ST ALBANS SCHOOL- WOOLLAM TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
The Trustee of the Charity presents the annual report under the Charities Act 2011 together with the
audited accounts for the financial year ended 31 August 2025.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Charitable Objectives
The objects of the Charity, as set out in the Charity Comrnission Scheme, are:
111 the provision and maintenance of playing fields and other recreational facilities for the pupils
attending St Albans School.,
121 the maintenance and support of St Albans School,. and
131 the promotion of education of the pupils attending the St Albans School in such ways a5 the
trustee thinks fit.
Aims and Intended Impact
Within these objects, rhe Trustee aims to support the objerts of the School through the provision of
playing fields and indoor sports facilities in sufficient number and of a suitable standard so that a healthy
and wholehearted interest in sporting activities may be encouraged among all pupils and individual
participants may be given every opportunity to develop their personal ability to the best possible level.
The Trust operates a policy of licensing use of the playing surfaces and Sports Centre to St Albans School
on every term time weekday plus Saturdays, between the hours of 8am to 6pm. Use of the facilities often
extends outside of these times, by prior agreement, such as for pre-season training etc.
The Trust's primary aim is to maintain and use the grounds for the benefit of St Albans School and its
pupils, in furtherance of it5 objects. In order to support this (but without intruding on the School's usel.
it makes such commercial use of the grounds as it can at both premium and more local commercial rates.
In order to ensure the grounds are suitable for use by the School and to maximise their commercial
potential when not being so used, the grounds are maintained at a high standard.
Where excess capacity beyond that needed by pupils exists, such as periods outside of term time, in the
evenings or on Sundays. the Trust may let the playing facilities to other organisations. It does this in one
of two ways'.-
First, and wherever possible, facilities that are not required by the pupils are let at a premium
market rate and, so as to enable this use to be made las well as to benefit the Trust's own
beneficiaries), the facilities are maintained at a high standard.
Secondly, where there 15 no realistlc Possibility of making excess capacity available to the
premium market, the Trust lets out the facilities to community groups which have a sympathetic
ethos to that of the Trust at a lower rate, albeit still on a commercial basis (the rate being the best
rate the Trust could realistically charge to such users).
Some 30 acres of the playing fields are sublet to Old Albanian Sports Association IOASAI on a 250-year
lease (granted on fully commercial terms). In accordance with the terms of irs lease, OASA provides
community sports facilities in its own right as well as sub-letting facilities to Saracens plc, a leading Rugby
Union club. While the Trust is not a party to OASA'S sub-letting lother than providing gym facilities
available to Saracens), it welcomes this arrangement as it serves to build a clear relationship between
school sport and national level sport.

ST ALBANS SCHOOL- WOOLLAM TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Objectives for the Year
During the year, the focus has been on the continued maintenance of the playing fields to the highest of
standards consistent with the uses described above, the upkeep of the Trust's properties and land, and
the operation of the Sports Centre on the St Albans School site.
The Trust maintains its facilities to a high standard, commensurate with financial affordability, in order
to prornote sport effectively within St Albans School. This also allows the Trust to provide a safe playing
environment where pitcheg are free from ruts etc. which tnay cauge injury. Thig has allowed St Albans
School to be represented, in several sports, at regional and national level. Details on the School's
achievements in sport can be found in its own Annual Report and Accounts.
In addition, the Trust continues to increase the usage of the grounds, and thereby income, both through
St Albans School and with external users. ￿ noted below, several key relationships are now in place
whereby local and regional sport is supported through charitable and commercial use of the grounds.
Strategies to achieve the years objectives
These were:_
to maintain and improve on the Trust's successful grounds maintenance support for the playing
fields,
to improve the provision and facilities within the Pavilion itself,. and
to rnaintain and operate the Sports Centre, which offers a swimming pool, sports hall, climbing
wall and dance studio as well as a fitness suite and teaching facilities.
These were offered for use by St Albans School and the wider community through partnership with key
sports clubs.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Operational performance of the Trust
The Woollam playing fields continue to provide first class facilities forthe School, with extensive use being
made during term time.
The Trust continues to work with the Old Albanian Sports Club in maintaining playing surfaces and
expanding their usage. Maintenance of the whole site continues to be undertaken by the Woollam Trust
to provide playing surfaces up to regional standard. Saracens, the premiership rugby union club, use5
Woollam5 as their main training facility, leasing pitches and facilities from Old Albanians and the Trust.
This partnership provides a unique combination of school and local sides, national level and premiership
level rugby on one site.
The Woollam Playing Fields continue to provide an important venue for the national as well as the local
community. Over recent years, users, principally of school age, include:_
Saracens training camps, covering ages 6-16.,
Hertfordshire rugby sevens finals..
Old Albanians Rugby, including their minis and juniors. with some 400-500 under-18 rugby
players on site on Sundays,.
Old Albanian cricket, with their junior teams using the facilities frequently over the period,.
Harpenden Hockey, including both juniors and seniors, male and female,.
County and District Cricket, including the ECB junior Cricket Final5',
Harpenden Lacrosse..
Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue for their football matches..

