Strategic Report
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The focus of the lalesl review of Principle Risks document was to identfy Tnore current risk5 associated with i=urrent
economic conditions, most notably inflationary pressures, interest rate changes, the introduction of VAT on school fees
and the abolishing of the business rates relief. After extensive modelling. the school is adjusting its future budgets to
account for the increased costs of maintaining the highest level of education for the children.
In addition, the Governors continue to review not only the application of statutory compliance and best Practice, bul
also the other major risks lo which the School is exposed and they ensure that controls are pul in place to n)iligate
those risks. The School's Risk Management Register detsils risk exposure including its Objects, Charity L<lW and
Regulation. Governance and Management, External Influences. Environmental Health & Safety, Operab"onal
Processes, Technologica5, Academic. Pastoral. Financial, Invesbnenl and Privacy. Risks have been allocated to the
individual Govemor Committees for review at their lemily meetsngs. Prinrypal risks include loss of reputation leading lo
a drop in pupil numbers_ This is mitigated first and foremost by a broad and balanced curriculum which celivers
progress and ￿SUlts. The school also has strong safeguarding procedures. works to maintain a posib.ve profile in the
community and operates an excellent stsff perforrnan￿ and development programme lo maintain high calibre qlaff. In
addition, it invests in stringent financial modelling to capture emerging trends early in order lo rebalance the impact of
changing pupil numbers. Also identified as a principal risk is the risk of financial mismanagement which is milig<iled by
strong internal controls. detailed financial budgeting and m￿jelling of long lemi cash flow forecasts and regular reviews
by Governors. More recently, VAT on school fees has been added to the Risk Management Register and has been
extensively modelled. The Governors are confident Ihal risks are minimised and maintained within acceptable
tolerances.
The Governors have no financial interest in the Charity and re￿1ve no remuneration from the Charity.

Acllvlties, Achievements and Perfomian¢e
The company fulfils its charitable objectives by running Hazelwood School, an independent Pre-prep and
Preparatory School for boys and girLs aged 4 to 13 years. In shaping our objectives for the year 2023-24 and
planning the school's activities. the Governors are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit
including the document. 'Public Benefit: running a charity IP21' In order to deliver the charitable objects, tie
school offers a limited number of grant-assisted places which are made avaitable to local tamilies whose l inancial
positions would not otherwise allow them to consider Hazelwood School for their childlchildren. Moreovei., the
School employs individuals and owns buildings whose expertise. accommodation and facilities are made
available to local and communitv oroanisations therebv deliverin2 Dublic benefit.
In 2023124 we investe(J in our outdoor play provision working in partnership with our HPA to fund a playgroundltrim
trail for our children in the lower school. in addition to investment in our sports facilities including a new long
jump, improvements to pitches and safer access to New Field. and equipmentfor our swimming pool.
We continued with our IT renewal programme investing in newVR sets. ipads and Chromebooks as well as.
whiteboards and screens in various classrooms across the site.
Improvements to the site included the creation of a Wellbeing Hub creating a wonderful safe space for oui.
children. and a centr81 hub for our children with special educational needs and disabilities. In addition. wi:
extended our Willow car park creating 29 additional parking spaces which has positively impacted our traffic
mana%ement at peaktimes.
In Summer 2024, ouryear 8 pupils achieved some ofthe best Common Entrance results in many years, with 100%
scoring A'_C in all levels of paper and over 50% pupils achieving at least 1 A". Considering the underlying ¢lbility of
the cohort laverage MidYIS 104 and CAT4 1151, these scores are very impressive.
Phase 2 of our vision was shared in July 2024. where we have consolidated our research. efforts, and beliefs into 8
Learning Wheel. The Learning Wheel encapsulates our beliefs while firmly pointing to the f uture, our childi-en's
future. reflecting howwe empower our pupils-and indeed allour people at Hazelwood-by expandingthe
definition of what constitutes an innovative education. This is an education that embraces the pace of chEnge
while treasuring and celebrating a wholesome childhood.
Our Learning Wheel will guide us as we stay on the cutting edge of education. It ensures our children are equipped
for a future defined by adaptability. emotional intelligence. innovation. and problem-solving. With people always
at its heart. our goal is clear.. to create an environment where every pupil can thrive and every possibility ic within
reach.The learning wheel has six interconnected strands= people centred, harnessing Al, real world relevance.
flexible classrooms, adaptive approaches and wellbeing and me.
Our commitmentto wellbeing is reflected in the newwellbeing Hub, which opened in July 2024. a dedicated
space for SEN, counselling. mental health support. and nurturing the whole child. Staff training is undetW,'3y to
increase the number of qualified staff available to assess and support needs.
During the Summer Term, pupils participated in the County Athletics competition. with the under 12 girls i-elay
team placing first overall and qualifying for the national finals. where they reached the final.
There were also some individual victories for one particular pupil in longjump and hurdles at county level. which
resulted in national final participation in which she won the hurdles event and made it to the final ot the long jump.
The School has18unched a brand new website which will create an engaging and inspirational site that wi.1
encapsulate Hazelwood values and vision. The site will also setve to promote our facilities for lettings purposes to
help maximise commercial revenue as well as community benefit opportunities.
Public Benefit
The school continues to follow its Bursary Pobcy. making a limited number of assisted places available to those
farnilies whose financial circumstances woul(J not allow them to consider an education at Hazelwood Scliool.
Lettings and the Community
The Hazelwood Community Fund, which is an initiative set up pre covid to donate funds to local community
projects, was re-energised this year and after depleting its balance in the previous year. started to replenish its
coffers in order to make further donations. The first beneficiary this year was a local primary school and it is hoped
that with more fundraising next year. the school can grow this initiative back to pre covid levels.
Lettings have continued to show a strong growth this year and the launch of School Hire. which enables us to
advertise our facilities across the UK. has seen a number of new regular hirers using our facilities as well dd hoc
users from the local community. The roll out of this system has eliminated our debtors and streamlined
administration.

certain disclosures of Governors, remuneration specified by law a￿ not made- or

Responsibilities of Governors
As explained more fully in the Governors, responsibilities statement sel out on page 6, the Govemors {who are also the
directors of the Parent Charitsble Company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and for being salisf1ed that they give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as the
Governors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misslatemenl, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the linancial statements. the Govemors are responsible for assessing the Group and Parent Charitable
Company's ability lo continue a5 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 Group or Parent Charitable Compary
or lo cease operations, or have no realistic allemalive but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial ststements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial stalements as a whole are free froin
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an audrtor's report that inciudes our opinion. Reasonab e
assuran￿ 15 a high level of assuran￿, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will
always delècl a material misstslement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considerEd
material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of useiB
tsken on the basis of these fi'nancial slalements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI we exercise professional judgement and maintsin professional scepticism
throughout the audit. We also..
Identify and assess the risks of material misslatemenl of the financial ststements. whether due lo fraud or error, desicn
and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. and obtain audit evidence Ihat is sufficient and appropriate -.o
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resultsng from fraud is higher than fi)r
one resulting from error. as fraud may involve collusion, fofgery, intents.onal omissions, misrepresentations, or trie
override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audtt in order to design audtt procedures that are appropria=e
in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group and Pareit
Charitable Company's internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related
disclosures rnade by the trustees.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Governors, use of the going concern basis of accounting and. based on tFie
audit eviden￿ obtained. whether a material Un￿rtaInty exis15 related to events or conditions that may cast significait
doubt on the Group and Parent Charitable Company's ability lo continue as a going concem_ If we conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in ltrie
financial slalemenls or, rf such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on Ikie
audit evidence obtained up to the dale of our auditor's report. However. future events or conditions may cause ltrie
Group or Parent Charitable Company to cease to conb.nue as a going concem.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements. including the disclosure5, and
whether the financial statements represent the undedying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
pre5entslion.

Independent Auditors. Report to the Members of
Hazelwood School
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit eviden￿ regarding the financial information of the entities or business ai=Iivities
within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidaled financÉal statements. We are responsible for the dii-ection,
supervision and perf0rrnan￿ of the group audit. We ￿maIn solely responsible for our audit report.
We communicate with those charged with g0Veman￿ regarding. among other matters, the planned scope and tiining of
the audit and significanl audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in intemal control that we identify during our
audrt.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was consldered capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud
Irregularities, inclLJding fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedureq, in line
with our responsibilittes, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraijd. The
extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularilies. including fraud is detailed below.
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, a￿- to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial slatemenls due to fraud., to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of rnaterial
misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks,. and to
respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the Jrirnary
responsibility for the prevenlion and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governan
of the charitable company.
Our approach was as follows"
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable company and
considered that the most significant are Ithe Companies Act 2006. the Charities Act 2011. the Charity SORP, and UK
financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Councill
We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requirements by discussic,ns with
management and those charged g0veman￿.
We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the finanual statements, including the risk of material missLitement
due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those Charged with governance.
We inquired of management and those charged with g0veMan￿ as to any known instances of non-compliance or
suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Based on this understanding. we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances ,)f non-
compliance with laws and regulations. This incluijed making enquiries of management and those charg2d with
governance and obtaining addthonal corroborative evidence as required.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instan￿s
of non-complian￿ with laws and regulations Ihat are not dosely related to events and transaclions reflecte(l in the
financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstalement due to fraud is higher than the ris1( of not
detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate ￿n￿alment by. for example. forgery or inLJntional
misrepresentations, or through collusion.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the chaTitsble companls members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of P¢rt 16 of
the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable cornpany's
members those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditorfs report and for no olher purpose. To the
fullest extent pemitted by law. we do not ac￿pt or assume responsibility lo any paty other than the charitable o)mpany
and charitable company's members as a body, for our audit woth, for this reporL or for the opinions we have forme.d.
