REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

History, Constitution and Trustees

The School is a day school for girls aged between 11 and 18. The charity was founded by Sir William Godolphin by a Deed dated 21 December 1703, further regulated by the will of Elizabeth Godolphin made in 1724, and augmented out of the endowment of the Latymer Foundation in 1903. The charity was regulated by a Scheme created on 23 December 1903 which was replaced by a Scheme created on 29 September 1977 with amendment on 14 July 1986. A further amendment was made on 14 April 1999 under which the Foundation became the Sole Trustee of the School, and its directors became the School’s Governing Body. Additional amendments were made on 9 May 2005, to allow the purchase of indemnity insurance on behalf of the Governing Body, and, on 20 June 2008, regarding the School’s borrowing powers.

The Governing Body of the School may comprise one Governor, nominated as an Heir of Sir William Godolphin (a Nominated Governor) and not more than nineteen Governors co-opted by resolution of the Governors in office at the time (Co-opted Governors).

All Governors are appointed for four-year terms. A Nominated Governor is eligible for reappointment without limit; Co-opted Governors are eligible for reappointment for a further term of four years and, in exceptional circumstances, for a further four-year term or terms. Two Co-opted Governors who have children in the School may be appointed as ‘Parent Governors’ for four years or until they no longer have a child in the School, whichever is the lesser term. Such Governors may subsequently be appointed under the ordinary provisions relating to Co-opted Governors, service as a Parent Governor being ignored.

The members of the Governing Body who served in the year under review are shown above under ‘Directors and Trustees - Governors of the School’. The Directors of the Foundation are also its Members and serve as Trustees of that charity and as Governors of the School.

Governance and Management

The Governors, as the Trustees of the Foundation, are legally responsible for the overall management and control of the School, and meet, as a minimum, during each school term.

Day-to-day management

The day-to-day education and pastoral care of pupils and the appointment and management of teaching staff is delegated to the Head Mistress, Dr Frances Ramsey, who is supported by a Senior Leadership Team. Responsibility for the non-teaching staff and for the School’s financial management and premises is delegated to the Bursar, Mrs Diana Lynch. Meetings of the Governors are attended by the Head Mistress, the Bursar and the Deputy Heads, Mrs Anna Paul (Senior Deputy Head, Pastoral) and Dr Sara Harnett (Deputy Head, Curriculum and Academic Matters) and they and other senior members of staff attend meetings of Governors’ committees.

The Governors consider that they, together with the Head, the Bursar and the two Deputy Head’s comprise the Key Management Personnel. The Governors give of their time freely and the pay and remuneration of the Head and senior staff is set by the Senior Salaries Committee and is kept under annual review. A number of criteria are used in setting pay:

3

In recent years, flexible pay in the sector has affected the ease of recruitment to certain roles and the School intends to be in the upper quartile for pay for senior roles in the independent school sector.

The Governors have given delegated authority to the Head to pay higher salaries for exceptional candidates where this is in the interest of the School.

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

For matters concerning the School other than those for which the Head Mistress is responsible, the Governors have established committees with specific objectives; a minimum of two Governors sit on each committee. As appropriate, these committees either pass down decisions to the School’s executive management under delegated authority from the Governors, or refer matters for decision to the Governing Body. The principal committees are:

Recruitment and training of Governors

Before seeking new Governors, the Policy and Governance Committee will be guided by the relevant competence, experience and specialist skills sought by the Governing Body from any new Governor. New Governors are appointed only after interview by the committee and after consideration of the committee’s findings by all Governors. Vacancies for the position of Parent Governor are notified to all parents, and all candidates are interviewed and assessed under the same criteria as for non-Parent Governors. After appointment, all new Governors are given appropriate guidance on all aspects of the School’s operations and their own role and responsibilities; access is provided to outside courses on Trusteeship and related matters.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Governing Body is responsible for overseeing the risk management process conducted by the School. Review of risk is delegated to the Health, Safety and Risk Management Committee; the Head, Bursar, Designated Safeguarding Lead, Senior Teacher (School Organisation) and the Assistant Bursar (Compliance) are members of this committee. A formal review of the major risks envisaged for the School (including regulatory and compliance matters) is undertaken annually by the Senior Leadership Team, under which the systems and procedures that control and mitigate risks are considered and discussed as necessary. The results are then reviewed and discussed further by the Health, Safety and Risk Management Committee before being reported to the full Governing Body.

The Governors have assessed the major risks to which the School is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the School’s exposure to the major risks. Such risks and controls are reviewed on a regular basis in order to mitigate any impact that they may have on the School in the future.

The main risks that the Governors have identified are those of:

looking for ways to reduce costs, generate additional income and fundraise in order to offset any financial impact.

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

The Godolphin and Latymer School Bursary Fund (the “Bursary Fund”)

The Bursary Fund is a separate charity (charity number 1187911) whose aims include the advancement of the charitable objects of the School. The Bursary Fund makes sums available to the School each year to enable the School to supplement the means-tested bursaries that it awards; it has also loaned funds to the School and the Foundation at commercial rates of interest to help fund development of the School’s facilities. The Governors appoint two Trustees to the Bursary Fund, and other Governors may serve as Trustees provided that Governors do not constitute the majority of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objects

The ‘Object’ of the Foundation (the School’s Sole Trustee) is to advance the education of the public, under which it is empowered to provide for the instruction of the School’s pupils and their ‘spiritual, moral, mental and physical training’. The School’s Object as a charity, as set out in its Scheme, is ‘the provision and conduct of a day school for girls’.

Aims

The School’s overriding aim is to provide the girls with an outstanding education. Through the lessons and activities in which they participate, the girls learn for life. They develop habits of mind that promote curiosity and initiative, intellectual rigour and independence of thought, reflective learning and flexible thinking, the ability to maintain an open mind and to reach a balanced judgement. They achieve excellent examination results and follow the higher education pathway of their choice at leading institutions in the UK and beyond.

The School recognises that all the girls are different and it aims to provide each one with a stimulating and enjoyable education. It offers an exciting range of intellectual, creative and physical challenges and opportunities, encouraging the development of individual passions and particular skills alongside the self-esteem and confidence with which to succeed in unfamiliar situations.

