## Introduction by Chair of Governors
**Welcome to our 2019/20 Annual Report and Accounts. At the beginning of this academic year no one could have predicted the impact and extent of the global pandemic which developed in early 2020. Like every charity, we have had to work hard and fast to adapt our operations to cope with seismic changes to our way of life.**
As a Governing Body, we have focused on providing strong governance and effective leadership during this turbulent period. Our first priority has been the health and wellbeing of both staff and students and we have worked closely with the Head and his Senior Management Team to respond to their immediate needs and those of our local community.
Steering the Foundation through this unprecedented period has been challenging and it is clear that we are not out of the woods yet. There is still much uncertainty about the future and we must do all we can to ensure the financial resilience of the Foundation for the longer term. Now, more than ever, our mission to provide an outstanding education for all academically able children, no matter their financial means, is a moral imperative. We know we will face difficult times ahead but we continue to strive towards our goal of funding one in four pupils on a bursary by 2024. In the same way, our commitment to our outreach work is undimmed and we have adapted delivery of our programmes to the needs of local children whose education has been disrupted by school closures. As well as opening the school as a safe place for the children of key workers and vulnerable children and running holiday camps focusing on wellbeing, we also worked to tackle digital poverty, providing hardware to local secondary school children so that they could access their teaching and learning remotely.
It was humbling to see how many Latymer families donated money to the Emergency Bursaries Fund we launched in the summer term. We set up the fund to ensure that no child has to leave the school because of a change in their family’s financial situation as a result of the pandemic. The unfailing generosity of the Latymer community, together with the many selfless acts undertaken to support local families in need, is truly inspiring.
These values of good citizenship and empathy, which we nurture alongside a broad education grounded in humility, impressed the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) who visited us earlier in the year. Their report was extremely positive about all aspects of the education and pastoral care offered at Latymer Prep and Latymer Upper Schools. Never have these qualities been put more to the test than during 2020.
I am so proud of our community and the way that it has responded to this crisis and continues to do so.
**Ros Sweeting** Chair of Governors

## Head & Principal foreword
## **The 2019/20 academic year was very much a tale of two halves – the best and the worst of times – and both have brought out the best of the Latymer community.**
Until March staff were busy teaching a full curriculum and a myriad of extracurricular activities were taking place across the school; concerts and plays were performed by our talented students, one of whom was a finalist in the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition, and there were scores of sporting highlights including our 1st VII netball team reaching the national finals. Our school charity theme chosen by our pupils was ‘Environmentalism and Sustainability’ and among the activities was the planting of more than 7,000 trees in West London parks during National Tree Week, setting a new record.
We also made significant improvements to the outdoor areas on the school site, with more green spaces and summer flower beds. When lockdown began, the majority of our planned works including the significant redevelopment of the Sixth Form Centre had to be postponed, but thankfully we were able to complete the installation of environmentally friendly ‘green walls’ around our play areas over the summer holiday.
The period from March onwards was the most unprecedented and challenging we have known in all our years of teaching. As the site was forced to shut, we moved swiftly to remote learning, continuing high quality education provision for all students, albeit in a different form and subject to certain constraints. We were so proud of the ability and resilience of all of our students as we adapted to online learning across both schools. We were also delighted to be able to partially reopen the Prep School before the end of Summer Term and have our Year 10s and 12s back on site for wellbeing workshops and sessions on university applications and career advice.
The year was particularly unsettling for our Year 11 and 13 students who, despite the tumultuous period of confusion and u-turns over results, achieved stellar results. The grading process we adopted was both rigorous and fair in every regard and the results were excellent and well-evidenced. We speak for all the staff in Upper and Prep schools, when we say how proud we are of the remarkable achievements of these students.
As well as managing the impact of the pandemic on core school operations, we were delighted to be able to continue supporting our community and it is testament to our ethos and values that our staff, parents, pupils and alumni immediately volunteered their time and skills to help people in need. A Year 10 student even earned recognition from the Prime Minister for her innovative solution to tackling isolation amongst the elderly in care homes, whilst our alumni set up a production line in our Design department and created more than 100,000 pieces of PPE.
Whilst school life continues to be disrupted, we are proud of how we have responded as a charity and as two schools, staying true to our aims throughout this most challenging of times.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS**
## **G.C.S.E Level**
## **Academic results**
The examination results for 2020 were awarded nationally as Centre-Assessed Grades (CAGs). At Latymer Upper School these grades were put forward based on teacher judgements and underwent a rigorous internal process consisting of several stages involving teachers, Heads of Department, key pastoral staff and the academic management team, with the Head ultimately signing them off. We were fully satisfied that our systems were thorough, evidence-based and robust, and that students received the grades we believe correctly represent what they would have achieved had they taken the exam in summer 2020.

