Wycliffe College {Incorporated) Annual Report by the Council of Trustees for the year ended 31 August 2024 Within the exams data there were, once again, some individual narratives of success reflecting the school's philosophy.

Biannual meetings take place with staff where management make employees aware of how the College is performing and discuss the challenges it currently faces.

We strive continually not only to maintain but also to enhance our hard-won reputation for integrity and high standards. FINANCIAL REVIEW Results for the year The Council monitors the financial performance of the College against three key performance indicators, these being the level of surplus, expenditure on teaching salaries and bank borrowings. Performance is reviewed by the Council on a termly basis. The College also uses externally available benchmarking data from the independent schools sector to monitor and assess financial performance. The net movement in funds was a deficit of £1,201,357 (2023.. deficit of £1,399,599). The College reported an operating surplus in the year (pre interest and depreciation) of £95,65712023'. surplus of £36,776) The financial position at the balance sheet date was less favourable than the prior year due to the net deficit in movement of funds. External bank borrowings decreased to £3,594,566 (2023 £4,612,623) at 31 August 2024, and cash at bank increased by £59,475 (2023 '. £325,058). The College's trading subsidiary, Woodpark Limited and Wycliffe College Foundation (a separate legal entity deemed to be under the control of the College} contributed turnover, profit and net assets outlined in note 14 to the Financial Statements. Reserves Level and Policy and Financial Viability The College's unrestricted funds, including the revaluation reserve, were £20.4m as of 31 August 2024 (2023.. £21.8m), wholly deployed as part of the College's premises and equipment supplemented by external funding, as required, in the form of a ftexible secured loan. Day to day working capital needs are met by careful management of short-term liquid resources and the 10 year revolving loan facility. Restricted funds held of £1.6m {2023.. £1.5m} and so total funds at 31 August 2024 are £22.1 m {2023: £23.3m). The Council have considered, as part of its Risk Management, the risks and uncertainties of operating an independent educational establishment and has concluded that the need to hold free reserves is not crucial to the day to day operation of the College. The policy is therefore to control net current liabilities using annual operating surpluses. External borrowing, when required, is controlled in order to meet further capital expenditure to equip the College with the up-to-date facilities needed to maintain and further improve the standard of educational services currently provided. 10
Wycliffe College (Incorporated) Annual Report by the Council of Trustees for the year ended 31 August 2024 Going Concern The trustees regularly assess the appropriateness of preparing the annual financial statements on a going concern basis, taking into account potential uncertainties that could impact the school's financial position. The trustees have prepared detailed forecasts up to 31 August 2026, which project an operating surplus. These forecasts reflect the trustees, prudent assumptions regarding the introduction of VAT on school fees from 1 January 2025, planned cost-saving measures currently underway, and reasonable allowances for inflation and other variables such as pupil numbers, staffing costs, ulility expenses, and capital investment needs. The trustees have modelled several scenarios, including potential reductions in pupil numbers, increased operating costs, and necessary capital expenditure. Based on these analyses, they are confident that the school can manage these risks effectively. The trustees believe the measures already in place to reduce costs and increase pupil recruitment will continue to strengthen the school's financial position. The school maintains a 10-year £7.5m revolving credit facility to support its working capital needs, a financing structure that is common within the independent school sector. As of 31 August 2024, £3.5m 12023.. £4.6m) was drawn, leaving £4m (2023.. £2.9ml available. For the year ended 31 August 2024, the school did not meet one of its financial covenants. The lender, while reserving its right to take action, has expressed ongoing support and continues to work closely with the school. The trustees are actively engaged in discussions with the lender regarding the facility, which is due for renewal in March 2027, and are exploring options to renew, refinance, or reduce reliance on the facility by realising surplus assets. While renewal or refinancing of the facility involves some uncertainty, the trustees are confident in the strength of the relationship with the lender and the measures being undertaken to secure the school's financial sustainability. Therefore, they have concluded that preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis remains appropriate. Principal Risks and Uncertainties The Council are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the College and place considerable importance on achieving compliance with charity, education and health and safety legislation. The College's solicitors review the principal College policies on a regular basis and all other policies are reviewed by the College's Leadership Team. The College employs a full time "Risk and Compliance Manager" which underlines the profile Wycliffe accords to the operational spectrum of risk management. The Council are ultimately accountable for all risks associated with the College and to assist in the reduction or, where practicable, elimination of such risk., it devolves such responsibility to the Head, Leadership Team, and Risk and Compliance Manager. The College's Risk Register identifies any major risks to the College, grading those risks by likelihood and severity including measures to mitigate them. The Council regularly reviews the effectiveness of current plans and strategies for managing all identified major risks. Key staff are aware of the register and offer risks appertaining to their area of work for consideration and inclusion in this document. In the event of a major situation involving or otherwise affecting the College, business continuity and disaster recovery plans are in place. These plans are subject to regular review. 11

Statement by the Council in the performance of their statutory duties in accordance with s172{1) of the Companies Act 2006 The Council believe that they have effectively implemented their duties under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006. The Council has considered the long-term strategy of the business within the Strategic Report and consider that this strategy will continue to deliver long term success to the business and its stakeholders. The Council is committed to maintaining an excellent reputation and strives to achieve high standards. We are highly selective about which suppliers are used to deliver best value while maintaining an awareness of the environmental impact of the work that they do and strive to reduce their carbon footprint. The Council recognise the importance of wider stakeholders in delivering their strategy and achieving sustainability within the business. The main stakeholders in the company are considered to be the employees, suppliers and customers.

