REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended 31 August 2022

INTRODUCTION

The Board of Governors (who are trustees for the purpose of charity law and directors for the purposes of company law) present their annual report for the year ended 31st August 2022 prepared under the regulations of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, together with the audited financial statements for the year and confirm that the latter comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the company's memorandum and articles of association and the Charities SORP, applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK (FRS102).

The report of the governors includes the information required to be disclosed under company law in the directors' report.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The School was founded in 1899 and became a charitable trust in 1963. It is governed by its memorandum and articles of association.

Governing Body

Governors are elected at a meeting of the Board of Governors and all new governors are invited to become members of the charitable company. Careful consideration is given to the appointment of governors and individuals are approached where there is a need for particular skills. All key areas of responsibility are adequately covered by the existing Board of Governors.

Governors

All governors give of their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the year. No governor or person connected with a governor received any benefit from either means tested bursaries or scholarships awarded to any pupils.

Governors' training

New governors are well briefed about the School and its procedures and policies. A detailed induction process is in place and includes a file containing all relevant aspects of the School (such as the prospectus, memorandum and articles, and the latest inspection report), together with the AGBIS handbook and training details. Governors visit the School during the term to gain an understanding of teaching methods. They also attend seminars and training events when appropriate to keep up to date about governance, safeguarding and other developments.

Organisational Management

The governors determine the strategic policy of the School and review its overall management and control for which they are legally responsible. The full governing body meets at least once a term and more often if required. In addition, the Finance, Health, Safety and Welfare, Marketing, Academic and Pastoral sub-committees meet termly and report back to the main governing body. The day to day management of the School is delegated to the Head who is well supported by other members of the senior leadership team.

Pay Policy for Senior Staff

The Head, Bursar and senior teaching staff comprise the key management personnel of the School. Remuneration of the Head and Bursar is reviewed annually in accordance with their contracts of employment, and is benchmarked against schools of similar size in the locality.

Remuneration of senior teaching staff is reviewed annually and benchmarked against national scale rates for teaching staff of equivalent experience, seniority and responsibility.

Risk Management

The Board of Governors is responsible for the management of risks faced by the School. The risk register and policy is reviewed by a sub-committee of governors and senior School staff, who report annually to the Board of Governors. Risks are identified, assessed and controls applied throughout the year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended 31 August 2022

Principal Activity

The principal activity of the charity continues to be the provision of a preparatory school for boys up to the age of 16+ with education and pastoral care of the highest possible calibre. From September 2021 the School became co-educational and admitted girls for the first time.

OUR AIMS

Kingswood House is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children: o Staying safe o Being healthy o Enjoying and achieving o Making a positive contribution o Social and economic well-being

Kingswood House aims to:

o Develop the individual abilities of each child in a secure, caring and friendly environment where they are happy and motivated to learn and to appreciate the benefits of healthy living and physical fitness.

o Encourage participation, enjoyment and success in all areas of the School's curriculum to create a well-rounded, confident child who shows respect, tolerance and compassion towards people and the environment.

o Help children develop self-worth and maturity so they are equipped to deal with life's challenges and are prepared for the next stage of their education.

o Create a strong partnership between parents, children and staff to foster social awareness and to allow all members of the School community to feel valued and appreciated.

OUR OBJECTIVES

Our objectives are set to reflect our educational aims and the ethos of the School. It is important to us that we maintain and enhance the academic success of the School. This objective is, however, set in the context of the broader goals we set for the School and its pupils.

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our governors have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on advancing education and on fee-charging.

Our key objectives for the year included:

o To enhance and improve the education and social development of every child in an individual manner such that they achieve their maximum potential and are able to gain entrance to their chosen senior school for the completion of their education;

o To continue to establish the School as an attractive 4-16 option for pupils in the local community; o To embed co-education throughout the academic and co-curricular provision;

o To continue to develop the first class pastoral care we provide for pupils;

o To provide continuing support of our pupils already in receipt of fee assistance through bursaries; and if possible increase the provision of means tested bursaries for next year's intake of pupils;

o To continue to improve the facilities and resources available to the pupils and staff.

OUR ETHOS, STRATEGY AND POLICIES

Strategy

Our governors are responsible for setting a strategy for achieving the objectives they have set. The focus of our strategy is to create and maintain a secure and friendly environment where pupils are happy and well-motivated to learn from the wide range of opportunities presented to them. With an individual approach for each pupil, the objective is to maximise their academic potential and other abilities, develop self-discipline, social awareness and self-esteem.

The strategy for achieving these aims is the provision of small class sizes from the earliest stage, staffed by high quality teachers with support from a wide range of in-house specialists in learning development, with access to the most appropriate facilities undertaken within a broad and challenging curriculum.