## **INSPECTION**
During the year, the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) conducted a “focused compliance” inspection combined with an inspection of “educational quality”.
The report was extremely positive on all aspects of the education and pastoral care offered at Latymer Prep and Upper Schools and there was no further action required as a result of the inspection.
## **The Educational Quality aspect of the inspection focuses on the two key outcomes:**
- The achievement of the pupils, including their academic development.
## **Alongside excellent academic development, our Latymerians’ social awareness and good citizenship were noted by inspectors:**
- Pupils’ social skills are highly developed. They have excellent social awareness and interaction with others is of high quality. This is due to the strong culture and expectation of collaboration which exists throughout the school. These factors help pupils develop into considerate and empathetic young people as seen in the considerable pupil involvement in special days to celebrate world understanding.
- The personal development of the pupils.
## **The key findings of the report are:**
- Pupils’ attainment and progress are excellent.
- Pupils demonstrate extremely advanced communication skills.
- Pupils’ attitudes and study skills are excellent.
- Pupils demonstrate and apply highly developed information and communication technology (ICT) skills.
- The quality of the pupils’ personal development is excellent.
- Pupils demonstrate substantial self-confidence and a strong awareness of their personal development over time.
- Pupils show a keen appreciation, respect and support for the diverse nature of their community.
- Pupils are particularly mindful of looking after themselves both physically and mentally.
- Pupils contribute extremely positively and willingly to the school community and to society more broadly.
- Pupils have an excellent awareness of the importance of contributing to others and the wider world. They contribute extremely positively and willingly to the school community and to society more broadly through the range of clubs, activities and charitable initiatives, many of which are pupil-led and initiated.
## **ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH**
Both Latymer Upper and Prep Schools have a strong ethos of social inclusivity and strive to be good neighbours. The Foundation has a large number of meaningful partnerships with maintained primary and secondary schools, local community groups and a range of charities. Whilst the delivery of some of the outreach programmes was impacted by the lockdown in March 2020, many ran for much of the year, and as the pandemic arrived our outreach team was able to adapt its focus to how we could make a real difference to the lives of children and young people during this extraordinarily challenging time.

## **Community support during Covid-19**
The Foundation took action during lockdown to provide support to those students particularly disadvantaged by schooling from home. These students came both from within our school, as families on means-tested bursaries; and from maintained schools in the community.
## **Digital poverty and free school lunches**
We sent WiFi dongles to students who were struggling with their internet connection during online learning: 25 to our bursary students, a further 300 to students identified by local maintained schools, and 5 iPads to other students from maintained schools.
Many of our bursary students receive free school lunches from us and we continued to provide funding for food directly during this period.
## **On-site learning: Latymer Hubs**
While the majority of students stayed at home during lockdown and school closures, Latymer Upper School remained open to children of key workers, and those who needed it for reasons relating to welfare or disadvantage. This included term-time ‘Hubs’ which provided lunch and a safe space for students to take part in their remote learning.
The Head of English in the Prep School provided teaching support to vulnerable children in Years 7 and 8 as part of this resource.
## **Latymer Camps with Let Me Play**
During school holidays we worked with community group, Let Me Play, to host an Easter Hub for 43 young people and 90 young people at a Summer camp on our site. The camps focused on positive well-being and
partnered with Really Wild to offer a range of activities including bushcraft, t-shirt painting, sport, ice-cream making and water games (the latter of which were much needed during the summer heatwave). Each activity was carefully designed to develop self-esteem and confidence whilst being fun, safe and socially distanced. Young people came from 28 different primary and secondary schools across London, including many from our own school partners.
Our Summer Camps provided a lifeline to vulnerable children and the children of key workers. The focus on wellbeing through social interaction and connectedness, physical exercise, the easing of anxiety, developmental support, entertainment and provision of a safe place did much to address the stress on these young people and their families.
Let Me Play described this summer as _“the most rewarding Summer we have ever had”._
## **PPE Provision**
From the start of lockdown, Latymer was able to make use of its resources to create PPE for healthcare workers. We hosted Augment Bionics and our alumnus George in our Design department, where our staff, alumni and Year 13 students made 105,000 face shields which were distributed to medical settings across the UK.
We were also able to donate repurposed equipment from our Science departments, including 350 face goggles for St George’s Hospital and 1900 non-latex gloves for London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham’s Primary Care Hub. Many students also engaged in fundraising and PPE-making activities from their own homes, producing visors and scrub bags or creating clothing brands sold to profit NHS Charities Together.

