
recently been accepted onto the Department for Education's School Rebuilding Programme and the Foundation
is keen to support the school with any additional items and advisory support it may need during this lengthy
process
The Foundation's policy for investment is to place its funds in secure holdings which will produce a sufficient yield
to finance the objectives of the Foundation and ensure that the Foundation's asset base is adequate for use by
fulure generations. To this end, the Foundation's investment portfolio is placed in the hands of a professional
fund manager. No particular instructions have been issued to the fund manager regarding social, environmental
or ethical considerations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE COOPERS. COMPANY AND COBORN EDUCATIONAL
FOUNDATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Coopers, Company and Cobom Educational Foundation (the
'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet

the financial stalements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in 8ccordance with the ethical

that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Concluslons relatlng to golng concgrn
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Governors use of the going concern basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financial statem8nts 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 charity's ability to continue as a going
concern for a period of at least ￿e1ve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

obtained in the course of 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 this gives rise to a
material misstatement in the financial statements themselves 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.

THE COOPERS. COMPANY AND COBORN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE COOPERS, COMPANY AND COBORN EDUCATIONAL
FOUNDATION
Responslbllltles of Governors
As explained more fully in the statement of Govemors responsibilities, the Governors are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such
internal control as the Governors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are
free from material misstatement, whelher due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial slatements, the Governors
are responsible for assessing the charity'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 Governors either intend to
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Audltor's r8sponslbllltles for the audlt of the flnanclal statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the
Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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.
A further description of our responsibillties is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. https.'Il
www.frc.org uklauditorsresponsibilities, This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Extent to whlch the audlt was consldered capablo of detectlng Irregularltlos, Includlng fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council's website, to detect material
misstatements in respect of irregularities. includin9 fraud.
We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future
developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying
wilh that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perfonn audit procedures responsive lo Ihose risks,
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes
consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed
procedures which included.
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and
claims as well as actual, suspected and alleged fraud.,
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.,
Assessing the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material
effect on the financial statements or the operations ofthe entity through enquiry and inspection.,
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess complian
with applicable laws and regulations-
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of
journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant
transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of
potential bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, induding those
leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk
increases the more that compliance 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 noTrcompliance. The risk of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations. or the override of internal control.