In taking forward our strategy we also plan to:

o Invest in technology and the infrastructure of our School;

o Co-operate and share resources with local schools;

o Continue to review and develop our methods for awarding bursaries and scholarships to ensure wider access to pupils from all backgrounds;

o Embed co-education;

o Consider expansion of GCSE options; and

o Embrace technology as a working part of teaching and learning via a Chromebook programme.

Our ethos: a caring School serving our local community and society.

Kingswood House School is a charitable trust which seeks to benefit the public through the pursuit of its stated aims. Our fees are set at a level to ensure the financial viability of our School and at a level that is consistent with our aim of providing a first-class education for all our pupils.

Our School welcomes pupils from all backgrounds. To admit a prospective pupil, we need to be satisfied that our School will be able to educate and develop a prospective pupil to the best of their potential and in line with the general standards achieved by their peers. Entrance interviews and assessments are undertaken to satisfy ourselves and parents that potential pupils can cope with the pace of learning and benefit from the education we provide. An individual's economic status, ethnicity, race, religion or disability do not form part of our assessment processes.

We are an equal opportunity organisation and are committed to a working environment that is free from any form of discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation or disability. We will make reasonable adjustments to meet the needs of staff or pupils who are or become disabled.

Our School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Access policy

It is important to us that access to the education we offer is not restricted to those who can afford our fees. We believe our pupils benefit from learning within a diverse community. A great deal of learning occurs through social interaction, conversation and shared experiences which helps our pupils develop an understanding of the perspectives of other people that will be vital in their adult lives. Our bursary policy contributes to a widening of access to the education we offer and the facilities we enjoy. We are also hoping to establish more teaching links with local state schools.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 August 2022

Bursary policy

The governors view our bursary awards as important in helping to ensure children from families who would otherwise not be able to afford the fees can access the education we offer. Our bursary awards are available to all who meet our general entry requirements and are made solely on the basis of parental means or to relieve hardship where a pupil's education and future prospects would otherwise be at risk, for example, in the case of redundancy. In assessing means we take a number of factors into consideration including family income, investments and savings and family circumstances for example dependant relatives and the number of siblings. However, the School does not have any endowment or bursary funds so the awards have to be met out of current income. In funding them we have to be mindful of ensuring a balance between fee-paying parents, many of whom make considerable personal sacrifices to fund their child's education, and those benefiting from the awards. In the past year we have provided financial help to 85 pupils in the School by way of scholarships, bursaries and sibling discounts.

Details of the bursaries available can be found on the website.

REVIEW OF ACHIEVEMENTS FOR THE YEAR

Operational Performance

The main objective for the year in holistic terms was to ensure that pupils, parents and staff returned to a greater degree of normality post-pandemic. It was envisaged that it would take consistency of time and effort for everyone to become 'match-fit' and an extra budget was approved to support an additional layer of mental health, wellbeing and support for the whole community. This paid dividends and was an astute investment as we saw an increase in students requiring emotional help at various points during the academic year.

The key priorities from a strategic point of view were to successfully instil co-education throughout the school, re-invoke a Reception class, prepare for an ISI inspection (which did not materialise) and maintain momentum through our GCSE cohort to retain strong value-added data in public examinations. These facets were accomplished whilst achieving a healthy rise in numbers on roll which in turn propagated additional investment in the fabric of the school site, such as resurfacing of the Astroturf and refurbishment of the kitchen.

FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR

Fundraising

Fundraising for the School was organised mainly by current parents of the School. The Kingswood House Association is run by a hard-working committee of parents who continue to arrange social events for parents and pupils and fundraise for the benefit of the pupils, which includes sporting equipment and maintenance of the School van. The governors are extremely grateful for the energetic and enthusiastic activities of these parents whose efforts add significantly to the facilities in the School.

Investment Performance

Surplus funds are kept in suitable interest-bearing accounts, with £1,377 (2021; £285) being received in interest during the year.

Results

The results for the year show income from tuition fees of £4,083,817 (2021; £3,536,568) and a net profit of £334,090 (2021; £249,685). This gives a surplus to carry forward of £2,645,540 (2021; £2,311,450) of which £2,590,241 (2021; £2,256,151) is in the General fund and £55,299 (2021: £55,299) is in the Development fund.