## **Partnerships and Enrichment Initiatives**
We worked in partnership with an educational charity, _**Generating Genius,**_ to continue to offer extra-curricular learning experiences to pupils from local maintained primary and secondary schools with a vision of inspiring them to consider an education at Latymer. We have partnered with Generating Genius in their Junior Genius sessions since 2017/18, aimed at Year 10 and 11 students who are passionate about STEM. Last year our staff and alumni delivered 4 Maths and 3 Physics masterclasses to 20 students of a BAME background from maintained partner schools.
## In 2019-20
maintained primary schools 6 participated in the _Maths Teams_ programme at Latymer, sending a total of 40 pupils in Year 5 and 6.
10 Lower Sixth Form students volunteered as Maths Coaches for the duration of the 13 week programme, supported by teaching staff in Latymer’s Maths department. Together, teachers and coaches gave around 94 hours of their time in these sessions.
A new partnership was established in 2018/19 with _**Maths Teams**_ , an organisation with a vision to see as many maths teams as football teams with a goal of inspiring young people to develop a love of maths. Maths Teams enables pupils to extend their maths experience and skills in a fun and competitive environment.

**In addition to delivering enrichment programmes in partnership with external educational organisations, there are a number of long-running initiatives that continue to be delivered by Latymer staff for the benefit of children and young people in the wider community. Whilst the delivery of some of these programmes was impacted by the lockdown in March 2020, many ran for a good period of time in the months preceding.**
## **Primary Debating**
Taking place weekly between November and March, Primary Debating returned for its tenth year. Forty-four children from 10 local primary schools took part, learning debating skills taught by enthusiastic Lower Sixth student volunteers.
## **Saturday School**
This programme aims to bridge the gap between primary and secondary school, and is our longest-running at Latymer Upper School, having run for over 25 years. Last year, we saw 125 Year 6 pupils participating from 24 maintained primary schools. Twelve different topics were covered including languages, science, design, maths, history, geography and english. Eleven students from Year 10 and Lower Sixth volunteered to support lessons each week, providing experiences that contributed to their Silver Duke of Edinburgh or Service in the Community.
## **STEM Academy**
Thirty-eight pupils signed up for STEM Academy from 8 partner schools, with sessions running every Saturday. Students developed STEM skills through engaging and interactive lessons building robots, which mimic the design and engineering process used by scientists and engineers in industry today.
## **Phoenix Twilight Sessions**
Each year throughout all three terms, 17 supplementary lessons are provided to Year 11 students from Phoenix Academy to provide additional learning in Science, English and Maths. Fifteen students were taught last year by six Latymer Upper School teachers, providing 13 hours of teaching time.
## **Opening the door to coding**
Teaching staff at the Prep School have continued to share their expertise with other schools and children throughout the UK. The Head of IT is regularly involved in Raspberry Jam. This is a country-wide initiative aimed at encouraging young children in coding. The Head of IT also hosts termly CAS Community Meetings for external schools. Topics cover different elements of computing and each meeting includes a workshop on the specific topic being discussed.
## **Rugby Tournament**
The Head of Games in the Prep School worked with the Head of Rugby in Latymer Upper School to offer a rugby tournament between eight local state primaries. The tour was held locally and included free coaching for year 5 and year 6 children to improve their rugby skills. This was the first tour of what we hope will be an annual event.

## **GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY**
Last year 170 Lower Sixth students participated in **Service in the Community** by taking on a volunteer placement within the local community. A broad range of placements were on offer in community organisations and schools on either a weekly or fortnightly basis between November 2019 and May 2020. The
programme enables students to make a meaningful and tangible difference whilst developing their social skills and character. All the while, the programme provides each student with a unique experience of volunteering and builds in the individual an awareness of charity and how important it is to give back.
Some of this year’s community partners include _Rugby Portobello Trust, Into University, Fulham Good Neighbours, Dance West_ and _Hammersmith Community Gardens._ School partnerships included _St Paul’s Primary, St Stephen’s Primary, Flora Gardens Primary_ and _West London College_ .

L AT YMER FOUNDATION CONSOLIDATED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020
**The following extract, taken from an email by the Head of Volunteer Engagement at City Harvest, one of our community partners, sums up the Service in the Community programme far better than we can:**
We have had 13 students from Latymer Upper School sign up to attend volunteering shifts at City Harvest. As part of their work they help us to sort and unload our nightly delivery of surplus food. Over the past three months students from Latymer have volunteered 135 hours of their time to City Harvest. That time has helped us to collect and sort 7.6 tonnes of surplus food, deliver 14,445 meals to Londoners in need and prevent over 28.5 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
## **Paula our Head of Daily Operations said**
The sixth formers that come in are very interested and ask sensible questions. The students seem to know why they are here and understand the issue they are trying to combat. The students are incredibly polite and socialise well with our diverse variety of volunteers. They have really great working relationships with each other which spills over into their working relationships with everyone in the warehouse.
We couldn’t be more proud of our students’ contribution this year.
## School Governors
Latymer counts six members of staff who continue to work as governors of schools across London:
**Maintained:** West London Free School, The Twickenham School, The Worple Primary school in Isleworth, The Queen’s Church of England Primary School in Kew, and Bradfields Academy which provides specialist SEND provision for students with complex learning needs.
**Independent:** The King Alfred School in Golders Green
## BBC Radio 2 500 and BLM 500 Words judge
The Prep Librarian is a judge in the 5-9 categories of these two creative writing competitions.
## Macbeth Centre
Head of Geography and RSP at the Prep School taught basic car mechanics to young offenders attending the Motor Vehicle Engineering department’s course weekly.
## PGCE student assessments
A member of the Prep School SMT with many years of teaching experience is involved with UCL each year in PGCE Primary student assessment interviews. This benefits UCL in ensuring their selection of and training of future Primary School teachers remains topical and relevant to current classroom needs.
## Prep Choirs
Latymer Prep school choirs sang at the Syrian Refugee Centre, Charing Cross Hospital and an old people’s home.

