TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

The Trustees of Langley School present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Company and the Group for the year 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION

Langley School (1960) Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The Charity was founded in 1960 and is registered with the Charity Commission under charity number 311270 and company registration number 00656498. Langley School (1960) Ltd. Trustees and principal addresses of the Charity are listed on page 1. Particulars of the Charity’s professional advisors are also given on page 1.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governors

The Charity is governed by its memorandum and articles of association dated 14 April 1960. In the event of winding up the liability of each member is limited to £1. Details of the members of the governing body of the Charity are shown on page 1.

Organisational management

The Governors, as the trustees of the Charity, are legally responsible for managing and controlling the School. The full board of Governors meets at least once a term, receiving reports and recommendations from subcommittees, which meet with a similar frequency, to determine the general policy for the School and to review its overall management and control.

The day-to-day running of the school is delegated to the Executive team which includes the Head of Senior, the Head of Prep, the Chief Operating Officer and the Finance Director. The Executive Team is supported by the leadership and management teams and staff. The Executive Team undertakes the key leadership roles, overseeing all aspects of running an extensive independent school. The day-to-day administration is undertaken in line with the policies and procedures approved by the Governors. A member of the Executive Team attends all Governors’ and sub-committee meetings.

At the end of this reporting period, Mr David Stanbridge stepped down as Chair of Governors after a busy and challenging tenure guiding the school through significant sector-wide change. He will continue to serve as a trustee, with particular focus on the Prep School. Mr Malcolm Streatfield, a current Governor and alumnus of Langley Senior School, was confidently and unanimously elected as our new Chair.

The committee structure is as follows:

• Senior School Education Committee

• Safeguarding Sub Committee

• Prep School Committee

• Safeguarding Sub Committee

• Resources Committee

• Operations Committee

All committees have agreed terms of reference, set formal agendas and circulate their minutes to the full governing body. The Governor membership of committees is below:

In addition, each committee meets at least three times per year. The Executive Team remuneration is set by the Board, regarding performance, external comparators and benchmarking with similar organisations.

The Governors gave their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the academic year. No Governor or person connected with a Governor received any benefit from means tested bursaries.

The Exec Team’s remuneration is set by the Board, regarding performance, external comparators and benchmarking with similar organisations.

Recruitment, induction and training of Governors

New Governors are appointed at a board meeting and confirmed at the Annual General Meeting. The Board receives suggestions from Governors, school officers, advisors and unsolicited requests. After an initial consideration of suitability, with consideration of the existing board’s known skills and needs, and confirmation of interest and eligibility, a detailed review of suitability is carried out together with an interview before recommendation is made to the board.

The Chair inducts new Governors and explains the Board’s Policies and Procedures. The School is a member of AGBIS (Association of Governing Bodies in Independent Schools) and Governors attend relevant training and refresher courses.

Page 3

(A company limited by guarantee)

LANGLEY SCHOOL (1960) LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

The Board conducts regular audits of the skill sets represented on the Board to ensure that there is a balanced membership with an appropriate range of skills and expertise. AGBIS recommendations are followed where possible in deciding the balance, expertise and number on the governing body.

Other Relationships

The furtherance of educational standards and the quality of pastoral care at the School is sustained and improved through participation in, and subscription to, umbrella organisations such as Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS), The Boarding Schools Association and The Independent School’s Bursars Association (ISBA). The Senior School is also a member of the prestigious HMC, the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference.

The School supports the education of children and young adults in the independent and state sector, at every opportunity. Langley School works with local charities and organisations to widen public access to the education and facilities that it provides to optimise usage. This activity is wide ranging, from hosting sporting events within the grounds of the school to invitations to performances and visiting speakers as well as providing transportation for local cluster schools, organisations and charities as often as we are able. Our pupils give back to the community with our House system supporting their nominated charities.

The Icenian Society (alumni of Langley School, Taverham Hall, Beech Hill, Thorpe House and Langley Prep School) is active and working to engage with the Alumni of the School. Icenians regularly come into the Senior School to spend time with students, giving career advice/guidance and sharing their experiences. This relationship provides enormous value to our pupils and is highly valued.

The Langley Parents Association at the Prep School has helped a number of school departments during the last year and held events which are well attended, working hard to support the Prep School’s funding initiatives which are presented to them at regular meetings.

Risk management

The Governors are responsible for managing the risks Langley School faces. They regularly assess the major risks to which the school is exposed and they are satisfied that systems are in place to manage all identified risks, as far as possible. These risks are documented in a Risk Register reviewed and amended at all board meetings and internal management team meetings, as appropriate.

The Governors view the risks in terms of impact and probability .

The Governors consider the economic and political turbulence of recent years along with the affordability of fees by parents across the independent sector to be a significant risk faced by the School. Whilst the Board has confidence in its present recruitment strategy there is no room for complacency and particular attention is paid to marketing and pupil recruitment in mitigation.

Other key risks include risk to reputation due to adverse publicity, failure to meet the independent school standard regulations, risk of not managing staff (and other costs), and failure to meet the financial requirements for capital expenditure and support of means tested bursaries.

Health and Safety is always a significant area for risk management.

The School’s approach to risk management and internal control may be summarised as follows:

• the Governors have oversight of risk management within the School as a whole;

• the management of risk is a whole School responsibility;

• all parties involved in the process adopt an open and receptive approach to solving risk problems;

• The Exec Team, Senior Leadership Team (SLT) and Senior Management Team (SMT) prepares policies for Governors’ approval and implements such policies approved by them.