KINGSWOOD HOUSE SCHOOL TRUST LIMITED

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 August 2022

Scholarships, bursaries and discounts totalled £377,130 (2021; £395,144) of which bursaries and scholarships amounted to £321,742 (2021; £369,802) and discounts £55,388 (2021; £25,342). The Bursary scheme is available for pupils whose parents are having financial difficulty and each case is assessed separately giving particular attention to the benefits of the child. Scholarships are given to exceptional students and are awarded to pupils in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9, bo th external and internal, following successful completion of the Scholarship exam.

THE RESERVES POLICY

The policy of the governors is to maintain adequate free reserves by means of appropriate financial management consistent with the development and improvement of the resources of the School.

The level of reserves is reviewed at least annually.

COMMUNITY RELATIONS AND CHARITABLE DONATIONS

During the year many charities approach us to support their needs. It is our policy to support charities that work with children, whenever we can. Our main fundraising comes from our "House Days". The boys in each House put forward and speak to their peers and staff members about charities that they felt passionate about and the House vote on one they would like to support. They organised a fun day with activities and games at lunch time. Last academic year, we supported Success Charity, which provides rehabilitation and care for children who survive brain tumours, Barnados, Cherry Trees, a small charity providing specialist short breaks/respite for children and young people aged 0-19 with complex disabilities, and Make a Wish Foundation which aims to grant a wish to every critically ill child.

In addition to House Days, we supported various other charities throughout the year:

Young Minds - Mental Health Awareness Day

They endeavour to fight for children and young people's mental health. They want to see a world where every young person who is struggling feels able to reach out and has people and services around them who can really help.

Macmillan - Staff Coffee Morning

Since Douglas Macmillan founded the charity in 1911, they have grown to be the UK's leading source of cancer support, helping more and more people living with cancer.

Age Concern - Harvest Festival

Age Concern is a local independent community charity who are focused on empowering older people to live the most fulfilling lives they can. They provide many services including information and advice, medical transport, foot clinic, social support and befriending to those who feel isolated and lonely.

Save the Children - Christmas Jumper Day

In the UK and around the world we make sure children are safe and healthy. Save the Children support them to learn, grow and become who they want to be. They lead the way on tackling problems like pneumonia, hunger and protecting children in war, while making sure each child's unique needs are cared for.

The Alternatives Trust - Christmas Collection

The Alternatives Trust East London is a small charity that empowers vulnerable families to transform their lives. A small dedicated team gives long-term, intensive support to women and their children.

The School has also continued to provide support to Lungi Sierra Leone, who aim to advance education and training, relieve poverty and distress and promote health, and The Royal Marsden Research into Sarcoma in children.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

We are a member of The National Association of Gifted Children and are registered with Crested (Council for the Registration of Schools teaching dyslexic pupils).

  1. As a matter of policy, we provide access to our education to children from less affluent backgrounds. In the past year we have provided financial help to 85 pupils in the School, at a cost of, £377,130 which includes discount given to siblings of £16,573. Bursaries amount to 5.1% of the total fee income.

The governors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The purpose of this statement is to distinguish the governors' responsibilities for the accounts from those of the auditors as stated in their report.

o Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently o Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP o Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent

o State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures discovered and explained in the financial statements

o Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation

The governors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy

at any time the financial position of the charitable 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The governors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF KINGSWOOD HOUSE SCHOOL TRUST LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Kingswood House School Trust Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 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 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 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

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.

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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Page 11

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF KINGSWOOD HOUSE SCHOOL TRUST LIMITED

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the 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 Report of the Trustees.

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

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 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 12

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF KINGSWOOD HOUSE SCHOOL TRUST LIMITED

Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Page 13

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF KINGSWOOD HOUSE SCHOOL TRUST LIMITED

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

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 Report of the Independent Auditors.

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 the charitable company's 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 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The validity of this assumption depends upon the agreement of a new lease on the property referred to in note 17 to these financial statements.

Fee income

Fees of the charity consist of charges for the year to parents for tuition and lunches, less bursaries, scholarships and allowances. Where fees are invoiced in advance for a future period, these are shown in creditors.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Teaching blocks & lab - 5% on cost Astro turf - Straight line over 7 years Car park & field - 5% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fee Debtors

Fee debtors represent fees invoiced for the year, which remain unpaid as at the year end, and do not include fees outstanding for a future period although they may have been invoiced before the year end, but remain unpaid at that date.

Students' personal computer equipment

The School acquires a personal tablet on behalf of each pupil in years 7 - 10 and year 11 pupils will retain their personal tablet until they leave in the summer. This policy changed in September 2022 and the whole cost of the personal tablets are collected on the first term's fees. Amounts due to the school under this arrangement are included in other debtors.

In previous years, The School acquired a personal tablet on behalf of each pupil in year 9 and above and the cost was recovered over the following three years. Amounts due to the school under this arrangement are included in other debtors.