## **ACCESS TO RESOURCES**
Opening access to the wealth of resources at Latymer has proven to be a successful model for developing partnerships that are of benefit to the wider community. Through hiring our spaces our partners are able to provide a broad range of activities from music to sports for children and young people.
- **Tri-borough Music Hub** – continued to use our spaces to host individual and ensemble tuition for 7 to 15 year olds every Saturday during term time until the lockdown measures in March. Over 150 children and young people benefit from the music lessons hosted at Latymer each week.
- **Community Sports Clubs** – a range of clubs use our sporting facilities to provide access to children in the community with access to a wide range of activities including swimming, cricket, basketball, football, waterpolo and fencing. This is provided to both engage and enrich the local community, as well as provide elite level access to sports to high performers.
## **GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS**
The Latymer community continues to make a positive contribution globally through a number of charitable initiatives. Pupils and staff take part in both fundraising efforts and trips to provide practical support for the charity partners.
**Care4Calais** – Students at Latymer have demonstrated a passion to support those in need and have been proactive at providing aid to refugees in need through engagement with Care4Calais.
In 2019/20, a total of 12 staff and 103 students travelled in 4 trips to Calais. Each trip, donated items were brought and distributed including over 3,000 items of clothing, blankets and sleeping bags generously donated by British Airways, and just over £10k fundraised through our GoldenGiving page to further the work of Care4Calais. These were life-changing experiences for our students, and volunteers and staff commented frequently on how engaged and active Latymer were, particularly as we are the only school who have run aid trips.
- _The impact the students have on me and my staff is to bring us hope. A lot of our job is demoralising. But the students are so positive it makes you feel like a different future is possible. And smart and compassionate too. Some of the best days last year were the days Latymer came over._ – Clare Moseley, Founder Care4Calais
– **The Latymer Uganda Project** Through a number of different fundraising activities and events, pupils were able to raise £3,957 for the Uganda Project. Money raised went towards various foundations we support, including M-Lisada, and to provide school fees for 8 children.
– **Round Square Schools** The Head of English in the Prep School attended a weekend conference to network and share best practices with schools from across Europe. Through this we hope to discuss a partnership with a school in India and develop further collaborations in the Prep School.
**Restless Development** – A global organisation that helps young people across the UK, Africa and Asia, teaching them entrepreneurial skills to help them start their own businesses; it encourages them to take positions of civic responsibility and provides practical advice and support on local issues such as the impact of climate change. The Head of Games at the Prep School led an outside school sponsorship event involving cycling, swimming and running.

## Fundraising

## Financial review
## **INCOME**
In the year to 31[st] August 2020, the Latymer Foundation’s income decreased by 3% (£0.9m) to £32.7m. The majority of the Foundation income comes from school fees and these were reduced in the summer term as part of the Charity’s response to the global pandemic. Income from donations and legacies remained broadly in line with the previous year and the Governors are hugely grateful for the continued generosity of the donors to the Foundation.
As in prior years, and as a result of our Inspiring Minds campaign launched in 2014, the majority of donations received in the year went to supporting the ongoing growth of our bursary programme. The campaign combines fundraising for both our endowed and current bursary places. During the year, we received £1.3m (2019: £1.1m) towards the endowment. These donations are held in investments, with the capital held in perpetuity. Donations for our current bursaries, to support today’s generation of young people are generated through a number of ways including our community-wide Bursaries Appeal and donors who pledge to cover the fees of individual pupils. In total £3.7m (2019: £3.8m) was received for current bursaries during the year.
Both other income and investment income remained at £1.6m and £1.3m respectively, the same as in the previous year. Trading income was reduced due to the pandemic, however this reduction was partially offset by a grant of £0.3m from the government furlough scheme to cover non-teaching staff members pay costs. This grant has since been repaid in full.
## **EXPENDITURE**
Total expenditure increased by 2% to £28.1m. Whilst the School was able to make some operational savings against the budget in the summer term as we moved to a remote educational offering, the majority of our educational and outreach work, and the costs associated with this, continued.