Page 4

LANGLEY SCHOOL (1960) LIMITED

(A company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Each member of the Exec/SLT/SMT is responsible for fostering good risk management practice throughout the School and particularly within their area of responsibility.

The Governors will:

• ensure the integration of risk management into the culture of the School;

• take major decisions affecting the School’s risk profile or exposure, determining what types of risk are acceptable and which are not;

• monitor the management of significant risks;

• satisfy itself that less significant risks are being actively managed, with the appropriate controls in place which are working effectively;

• annually review the School’s approach to risk management, considering how effectively or otherwise controls have been implemented, approve changes to this policy and review the Risk Register as at the date of that review;

• delegate to the Resources and Education Committee's the responsibility to review the School’s Risk Register each term and to provide the Governors’ response to residual risk that the Committee does not consider necessary to refer to the Full Board.

The School’s key controls include:

• detailed terms of reference for all Committees;

• formal agendas for all Committee and Board activity;

• written minutes of all Board and Committee meetings;

• established School management structure;

• clear lines of communication with parents;

• formal written policies covering all important activities;

• comprehensive management accounting and reporting;

• strong emphasis placed on recruiting and retaining staff;

• strict vetting procedures with respect to the employment of staff.

It is recognised that systems cannot provide absolute assurance that all possible risks have been identified or managed.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The company is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 14 April 1960 and is a registered charity, number 311270.

In addition to its charitable objectives, the stated purpose of the school is:

• To equip our pupils with the skills and tools they need to journey into the next stages of their lives, actively demonstrating kindness, confidence (with humility), curiosity and integrity.

• To develop happy and resilient young people – adaptable to an ever-changing and demanding world.

• To provide a knowledge and skills rich curriculum with aspirational teaching to nurture enthusiastic and confident learners.

• To nurture and support each and every individual member of our community, focusing on wellbeing and positive mental health.

• To provide an exceptional co-curricular programme to broaden pupils’ experience and opportunity.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Objectives and activities (continued)

The Governors are conscious that they must comply with all aspects of charity legislation and are aware of their new duties arising from the Charities Act 2011. The Governors confirm that, in exercising their powers and duties, they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission as updated in September 2014.

Public Benefit/Charities Commission

This year the value of scholarships, grants, entrance prizes and other awards made to the School’s pupils out of unrestricted funds was £2,349,212 (2024: £2,541,391) and £nil from restricted funds (2024: £nil). Langley School’s policy in line with that of other independent schools is to make these awards on the basis of the individual’s educational potential although awards from any restricted funds are, of course, subject to the conditions applied by the original donor.

The Governors believe the bursaries offered by the charity, including 100% awards, widen public access. This is in addition to the sharing of many of its facilities within the local community. During each year Langley School operates a number of schemes that benefit local state children. For example:

• Masterclasses for pupils.

• The sharing of sports facilities, for example cluster schools’ cross country, hosted at both sites.

• Hosted cluster primary cross-country championships and prep and primary athletics events.

• Invitations to School events, wherever possible.

Many local sports clubs use the school facilities at Loddon and Taverham, benefiting thousands of adults and children across the county focused on a variety of sporting disciplines. These include:

Usage of the School’s extensive facilities by the above clubs/groups took place outside of normal school operating hours.

To further broaden the School’s reach and public benefit the Nelson Scholarship has been developed to offer two fully funded places to attend Langley as a day pupil in the Sixth Form. To give additional benefit to the recipient, local organisation, Nelson’s Spirit, works with the Nelson Scholars to develop their key leadership skills. The first recipient was assessed in line with the School’s values and began their Langley journey in September 2022.

The Anthony Arthur Coward Scholarship has also been established following the kind donation by the late Barbara Hunt in memory of her nephew, Anthony Coward, an Icenian of Langley School. With a focus on socioeconomic need and high-performance ability, this funded scholarship to our Sixth Form is a wonderful addition to the School and brings enormous benefit to children who would otherwise be unable to access the benefits of an independent education.

b. Aims and intended impact

It is the Governors’ policy for both our Prep and Senior School to attain the highest academic levels, in addition to providing a co-curricular programme which aims to develop lifelong leisure interests and help build selfconfidence and a desire to contribute to the community.

c. Objectives for the year

Langley School's main objective this year was to continue to provide the best education and care for all pupils. There continues to be a significant emphasis on our pupils' mental health, well-being and general happiness – happy children learn and flourish!

REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR

a. Operational performance of the School

IISI Inspections took place at our Prep School (May 2024) and our Senior School (March 2024) site during this academic year, both of which resulted in incredibly positive reports being shared by the inspection teams. In May 2024, Ofsted inspected our Nursery setting, gaining an Outstanding rating. External endorsements to the exceptional level of education provided by Langley School were well received by the whole school community.

Good Schools Guide

Senior School

We are proud to share that in March 2025 the Good Schools Guide reviewed Langley Senior School. The first edition of The Good Schools Guide was published in 1986, and since then the organisation has grown enormously, always staying true to the objective of providing prospective parents with an independent view of schools across the independent and maintained sector. Coverage includes international schools, online schools, and schools for children with SEND. Schools cannot choose to be included in the Guide. Selection is invitation-only, making the review process entirely independent and all the more rewarding.

We are delighted with the contents of the report, as it captures what is special about Langley; our lack of pretension, our ambition for pupils, rooted in a deep understanding of their needs, and the beautiful surroundings in which pupils learn and grow.