ST ALBANS SCHOOL- WOOLLAM TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Cricket academies for children 7-16,.
Charity bicycle rides-,
District, County and Regional Rugby a5 well as Football and Cross-country of all Levels.. and
Woollams and Cheapside Farm are used as a Cross country course at both local and National
level events.
Woollams continues to be seen as a centre of excellence for grounds maintenance and was the venue
for a groundsmen's conference in 2023.
The Pavilion itself continues to be used for purposes which include'.-
Harpenden School of Dance-,
hirings for meetings and conferences..
charity dinners and fundraising functions-,
the Duke of Edinburgh awards scheme., and
the School's annual business conference.
The Pavilion has been extensively refurbished over the last few year5, including refitting the kitchen and
the installation of a café, the refurbishment of toilets and showering facilities and lin summer 20241 a
major refurbishment to the décor and flooring in the main reception rooms.
The Sports Centre is considered one of the best venues for sporting events in the area. The School has
almost exclusive use of the facilities from 8am until 6pm but the venue has been able to attract local
sporting clubs, host sporting events and training camps. The pool also hosts weekly visits from local
primary schools as part of the Partnership programme. Local sports clubs regularly use the facilities in
the early morning and evenings, while more than 200 local residents, who pay a small contribution, use
the pool, gym facilities and fitne5S Sulte, and attend yoga classes. All external use of the facilities is
managed in the context of the School's primary responsibilities for safeguarding pupils, such that mixed
schoollexternal use is not usually feasible. Abbey Gateway Enterprises Limited licences and runs the
Sports Centre out of school hours.
The sports hall has also been a significant asset allowing the get up for the exam periods during the
summer when the School's sporting activities are predominately outside. This has not only centralised
exam venues but has also created a much quieter, comfortsble environment for students to sit their
exams.
Other areas of the Sports Centre like the Fitness Suite have been very popular with students. The modern,
controllable environments have not only helped to improve the fitness levels of students but seen a
much larger number of female students using the facilities during games, lunchtimes and afterschool.
The climbing wall is used extensively by the school for PE lessons. D of E, Games and after school clubs.
This has been very popular with students that are unlikely to play mainstream sports, thus widening
acces5.
The Sports Centre has become a training course hub with lifeguard courses and first aid courses being
delivered to students and external partners every year. The Trusvs staff are qualified as First Aid at Work
instructors, meaning that key emergency first aid, First Aid at Work and AED courses are delivered onsire
to staff, meaning that more staff are trained at much lower cost.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025
Community and Public Benefit
The Trust chiefly provides public benefit through the provision and maintenance of playing fields and
other recreational facilities for pupils of the School.
The Trust's facilities are an important part of the delivery of the School's partnership programme. More
detail on the School's partnership programme, and the other community projects, can be found above
and on the Schools Together website and in the School'g Report and Accounts.
The extensive use of the facilities by community and amateur bodies other than St Alban5 School is noted
above in Operational Performance. This programme conrinues to expand with a vigorous programme
of tournaments using the facilities. Those groups who do not fall within the scope of the Trust's objects
are charged a commercial rate for their use of the facilities.
The Trustee confirms that it has had regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission under
section 4 of the Charities Act 201 I when reviewing the charitys aims and objectives and in planning
future activities.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025 are part of this report. The Trust's Net
Movement in Funds was a Surplus of £84,91312024 £142,8831.
The principal funding source of the Charity is the licence fee received for the School's use of the facilities
through Abbey Gateway Enterprises Limited.
Reserve5 Policy
The total funds of the Trust as at 31 August 2025 amounted to £12.407.47312024 £12,322.5601 of which
£376,44412024 £374,464) were endowed funds which are permanent funds for the provision of freehold
land for school playing fields. The unrestricted funds include a designated fund which represents the
cost of the construction of the Sports Centre less accumulated depreciation and amounted to £5.222,019
12024 £5,363,150) at the year end.
It is the Trustee's policy to maintain adequate reserves to enable the Trust to meet unforeseen costs in
respect of maintenance of the Trust land and buildings. The level of reserves is monitored and reviewed
annually by the Trustee. Free reserves which are the general funds of the Trust excluding the tangible
fixed assets at the year-end amounted to £2,210,30412024 - £1,866,152). There are no material funds
that are restricted or otherwise committed at the end of the reporting period.
The Trustees consider this level of reserves to be adequate and therefore have a reasonable expectation
that the charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future
and believe that there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the ability to continue as a going
concern. The accounts have therefore been prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern.