## **BURSARY PROGRAMME FUNDING**
The £24m of school fees is net of bursary awards made in the year. A total of £3.5m (2019 £3.1m) was spent on bursary places which funded 204 pupils (2019: 184), 196 in the Upper School (2019: 176) and 8 (2019: 8) at the Prep. 113 pupils (2019: 102) were fully funded, and a further 88 (2019: 82) pupils were in receipt of a partial award. The majority of partial awards during the year exceeded 75%.
£2.2m (65%) of the bursaries were funded from donations, either from the endowment or from the current bursaries funds received.
The Governors ensure the spend on bursaries is in line with donor wishes and each year review all funds available to maximise the number of bursary places that can be awarded.
Donations to the endowment are held in investments and their annual returns are used to fund bursary places.
Any bursary award from the endowment is therefore perpetual and the award will automatically transfer to a new student when one completes their Latymer career. The Foundation aims to continue to grow the endowment to provide long term security for our bursary programme.
Donations for current bursaries are also held in investments, and the full amount of the donation is used to fund bursaries for the current generation of young people. These donations are spent over a period of 2 to 11 years, depending on the year the student joins.
The bursary programme extends beyond fee assistance, and during the year grants worth £90k (2019: £80k) were awarded to bursary students for uniform costs, music and drama tuition fees, external exam fees and university application costs. In addition, largely as a result of fundraising by parents, 72 pupils (2019: 110) received awards totalling £50k (2019: £92k) so they were able to participate in school trips and activities.

## **INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Investment policy**
During 2019/20, the Governors followed an Investment Policy Statement which set out the objective to produce the optimum financial returns and maintain the purchasing power of donations received. The statement set out guidelines for risk, asset allocations and ethical investments in addition to management reporting requirements. The Investment Committee met four times during the year to formally review the performance of the investments with benchmarks and general market trends. The target of the fund during the year was RPI + 4% and a net total return of 5.4% (2019 6.3%) was delivered against a target of 5.6%. The total return of the fund over a 5 year period on an annualised basis is 9.0% against a target of 6.4%.
During the year, the Investment Committee and Governors reviewed their approach to investment management. In July 2020, the Trustees resolved to adopt the total return approach to investments held in the permanent endowment fund. This approach allows the Foundation flexibility in the future in how it manages investment returns from its permanent endowments whilst respecting and preserving the fund value.
The investment portfolio was also realigned and new Investment Policy Statements agreed during the year, September 2020. with changes being effective from 1[st] These changes ensure that the perpetual and current funds held in investment are managed in accordance with their purpose, liability profile and the corresponding appetite for risk.
The value of the Foundation’s investment portfolio increased substantially in the year from £55m in 2019 to £66m in 2020 including unrealised gains of £2m (2019 £2m).
## **Remuneration policy**
The Governors’ remuneration policy seeks to offer fair and competitive pay and benefits to attract and retain teachers and appropriately qualified staff to deliver the Schools’ aims. The policy is reviewed annually taking into account inflation rates and industry benchmarks.
Annual remuneration for members of the Schools’ Senior Management Team is considered on an individual basis by the Finance and General Purposes Committee and recommended to the full Governing Body. The remuneration packages of the Head and Finance Director are benchmarked annually.
## **Reserves**
The Foundation holds free reserves so that it can respond to unforeseen charitable opportunities and continue to honour existing commitments in the event of a shortfall of income. Annual budgets are set to achieve a level of free cash flow to finance improvements to facilities and equipment and provide support for the bursary programme. The Governors have also established a Cash Reserve Fund, and regularly review the level of cash. Freely available reserves are calculated by taking the total unrestricted cash and investments and deducting any net current liabilities. At 31 August 2020 the Charity held free reserves of £3.8m, calculated as follows:
|
as follows:||
|---|---|
||£**m**|
|Unrestricted investments|4.7|