We are independent of the Charitable Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Conclusions relating to going concern In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going conrn basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Charitable Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least Iwelve 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 Trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Reference and Administrative details, Trustees, Report and the Governan Statement, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otheNise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement ofthe other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misslatement of this other information, we are required to report Ihat facl. We have nothing to report in this regard. 14
Wycliffe College (Incorporated) Independent Auditors, Report to the Members of Wycliffe College for the year ended 31 August 2024 Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. the information given in the governors, report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors, report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements., and the strategic report and the directors, 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 Group's and the Parent Charitable Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report and the directors, report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion.. adequate accounting records have not been by the Parent Charitable Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or the Parent Charitable Company fir.ancial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns., or certain disclosures of directors, remuneration specified by law are not made., or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of Trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees, Responsibilities, 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 governors either intend to liquidate the Charitable Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK) will alwaye 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 usefs 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= 15
Wycliffe College (Incorporated) Independent Auditors, Report to the Members of Wycliffe College for the year ended 31 August 2024 We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the company. We determined that the most significant laws and regulations included UKGAAP, UK Companies Act 2006 and taxation laws; We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included challenging assumptions and judgments made by management in its significant accounting estimates and identifying and testing journal enlries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual characterislics. 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 regulalion. 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. As parl of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also.. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Charitable Company's internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the governors, use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Charitable Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Charitable Company to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 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 auditor's 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 the Charitable Company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Wycliffe College (Incorporated) Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024 statutory information The School is a Public Benefit Entity registered as a Charity in England and Wales and a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 10 April 1931 (company number.. 255632) and registered as a charity on 28 July 1966 {charity number.. 311714). Details of the registered address is given on page 2 and details of the principal activity is given in the report of the council of trustees. Accounting policies Basis of preparing financial statements The functional currency of the College is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the School operates and all amounts are rounded to the nearest pound. Basis of consolidation The group accounts consolidated the accounts of Wycliffe College (Incorporated) limited by guarantee and its subsidiary undertakings, Wycliffe College Foundation and Woodpark Limited on a line by line basis. The accounts are made up to 31 August 2024. Wycliffe College Foundation is deemed to be a subsidiary based on Wycliffe College (Incorporated) Limited By Guarantee having control over the entity. No separate statement of financial activities or income and expenditure has been presented for the charitable company alone as permitted by the Companies Act 2006 and the 2015 Charities SORP. The parent company's net expenditure for the year was £1,293,898 (2023.. £1,277,304). The results of the subsidiary undertakings for the year are disclosed in note 14 of the accounts. statement of Compliance The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102}, the Companies Act 2006 and the 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. Going concern The trustees regularly assess the appropriateness of preparing the annual financial statements on a going concern basis, taking into account potential uncertainties that could impact the school's financial position. The trustees have prepared detailed forecasts up to 31 August 2026, which project an operating surplus. These forecasts reflect the trustees, prudent assumptions regarding the introduction of VAT on school fees from 1 January 2025, planned cost-saving measures currently underway, and reasonable allowances for inflation and other variables such as pupil numbers, staffing costs, utility expenses, and capital investment needs. The trustees have modelled several scenarios, including potential reductions in pupil numbers, increased operating costs, and necessary capital expenditure. Based on these analyses, they are confident that the school can manage Ihese risks effectively. The trustees believe the measures already in place to reduGe costs and increase pupil recruitment will continue to strengthen the school's financial position. The school maintains a 10-year £7.5m revolving credit facility to support its working capital needs, a financing structure that is common within the independent school sector. As of 31 August 2024, £3.5m (2023.. £4.6m) was drawn, leaving £4m (2023.. £2.9m) available. 23
Wycliffe College (Incorporated) Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024 Accounting policies Icontinued) Going Concern (continued) For the year ended 31 August 2024, the school did not meet one of its financial covenants. The lender, while reserving its right to take action, has expressed ongoing support and continues to work closely with the school. The trustees are actively engaged in discussions with the lender regarding the facility, which is due for renewal in March 2027, and are exploring options to renew, refinance, or reduce reliance on the facility by realising surplus assets. While renewal or refinancing of the facility involves some uncertainty, the trustees are confident in the strength of the relationship with the lender and the measures being undertaken to secure the school's financial sustainability. Therefore, they have Concluded that preparing the financial statements on a going concern basis remains appropriate. Income of Wycliffe College (Incorporated) Fees and similar earned income This represents the invoiced value of fees and other income net of bursaries and scholarships Fees received for education to be provided in future years are carried fotward as deferred. Donations and fundralsing Donations received for the general purposes of the College are credited to unrestricted funds. Donations subject to specific wishes of the donors are credited to relevant restricted funds, or to endowed funds. Donated assets are valued at estimated open market value at the date of the gift. Government grants Payments received from the government for furloughed employees are a form of grant. This grant money is receivable as compensation for expenses already incurred, and where this is not in respect of future related costs, is recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable and the related expenses is incurred. Income of Wycliffe College Foundation Legacies Legacies are recognised where there is entitlement, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliabilily. Dividends Dividends are included when they are receivable. Bank Interest Bank interest is included on an accruals basis. 24
