The Trust provided £500k to fund an enhancement of the Pre-Prep facilty at Dulwich Prep London vthich was completed in August 2021. While much of the Trust's property is freehold it leasas parts of its London facilities from the Dulwich Estate.

Charity legislation includes a requirement to demonstrate public benefrt for any charitable purpose where it had hitherto been presumed in the absence of evidence to the contrary. This calls in tum for wmrnensurate disdosur8 of our public benefrt aims. The awarding of bursaries for the needy is a measurable means of providing public benefrt. The Board takes the wew that bursarieg awarded to those who would not othorwsc bc ablc to afft)rd the fees are important, but not lo the exclusion of the much wider benefrt that the Trust provmjes within the community. Th8 Trust's public benefit commitrnent is CuentlY delivered primarily thfough the two Schools, each of which has a bursary programme. During the year the Trust's Schools provid8d means-tested bursary support totalling £449k to 40 pupils (2021.. £445k to 38 pupils) of which 18 were for 70% or more of full fees. In addition. there was support for local Gharitios and educational bodies through fund-rai3ing aclivities, outreach programmes and tho loan of facilities. Both the Trust's Schools acts'vely promote child mentsl health awareness Vth Dulwich Prep London employing a dedicated counsellor while Dulwich Prep cranbr¢)k retains Place2Be. Although more limited than in previous years due to COVID-19, a number of state schocAs benefrted from the Trust's Schools in a variety of ways from the use of facilities to support from staff. The Trust does not eNJage with any exiemal third party fundraisers. There have been no complaints in the period regarding inappropriate or intrusive contact in relation to fundraisin9

DULWICH PREPARATORY SCHOOLS TRUST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 The Trustees have considered Ihe reserv8s policy and have conduded that no adjustments to the policy n8ad to be mad@. Golng concern All the pupils retumed to the Schools for the start of the Autumn Tenn 2022. However, the continued risks associated with Covid and the possibility of further lockdowns are encouraging a cautious approach. The future strategy at both Schools is currenuy under consideration and Oulwich Prep Cranbrook has announced the intention to expand to ag8 16+ No decision on future strategy has yel been taken at Dulwich Prep London. However, negotiations have been opened with Southwark CouncAI over the assiqnment of the unexpired temi of their lease of the Mary Datchelor plawng fields from the DUKCh Estate. Having ass8s3ed both the Trust's and the Group's finaiiudl pv>itiDn an(J its available facilltles, the risks to which it is exposed and the detailed cash projections noted above the Trustees are satisfied that il remains appropriate lo prepare the ststements on a going conrn basis.

To retain high perfoming staff and provide them wrth developmental training. To continu8 to develop the Schcrf)Is' sites as and when required to fulfil the Schools, strategies. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The Trustees consider the affordabilty of fees by parents across the independent sector to be the principal risk faced by the Trust. This risk is likely to increase as the future financial impact of Covid-19 emerges in the coming months and years. Furthermore, polential changes lo the tax and charitable ststus of independent schools introduced by future govemments pose an additional challenge. Enrolm8nt is a critical issue at both Schools and this is dosely monitored by the Trust Health and Safety is always a significant area for risk management. The risks range from fire and infrastructure to personal risks {most notably when away from the campus on trips and expeditions). The level and breadth of activity at th8 SchLKJls is impressive and the risk5 associated with all activities are minimised by thorough annIng and risk assessment.

Reasonable assuranrA iq x high level of assurancA9, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wth ISAS (UK) will always detect a malerfal mlsstatement when it exists. Misstatemenls can anse from Iraud or emr and are consid8r8d matèrial rf. individually or in tho 2ggre9ate, they could raasonably be expectad to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Delails of the exlent to which the audit was ¢onsKlered capable of deteding irregularities. induding fraud and non<ompliance wtth lav45 and regulations are set out below. A further d8SCriPtion of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: wvth.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detèctlng Irregularitles, includlng fraud Irregularities. induding fraud, are instances of non-compliance v4ith laws and regulations. We Idenlffled and assessed the Msks of material misststement of the financial staiements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error. and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and perfomied audit procedures responsive to those risks. Inciuding obtaining audit evidenc8 sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameV1kS within which the charitable company and group operates, focuslng on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the detemiination of material amounts and disdosures in the financial ststements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, tsxation legislation, together bvith the Charities SORP IFRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and reoulalions as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the flnanclal statements bui compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitablo wmp8ny's and th8 Group's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may est ¥thin the charitable company and the Group for fraud. The laws and regulalions we considered in this context for the UK operations were The Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014, Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Health and safety legislation and employment legislation. Auditing standards limit the required audil procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations lo enquiry of Ihe Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irr8gularities, induding fraud, to be within th6 timing of recognition of rental income, and the overrid8 of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Audtt Committee about their own identification and assÈssmènt of IhB risks of irr8oulariti8s, sampl8 testing on the posting of joumals. reviewing accounting estimates for biases, revievAng any regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission. Independent Schools Inspectorate, Ofsled and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with govemance. 13
DULWICH PREPARATORY SCHOOLS TRUST INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit. there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have deteded soffte material misstaleiiienls iii Ili¥ firianGial 51aleTnents, even though have properly planned and perfomied our audit in accordance wtth auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with la%%s and regulations (irre9ularilies} is from Ihe events and transactions reflecied in ihe financial Sialements, the less likely the Innerenuy limited proc8durgs raquirad by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as wth any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve lusion, forgery. intentional omissions, misrepresentations. or th8 override of internal controls.