## Governance Matters
## **Public Benefit**
The Latymer Foundation is a public benefit entity under FRS102. The Governors consider the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance “Public Benefit: Running a Charity” (PB2), and incorporate detailed information on how this is adhered to within the Annual Report.
## **Governance Code**
The Governing Body regularly reviews its compliance with the Charity Governance Code considering the seven core principles alongside recommendations on how they might be applied. In addition, Board effectiveness surveys are conducted.
## **Recruitment and training of Governors**
The Chair of Governors convenes a Nominations Committee to identify and interview suitable individuals able to serve as Governors and make recommendations to the Governing Body on the appointment of new Governors. Governors follow the best practice induction guidelines issued by AGBIS (The Association of Governing Bodies of Independent Schools). These include a Disclosure and Barring Service check, a meeting with key Governors and management, the issue of a comprehensive pack of relevant papers, and a briefing document on Governors’ responsibilities. The Head, Finance Director and staff provide the Governors with induction training which introduces them to the workings of the School and the charitable trust. Governors are encouraged to undertake e-training provided by AGBIS and attend training workshops run by a number of organisations. Guest speakers are from time to time invited to attend Governors’ meetings to provide briefings on specific topics.
## **Decision-making**
Strategic decisions to determine the overall direction and long term goals are taken by the full Governing Body, at one of the five meetings per annum. These include approving budgets and strategic plans, and setting and reviewing policies and procedures that will ensure the best possible education for present and future pupils and the proper control of its finances.
The full Governing Body is supported by the following sub Committees
- **Finance and General Purposes Committee** which meets twice per term and makes decisions on key financial, staff, capital development, legal aspects and Charity matters
- **Audit and Risk Committee** which scrutinises the Foundation’s external audit, internal management and controls, compliance and mitigation of risk
- **Education and Pastoral Committee** which has oversight of the academic life and pastoral arrangements, provisions and policies
- **Investment Committee** which recommends policies for the Foundation’s investments and manages the performance of the investment managers
Decisions that affect the day-to-day management of the schools including pastoral welfare, academic progress, personnel, premises, resources and financial matters, are delegated to the Head and his management team.
23
L AT YMER FOUNDATION CONSOLIDATED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020
## **RISK MANAGEMENT**
The Governors have given consideration to the major risks to which the Foundation is exposed and satisfied themselves that systems, procedures and reserves are established in order to manage those risks. A Risk Register, including internal financial controls, is tabled at all meetings of the Schools’ Senior Management Team and reviewed in full by the Audit and Risk Committee termly. Key risks are annually considered by the Governing Body.
During 2019– 20, an additional risk register was created to manage operational risks in relation to COVID-19. The register was updated regularly to set out new arrangements to manage the School re-opening in line with Government guidance. Extraordinary Full Governor meetings were held to review and approve the risk registers prior to students returning to the School site.

## **Related parties**
The Latymer Foundation owns a subsidiary company – 1624 Limited – which hires out the School’s sports facilities and commenced trading operations in 2015. The Foundation has prepared Group financial statements consolidating the results of The Foundation and 1624 Limited. 1624 Limited’s results for the year were in line with expectations and are detailed in note 25 of the financial statements.
## **Going Concern**
The Trustees have conducted a thorough assessment of going concern prior to completion of their annual accounts. Following a review of budgets and forecasts, future cashflow projections and reserves, the Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Latymer Foundation’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Covid19 pandemic had an impact on the day to day operations and income levels for 2019– 20, however these were offset by a short term reduction in spending rather than affecting the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. In future years, the key risk to the Foundation is a fall in income from fees or other operating income. Trustees are confident they have adequate mitigations in place to manage these risks.

## Statement of Governors’ Responsibilities
## **The Governors are responsible for preparing the Governors’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.**
Charity law requires the Governors to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Governors are required to:
Financial statements are published on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements, which may vary from legislation in other jurisdictions. The maintenance and integrity of the charity’s website is the responsibility of the Governors. The Governors’ responsibility also extends to the ongoing integrity of the financial statements contained therein.
The Audit and Risk Committee of the Governors meets three times per year, and has a scrutiny and monitoring role relating to the Foundation’s external audit, internal management and controls, certain policies and compliance, and mitigation of risk.
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Governors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are 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.

## Independent Auditor’s Report
## **TO TRUSTEES OF LATYMER FOUNDATION AT HAMMERSMITH**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Latymer Foundation at Hammersmith (“the Parent Charity”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”) for the year ended 31 August 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, 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:**
- give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the Parent Charity’s affairs as at 31 August 2020 and of the Group’s income and expenditure for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and the Parent Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements 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 related to going concern**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
- the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
- the Trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Group or the Parent Charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
## **OTHER INFORMATION**
The other information comprises the information included in the Governors’ Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The other information comprises: Governors’ Report. The Trustees are responsible for the other information.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether 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.
27
L AT YMER FOUNDATION CONSOLIDATED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**

- the information contained in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees’ Annual Report; or
- proper accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Charity; or
- the Parent Charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of Trustees**

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Parent 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 Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the**