Trustee. Under the terms of the Scheme, the Trustee is able to use the powers provided by it5
Memorandum and Articles of Association, which permit the funds to be invested in trust for the Charity.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF ST ALBANS SCHOOL WOOLLAM
TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of St Albans School Woollam Trust for the year ended 31
August 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow
Statement and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The
financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United
Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting
Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Pratticel.
In our opinion the financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitls affairs as at 31 August 2025 and of its incoming
resources and application of resources for the year then ended-,
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Prattice.. and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUKI IISAS IUKII and
applicable law. Our regpongibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditorfg
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the
charity 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 trustees, use of the going concern bas15
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 charitys ability ro
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 trustees with respect to going concern are described
in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The Trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information
included in the Report of the Trustee, other than the financial statements and our auditorfs report
thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements doe5 not cover the other information and, except to
the extent othemise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion
thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other
information 15 materially incon51Stent with the financial statements or our knowledge 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 fatt.
io

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF ST ALBANS SCHOOL WOOLLAM
TRUST
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matter5 on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts
and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion..
the information given in the Report of the Trustee is inconsistent in any material respect with the
financial statements,. or
the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records,. or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns,. or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustee
As explained more fully in the Trustee's Responsibilities Statement set out on page 8, the Trustee is
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 Trustee determines 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 Trustee is responsible for assessing the charitys 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 Trustee either intends to liquidate the charity or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under the Charitie5 Act 2011 and report in accordance with
regulations made under that Act.
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 auditors, 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 IUKI will always detect a material mi55tatement 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 mi5Statements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which
these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below.
Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities..
We assessed the sU5ceptibility of the charity5 financial statements to material misstatement and how
fraud might occur, including through digcussions with the representative of the Trustee, disiussiong
within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these
controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent
manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in
the context of the charity by discussions with trustees and updating our understanding of the sector in
which the charity operate5.
li

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF ST ALBANS SCHOOL WOOLLAM
TRUST
Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the charity include the Charities Act 2011,
the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission
for England and Wales.
Audit response to risks identified..
We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures
on the related financial statement items including a review of financial statement disclosures. We
reviewed the charitys records of breaches of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and
correspondence with relevant authorities to identify potential material misstatements arising. We
discussed the charitys policies and procedures for compliance with law5 and regulations with members
of management responsible for compliance.
During the planning meeting with the audit team. the engagement partner drew attention to the key
areas which might involve non-compliance with laws and regularions or fraud. We enquired of
management whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or
knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through
management override of controls by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any
significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed
whether judgements made in making accounting estimate5 gave rise to a possible indication of
management bias. At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partneffs review included
ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus
the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-
cornpliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions refletted in the financial
statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material
rnisstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or throLJgh
collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council'5 website at:
www.frc.or
.uklauditorsres
onsibilities. This description forms part of our auditols report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitys Trustee, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to
the Trustee thoge matterg we are required to state to the Trustee in an auditorfg report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone
other than the charity and the Trustee as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinion5

Golng concern

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the accounting policies. The Trustee is 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 result5 may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumption5 are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revi5iOnS to accounting estimate5
are recogni5ed in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revi5i0n affects only that period, or in the
period of the revisic>n and future periods if the revision affected current and future periods.
In the view of the Trustee, no a55umption5 concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting a55ets or
liabilities at the balance Sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts In the
next financial year.