The School’s long history of providing education for girls from a wide range of backgrounds creates an enriching and inclusive atmosphere. Within this principled, caring and friendly community, girls learn to lead, to work together for mutual benefit, to communicate clearly and to forge firm friendships.

The School encourages girls to learn about local, national and global issues, from which it believes they become considerate, compassionate and courageous young women who fully expect to take active responsibility for the community and the environment in which they live, as well as for themselves, both now and in the future.

Objectives for the Year

Principal Activity

The School offers to all the girls both a broad and balanced academic curriculum and extracurricular activities, where both are considered to be necessary components of a good general education. The academic curriculum includes the option of the International Baccalaureate. The School seeks to challenge the girls intellectually and to encourage independent thought, by making available to them a wide range of academic and non-academic opportunities, including outreach programmes which provide involvement with, and support to, the wider community.

Public Benefit

The Charities Act 2006, having withdrawn the legal presumption that education in itself offers benefit to the public at large, placed an obligation on the School to demonstrate that it provides ‘Public Benefit’ as part of its provision of education as a charity in a fee-charging environment.

7

In setting the School’s objectives and in their establishment of management of the School, the Governors have paid due regard to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Commission.

Grant Making

The Governors recognise that independent school fees are at levels which may exclude many children from applying for a place, but they are committed to widening access to the education offered. Accordingly, they advertise the availability of bursary awards. The value of any award is determined on a means-tested basis and reviewed annually.

8

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

For the year ended 31 August 2022 78 means-tested bursaries were awarded during the year to the value of £1,536,651 (2021: £1,490,638).

Community and Partnership links

The School strives to be a good neighbour in the local and wider community and the Governors facilitate access to the school’s resources in a number of ways. The school supports a programme of meaningful, mutually-beneficial partnerships with organisations including student-nominated charities, access to sports facilities for local primary schools, access to teaching, resources and academic enrichment for primary school children, and access to Higher Education support for secondary school pupils. This programme is a core element of the broad, enriching education offered at Godolphin and Latymer and shares importance with the school’s formal, timetabled curriculum.

Community links and service outside the school offer avenues for personal, ethical and social development for the pupils, alongside the formal academic, artistic and sporting curriculum, and as such are an integral aspect of the school’s aim to provide a fully rounded education for the pupils and support for outside groups.

Students pursued a host of volunteering opportunities in their local communities as part of their Duke of Edinburgh award schemes and collectively were awarded a certificate of social value for donating 3,250 hours of voluntary service between 1 April 2021 and 30 March 2022.

We received an overwhelming response from our community to our appeal for emergency items for refugees from Ukraine, and parents, staff and students rowed 50 miles in relay and wrote messages in a montage of SUPPORT raising over £7,300 for the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. One Lower Sixth student organised a charity concert at St Paul’s Church in Covent Garden and performed with other Godolphin students to raise £3,788 for the Red Cross in Ukraine.

Students studying the International Baccalaureate have organised and taken part in the following activities as part of their Creativity, Action and Service (CAS) projects:

9

The Social Impact Project invites students to design an individual or group project that has the potential to improve the lives of others and includes proposed impact of the project, implementation strategy, the likely costs, and plans to sustain the project beyond the students' time at the school. The culmination of the project is the Social Impact Prize where students present their ideas to our judging panel.

Launched in September 2020, the Social Impact Committee establishes goals that are important to the school community and then researches organisations to further these aims, educating themselves and then diffusing that knowledge throughout the school, through form time ‘short courses’ and assemblies, prior to fundraising.

10

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

The committee comprises approximately 20 students from the Sixth form with the Lower Sixth focusing on educational sessions in the Lower school and the Upper Sixth working in groups to launch a variety of fundraising and educational projects. This year has mainly focused on the plight of refugees and the girls have worked with Thoughtbox, Rights for Refugees, the Refugee Community Kitchen as well as fundraising and collecting items for Ukraine. The mission statement drawn up by the committee for next year is ‘changing stereotypes and issues both globally and in our community by creating a tangible impact, educating and inspiring the next generation of globally minded citizens’.

Ancient World Breakfast Club

Every Friday during term time, the school hosts the Ancient World Breakfast Club (AWBC). This has a membership of over 250 people drawn from across west London, while it is also open to pupils and staff. The club is fortunate to have gained a national reputation within the fields of Classics and Ancient History, and regularly attracts speakers who are leaders in their fields, as well as new scholars seeking to make their mark. The club continues to receive support within School, with both staff and pupils regularly attending.

The AWBC continued throughout the pandemic by switching the usual lectures to ‘podcasts’ and the podcasts were made widely available. After a gap of 19 months it was fantastic to welcome the members and speakers back on-site at Godolphin and this year’s programme included a talk from Dr Peter Jones who was the Club’s very first external speaker back in the Autumn of 2005.

Primary Sports Partnerships

The School provides opportunities for primary pupils to use its sports facilities and every Monday morning thirty Year 4 or Year 5 boys and girls and the PE teachers from West London Free School Primary take part in netball training, wall climbing, trampolining and Karate in our Sports Hall. An Upper Sixth student, with support from other Years 9, 10 and Sixth Form students, continued to run their primary school sport initiative, Step up to Sport. The partnership gives local pupils the chance to try different sports and learn the skills they need to pursue high level sport in secondary school. This fun and engaging initiative gives local state school children the opportunity to make full use of the facilities and equipment at Godolphin. During the sessions, more than 30 Year 5 pupils from West London Free School and Earls Court Free School Primary took part in training and skills for netball, cricket and football.

The Bridge Programme

Our Bridge academic enrichment programme for Year 5 girls and boys from local primary schools was launched in January 2020 with 44 children and continued remotely during the national lockdowns, expanding to 72 children from 24 primary schools for January 2021. Pupils attend one Saturday morning each month for Maths and English lessons and other subjects on rotation, and the programme includes a booster week in August and one during the October half-term break to help with 11+ preparation. Lower Sixth Godolphin students provide invaluable learning support for pupils and teachers during the Saturday morning sessions. As a result of the programme, most of the students from our 2021 programme applied for places and bursaries at independent secondary schools in London and three are joining Godolphin and Latymer in September 2022, following in the footsteps of the three currently in Year 7. Over 80 students have joined the 2022 programme.