L AT YMER FOUNDATION CONSOLIDATED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020
**NOTES FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS**
**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020**
## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and effective 1st January 2019.
The functional currency of the School is considered to be GBP because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the School operates.
The accounts are drawn up under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of investments.
The Trustees conducted a thorough assessment of going concern prior to completion of their annual accounts. Following a review of budgets and forecasts, future cashflow projections and reserves, the Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about Latymer Foundation’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Covid19 pandemic had an impact on the day to day operations and income levels for 2019– 20, however these were offset by a short term reduction in spending rather than affecting the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements are therefore prepared on that basis.
The School is a public benefit entity registered as a charity in England and Wales. It was registered as a charity on 12 November 1963 (charity number: 312714).
In the application of the accounting policies, Governors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These include legacy recognition, total return accounting, the liability of the defined benefit pension scheme and the property revaluation. 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 to which they relate. In the view of the Governors, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts in the next financial year.
## Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 19.
## **Accounting for income**
School fees and related income are treated as income for the year to which they relate. Fees receivable are stated after deducting allowances, scholarships and other remissions granted by the School from its unrestricted funds, but include contributions received from endowment funds for scholarships, bursaries and other grants.
Cash donations, gifts, legacies and other income are recognised in the accounts as and when entitlement arises, the amount can be reliably quantified and the economic benefit to the School is considered probable where material.
Investment income is recognised in the accounting year in which it relates.
## **Expenditure**
All revenue expenditure is charged in the accounting year to which it relates. Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
## **Investments**
Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at open market value subject to existing leases.
Quoted and other investments are included in the balance sheet at market value. Unrealised gains and losses arising on the revaluation of investments are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **Consolidation**
The charity has a 100% owned subsidiary, 1624 Limited, a trading company established primarily for the new sports centre. Group accounts have been prepared, consolidating the results of this subsidiary on a line-by-line basis. Balances and transactions between the two entities are eliminated on consolidation. The unconsolidated results of the charity alone comprise total income of £32,743,000 (2019: £33,664,000) and net movement in funds for the year of £6,640,000 (2019: £7,730,000).
The principal accounting policies are:
## **Fund accounting**
The Permanent Endowment Fund is represented by part of the School’s freehold property held at 31 August 1996, and the investment proceeds of former investment properties.
Resources received for specific purposes, where the Governors are given power to retain them or expend them, are disclosed in an appropriate Expendable Endowment Fund.
Resources received for specific purposes where the Governors do not have the power to choose how to expend them are disclosed as Restricted Funds.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
School buildings and other educational properties are stated at existing use value with vacant possession. The School has elected, in accordance with Section 35.10(d) of FRS 102, to use the carrying value on 1 September 2014, the date of transition to FRS 102, of the School’s freehold interests in land and buildings previously carried at a valuation, as their deemed cost. This valuation was at 31 August 2013 on the basis of Market Value for Existing Use. Depreciation on this freehold property (excluding land) is provided at 4% on a reducing balance basis in the first full accounting year following acquisition.
Other resources are shown as Unrestricted Funds to be applied at the discretion of the Governors. A proportion of the unrestricted accumulated surplus income is held in a designated Buildings and Bursary Fund, to assist in financing future expenditure on tangible fixed assets and bursaries.
L AT YMER FOUNDATION CONSOLIDATED REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2020
33
## **NOTES FORMING PART OF THE ACCOUNTS**
**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020** (continued)
Depreciation is provided to write off cost, less estimated residual values, over their expected useful lives from when first brought into use. Depreciation is calculated at:
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Motor vehicles 25% per annum on cost
Office Equipment 25% per annum on cost
Computer and Teaching equipment 33% per annum on cost
Furniture and fittings 20% per annum on cost
**----- End of picture text -----**
All tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 (£2,500 from September 2020) are capitalised and included at cost, including any incidental expenses of acquisition and irrecoverable VAT.
## **Debtors**
Trade 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.
## **Termination and redundancy benefits**
Termination and redundancy costs are accounted for in the year in which the compensation agreement is signed.
## **Operating leases**
Costs incurred under non-cancellable operating leases for machinery and equipment are charged on a straight line basis over the lease terms, even if the payments are not made on such a basis
## **Financial instruments**
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **Total return accounting**
## **Creditors**
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.
## **Parents’ deposits**
The School receives a deposit from parents upon acceptance of a place for their child. Up until 2017 the School refunded 50% by deduction from the first term’s bill, and the remaining 50% after the pupil leaves. For pupils joining from 2017, 100% of the deposit is retained until after the pupil leaves. The proportion of deposits refundable within 12 months of the balance sheet date is treated as a current liability; the proportion refundable after 12 months is shown as a long-term creditor.
## **Pension costs**
Contributions to the Teachers’ Pension Scheme are charged to the statement of financial activities in the year in which they become payable. The Teachers’ Pension Scheme 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) where it is not possible to identify the School’s share of the assets and liabilities. See note 9 for more information on the scheme.
During the year the trustees resolved to adopt the total return approach to investments held in the permanent endowment fund with an effective date of 1[st] August 2020. Under this approach, the amount of the total return from the permanent endowment fund (that is the income arising and any capital gains) to be used to fund current expenditure on charitable activities is determined by the trustees, rather than simply being the investment income for the year. By adopting this approach, there is no requirement for the investment portfolio to generate a set level of income and this allows greater investment flexibility, which in turn may also increase overall returns. In addition, the approach permits the trustees to more easily maintain a balance between current and future beneficiaries.
The Trustees have used the value of the investments at 31[st] August 2006 to represent the ‘Preserved Value’ of the fund. This was the earliest known value of the endowed properties which were sold to create the fund in its current form. This assessment was made in the year ended 31 August 2020.
The Governors have adopted a policy for managing the unapplied total return fund which will be applied from 1 September 2020 and will be reviewed every three years. The Governors wish to ensure the value of the Preserved Investment Fund is maintained in real terms and this will be achieved by transferring the annual CPI adjustment components as at 31[st] May from the unapplied total return fund. The Governors may also transfer 3% of the fund balance as at 31[st] May to income over the following year, subject to approval by the Finance and General Purposes Committee. In setting their policy the Governors have taken advice from Smith & Williamson LLP, Chartered Accountants.
Contributions to the School’s group stakeholder pension scheme are charged to the statement of financial activities in the year in which they become payable.
Contributions to the School’s defined benefit scheme are charged to the statement of financial activities so as to spread the cost of pensions over employees’ expected working lives with the School. Variations to pension costs caused by differences between the assumptions used and actual experience are spread over the average remaining working lives of the current employees at each actuarial valuation date.