There is huge praise for the breadth of our curriculum offering, with creative and performing arts featuring alongside a range of sports and our academic offering. Co-curricular activities are also featured in the report, with particular note being made of our Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and involvement in The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

The summary statement captures the essence of Langley perfectly:

“This school’s outstanding quality is in discovering potential in each child and encouraging the pursuit of excellence in a number of areas including the academic, sport and the arts. There is no “typical” Langley pupil and this is a school that would suit a wide range of ability and gifts. The space and beauty of the school and grounds are exceptional and an important part of the Langley experience”

Prep School

Langley Prep School was featured in the 2025 Good Schools Guide, an invitation only accolade recognised nationally for its independent and unbiased reviews. The Guide praised Langley for its “warm, nurturing environment” and highlighted the school’s exceptional woodland setting, specialist teaching, small class sizes and strong balance of academics, sport and the creative arts. It described Langley as “a country school close to the city… where the term ‘forest school’ might have been invented,” noting that pupils benefit from the space, beauty and freedom of the grounds. The review also reflected the school’s ambition for pupils, its lack of pretension, and the depth of understanding shown towards individual children’s needs.

REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR (continued)

Achievements and Performance of Langley Senior School

Academic - A Level results

This year’s A level results reflect the depth of commitment shown by our students and the strength of Langley’s academic tradition. Numerous pupils achieved the coveted AAA or above, with certain subjects delivering truly exceptional performances. In both Spanish and Chinese, 100% of students achieved an A or A grade, while 67% of those studying Chemistry secured the top grades of A to A. The creative and humanities subjects also shone, with 78% of Photography students achieving A to B, alongside 75% in Art, 75% in Economics, 71% in English Literature, and 70% in Geography. Extended Project Qualification results were equally impressive, with 100% of students awarded A to B. BTEC students also excelled, with a high proportion achieving Distinction*.

Behind the statistics are the individual journeys that define Langley’s Sixth Form experience. Among them is one pupil, who achieved three A grades and an A in their EPQ, including a top grade in Chinese as a nonnative speaker. They have secured a place to study Business with Chinese at University. Another, who served as Deputy Head of School and was a member of the Langley Football Academy, will be studying Medicine in Milan. One student, whose meticulous approach and passion for science earned their AAAB, is heading to the University of Manchester to study Optometry. Another will take their studies overseas, joining the American University in Dubai to specialise in Business Administration. One further pupil, who achieved A in Art, A in Biology, and A in Chemistry, will also be joining the University of Manchester to study Chemistry. This student’s enthusiasm for science and collaborative spirit made them a valued member of the Langley community. Reflecting on their success, they said, “Langley has encouraged me to push myself and given me the support I needed to reach my goals. I am really looking forward to studying Chemistry at Manchester and developing the skills to make a positive impact in the future.”

Langley Sixth Form leavers now embark on the next stage of their journeys, with 82% securing places at their first-choice; including world class universities such as Durham, Exeter, Manchester, Southampton, Newcastle, Aberdeen, Nottingham, Cardiff, Queen Mary University of London, Ravensbourne University London, BIMM University and University of the Arts London. Others are choosing apprenticeships, creative industries and professional training, ranging from healthcare to the Armed Forces. These destinations are as varied as the students themselves, which is exactly as it should be.

At Langley, we do not define success by a single path. We encourage our students to pursue what they care about deeply, and we support them in building the confidence, curiosity, and resilience to follow it. Whether their passion lies in science, design, business, or beyond, we help them shape futures that feel true to who they are.

Academic - GCSE results

2025 GCSE results also reflect excellent subject performance across a variety of disciplines. Among core subjects taken by all pupils, Maths and English results have been particularly impressive, with 92.2% achieving Grades 9-4 in Maths and 93.7% achieving Grades 9-4 in English. Other subjects with notably strong results were Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Photography, Art, Chinese, Computer Science, Design and Technology, Music, and Physical Education. In these subjects 100% of pupils achieved Grade 9-4, with performances at Grades 9-7 as high as 92% for some subjects.

One of the most critical measures of achievement for schools is in relation to progress achieved by pupils between each Key Stage. Against these measures, the progress pupils make at Langley demonstrates that our academic and pastoral support make a verifiable difference to students’ life chances.

Strategic report (continued)

REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR (continued)

Many individual pupil performances stand out this year, with several pupils receiving a clutch of top 9-8 Grades. Other individual stories reflect the emergence of talent and future focus in areas such as Languages, STEM, the Arts and Humanities.

We are also delighted to note the success of two Year 8 pupils from our Prep School, who sat GCSE French and Maths respectively, earning outstanding Grades 9-8. Such accomplishments can only be achieved in a learning environment where high ability and determination is encouraged.

Personal Development Education (PDE)

The PDE programme continues to be a defining feature of the school’s ethos, with deliberately timetabled curriculum time, an ongoing programme of teacher training and a rigorous pedagogical approach. It is still taught to all year groups for two one-hour sessions per fortnight and continues to incorporate a spiral curriculum enabling pupils to revisit and consolidate their key learning each year on Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHEE), Relationships and Sex Education (RSE), Citizenship Education and some of the Careers, covering all of the DfE’s statutory requirements and going beyond these using the PSHE Association’s programme of study, to ensure the curriculum is robust and supports the particular needs of the Langley community. The Head of PDE works closely with the Deputy Head Pastoral and the Designated Safeguarding Lead to ensure that in lessons PDE can enable intervention when issues or problems arise and can assist in the early prevention of harm to children. The Head of PDE also supports the pastoral system such as the Theme of the Week, assemblies and pastoral initiatives. Furthermore, the Head of PDE works with the Deputy Head Academic to ensure that the school’s academic objectives, such as improved study skills and oracy skills, are built into the curriculum and form part of the teaching and assessment in PDE.