Our Partnership with Kensington Aldridge Academy

The School continues to be a joint educational partner with the Kensington Aldridge Academy (KAA). The aim of the partnership is to share best practice regarding educational excellence across both schools. In 2021-2022 the pastoral teams from both schools met twice to share

11

good practice and monitor patterns and trends in pastoral care. Senior team members met to discuss ways in which to share best practice around leadership approaches. In June 2022 our Science department hosted several science teachers from KAA for a day so that they could observe lessons and discuss teaching and learning matters with our colleagues; this was a formal contribution to KAA’s professional development programme for their staff. Senior members of staff from both schools met to discuss ways in which the vision and values of both schools can be communicated effectively. As per previous years, we invited KAA students to attend our Challenge Your Limits Week in the summer term 2022, which focuses on promoting the importance of resilience for young people.

12

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

KAA students, along with students from West London Free School and St Pauls, attended our Challenge Your Limits 2022 talk from Sir Jim Smith, former Director of Science at the Wellcome Trust and visiting Group Leader at the Francis Crick Institute, who spoke to us about his group's research into using stem cells for restorative medicine. Our English department liaised with KAA about setting up a joint literary society event. We continue to maintain links with KAA for debating opportunities for students in both schools. This year our Art department gave a significant amount of textile-based materials to the Art and Drama departments at KAA.

The Director of Sixth Form has been liaising with his counterpart at KAA and the Higher Education team invites students to a variety of events. The School supports KAA students with Higher Education and Careers advice in a number of different ways. For example, KAA students are offered practice Oxbridge interviews. In 2021-2022 KSS secured its highest ever number of Oxbridge offers and we were delighted to have supported the school with their Oxbridge interview preparation. In 2021-2022 we gave practice interviews to all of their medical applicants and we also provide ongoing support for their US applicants.

In 2022-2023 we will be providing Mandarin A Level for one student from KAA. She will join lessons with our students weekly.

Oxbridge Maths Preparation Sessions

Teachers from the Maths department link up with Magdalen College School to conduct mock interviews for state school students from Oxfordshire and beyond for Maths, Computer Science and Engineering. Maths preparation worksheets are issued and feedback given over the six weeks of summer. In Summer 2021 pupils attended from Oxford, Liverpool, Telford, Leeds, Chelmsford, Nottingham, Liverpool, Kingston upon Thames, Bournemouth, Bromley and Warrington and our teachers conducted thirteen interviews.

Ogden Trust

The School continued to be part of the Ogden Trust, working with KAA, Sacred Heart, WLFS in a secondary school partnership aiming to promote Physics by providing physics-focused CPD for staff and activities for pupils. A member of the School’s Physics department has attended half termly meetings to encourage the uptake of Physics, through sharing ideas and assisting local secondary schools to run physics-related events in their schools.

Public examinations

Public examinations were held in all pathways in 2022, with a partial adjustment in grading standards in a planned two-year return to the standards in place in 2019 before the pandemic disruption. The A Level cohort achieved excellent results with 60% of grades awarded A and 91% of grades awarded A/A. This year’s IB candidates again achieved exceptional marks, with an average score of 42.6 points out of a total 45 points. Six students achieved the maximum score of 45, and 15 of the 28 candidates achieved a score of 43 or above. These A Level and IB results have enabled 96% of pupils to secure their first-choice university place , either in the UK or abroad. The GCSE results were also excellent: at the time of writing, with some reviews outstanding, 89% of grades were awarded Grade 9/8 and 98% were graded 9-7.

Curriculum

The School is committed to offering a broad and relevant choice of subjects and the curriculum is kept under regular review. Some important changes have been introduced for 2022-2023, arising from a review of the Lower School curriculum:

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Pre-U qualifications are being withdrawn and therefore the School is offering Mandarin A Level from September 2022.

Contribution of Teaching

Through quality teaching, the School aims to challenge pupils intellectually and foster independent thought and learning. The School strives for academic excellence in a stimulating and exciting learning environment in which all pupils are encouraged to take intellectual risks without fear of failure.

Godolphin and Latymer is a research-informed school where staff keep up to date with the latest developments in educational research and adapt ideas to the specific context of our School. Several members of staff are fellows of the Chartered College of Teaching and we have contributed articles to their journal, Impact . To facilitate conversations around researchinformed practice, we have run a series of voluntary teacher learning communities since September 2016. In 2021-22, there were five teacher learning communities, looking at behaviour and culture, feedback, activating hard thinking, developing literacy and Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction; as in previous years, these learning communities have been immensely valuable in supporting teachers to develop their teaching practice in innovative ways. Alongside the teacher learning communities, student learning communities have run for Year 10 and the Lower Sixth. The student learning communities have proved an excellent way to encourage dialogue around learning, both between the pupils themselves and between the pupils and teachers. Students have worked with external speakers, most recently researcher Jonathan Firth and Bradley Busch from Inner Drive, and have the opportunity to give feedback to their year-groups in assemblies. A particular highlight this year was the Year 10 students planning and delivering sessions for Year 7 on ‘Learning with the brain in mind’. Both teacher and student learning communities will continue in 2022-2023.

Godolphin and Latymer recognises the importance of preparing students for the world they will be entering when they leave school and the School’s approach to technology is no different; technology will be part of their lives in the future and we believe it is essential to embrace the opportunities that recent innovations in technology provide. Every pupil and member of the teaching staff in the School has their own iPad. Our emphasis has always been on a blended learning approach where technology is used alongside more traditional teaching methods, and our pedagogy first approach remained in place during this period despite the obvious need for increased use of digital tools. Each department has a designated iPad link and regular iPad link sharing sessions are offered to staff where good practice around the use of technology linked to current research is discussed.

Staff Development

The School remains an environment with learning at its heart. This extends to the staff for whom voluntary continuing professional development is popular. Enjoying a post-lockdown return to a range of opportunities, over 90% opted to undertake activities to enhance their performance in the classroom as well as in their pastoral roles. As well as many Heads of Department who have taken the Independent Schools Qualification in Academic Management at Levels 1 and 2, we have also encouraged two prospective heads of department to develop their skills through this programme. We also support pastoral leaders to undertake the Pastoral Leadership Qualification. All Heads of Year have undertaken Level 1, and six have undertaken Level 2. Two colleagues undertook the Chartered Teacher qualification under the auspices of

15

the Chartered College of Teaching. Two colleagues undertook the year-long Assessment Lead programme which underpinned their work with a Teacher Learning Community. The School also published academic texts, and others have delivered papers at international conferences. Focusing the annual professional review on developmental activities ensures that teachers, at all stages of their career, are challenged and stimulated by new opportunities to collaborate with others and to hone their skills.