Wycliffe College (Incorporated) Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024 Accounting policies (continued Income of Woodpark Limited Hire of facilities Turnover from Ihe hire of facilities is included when it is receivable and to the extent that the service has been completed. Sale of goods Turnover from the sale of goods is included when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount can be estimate with reasonable certainty, it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transition can be measured reliably. Expenditure Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, discounted to present value or longer term liabilities. Overhead and other costs not directly attributable to particular functional activity categories are apportioned over the relevant categories on the basis of managemenl estimates of the amount attributable to that activity in the year, either by reference to staff time or space occupied, as appropriate. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expenditure to which it relates. Governance costs comprise the cost of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements. Tangible fixed assets The cost of tangible fixed assets is their purchase cost, together with any incidental costs of acquisition. Freehold land and buildings include original cost and subsequent alterations and additions. Freehold land and buildings were previously revalued using RICS open market valuation on a freehold basis by an independent professionally qualified valuer. This value has since been treated as deemed cost and not updated, in line with transitional provisions of FRS 102. Depreciation Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of all relevant tangible fixed assets less estimated residual value based on current market prices, over their useful economic lives. The rates used are as follows=. Freehold land & buildings Furniture and fittings Equipment Motor vehicles and boats Computer software 2 _ 100/0 per annum straight line 10_ 20 % per annum straight line 10 _ 33.30/0 per annum straight line 10_ 33.30/0 per annum straight line 20 _ 33.3 % per annum straight line No depreciation is charged on land. Assets under the course of construction are not depreciated until they are brought into use. An amount equal to the excess of the annual depreciation charge on revalued assets over the historical cost depreciation charge on those assets is transferred annually from the revaluation reserve to the unrestricted funds reserve. Investments Investments are valued at current market value. 25
Wycliffe College (Incorporated) Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024 Accounting policies Icontinued) stock Stocks are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Advance fee scheme Advance fees represent payments in advance in respect of education to be provided in future terms in accordance with a written contract. The fees for each term are charged against the remaining balances and taken to income. Fund accounting Details and the nature and purpose of each fund are set out in note 24. Pension costs The pension costs charged in the Statement of Financial Activities are determined as follows.. The Teachers, Pension Defined Benefits Scheme- this scheme is a multi-employer pension scheme. It is not possible to identify the -College's share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis and therefore, as required by FRS 102, accounts for the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. The College's contributions, which are in accordance with the recommendations of the Government Actuary, are charged in the period in which the salaries to which they relate are payable. Auto Enrolrnent Pension Scheme- this scheme is a unit-linked defined contribution scheme from The Peoples Pension (B & CE Ltd). The College contributes at varied rates of pensionable salary. For further information, see Note 30. Operating leases The annual rents on operating leases are charged to the revenue account on a straight line basis over the lease term, even if the payments are not made on such a basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are similarly spread on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leased assets: the College as lessee Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorler of the lease term and their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. 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 Statement of Financial Activities and Retained Earnings so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding each period. Financial Instruments Financial instruments are recognised when the College becomes party to the contractual provisions of Ihe instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts are there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 26
Wycliffe College (Incorporated) Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024 Accounting policies (continued) Basic financial instruments Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and a subsequently carried at amorlised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the financial asset is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through the statement of financial activities are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss if the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimate cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the statement of financial activities. Derecognition of financial assets Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the College transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party. Classification of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. Basic financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans and advance fee payments are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when and only when, the College's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire. Interest rate swap agreements The College uses interest rate swap agreements to reduce exposure to interest rate changes. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on Ihe date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value.

Wycliffe College (Incorporated) Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2024 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation and uncertainty In the application of the accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgement, estimates and assumplions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects current and future periods. The following key estimates and judgements are adopted in the preparation of the accounts: Depreciation of tangible fixed assets - the Trustees exercise their judgement in assessing the useful economic life of an asset and expected residual values where appropriate. Bad debt provision the Trustees adopt a prudent and consistent basis of recognising the provision which takes into account debt collection rates throughout the year. b) In the view of the Trustees, these are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