Diversity, Equality and Inclusion

DEI resources have continued to be added to the Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural themes of the fortnight which all pupils and students explore with their tutors and Heads of Year throughout the year, these have included Black History Month, LGBTQIA+ Month, Rights and Equality at the World Cup. The LGBTQIA+, Social Awareness, Boys Talking Group met regularly and participated in pupil led assemblies to raise awareness of pupil voice issues such as Anti-Bullying, Protected Characteristics and Neurodiversity. Once again, the Prefects organised and hosted the Empowering Women event, which invited external female guest speakers, including Icenians, across a range of industries and professions to speak with and lead workshops for Langley pupils and visiting schools.

b. Co-Curricular Activities

Music and Drama:

Music and Drama continues to offer a vast array of opportunities for the pupils and students, both in enrichment time and also at lunchtimes. A new Head of Performing Arts started in September 2024, which has inevitably meant that significant changes have followed resulting in a new direction. We are lucky to have committed staff in the team that give their time freely to ensure that events and performances are high quality. Some key points this year to date are:

• Excellent House Music event in October. Many report it to be the best yet!

• High-quality performances at the Christmas Carol Concert – more pupils than ever participated

• 2-day Choir Tour was very well received by Care Homes visited

REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR (continued)

• Bound for Broadway musical was very successful with three full audiences and excellent pupil participation. The event showcased the incredible talent at Langley and was written with this in mind. The performance was live and pupil /student focussed including a live band

• Soirees continue to be successful with a wide variety of musical items. In the Summer term, they were expanded to include monologues and duologues to raise the profile of the Drama department and create cohesion between Music and Drama. The soirees were conceived to be events with smaller audiences, but the last one had a large attendance from parents

• The musical showcase that was put together for the Royal Norfolk Show was received well

• Musical performances at the start of the weekly Headmaster’s Assembly was introduced at the start of the year and continue to be regular and well received by pupils and students

• Choir expanded to over 60 pupils which has allowed us to tackle music in three parts improving the quality of the choir

The instrumental teachers have changed exam board from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music to Trinity. The wider range of musical styles encompassed by Trinity should increase the number of pupils/students taking practical examinations in their instruments.

Sport

As ever, a significant number of fixtures played every week. Key points are:

• Langley Football Academy saw its largest number of pupils ever – gaining momentum with oversee pupils

• Langley hosted another very successful U15s National Rugby tournament in October 2025

• Y11 pupils selected for England U17s tournament in Spain, earlier in February 2025

• Particular success in Y8 Football, who made it through to a national final in March 2025

• Significant increase in number of pupils accessing extra cricket and joining local clubs resulting in cup success with the 1XI team and U14 boys

• Langley made the regional finals of the National Handball Competition with our U15 boys

• The U18 Girls won the Football County Cup

• 3 Pupils represented the School at National Athletics Finals at Alexandra Stadium (sprints, shot put and discus).

• Our U18 girls and U14 girls Hockey made it through to their respective regional hockey competitions this term

• We have hosted Equestrian events on site with a view to growing our Equestrian team and increasing access to high quality coaching and instruction

• Other notable achievements outside of our focus sports include a number of pupils competing at a high level in equestrian, skiing, women’s football, swimming, kayaking, table tennis and shooting.

In addition to hosting the above events, staff members have delivered rugby, hockey and netball in several local primary schools. We have offered outreach to local primary schools in Rugby, Hockey and Netball, hosting festivals here on site. This has provided leadership opportunities for our BTEC Sport Students and Y11 Leaders. We have also hosted over 700 primary pupils from 25 South Norfolk schools across 2 cross country events this term.

REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR (continued)

Duke Of Edinburgh

This is now well established in the school ethos and pupils are actively engaging in the award. There was silver practice and assessed expeditions in May and June. The majority of Year 9s have completed the bronze level award. Expeditions have taken place in South Norfolk, the Peak district and Dartmoor as well as a gold expedition that rowed the rivers Ant, Bure and Thurne.

CCF

We continue to have all 3 services as part of the CCF – Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, as it is a strength of Langley. Inevitably, this requires a large number of staff to contribute to the CCF and DofE programme. Key points of note are:

• Busiest ever Remembrance Service in Chapel in November 2024

• Introduction of a new one-day ‘Rifle Course’ during February half term which proved popular with pupils attending

• Langley CCF Representation at Mousehold for Armistice Day Service for veterans

• Sixth Formers continue to be involved and awarded promotions in rank in assembly

• Many trips and events delivered - camps at Thetford Training Area (STANTA), had an afloat training day at Whittlingham (Norwich) and Adventure Training at Okehampton Camp, Dartmoor.

Enrichment Activities

Enrichment continues to be the final period of the day on Mondays to Thursdays. This allows the pupils to pick from a range of extra-curricular activities to further their interests, hobbies and well-being. Some year groups have mandatory sessions that they attend. Key points include:

• Increased student engagement - staff members have commented on how students have had a positive outlook on enrichment and that more students are engaging with the enrichment options

• Exciting new opportunities - cheerleading, podcast club and the school magazine are the newest additions to the enrichment offering. The latter was introduced following requests from students last year. A variety of new and innovative opportunities, such as drone racing, flight simulation, darts, coding, and scriptwriting, have been introduced, enriching the learning experience and attracting diverse student interests

• Student voice measurement - we plan to introduce an annual survey during the Trinity Term to gather feedback from students, providing valuable insights into their experiences and ensuring their voices continue to shape future enrichment offerings.