16

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Godolphin and Latymer also contributes to training events for teachers and leaders from other schools. Over 150 early career teachers have attended online training days with sessions run by Godolphin and Latymer staff and we were able to host 80 ECTs in person in June 2022; 25 middle leaders attended two training days run by school staff. We have also pioneered some training courses focusing on leadership and parenthood which have been available to the wider teaching community.

The Role of Pastoral Care

Pastoral care is a very important part of enabling Godolphin and Latymer to succeed in its educational aim of treating each pupil as an individual and enabling her to make the most of her strengths. The tutor system allows the School to offer each student a very high standard of personalised care. In addition, the focus on pastoral care places strong emphasis on the values that we seek to instil within our pupils such as curiosity about the world around them, compassion for others, creativity and resilience. Challenge Your Limits is our pioneering pastoral programme that helps our girls become resilient, maintain a positive outlook, embrace challenges and combat the fear of failure that can be a significant inhibitor to girls fulfilling their potential. The programme is designed to develop a “can do” spirit within the school community and to celebrate our achievements. In 2022 our Challenge Your Limits Week focused on the theme of doing the right thing and explored ways in whence we can create a kinder and more compassionate world. Topics explored included social entrepreneurship, medical research, physical, mental and emotional health, equality of opportunity and sustainability. The week concluded with the School Birthday celebrations to bring the community together with a shared sense of joyful optimism for the future.

The pastoral curriculum, delivered on a regular basis in form-time lessons, highlights areas designed to make students aware of the context of the world around them. For example, we address a wide range of current affairs topics as well as having a more formal curriculum on issues such as modern-day slavery, human rights and citizenship. We have recently reviewed our PSHE and RSE curriculum and have made changes to the content in response to the student voice that we gathered on this. We have also made progress with incorporating a wider range of assessment into the PSHE and RSE programme. In 2021-2022 we engaged Ofsted’s national lead for PSHE and RSE to audit our PSHE curriculum.

Our Head Girls Team and Diversity Committee built on their work on inclusion from 2020-2021 by introducing a programme of cultural form time sessions. These sessions provided opportunities for students of all ages to share details about their cultural background and to educate each other about cultural differences. The Diversity Committee supported Black History Month and led a range of other activities which examined diversity from a range of angles including disability, ethnic background and representation of cultural difference in literature.

This year external speakers included: Bradley Busch from Inner drive talking to our Sixth Formers about ‘delivering your best when it matters most’; Turn of Phrase who presented a workshop to Year 10 students on gender, influence of Social Media, Everyone’s Invited, and other key issues; Peter Hall talking to Upper Sixth students about drug and alcohol addiction; Ben Merrick Disability Champion for the UK Government’s National Security Committee; Hibo Wardere who spoke to our Sixth Formers about her campaigning for #nofgm; Satveer Hijjar who delivered sessions to Year 10 on mental health and wellbeing and to staff on self-harm; It Happens who spoke to Lower Sixth students and to parents on pornography, sexting, consent and sex education. It Happens have also delivered a range of talks to other year groups.

Promoting Wellbeing and Healthy Living

Godolphin and Latymer takes very seriously the importance of educating pupils and staff about well-being and promotes a healthy living pastoral curriculum for all ages. In Year 11, the pupils study a module about wellbeing called Lifestyle Plus, which offers education on topics such as

17

RSE and the chance to participate in activities such as yoga and mindfulness. The Food Technology department educates pupils about healthy eating choices. The breadth of sporting activities on offer is aimed at ensuring that all pupils stay active. These opportunities include basketball, badminton, volleyball, trampolining, cricket, dance, use of the fitness suite, Zumba and use of the climbing wall. Whilst offering a range of physical benefits, these activities also enable pupils to develop their emotional wellbeing through sport by boosting their self-esteem, confidence and ability to lead as well as to work collaboratively with others. These skills stand them in very good stead in their preparation for life after school.

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Throughout the school we have focused on educating students effectively about ways to look after their wellbeing and to gain a better understanding of ways to manage stress. We have sought to challenge the common perception that all stress is negative and have instead explored what healthy levels of challenge look like, in combination with educating our staff about ways to combine high levels of challenge with high levels of support. Our school counsellors provide positive and constructive education about mental health, as does our school nurse.

The wide range of sporting activities available to pupils continues in the Sixth Form with the Lower Sixth attending timetabled Physical Education once a week and many Upper Sixth choosing to use the fitness facilities in their own time.

Wellbeing is key to the Sixth Form pastoral curriculum. Regular wellbeing sessions have been offered including mindfulness, yoga, running, and creative activities such as colouring, crafts and puzzles. Form times delivered by form tutors have included discussions such as managing workload, drug and alcohol awareness, lifestyle and resilience in the face of pressures of social media. These are reinforced by a programme of talks from visiting speakers covering a range of topics including addiction and life at university. Both Lower and Upper Sixth sessions focusing on revision planning have all emphasised the need to promote well-being by balancing study with regular exercise and a healthy diet.

Our Director of IT and Digital Strategy is responsible for advising the safeguarding and pastoral teams on ways to promote the digital safety and wellbeing of students.

Developing local, national and global awareness

The School places a strong emphasis on enabling the pupils to develop local, national and global awareness of their responsibilities as a citizen. This emphasis is achieved through a number of ways, including:

18

Caring for the environment

The School is committed to promoting the importance of protecting the environment and encouraging all members of our community to show respect for their surroundings. This year, to coincide with the COP26 conference in Glasgow, Godolphin and Latymer students organised a fortnight of events on climate change and sustainability to highlight why the summit was so important for the future of our planet. Students ran a COP26 Film Festival and lunchtime clubs and societies focused on issues surrounding climate change and sustainability with talks on environmental law and policy and the impact of climate change on financial stability, immigration and the aviation industry; and the catering team flagged up the net carbon emissions data on our weekly menu.