## **8 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS**
No governor received remuneration. Two governors were reimbursed for travelling expenses which totalled £256 (2019: £376).
In accordance with paragraph 27 of its Governance Scheme dated 3 August 1998 the School maintains insurance to indemnify Board members. Premiums paid during the year amounted to £2,916 (2019: £2,464).
Transactions with parents who are Governors are completed on an arm’s length basis.
The Governor Nicholas Jordan is also a director of the subsidiary company 1624 Limited.
## **9 PENSION COSTS**
## **Teachers’ Pension Scheme**
The School participates in the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (“the TPS”) for its teaching staff. The pension charge for the year includes contributions payable to the TPS of £2,280,886 (2019: £1,557,670) and at the year-end £279,153 (2019: £211,112) 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 2019, confirmed that the employer contribution rate for the TPS would increase from 16.4% to 23.6% from 1 September 2019. 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 2019. 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 2019 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. A consultation was launched by the government on 16 July 2020, and closed to responses on 11 October 2020.
of Appeal’s ruling in the McCloud/Sargeant case and until there is certainty about the value of pensions to employees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020 and the government is preparing to complete the cost control element of the 2016 valuations, which is expected to be completed in 2021.
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 the consultation and the cost cap mechanism review are completed 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.
## **The Latymer Foundation Group Stakeholder Pension Scheme**
The School operates a Group Stakeholder pension scheme for support staff. Employees contribute a minimum 5% of their salary, and the School 11%.
The total cost of the contributions to this scheme made by the charity for these employees was £419,920 (2019: £400,891).
Under the Government’s auto-enrolment legislation the School’s staging date was February 2014. Since that date all support staff choosing not to join the Latymer Foundation Group Stakeholder Pension Scheme have been auto-enrolled into the Government’s NEST scheme. The cost of contributions to this scheme was £2,449 (2019: £2,458).
## **The Latymer Upper School Pension and Life Assurance Scheme**
The Latymer Upper School Pension and Life Assurance Scheme is a defined benefit scheme established for former support staff. This scheme was closed to new members in 1994, and closed to future accruals in 2009.
A full actuarial valuation of the defined benefit scheme was carried out at 1 November 2016 and updated to 31 August 2020 by a qualified independent actuary. The major assumptions at 31 August 2020 used by the actuary were:
||2020|2019|
|---|---|---|
|Rate of increase in pensions in payment|5.0%|5.0%|
|Rate of revaluation in deferment (CPI)|2.2%|2.1%|
|Discount rate|1.6%|1.6%|
|Infation assumption|3.2%|3.1%|
Mortality follows the standard table known as PCXA00 with long cohort mortality improvements.
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 2018 announced that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanism following the Court

## **21 PERMANENT ENDOWMENT FUNDS**
By way of a resolution, made in accordance with the Charities (Total Return) Regulations 2013, the trustees adopted a total return approach to the investment component within the Permanent Endowment Fund on 1[st] August 2020. On adoption of the total return approach, the fund was analysed between the trust for investment, being the value realised from the sale of the endowed property in 2007 and the unapplied total return, being the balance of the fund. In agreeing the initial unapplied total return value, Trustees took the value of the investments at 31[st] March 2020. They also agreed a policy for managing the unapplied total return, however this did not become effective until 1st September 2020 therefore during this reporting period there were no transfers made from the unapplied total return fund to either the Preserved Investment Fund or income. The calculations are set out below:
