The Governing Body, which recognises its statutory obligations in respÈtt of risk managemenL work5 Wlth the Headmaster and Bursar
on an on-going basis, to keep the sch(M)1's activities under review, particularly with regard to any major risks that may arise from time
to tirne. as well as the systems and procedures established to manage them. The He8dFnaster and Bursar monitor the effectiveness
of the system ol internal controls and reports to the Govorning Body in detail on an annual basis. The Governors believe the major
r￿kS identified by this proce55 (fire, accidents & injuries, 1055 of income, fraud. cyber-attacks) have been mitlgated to 4n acceptable
level through the extensive and cornprehensive use of risk assessments recorded in a risk register, robusi internal control systems,
extensive insurance cover, and other appropriate control5.
The imposition from 1° September 2019 of a 43% In¢re45e in employer¥ contribution& and the impending increase in 2023 which will

the school, and therefore the School's rnembership of the scheme. TIMS reviewwas interrupted byconontralion on Covid-19 related issues.
The results ol this reviewwill be completed in 2021-22.

rnitigating the risk of m8jor repails and reconstnjction in the future, which could lead to risks to the School's ability to deliveredur4tion to
the pupils at the same high level. Planned development of the Site, including the redevelopment of the St Matthew's complex of building,
St David's and the ITSeNite5 Support Services block ènd the Don B￿(0 Mathernatics department will see further mitigation of the risks as
these building are replatrd. However, commitment to these projects is a risk to the school's having sufficient funds to deliver its prirnary
purpose, the education and well-be¢ng of its pupils. This risk is mitigated by forward Flanrwng to ensure that reserves remain at the level
necessary to fulfll all the 5choo5'5 commitments.
A rev*w of ihe school's IT facilities has concluded that there is a Considerab￿ risk of lailure. risking the school's abiltyto delww educetion

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORTTO THE MEMBERS OF
THE GARD'NER MEMORIAL LIMITED, MORE HOUSE SCHOOL (continued}
In preparing the financial ststement5, the governors are responsible for assessing the charitable company's
abilrty to continue a5 a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the
going concern basis of accounting unless the governors either intend to liquidate the charitsble 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 auditorfs report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assuiance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI 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 influer¢ce the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates. we identified
that the principal risks of non-compliances with law5 and regulations related to the regulatory requirements of
the Charity Commission and OFSTED. and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have
material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct
impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies A¢1 2006, Charities Act 2011,
Charities SORP120191 and payroll taxes.
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial
statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risk was related to the
recognition of voluntary income. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included..
Enquiries of management regarding correspondence with regulators and tax authorities.,
Review of relevant committee meeting minutes,-
Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspetted instances of non-
compliance with laws and regulation and fraud,.
Reviewing the controls and procedures of the charity, particularly in relation to the recording of income
and processing of payments and payroll, to ensure these were in place throughout the year, including
during the Covid-19 remote working period,.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
asis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice
for Charities ISORP 20151 (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006.
The Gard'ner Memorial Limited More House School 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 note{sl.
b)
Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
Having assessed the school's financial posltion and plans for the foreseeable future, the risks to which the
School is exposed including the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the detailed cash
projections and budgets to March 2023, the Governor5 are satisfied it remains appropriate to prepare the
accounts on a going concern basis. There are no material uncertainties regarding the School's going
concern status.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estirnation uncertainty
In the application of the accounting policies, Governors are required to make judgement, estimates,
and assumptions about the carying 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
factor5 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 the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future
periods.
In the view of the governors, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting
assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to re result in a material adjustment to their carrying
amounts in the next financial year.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES ICONTINUEDI
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
d)
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the School has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income
will be received and the amount of income can be measured reliably.
Fees receivable and charges for seNices and use of the premises, less any allowances, scholorships,
bursaries granted by the School against those fees. but including contributions received from restricted
fvnds, are accounted for in the period in which the setvice is provided.
Voluntary incoming resources are accounted for as and when entitlement arises, the amount can be
reliably quantified and the economic benefit to the School is considered probable. Voluntsry income for
the School's general purposes is accounted for as unrestricted and is credited to the General Reserve.
Where the donor or an appeal has imposed trust law restrictions, donation income is credited to the
relevant restricted fund and incoming endowments are accounted for as permanent trust capital or
expendable trust capital, according to whether the donor intends retention is to be permanent or not.
Investment income from bank balances and fixed interest securities is accounted for on an accruals basis.
Government grants
Government grant income represents the total amount claimed from HM Revenue and Custom5 under
the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme {ORS). The income is accounted for in the period in which the
associated salary payments are made to furloughed staff.
Expenditure
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, discounted to present value for longer-
term liabilities. Expenditure attributable to more than one cost category in the SOFA is apportioned to
them on the basis of the estimated amount attributable to each activty in the year. either by reference to
staff time or the use made of the underlying assets, as appropriate. Governance costs comprise the costs
of complying with constitutional and ststutory requirements. Irrecoverable VAT is included with the item
of expenditure to which it relates.

g)
Fixed Assets
All fi'xed assets are stated at COSt less depreciation. Expenditure on fixed assets Is capitalised where the
cost lor the value if donated) is in excess of £5,000.
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of fixed assets, other than freehold land, using the following
methods..
Freehold buildings
Furniture and equipment
Computer equipment
Motor vehicle5
- So years
10 years
4 years
5 years
Over the life of the lease
Leased assets
h>
Hire Purchase and Finance leases
Assets obtained under hire purchase and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. These
assets are depreciated over the shorter 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 charges allocated to future periods.
The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities so as to
produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligations outstanding in each period.
Pension5
Retirement benefits to employees of the School are provided through two pension schemes, one defined
benefit and one defi'ned contribution. The pension costs charged in the Statement of Financial ActDlities
are determined as follows..
The Teachers, Pension 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 Teachers. Pension Scheme on a
onslstent and reasonable basis and therefore, as required by FRS102, accounts for the scheme as if it
were a defined contribution scheme. The School'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.
Personal Pension Plan this is a defined contribution group personal pension plan with Prudential or
NEST. Employer's pensions costs are charged in the period in which the salaries to which they relate are
payable.

i)
Funds
The different funds are defined as follows..
Restricted funds are those funds which are to be used in accordance with specific instrurtions imposed
by the donor or trust deed.
Unrestricted funds are those funds available to the School for its general purposes. It is the policy of the
governors to retsin in unrestricted funds, amounts which in their judgement can help to mitigate the
short-term effects of income volatility and retain funds to generate sufficient income to meet current and
future operational activities of the School.
k)
Debtors
Fee and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes bank accounts, cash and short term highly liquid investments with a
short maturity of three month5 or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar
account.
m) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the School has a present obligation resulting from a past
event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the
obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditor5 and provisions are normally recognised at
their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

PENSION COMMITMENTS
Fietirement benefits to employees of the School are provided through pension schemes, one defined
benefit and one defined contrib%Jtion. The pension costs charged in the Statement of Financial Activities
are determined as follows..
The School participates in the Teachers. Pension Scheme (England and Wales) 1.the TPS'I for its teaching
staff. The pension charge for the year includes contributions payable to the TPS of £518,457 12020..
£517.1181 and at the year-end £66,836 12020 £59,517) was owing in respect of contributions to this
scheme.
The TPS is an unfunded multi-employer defined benefits pension scheme governed by The Teachers,
Pensions Regulations 2010 las amended) and The Teacher5, Pension Scheme Regulations 2014 (as
amended). Member5 contribute on a "pay as you go. basls Wlth contributions from members and the
employer being credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefit5 are paid by public
funds provided by Parliament.
The employer contribution rate is set by the Se(retsry of State following scheme valuations undertaken
by the Government Artuary's Department. The most recent artuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared
as at 31 March 2016 and the Valuation Report. which was published in March 2020, confirmed that the
employer contribution rate for the TPS would increase from 16.4% to 23.6% from 1 September 2020.
Employers are also required to pay a scheme administration le￿Y of 0.08% giving a total employer
contribution rate of 23.68%.
The 31 March 2016 Valuation Report was prepared in accordance wth the benefits set out in the scheme
regulations and under the approach specified in the Directions, as they applied at 5 March 2020. However,
the assumptions were considered and set by the Department for Education prior to the ruling in the
'McCloud/Sargeant case.. This case has required the courts to consider cases regarding the
implementation of the 2015 reforms to Public Service Pensions including the Teachers, Pension5.
On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the government permission to appeal the Court of Appeal's
judgment that transltional provisions introduced to the reformed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to
unlawful age discrimination. The government is respecting the Court's decision and has said it will engage
fully with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member representatives to agree how the
discriminations will be remedied. The government announced on 4 February 2021 that it intends to
proceed with a deferred choice underpin under which members will be able to choose either legacy or

refom)ed scheme benefits in respect of their setvice during the period between 1 April 2015 and 31 March
2022 at the point they become payable.
The TPS is subjectto a cost cap mechanism which was put in place to protect taxpayers against unforeseen
changes in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 announced that there would
be a review of thi5 Cost cap mechanism. in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanism
following the Court of Appeal's ruling in the McCloud/Sargeant case and until there is certainty about the
value of pensions to employees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020, and
consultation was launched on 24 June on proposed changes to the cost control mechanism following a
review by the Government Actuary. The consultation closed to response on 19 August 2021 and the
Government is currently analysing the responses.
In view of the above rulings and decisions the assurrtptions used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuation
may become inappropriate. In this scenario, a valuation prepared in accordance with revised benefits and
suitably revised assumptions would yield different results than those contained in the Actuarial Valuation.
Until the consultation and the cost cap mechanism review are completed it is not possible to conclude
on any financial impact or future change5 to the contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly, no provision
for any additional past benefit pension costs is included in these financial statements.
Other staff are enrolled into the School's defined contribution scheme to which the School contributes
6% of gross salary. There were contributions of £14,09312020 - £11,986) outstsnding at the year-end.