Trips

Educational visits remain a vital part of the opportunities Langley offers its pupils and continues to be highly valued by parents as well as pupils. Each academic year, the school runs more than 50 trips across a wide range of departments, sections of school and age groups. These experiences serve varied purposes, including curriculum requirement, subject enrichment, leadership development, and recreational, which all contribute meaningfully to pupils’ personal growth, engagement and sense of belonging.

Of particular note is the growing number of trips linked to flexi-boarding, allowing pupils to extend their stay and make fuller use of our boarding provision. This has proved especially beneficial for activities involving late returns and a service which we want to develop further.

In addition, there have been three international trips:

• Geography trip to Iceland – in November 2024, which proved very popular

• Ski trip to Austria for Y10s upwards – during Christmas holidays 2024, second year running, but with low numbers this year, so needs promoting strongly for next year

• Cultural trip to USA for Y9s upwards – during Easter holidays 2025

c. Achievements and Performance Langley Prep School

Leadership Transition and Whole-School Context

A mid-year leadership transition gave opportunity for a wide ranging review of systems, communication and curriculum pathways across Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep. This transition created the opportunity to strengthen alignment and ensure that structures, expectations and routines were consistent across all phases. The refinements made since September have focussed on bringing teams together, improving operational clarity and supporting the development of a revised whole-school vision shaped with pupils, staff, parents and governors.

These adjustments have emphasised shared expectations, unified planning processes and a clearer progression framework from the early years through to Year 8.

Prep School

Context and Direction

Across the Prep School, work this year has prioritised establishing a more coherent journey for pupils from Nursery to Year 8. The development of a refreshed Prep Vision, supported by a new School Development Plan structure, has provided clearer direction for curriculum, pastoral provision and communication. Aligned daily routines, shared INSET and integrated SMT involvement across phases have supported excellence in continuity.

The Deputy Head Academic continues to oversee the academic profile of pupils and works closely with Admissions to ensure a thorough understanding of each child's needs when they join. Most pupils progress internally from Pre-Prep, but a significant number join during Years 3–8 after taster days and consultation with previous schools. This enables the school to plan early support and ensure provision matches need.

The school continues to cater for a broad ability range, including pupils with diagnosed SEND, emerging needs and high learning potential across multiple domains. Early identification remains central, with the SENDCo involved at the point of transition where required.

Curriculum Review and Academic Development

Continual curriculum development has been a sustained focus throughout the year and will continue to be forward-thinking and innovative. An external review of EYFS practice supported strengthened sequencing, clearer learning pathways and improvements in early reading and phonics. This has informed wider exciting developments across Reception and Key Stage 1.

Across Years 3–8, the continued embedding of Accelerated Reader has led to greater consistency in reading tracking, more timely identification of gaps and improved follow-up by class teachers. Children’s progress in reading has been impacted extremely positively across all attainment levels. Weekly CPD time has allowed

staff to engage purposefully in moderation, curriculum mapping and review discussions as well as ensure staff are up to date in their own skills and knowledge.

Half-termly departmental reviews have supported more timely adjustments to teaching and curriculum design. The rise in the number of pupils presenting with neurodivergent profiles, reflecting national trends, has continued to inform staff training in adaptive teaching and responsive planning, ensuring our teaching and learning is bespoke to the needs of all pupils, regardless of ability.

Academic Profile and Attainment

Internal data reflects a diverse and mixed-ability cohort:

• Pupils with an EHCP: 3%

• Pupils with a diagnosed SEND: 13%

• Supported learners (undiagnosed): 8%

• Pupils on the monitoring list: 26%

• Pupils with High Learning Potential: 44–46%

• Pupils identified as academically able: 36–42%

The overall academic profile remains broadly similar to previous years, though with a greater proportion of pupils demonstrating a neurodivergent profile. Standardised assessments (PTE, PTM, PTS, NGRT, NGST, CAT4) indicate that pupils, on average, continue to perform slightly above national norms.

SEND Provision and Early Intervention

The school’s SEND provision remains rooted in early identification and targeted intervention. Pupils joining the school with known needs are assessed carefully, and the SENDCo is involved in transition visits where appropriate. Intervention programmes include literacy, numeracy and social communication groups delivered by the SEND team. A Speech and Language Therapist visits weekly to support pupils requiring targeted therapeutic input.

SEND needs represented within the school include dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, ADHD and ASD. The SEND register and monitoring list reflect the school’s inclusive intake and its commitment to meeting a wide range of needs through classroom practice and additional support.

Teaching, Learning and Behaviour

Teaching and learning developments this year have centred a school-wide focus on Ready to Learn, Engagement and Behaviour. This has informed learning walks, coaching and lesson planning. Behaviour across the Prep School remains extremely positive, supported by conscientious monitoring systems and steady expectations. Attendance remains high, with no concerns raised during local authority monitoring.

Pastoral Development and Wellbeing

Pastoral systems are strong across phases, with increased SLT presence supporting consistency and early intervention. The school nurse is undertaking ELSA training, which has expanded our wellbeing provision alongside our nurture groups. Staff continue to hold mental health first aider qualifications, and the school maintains access to therapeutic support. Honey, the school’s wellbeing dog, has continued to support pupils across the year, offering reassurance, promoting calmness and contributing positively to the school's wider wellbeing provision. Outdoor spaces have been improved to enhance wellbeing during breaks and learning.

REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR (continued)

The school continues to benefit from its extensive grounds and woodland areas, supporting the ongoing commitment to outdoor learning and the expansion of Outdoor Leadership into Key Stage 3.

Enrichment, Creative and Digital Development

Enrichment opportunities have expanded significantly this year:

• The Junior Duke programme for Years 5–6 promotes independence, resilience and practical life skills.

• The Entrepreneur Academy for Years 7–8 introduces pupils to enterprise, innovation and leadership and completion results in certification from University College London

• Robotics, coding and digital design have continued to evolve, supported by continuous review of resources and curriculum.

Creative Design (Art, Design and Textiles) and Computer Design and Robotics remain well received and continue to develop pupils’ creativity, problem-solving and digital literacy. We are now working on the introduction of engineering from September 2026. The Art Studio underwent a significant refurbishment this year, resulting in a modernised, purposeful space that enhances specialist teaching and gives pupils a highquality environment in which to develop their creative and technical skills.

Performing Arts and Music

The performing arts continue to be a strength. This year has included:

• A major Key Stage 2 production staged at the Senior School’s Alston Theatre of ‘Mary Poppins’.

• A Year 3 Christmas production.

• Regular drama lessons, LAMDA tuition, and after-school clubs supporting performance skills.

Music provision continues to thrive:

• Two choirs: Junior Choir (Y3–4) and Magna Voce (Y5–8)—have performed at school events, community services and venues including St Edmund’s Church, St Peter Mancroft and Norwich Cathedral.

• Musical treats during assemblies and half-termly soirées showcase developing musicians.

• A strong team of peripatetic staff continues to offer tuition in a wide range of instruments.

Sport

Sport continues to be a core strength of the school, with a sport-for-all philosophy ensuring broad participation. The school has played more than 300 fixtures during the year, supported by excellent facilities including extensive grounds, a sports hall, a heated indoor pool and a multi-use games area.

Notable successes include:

• Girls’ hockey: U11 and U13 teams progressing to national and county-level finals.

• Trinity Term Cricket - The U13A Girls had an outstanding season, highlighted by finishing 2nd in the IAPS National Final at Taunton School.

• The U12 Boys had a good cricket cup run, narrowly losing in the final of the County Cup.

• The U11A Girls - after winning the County Cricket Cup, they qualified for the Regional Finals where they finished 3rd.

REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR (continued)

Football opportunities have expanded through events with the Norwich City Community Foundation and increased internal competition, as well as the successful introduction of the Langley Football Academy (LFA) at the prep school for children in years 3-8.

Trips, Experiences and Community Engagement

Trips remain a valued part of the Langley experience. Pupils in Years 4–8 access residentials including Horstead, Bushcraft, PGL and international visits (e.g., France for Y7). Year 8 enjoy an expanded leavers’ programme based at Hilltop. The biennial ski trip continues to attract families and is set to run again next academic year.

The PTFA continues to play a significant role in community life, organising events such as bonfire night, Christmas and summer fairs, and discos. Fundraising has supported improvements to learning environments, including the current redevelopment of the trim trail for all children.

The Parents’ Forum meets termly, supporting dialogue between families and senior staff. Community and charity links remain strong, with Year 8 undertaking projects as part of their leavers’ programme and pupils taking part in wider local events including a colour run with Taverham High.

Pre-Prep

Pre-Prep work this year has focussed on improving consistency, strengthening early reading and securing strong foundations in Key Stage 1. Little Wandle phonics has embedded well, supported by frequent assessment and responsive planning. Sequencing across KS1 has been refined to reduce repetition and build clear progression.

Wellbeing remains central, with Circle Time embedded across classes and greater SLT presence ensuring consistent pastoral practice. Indoor and outdoor space developments have contributed to improved learning environments.

Pupil numbers are on a positive trajectory due to enhanced transition opportunities and stronger alignment with the Prep School.

Nursery (Bluebell Taverham and Bluebell Loddon)

Demand across both sites continues to rise. Staffing and space have and continue to expand, including the additional Oaks classroom at Taverham and the new baby room at Loddon. Work is being carried out to continue this expansion further.

The Bluebell Curriculum continues to develop, underpinned by training through Norfolk’s Baby Friendly Project, in which we were deemed a centre of excellence by Norfolk County Council, and updated early-years practice. Strengthened baseline assessments have led to earlier identification of need and more precise planning.

Nursery pupils benefit from a rich, play-based curriculum including wellbeing walks, sports hall access, swimming, library visits and early phonics experiences. Outdoor spaces have been improved to support continuous provision.

Daily communication and family engagement remain strong, contributing to positive transitions into Pre-Prep.

REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR (continued)

Summary

Across Nursery, Pre-Prep and Prep, this year’s developments have focussed on strengthening consistency, improving alignment and ensuring that provision meets pupils’ needs effectively. The leadership transition prompted a reassessment of structures and expectations, leading to refinements in curriculum, pastoral support, enrichment and community relationships with positive outcomes for all. These developments provide firm foundations for ongoing progress as the school moves into 2026 and beyond.

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR

a. Financial review

During the year, the School was required to become VAT registered and charge VAT on fees. Pupil numbers fell 3.3% from the Michaelmas to Trinity term with most parents choosing to avoid moving schools in the academic year. The school minimised the extent of the uplift in cost to parents required so far as possible, utilising the ability to reclaim input VAT to absorb some of the uplift.

The School reported a surplus for the year of £497,248 (2024: £66,823). Included within this are two exceptional items; £264,212 (2024: nil) from the profit on disposal of land and a onetime £77,422 historic Input VAT credit (note 1.5). The underlying movement in funds of £155,614 represents a surplus of 1.1% of total income (2024: 0.5%).

School fees fell marginally (0.5%) in this academic year reflecting a 3% in-year pupil reduction, partially offset by a 7.5% reduction in bursaries and scholarships.

b. Reserves policy

Note 21 to the financial statements shows the assets and liabilities attributable to the various funds by type and also summarises the year’s movements on each fund.

At 31 August 2025 unrestricted funds amounted to £6,533,191 (2024: £6,035,943) with tangible assets amounting to £9,733,501 (2024: £10,423,466) resulting in no free reserves (2024: £Nil). In the absence of free reserves, working capital and cash flow are monitored closely.

The Governors’ policy is to continue building up reserves out of operating surpluses, subject to the requirements for further capital expenditure. The School’s working capital is considered to be sufficient to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

c. Going concern

Taking into account cash and investment balances, forecast income and expenditure for the next 12 months and the ongoing support of and relationship with the School’s bankers, the Governors consider that the School's available resources are sufficient for the School and subsidiary company to be able to meet liabilities as they fall due.

For these reasons, whilst recognising the challenging environment faced by the whole independent school’s sector, the Governors are therefore confident that the resources available will allow the School to continue to invest in its facilities and its educational offering into the future.

d. Investment power and objectives

Under the memorandum and articles of association, the governors have the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit.

e. Future plans

The Board’s future plans are discussed and reviewed regularly. The key objectives are:

• to complete the strategic review and to update the School Development Plan;

• to continue to build and improve on pastoral and welfare care;

• to raise standards of achievement across all year groups;

• to continue to upgrade facilities across all areas;

• to maintain appropriate pupil/teacher ratios which we believe gives the necessary time for developing both academic and wider skills;

• to continue to build and encourage community access to the school’s facilities

Information on fundraising practices

Langley School does not undertake conventional charitable fundraising activities.

• Langley School does not have any third-party fundraisers acting on its behalf.

• The Charity not bound by any voluntary scheme or standard for regulating fundraising.

• The Charity has not received any complaints about its fundraising activity over the last year.

• The Charity has a complaints procedure and would review and learn from any complaints if they were received.

Engagement with employees and employment of the disabled

Employees have been consulted on issues of concern to them by means of regular consultative committee and staff meetings and have been kept informed on specific matters directly by management. The School carries out exit interviews for all staff leaving the organisation and has adopted a procedure of upward feedback for senior management and the Governors via the Operations Committee.

The School has implemented a number of detailed policies in relation to all aspects of personnel matters including:

• Equal opportunities policy

• Health & safety policy

In accordance with the School’s equal opportunities policy, the School has long-established fair employment practices in the recruitment, selection, retention and training of disabled staff. Full details of these policies are available from the School’s HR Team.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report including the Strategic report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and the Company and of their incoming resources and application of resources, including their income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);

• make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group and the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Group and the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Disclosure of information to auditors

Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' report is approved has confirmed that:

• so far as that Trustee is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable group's auditors are unaware, and

• that Trustee has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Trustee in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable group's auditors are aware of that information.

Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LANGLEY SCHOOL (1960) LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Langley School (1960) Limited (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Consolidated statement of financial activities, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Company balance sheet, the Consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of 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 Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charitable company's affairs as at 31 August 2025 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 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 Group's or the parent 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 Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. 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. 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 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.

Opinion 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 Trustees' report including the Strategic report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.

• the Trustees' report and the Strategic report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our 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 Trustees' report including the Strategic report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

• the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• certain disclosures of Trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LANGLEY SCHOOL (1960) LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent 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 Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' 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 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 (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:

Due to the field in which the Charity operates, we identified areas most likely to have a direct material impact on the financial statements as compliance with accounting standards, including Charities SORP (FRS 102) and charity law. In addition, we considered the provisions of other laws and regulations which, whilst not having a direct impact on the financial statements, are fundamental to the Charity's ability to operate, including safeguarding requirements, health and safety, employment law, data protection and compliance with various other regulations relevant to the conduct of the Charity's operations.

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risk of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, included the following:

• Enquiries with management and the Trustees about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations, accidents in the workplace, safeguarding breaches, data breaches, potential litigation or claims and fraud;

• Reviewing legal and professional fees to confirm matters where the Charity engaged lawyers during the year;

• Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

• Reviewing board and finance committee meeting minutes and any relevant correspondence with external authorities, including regulators;

• Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates;

• Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions outside the normal course of business.

Page 24

LANGLEY SCHOOL (1960) LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LANGLEY SCHOOL (1960) LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including 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 non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' 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 charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Langley School (1960) Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The Consolidated statement of financial activities (SOFA) and Consolidated balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of financial activities in these financial statements.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the company, and rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Company status

The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Governors named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

1.3 Going concern

Taking into account cash and investment balances, forecast income and expenditure for the next 12 months and the ongoing support of and relationship with the School’s bankers, the Governors consider that the School's available resources are sufficient for the School and subsidiary company to be able to meet liabilities as they fall due.