19

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

To close the two-week programme of events the school welcomed Emily Tulloh, the Climate Emergency Community Outreach Coordinator from Hammersmith and Fulham Council, who talked about how our local area is being affected by pollution and the measures the council is taking. Our students offered their own thoughtful and practical ideas for improving our local environment and air quality.

Year 8 students participated in a campaign to reduce family carbon footprints. They worked to broaden knowledge around sustainability and then designed their own campaign ideas underpinned by nudge theory. The ideas were then collated as a digital book and shared across families in the year group such that each family pledged to commit to at least one idea for the summer.

Co-curricular programme

Aside from the academic curriculum, the year has again been one of continued enrichment activity in Music, Art, the sciences, humanities, Drama, languages and Sport. Among the highlights of the year was Languages Week with opportunities for students to improve their language skills and discover more about the different cultures and traditions, dress, food, music and dance of different regions around the globe; Literature Week which this year promoted the benefits of reading non-fiction titles and books written by authors from diverse backgrounds; and STEM Week which focused on problem-solving and mathematical challenges.

Trips and Visits

The School provides an enriching programme of educational visits and trips which this year included visits to the Royal Academy, British Museum, National Gallery, Hayward Gallery, Tate Modern, London Zoo, London Wetlands Centre, China Town, Spitalfields, Stratford Olympic Park, Flatford Mill Field Centre, Amersham Field Studies Centre, Fishbourne Roman Palace, Art trip to Worthing beach, Burnham Beeches, Blencathra in the Lake District, and our first overseas trip since the pandemic to northern France and Lille.

Sport and PE

The aim of the PE department is to provide opportunity and choice for all pupils whether supporting outstanding performances in national competitions or enabling a single pupil to participate in her chosen hobby. The emphasis is on participation and we currently run twelve netball teams for both the U12 and U13, whilst still maintaining two teams at the senior level. In hockey we have five teams in U12 and U13 and two in all other year groups, such that every pupil receives the opportunity to compete. In rowing, the programme has expanded enormously and the J14 crews now row out of Fulham Reach with the rest of the boat club using the facilities at the King’s College School boat house and Barn Elms boat club. In November 2021 we were once again named as one of top 20 all-girls schools in the country for cricket by The Cricketer.

Highlights this year included our 1st XI hockey team finishing 4th in the England Hockey East region, making it to the quarter finals of the Independent Schools Cup, and finishing sixth in the country in the Indoor National Finals. Our U15 and U19 netballers both made it to the quarter finals of the SnS National Cup competition; in rowing, our J16 four won bronze at the National Schools’ Regatta while our J18 eight pre-qualified for the Henley Regatta Prince Philip Trophy where they came up against favourites, Henley RC. Our U12 cricketers were crowned champions at the final London Schools’ tournament while our U13 team won the Lady Taverner’s country finals and our senior players are progressing well with their hard ball training.

20

In addition to the more established team sports, students have put in impressive performances in athletics and cross country and the PE programme continues to offer fencing, trampolining, karate, yoga, football and dance and has introduced new fixtures for badminton and basketball.

Drama

Whilst Drama is taught within the curriculum across all year groups, there are an exciting range of dramatic and theatrical experiences on offer for all pupils beyond the classroom. The extra-curricular Drama programme provides first and foremost a valuable, lifelong educational experience for the student participants. Students can act, produce, choreograph, direct or run the technical aspects of a range of productions.

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

The technical aspects of the productions are run by the students in Tech Club. There is no audition process for crew roles, and students can join Tech Club if they want to be a part of the stage crew; it is a weekly club run by our Performing Arts Technician and the Technical Theatre Captains. The students learn how to run the performance centre, with focus on lighting, sound, stage management, set and prop design, and costume design. Club members become the crew on all of the School’s productions.

Highlights this year have included the Senior Productions: Our Country’s Good and The Belles of the Ball ; Year 10 production of Second Person Narrative ; Year 7 production of Tempest Island with every member of the year-group taking part; and the Lower School production of All the World’s a Stage .

The school is a Trinity College Champion Centre for Speech and Drama and this year over 400 students took lessons.

Music

It was good to have our musicians back playing and performing together in their ensembles, orchestras and choirs unfettered by year-group bubbles. Our October Scholars’ Concert was the landmark event: our first live music event in almost two years, and was swiftly followed by Choral Evensong at St Albans Cathedral; our Autumn Concert featuring 200 performers and our ‘Winter Jam’. We were also able to welcome back into school distinguished performers for our season of Masterclasses. The Carol Service had been much missed - it wasn’t quite the same on SoundCloud - and the candlelit procession and ‘Once in Royal David’s City’ solo was particularly poignant and heart-warming this year.

The Senior House Music Festival showcased the extraordinary individual musical talent of our older students while the Spring Jam provided a more light-hearted evening with performances of Madonna numbers alongside original songs written by our students. The Spring Concert was one of the highlights of the year with a flamboyant opener from the Percussion Ensemble followed by beautiful singing from The Octaves. The Senior Chamber Orchestra performed the second movement of Bruch's Violin Concerto with a dazzling virtuoso performance from our soloist. Wonderful choral singing included works by Sondheim, Sells and Horner and Howard Goodhall and there were numbers from our Junior Chamber Orchestra and String Ensemble before a crowd-pleasing blast of Let it Go by the Concert Band. The centrepiece of the evening was a well-polished and moving performance by our Senior Chamber Orchestra and choirs of Faure's Requiem.

At the beginning of May the Chamber Choir sang choral evensong at Jesus College, Cambridge while the Bishop Centre was transformed into a sultry club setting for our first live Jazz Night in three years organised jointly by the PTFA and the Music department. The Chamber Concert featured a whole host of ensembles and the Junior House Music Festival showcased the amazing musical talent we have in the pipeline. The weekly Lunchtime Recitals continued in

21

school and released on SoundCloud and the end of term brought with it the School Birthday celebrations and the Summer Fete, with the courtyard busking being a major attraction.

620 students studied at least one instrument or voice with our peripatetic music teachers and 84% of students who entered the ABRSM examinations achieved a Distinction or Merit.

Art

The Lower School Art and Design Show made a much anticipated return to our school calendar and it was wonderful to welcome back parents to the Bishop Centre to view the work of our talented young artists. In June we were also delighted to present the GCSE, A Level and IB Art and Design exhibitions. GCSE students demonstrated a range of mediums and materials including acrylic and oil paintings, relief and intaglio printmaking, photography, ceramics and glass work and the senior students explored a number of themes including sustainability in fashion, childhood, medical science, threats to environments, cultural diversity, and the wonder of the natural world.

Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme

This year 105 Year 9 students took part in the Bronze award; 78 Year 10 students in the Silver award; and 23 Sixth Formers in the Gold award, and we ran successful expeditions to the Chilterns, New Forest and Purbeck Hills.

Clubs and Societies

We were delighted to return to our full programme of clubs and societies in addition to our music, drama and sports extra-curricular programme. Clubs take place on a weekly basis and the majority of them are organised and run by the pupils, for the pupils, with the support of staff. This year, our clubs and societies have included: 66 Books, Amnesty, Anime Club, Backgammon Club, Biomed Society, Bridge Society, British Sign Language Club, Chem Club, China Club, Classics Club, Climate Change Society, Computing Club, Dissection Club, Economics Society, Fashion and Textiles Club, Feminist Society, Film Club, Film Makers Club, French Conversation Club, French Cooking Club, Gay-Straight Alliance, Geography Book Club, Geography Society, German Film Club, Global Politics Society, Hackers Club, History of Art Society, History Society, IRIS – Science Research, JSoc, Junior Robotics Club, K-Pop Dance Club, Knitting Club, Korean Culture Society, Let’s talk about Jesus, Linguistics Club, Literary Society, Lower School Debating, Maths Society, Mental Health Society, Middle School Competition Maths, Middle School Debating, Middle School Science Club, Mindfulness, Model United Nations, Philosophy Society, Physics and Engineering Society, PPE Society and Forum, Psychology and Neuroscience Society, Raspberry Pi Hackspace Club, Senior Classics, Senior Robotics and Programming Club, Sixth Form Competition Maths, Spanish Chats, STEM Lecture Society, Technology and Design Thinking Club, The Fellowship of the Ink, The Internal Politician, Unknown History, Unknown Languages, Sketch Comedy Club, German Club (Year 7), Maths Club (Year 7), Art Club (Year 8), Maths Club (Year 8), Coding Club (Year 9), Italian Club (Year 9), Worldwise Geography Club, Yoga.

In addition, this year pupils have produced a number of student magazines including: The Element; Muse; and Idle Brain.

Houses

Beyond these activities, the House system also provides a great range of extra-curricular activities. This year’s competitions have included House Quoits, House music festivals, sports competitions including netball and diamond cricket and Sports Day, debating, lip sync battles, and University Challenge - all hotly contested by Bassi (purple), Lovelace (green), Maathai (red), Naidu (orange), Quinn Brown (blue) and Sheppard (yellow). Our inaugural House Musicals competition brought us fabulous performances from Matilda, Grease, Hairspray, Oliver, Annie and Les Miserables.

G&L Futures: Higher Education and Careers

The G&L Futures programme provides tailored and targeted advice for students at crucial points during their time in the school, ensuring that each student can make timely, informed decisions about her future, while increasingly developing the ‘soft’ skills and attributes that are valued by universities and future employers so that our students are future-ready.

As in previous years, in 2021-2022 our Higher Education team successfully supported applications to UK universities and beyond particularly to the US, Canada but also to European destinations. For both pre and post qualification candidates, the Higher Education department oversaw the entire application process, working closely with subject teachers, form tutors and senior staff to provide individual advice and support as applications were prepared, university offers considered and accepted, and final academic results received and places secured. Specialists supported Art Foundation, medical, veterinary and dentistry applications, alongside students applying to Oxford and Cambridge. We hosted representatives of UK and overseas institutions who gave advice on admissions to our pupils and those from our state partner schools where possible.

Our Lower Sixth Higher Education Preparation Programme supports pupils making decisions about university courses and provides advice on Gap Year opportunities and internships. All

23

students were provided with opportunities to develop their interview and presentation skills - including Multiple Mini Interviews for prospective medics - from rigorous discussions with subject specialists as part of the sixth form uniprep programme, to the bespoke training run for all students during the Summer Term. In the Autumn Term we ran our Art of Academic Conversation event where students had the opportunity to talk with Professors from leading universities and professionals from a number of fields, and our Summer Term Renaissance Dining Event provided an opportunity for students to converse with experts from Finance, Law and business over a formal dinner.

24

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

The Sixth Form programme includes biennial events and this year was the turn of the Careers Discovery Event which invited speakers from a plethora of careers to speak to students and parents, including those from the fields of medicine and dentistry, architecture, corporate and social responsibility, finance, technology, law, the civil service, the charity sector, film and tv, song writing, music production and game development.

After their GCSEs many of our Year 11 students are supported to undertake invaluable work experience which this year included placements with Brighton and Sussex Medical School, Holland Park Surgery, Brunswick, Clifford Chance, HSBC, and Linklaters.

Keeping in touch with pupils through the Old Dolphin network is a source of great satisfaction and an increasing number of past pupils return to give the benefit of their experience to pupils currently at the School. Many recent leavers come back to school to share their experiences of their first year at university while Old Dolphins at all points in their careers have contributed to the ‘Working Lunch’ programme.

This year, as part of our G&L Futures programme, we launched our In-house Internships. The internships enabled students in Years 7-10 and the Lower Sixth to gain invaluable experience working with teachers and business professionals to develop evidence-based ideas and solutions to real-life problems. The projects managed to wrap in approaches to a host of interesting and complex matters including entrepreneurship, inclusivity, big data, imposter syndrome, small business development, and sustainability. They included the Year 7 Urban Pantry project where students helped a small business develop ideas to increase mid-week revenues; the Lower Sixth project where students helped a music streaming platform to increase its market share; and a project that encouraged our Year 8 students to investigate how Godolphin and Latymer can achieve Net Zero carbon emissions. The students’ final presentations demonstrated just how far they had developed their thinking and their problemsolving, collaboration and research skills. A group of students also presented their ‘Big Data’ research on how the COVID lockdowns affected levels of air pollution in London at the annual IRIS Conference.

