that, to feel safe, happy and seeure, young people need 8gency, flexibility and r&speet rather thau the system5 of

The operatiiig sllrplus and increase to reserves have seen R return to a sustainable level. TheiE
has bcen an incirase in eapital additions getting Closer to anniial depreeiatioii and retuining
to a model of rolliiig refurbighment. Ihe nun]bers reeognis8 a year wliere the School aillied to
operate to a balanced blldget to support parcnts and grow the existing comnlunity. The
numbers above show how strong the School's rese￿e5 ¥Lre. Th8.8d]ool has no borrowings. As
this is a 13 rnonth period, the results are reduced by month 13) August 2025 where no fees
income is recorded and therels a moiith of net expeiidiLuL"e luk. tlie Sdiool, the main cost8 being
salary eosts. If the year end had not been ejrtendea, c]osing reserves would have ended with
Teserves close to £5m, as a school with a July year end. Chaiigin8 to a year end wliieh matcbes
the academic year helps with more accurate forecasting and budgeting.
Financial Viability and Reserves Level and Policy
'Ilie School's reserves policy is to maintain suffiLiLnl unrestrieted income reserves to enable it
to iIieet its short-teiTh financial obligations in the event of an iinexpected revenue shortfall
taking into account annual and longer-term capital expendltl￿e plans in coiijunction witti
access lo external financing. The Group's total i'escrves were £15,934k (2024; £16,31311) at
the year-end. £11,1251< (2024: £11,047k) of this represeutea the net book value of fixed assets
leaving free rese￿eS of £4,784k (2024: £3,55ik) ill the year-end. This compares with a policy
level of £2,7ook (2024- £2,704lc) whieh would provide cover for lip tn three months. operating
costs (2024: three months). The Trustees, policy ib not to n]aintain free resernes in its wholly
owned bubsidiary. The Governors regularly review the levels of reserves.

detailed Consideration of risk 18 dclcgated to the Head and the Director of Finance and
Operations. Risl<s are identified and assessed and controls established throughout the year,
In die opinion of the governors t.he School has estxblished systems of internal eontrols and
other viable means inc.luding insuraE]ce cover which, unde.r noTmal conditions, should allow
all risks to be mall￿ed to an acceptable level in it.q day to day operations. It is TeeoBnised that
syste.ms Can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major rislis have been
adequately managed,
The governors fornially review Tisk at all Sllb-eommittee meetings as a standing agenda item
a includes each sllb committee's risk. Areas of particular concern are highlishted to
the main Board through the dissen]ination of a 'Top Ri.qlL8' paper which draws on the whole

F,xternal, Finance, Governance, Operations and Compliance rislcs. In addition, the entire Tisk

with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which Trye are requii*d to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and underst&naing of the eharitable company and its
environment obtaine.d in the coiirse of the audit, we have nol identified material
misstaten]ents in the Governors, Report indlldii￿ the Stiategic Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies
Aet 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our OPillkOn'.
the parent charitsble company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting
recoTds, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branehes not

Responsibllities of ttwtees
As explained more fully in the Governors, Responsibilities Statement, the Governors (who
are dlso the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are
responsible foL the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they
give a true and fair Nryew, and for such inteimal control as the Governo￿ determine is
npe.p,88ary to enable the preparation of finaiicial statements that are free ft'om n]dleri81
Mi￿tate1nent, whether due to fralld or error.
In preparing the financial staternents, the Governors aTe responsible for assessing the
Group's and the parent Charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern,
disdostng, as applicable, matteTS related to going concern and llsing tlie going concern basis
of aeeouTrting unless the Governors either iutend to liquidate the Group or the parent
charitable company or to eease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors, responsibilities foi. the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obiaAn reasonable assurance about whether the fiiianeial 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 ib a liigh level of
assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in acCoraan￿ Mqth ISAS (UK) will
23

Independent Auditoi's, Repurt to the Members of Frensham Helghts

foi. thL PeiYoa Ended 31 August 2025
alway8 detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
erior and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on tile basis of thcse financial
statenients.
Because of the iiiherent limitations of an audit, there is a ris1( that we will Tkot detect all
ITregularities, including those lea(ling to a material tnisstatemenl in the financial statements
or non-compliance with regulation. This ris1< inereases the rnore that Compliance with a law
oi. regulation is removed froin the events and transactions reflected in the financial
statements, as we will be lebs, likely to become aware ot"instaiiccs of non-eompliaiice.
The ri.sk is also greater regarding irregularities occui'ring due to fralld rather than eTror, a8
fraud involves irktentioiial concealment, forgery, eollusion, omission or misrepresentatkon.
The speeifie procedures for this engagement that we designed ana performed to detect
material misstatements ITL respect of irre.giilarities, inelllding fraud, were as follows;
Enquiiy of managetnent and those chaiged with govei'nance around actual and
potential litigation and claiins-
Eiiquiry of management and those d￿rged with governatt￿ to identify any material
instances of non-coinpliance with laws and regulations,.
Reviewing financial statement disclosllres and testing to supporting doeumentation
to assess coinplianee with applirable laws and regulations.
Performing audit worlc to address the risk of irregularities due to management
override of controls, including testiiig of journal entries aiid other adjustmeiits for
appropriateness, ev￿llatIng the business rationale of signifieant transactions outside
the norn]al course of bii.8iness and reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of
bias.

2. Aceounting Policies Icontinued)
Expenditure
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, discounted to present value for
longer-term liabilities. Certain expenditure is apportioned to LOSI categories based on the estimat¢d
amount atti'ibutable to the aL*ivity in the year. The irrecoverable eleu]ellt of VAT is included with
the item of expense to which it relates.
Raising tunds comprise those costs diyecdy attributable Iv Llitt LL'£iaiiis subsidiary (Note 4).
Sllppoit costs comprise a PTOPOrtion of staff costs together with a proportioii of overheads of the
School. Governance costs are those incllired in connectLDlI With the governatLce of the SLhool ana
co￿p1]d￿Ce Mryth eonstitlltional and slatutory requirements.
All expenditure up until 31 December 2024 is recognised indusive of irreeoverable VAT. Due to a
change in legislation, from the i January 2025, the Charity ha8 beconLeVAT registered and
expenditure is now reeognised net of reclaimable VAT.

Peiision schemes
During the yeaT, the School contributed to the TeacheTS' Pension Definea Benefits Scheme at rates
set by the Scheme Aetiiary and advised to the Board by the Scheme Administrator. The scheme is a
multi-employer pension .qeheine and it is not possible to identify the assets and liabilities of the
sche.me whieh are attributable to the School. In aecordanee Mryth FRS102 tberefore, the scheme is
accounted for as a detined eoiitriblltion scberne. As a result of the agreement to fully withdraw fro
TPS, contributions ceased effective from 31 December 2024.
The School conttibutes to the Royal London Group Personal Pension Plan, a defLned contribution
schen]e, which the School establishea as the official alternative to thc TPS under the Phased

Life Groiip Personal Pension Scheme, which complkes with the requirenients for a Stal(eholder
Pension Scheme.