For these reasons, whilst recognising the challenging environment faced by the whole independent school’s sector, the Governors consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.4 Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the Friends is not recognised and refer to the Governors' report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Company which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

As of January 2025, the School was required to charge VAT on Income relating to fees. In 2025 the total output VAT charged from October 2024 to August 2025 was £1,922,613 (2024: £nil). All income is stated net of VAT.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Group to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

In November 2024 the School became VAT Registered and eligible to reclaim input VAT on applicable purchases. During the year the School reclaimed £221,801 (2024: £nil) in input tax, in addition the school was able to reclaim £77,422 (2024: £nil) related to input tax incurred in the prior financial period (see note 10). This is an exceptional credit in the statement of financial activities for the reported year. In the following year, the School will be in a position to re-claim historic Input VAT under the Capital Goods Scheme of which the value is expected to be £27,500 within the 2026 statutory accounts. All expenditure is recorded inclusive of any irrecoverable VAT.

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.6 Basis of consolidation

The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Langley School (1960) Limited and all of its subsidiary undertakings ('subsidiaries').

The company has taken advantage of the exemption contained within section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 not to present its own Income and expenditure account.

1.7 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Group; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

1.8 Taxation

The Company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

1.9 Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined to be the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life, which must be reviewed at each reporting date. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, it is presumed to be no more than five years.

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.

Amortisation is provided on the following bases:

Website - 25% Straight line Video materials - 20% Straight line

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.10 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

• Freehold property 2% Straight line - Plant and machinery 25% Straight line - Fixtures and fittings 20% & 25% Straight line

1.11 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Consolidated statement of financial activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

1.12 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

1.13 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.14 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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.

1.15 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

1.16 Financial instruments

The Group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.17 Finance leases and hire purchase

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the Group. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors, net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Consolidated statement of financial activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

1.18 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

1.19 Pensions

The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Group to the fund in respect of the year.

The school contributes to the Teachers' Pension Scheme, a contributory scheme administered by Teachers’ Pensions on behalf of the Department for Education. Contributions are made at rates set by the Government's actuary and advised to the school by the scheme administrator. The school also contributes to personal pension schemes for other non-teaching staff. Contributions to the pension scheme are charged to the company's income and expenditure account when payable

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.20 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

2. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Critical areas of judgment:

Useful economic lives of tangible assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 15 for the carrying amount of the tangible fixed assets and note 1.10 for the depreciation rates applied for each class of assets

Impairment of fee debtors

The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade.debtors and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade or other debtors, factors are considered including the current financial position of the debtor, the ageing profile of the debtors and historical experience. See note 18 for the net carrying amount of the debtors.

In FY2022, we were privileged to be left a substantial bequest by a donor. Barbara Hunt bequeathed a £413,654 legacy in memory of her nephew, Anthony Arthur Coward (Pupil 1967/1974) who tragically died in a car accident shortly after leaving the School. This money has been designated, in line with the family's wishes, to provide fully-funded scholarship places into our Sixth Form, covering all fees and costs. This scholarship celebrates outstanding potential, with the criteria for this award based on both academic ability and socio-economic need. Our first Scholarship recipients joined the School in September 2023.

Income, expenditure and gains/(losses) allocated to the designated fund represent investment income, investment manager's fees, and revaluations gains/(losses) respectively. Transfers out of the fund represent the value of scholarships given during the period. Where the School has sufficient cash reserves without needing to draw down cash from the investments, the funds are left invested in order to generate financial return for the School. As a result, the closing balance of the designated fund will not directly match the closing value of the School’s investment funds.

26. Pension commitments

Defined contribution pension scheme

The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the group in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the group to the fund and amounted to £457,903 (2024 - £388,427). At the balance sheet date, contributions totalling £45,578 (2024: £52,154) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date and are included in creditors.

Teachers' Pension Scheme

Introduction

The School participates in the Teachers' Pension Scheme ("the TPS") for its teaching staff. The TPS is a statutory, contributory, defined benefit scheme, governed by the Teachers’ Pension Scheme Regulations 2014. Membership is automatic for teachers All teachers have the option to opt-out of the TPS following enrolment.

The TPS is an unfunded scheme to which both the member and employer make contributions, as a percentage of salary - these contributions are credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.

Valuation of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme

The Government Actuary, using normal actuarial principles, conducts a formal actuarial review of the TPS in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and Employer Cost Cap) Directions 2014 published by HM Treasury every 4 years. The aim of the review is to specify the level of future contributions. Actuarial scheme valuations are dependent on assumptions about the value of future costs, design of benefits and many other factors.

The latest valuation of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme was carried out as at 31 March 2020. The valuation was published by the Department for Education on 26 October 2023. The key elements of the valuation and subsequent consultation are:

• Employer contribution rates changed on 1 April 2024 from 23.68% to 28.68% of pensionable pay (both including a 0.08% administration levy).

• total scheme liabilities (pensions currently in payment and the estimated cost of future benefits) for service to the effective date of £262,000 million and notional assets (estimated future contributions together with the notional investments held at the valuation date) of £222,200 million, giving a notional past service deficit of £39,800 million.

The valuation result was implemented from 1 April 2024.

Under the definitions set out in FRS 102, the TPS is an unfunded multi-employer pension scheme. The School has accounted for its contributions to the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme.

The employer’s pension costs paid to TPS in the period amounted to £517,817 (2024: £574,320). Contributions totalling £59,059 (2024: £65,292) were payable at the year end and are included in creditors.

A copy of the valuation report and supporting documentation is on the Teachers' Pensions website https://www.teacherspensions.co.uk/news/employers/2023/10/valuation-result