Old Dolphins

Old Dolphins are an extremely important and valued part of our community and our alumnae programme is currently actively engaging over 3,561 individuals with the school. In September we were delighted to welcome back more than 200 Old Dolphins from 30 different year-groups, along with teachers and former members of staff for Old Dolphins’ Day. Old Dolphins generously contribute their time and wisdom to a whole host of school events and activities including the G&L Futures Programme, where they regularly provide career and higher education advice and insights including at our Working Lunches and Careers Discovery Event. This year we were particularly grateful to Crystal Eisinger (Class of 2008), CEO of KEAKIE and owner of Urban Pantry for her invaluable support of the In-house Internships initiative. Old Dolphins continue to be generous supporters of our Annual Fund bursary programme.

FUTURE PLANS

Starting in the Summer of 2022 we are embarking on the next phase of the school site master plan to improve our dining facilities, enhance facilities for our Sixth Form, to upgrade the Library, to improve connections between buildings and to develop enjoyable communal indoor and outdoor spaces. This is a major building project and facilities are due to be ready in Autumn 2023. During the build, the Library and a number of classrooms will be relocated to high quality temporary accommodation on the front lawn and in the Old Dolphins’ Courtyard and in January 2023 the Sixth Form Common Room will be relocated to the Bishop Centre.

In 2022-2023, the School will progress its strategies to widen access through its outreach programmes and provision of means-tested bursaries, in particular by increasing the number of transformational bursary (100-110%) awards we are able to offer. The 2022-2023 Annual Fund

25

will focus solely on raising income for the bursary programme. The Bridge programme is now well-established and will continue to offer around 80 places each year to Year 5 students from local primary schools. In the summer of 2023 we hope to launch Bridge Senior for students who are entering Year 11 at their current school and who might consider applying to join Godolphin and Latymer on a bursary for Sixth Form.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

For 2022-2023 we are continuing our focus on developing skills for the future workplace and increasing our students’ employability by running a pilot scheme to fully integrate the In-house Internship into the Year 9 curriculum. The Year 9 timetabled component will centre around social transformation, and will allow students to develop evidence-based solutions to a local problem. They will engage in problem definition, work through provided research to stimulate thought, learn how to interview for insight (and practise this), develop a prototype idea, present to gain feedback and be encouraged to iterate in order to develop their idea optimally.

For 2022-2023 the school priorities will be creativity and resilience which will:

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial Results

The Financial Statements for the year ended 31 August 2022 are published with this report.

The School had net income before investment gains and losses during the year of £2,234,570 (2021: £2,250,539), after providing for depreciation of £635,113 (2021: £620,560). Of this surplus,£2,673,072 was attributable to Unrestricted Funds (2021: £2,694,815) and (£2,205) to restricted funds (2021: (£7,458)). £436,297 depreciation expenditure was allocated against the Endowment Fund in the year (2021: £436,818). Net investment loss attributable to Restricted Funds, were (£58) (2021: £18,081 gain), giving an overall surplus of £2,234,512 (2021: £2,268,620).

The Governors have identified that continuing surpluses will be required if investment in the School’s activities and facilities is to be maintained, and fee increases in the current year, which continue to be reviewed annually, are intended to support this objective.

Reserves Policy

The Governors regularly review the level and nature of the reserve funds of the School. Funds held at the year end were as follows:

Unrestricted general funds: £ 11,214,838 Designated funds (Annual Fund): £ 2,206,307 Restricted funds: £ 129,153 Endowment fund: £ 12,916,276

Unrestricted Funds are held primarily to provide the funds for major development projects, including the current building project and other fixed asset expenditure. The School plans to continue this investment whilst at the same time, managing its cash flow needs.

The Restricted Funds are held primarily to provide bursaries. Funds raised through Annual Fund (Designated) are expended completely, normally during the financial year.

27

In previous years the School has invested substantial sums in school buildings. In furtherance of those development projects, most of those unrestricted general funds are now invested in fixed assets. At the 2022 financial year end free reserves were £4,631,727 (2021:£4,889,178). This value is in line with the Governors’ strategy to build reserves in order to fund the current stage of the School’s building programme.

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

REPORT OF THE SOLE TRUSTEE (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Management of Investments

The Governors have appointed Quilter Cheviot as Investment Managers. The investment policy is to produce a predictable level of income from a low-medium risk portfolio invested in equities, cash and fixed interest stocks, so as to provide income to fund school prizes. The Governors receive quarterly reports from the Investment Managers and consider that performance in the 2021-2022 year has been satisfactory.

During the year, the portfolio managed by Quilter Cheviot was liquidated. Future prizes will be funded by the School from the cash realised from the portfolio and, when fully expended, the School’s reserves.

Fundraising practices and performance

The governors are aware of the Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016 and recognise the importance of meeting the highest standards of practice and care in relation to fundraising activities. The School has signed up to the fundraising code of practice and has voluntarily registered with the Fundraising Preference Service (FPS). The School is a member of the Institute of Development Professionals in Education and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education. The School only raises funds from Old Dolphins, parents, staff and those with a personal connection to the school and does not undertake fundraising campaigns to members of the public. The School considers the origin of unsolicited donations and legacies.

The School does not share or purchase any donor data with or from third parties. In 20212022 the School did not engage with independent professional fundraisers. In 2021-2022 the School did not receive any complaints in relation to fundraising or raise any matter with regulators.

Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities

The Governors, as Directors of the Godolphin and Latymer School Foundation, acknowledge on its behalf, as the School’s Sole Trustee, its responsibilities for maintaining accounting records and preparing financial statements as set out below.

Charity law requires the Sole Trustee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of its resources for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustee is required to:

The Sole Trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity, and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the School’s trust deed. It is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements.

Date: ………………….. REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ TO THE TRUSTEE OF THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Godolphin & Latymer School for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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 trustee’s 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 charity'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 trustee with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Report of the Sole Trustee. 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

30

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 of the other information. 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ TO THE TRUSTEE OF THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

Responsibilities of trustee for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the trustee’s responsibilities statement set out on pages 16, the trustee is 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 trustee 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 trustee is responsible for assessing the charity’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 trustee either intends to liquidate the charity 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 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.

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:

Based on our understanding of the charity and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to The Education (Independent School Standards) Regulation 2014, safeguarding regulations, health and safety requirements, GDPR, employment law and charity law and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a 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 Charities Act 2011 and consider other factors such as payroll tax.

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

31

principal risks were related to the improper recognition of revenue and management bias in accounting estimates . Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

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 regulation. 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.

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 auditor’s report.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ TO THE TRUSTEE OF THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustee, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustee 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 charity’s trustee as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation of the Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), 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) Second Edition. The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) Second Edition rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The accounting policies set out below have been applied in preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2022 and the comparative information presented in these financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2021. The financial statements are drawn up under the historical cost convention except that investments are carried at market value.

The School is a Public Benefit Entity registered as a charity in England and Wales, it was registered in 1977 (charity number: 312699).

Going concern

Having reviewed the funding facilities available to the School together with the expected ongoing demand for places and the School’s future projected cash flows, the Sole Trustee has a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertainties over the School’s financial viability. Accordingly, they also continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Basis of consolidation

Consolidated accounts are not prepared as the subsidiary, Bengale Limited, is dormant (see note 9).

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the accounting policies, the Sole Trustee is required to make judgement, estimates, and assumptions 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 the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future periods.

In the view of the Sole Trustee, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the School’s financial statements.

39

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Funds

The general funds of the School are represented by the Elizabeth Godolphin Fund and represent unrestricted funds expendable at the discretion of the Sole Trustee in furtherance of the objects of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds which have been set aside by the Sole Trustee for a specific purpose.

Resources received for purposes specified by the donor, whether for use as income or capital, are credited to an appropriate restricted fund. Amounts expended in accordance with the restrictions are charged directly to the restricted fund.

The Endowment fund represents restricted funds held on trust to be permanently retained for the benefit of the charity as a capital fund. All other income and expenditure is regarded as being for the general purposes of the School and is included in the general unrestricted funds, represented by the Elizabeth Godolphin Fund.

Financial Instruments

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised with the exception of investments which are held at fair value. Financial assets held at amortised cost comprise cash at bank and in hand, together with trade and other debtors. A specific provision is made for debts for which recoverability is in doubt. Cash at bank and in hand is defined as all cash held in bank accounts and used as working capital. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise all creditors except social security and other taxes and provisions.

Fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged on a consistent basis so as to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives. All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised.

Depreciation is charged from the date on which assets are brought into use. The following rates are used on the straight line basis.

Freehold buildings 2% straight line Leasehold property improvements 2% straight line Astroturf 10% straight line Fixtures, computers and equipment 33.3% straight line Plant and machinery 5% straight line

The freehold building was revalued on the 23 September 1999 by Matthews and Goodman at 46 Bow Lane, Cheapside, London using the open market value. In accordance with the transitional provisions of FRS102 section 17, this value has not been updated. Freehold land is not depreciated.

Investments

Investments are valued in the balance sheet at closing price at the balance sheet date.

Realised gains are the difference between sales proceeds and opening market value where the investment was held at the beginning of the year, or sales proceeds less cost of purchase where the investment was acquired in the year. Unrealised gains are the change in value of investments after taking into account any movements in investment holdings such as purchases and disposals of investments.

Realised and unrealised gains are accounted for within the Statement of Financial Activities.

Debtors

41

School 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.

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. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

42

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Fees and similar income

Fees receivable and charges for services and use of the premises, less any allowances, scholarships, bursaries granted by the School against those fees, but including contribution received from restricted funds, are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided.

Donations, grants and legacies

Voluntary income is accounted for as and when entitlement arises, the amount can be reliably quantified and the economic benefit to the School is considered probable.

Investment income

Investment income from dividends, bank balances and fixed interest securities is accounted for on an accruals basis.

Grant income

Grant income relates to the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Grant and is recognised under the accruals basis in line with staff costs.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to that category.

Teaching costs are the direct costs of teaching the pupils at the School. Welfare costs are mainly the domestic costs of the School.

Premises costs are the costs incurred in maintaining the premises of the School, including rates, insurance and general expenditure on repairs and renewals. Support costs are the costs of directly administering and supporting the School’s operations.

Governance costs are audit fees and governors’ insurance.

Value Added Tax

Value added tax is not recoverable and expenditure is, therefore, shown inclusive of value

added tax suffered.

Pension costs

The School is a member of the Teachers’ Superannuation Scheme run by Teachers’ Pensions. The scheme is an unfunded, defined benefit scheme. It is a multi-employer pension scheme and it is not possible to identify the assets and liabilities of the scheme which are attributable to the school. Accordingly under FRS102 section 28 the scheme is accounted for as if it were a defined contribution scheme.

The School also contributes to a defined contribution scheme for non-teaching staff. The School’s contributions to pension funds for its employees are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis in the year in which they fall due.

Operating leases

Rentals under operating leases are charged 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

THE GODOLPHIN AND LATYMER SCHOOL

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

15 PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS AND . COMMITMENTS

The School participates in the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (England and Wales) (“the TPS”) for its teaching staff. The pension charge for the year includes contributions payable to the TPS of £1,630,384 (2021: £1,644,479) and at the year-end £198,949 (2020: £Nil) was accrued 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 (as amended) and The Teachers’ Pension Scheme Regulations 2014 (as amended). Members contribute on a “pay as you go” basis with contributions from members and the employer being credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.

The employer contribution rate is set by the Secretary of State following scheme valuations undertaken by the Government Actuary’s Department. The most recent actuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2016 and the Valuation Report, which was published in March 2021, confirmed that the employer contribution rate for the TPS would increase from 16.4% to 23.6% from 1 September 2021. Employers are also required to pay a scheme administration levy of 0.08% giving a total employer contribution rate of 23.68%.

The 31 March 2016 Valuation Report was prepared in accordance with the benefits set out in the scheme regulations and under the approach specified in the Directions, as they applied at 5 March 2021. 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’ Pensions.

On 27 June 2021 the Supreme Court denied the government permission to appeal the Court of Appeal’s judgment that transitional 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 TPS is subject to 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 2019 announced that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, in January 2021 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.

In view of the above rulings and decisions the assumptions 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 a remedy to the discrimination conclusion has been determined by the Employment Tribunal it is not possible to conclude on any financial impact or future changes to the contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly no provision for any additional past benefit pension costs is included in these financial statements.

In addition the School contributes to a defined contribution scheme for non-teaching staff. The pension charge for the year includes contributions payable to the scheme of £300,840 (2021: £264,801) and at the year-end £32,435 (2021: £30,205) was accrued in respect of contributions to this scheme.
