GOVERNOR'S REPORT (including a Strategic Report) For the year ended 31 August 2023 STRATEGIC REPORT (continued) Financlal revlew Resufts ft*r the year Income for the year was £3.911.984 {2022- £3.621.8631, including £3.640,8(2D22- £3,398,307) in respect of gross school fees and £61,74212022 - £44,412> in respect of total bursaries. Expenditure was £3.661,75612022- £3.459.706}. Expenditure includes £2,584,94012022- £2,403.280} Sn respect of staff costs: £18,830 {2022- £22,076) for interest on the bank loans and £161.33é12022-£170,989} in respect of depreciation charges. The net income for the year was £250,22812022- £162,157). Resee$ policy The GovernoTS have examined the requirement for free reserves {also refèrred to as the general fund). i.e. those unrestricted funds not invested in tangible fixed assets, designated for specific purposes or otherwise committed. The Governors consider that, given the nature of the school's work, the level of free reserves should be equivalent to the lgrmly expenditure at 8ny one time. Based on Gurrent expenditure levels this shouSd be in the region of £1,200,000. The Govemors believe that this level of reserves would provide SLrficient flexibility to respond to unforeseen emergencies whilst specific action plans are implemented. In addition. the school retains a healthy Gash reserve that is Capable of meeting anliclpated future li8bllllies. Financial position The balance sheet shows total funds of £5,324,875. The tangible frx8d assets fund of£3.660,173 represents the net bcrf)k value ofthè school's tangiblefixed ass8ls less the related borrowings. General funds of the school at 31 August 2023 are £1.530,866 and the Head's Discretionary fvnd was £5.430. Overall, the Governors Consider the affairs of the school lo be satisfactory but they are aware of the need to monitor ils resources closely: the potential financial and polillcal issues facing independent schools,. and the naed lo constsntly monitor budgets and forecasts. Fixed assets The main asset of the school Is the Ireehold building. Acquisitions and disEM)sals of fixed assets durlng the year are recorded in the notes to the financial statements. Summary The 2022-2023 financlal year saw a marginal improvement in trading condittons for the school. The School ended the year with a surplus of £250k and a cash balance of £2.7m. Incorne increased by 8Vo year-Dn.year. This was primari driven by a small increase in average pupil number8 from 211 to 215 and a 5.6% Increase in fees, below inflation. Costs Increased by 5.80/0. reflecting the inflationary environment across both salarigs and other costs. 12
GOVERNOR'S REPORT (including a Strategic Report) For the year ended 31 August 2023 STRATEGIC REPORT IcDnlinuvdl Financial revlew {continuedl In the Autumn Term of 2022, the BDar(I made a one-off increase in the salary scales of certain staff categories to ensure they did not fall behind the recently agreed levels of pay in the m21nt8ined Sector and lo support those members of staff on the lowest incorNes, noting the material IneaSe in the cost of Ilving. A Board sub-commlttee was then formed to review th@ Dverall salary sliucture for all staff. This review led to differentiated salary increases for different scales and staff categories in order lo better align staff pay with the markel. The Board established a pay policy lo seek lo mainlain a small premium to comparable salaries in the maintained sector. The ongoing elevated level of UK inflation continues lo presenl challenges for the School. For exarllple. significant increases in thè cost of living could cause some families to reassess household expen¢Jilure, and while the School's energy pricÈs are largely fixed until late 2024. its costs have risen materlally in olh&r areas. Teaching salaries are subject lo an inflatlonary environmènt and we note the Government's pay settlement in Summer 2023 to increase salaries in the maintained Sector by an average of 6.5Q/o. The proposed removal of business rale relief for Charities represents a signrficanl future headwind at an &slimated additional cost of£160k a year. There has been a lot of Coverage in the media of the risk of VAT being applied to school fees. and Ihe polenllal loss of charitable ststus. depending on the outcome of the next electlon and the policy choices of ihg Govemment al Ihat lime. Should VAT be applied to school fees. there is a material risk lo pupil number5 at all fee-paying schools, as some parents land prospective parents) may consider alternative options lo fee-paying schools. This risk ts compounded by the ongoing cost of living crisis. C8sh levels are continuously monitored, and the School en5ure5 at least a 18rm's worth of exnditUreS is readily available. This yearthe Board elecltsd to take advantage of higher interest rates and increased to £1.2m the amount of surplus cash in three separate savings facilities with welkknown UK banks, increasing our interest income considgrabty. The Board remains focused on managing these challenges and m8intsining a disciplined and prudent approach lo financial management. The Board is very conscious of the risks lo pupil numbers across the sector and is CDnsidering a number of scenariog as it plans for the years ahead. The School is fortunate to have material cash resBrves as this p&riod of uncertainty continues. Acknowledgèment The Governors would like lo express their thanks lo those Cavendish leavers who generously donated their deposits to the School's Bursary Fund. Future plans The Head has continued to bring a huge amount of energy lo the school, introducing many new inilialives and being very successful in bringing parents, staff and Governors along with her in the implementation of new ideas and processes. A new Senior Deputy Head (Strategy & Operations) stsrted in S6ptÈmber 2023 and has made an immediat8 and vary positive ifflpact on the life of the School. 13

Auditorfs Responsibilitigs for the audlt of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtsln reasonable assurance aLKJul wholher the financial slalements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an audhor's report that includes our opinion. Ra8s0nable assurance is a high level of assuranGe, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in acCOrdae with ISAS IUKI will always det8cI a material misslalementwhen It exlsls. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consid@r6d material if, individually or in aggregate. they Could reasonably b8 expeoled to influence the e¢0M1¢ decisions of users taken Dn the basis of Ihe8e financial stslements. As part of an audll Sn accordanc& with ISAS IUKI we exercise profession81 judg8ment and maintaln professional scepliciswn throughout the aLKIII. We al¥o'.

The risk of not detècting a material misslalèm¢nt resulting from fraud is higher than lor one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of intsmal control relevant to the audll in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate In the circumstances, bul not for the purpose8 of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable Gompany's internal control.

If we conclude that a material uncertainly exisls. we are required to draw allenlion in our auditor'5 report to the related disclosuS in the financial ststements or, if Such disclosures are inadequato, lo rnodify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the dale of our auditor's report. However, lulure evenl8 or conditions may cause the tharitable ¢ompany to cease to Gonllnue as a golng concem.

We desSgn procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, lo delect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedure5 are capable of detecting irregularflles. including frautj Ss detalled below. The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are,. to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due lo fraud- lo obtain 8Lrfftcienl appropriate audit evidence arding the assessed risks of material misslalement due lo fraud. through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks,. and lo respond appropriately lo instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. How8v8r, the wimary r8sponsibility for th8 prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with govemance of the charilabla company. Our apFwach was as follows.. We obtained an understanding of legal and regulatory requirements applKable to the haritsble company and considered that the most significant aro the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011. the Charlty SORP. and UK firbancial retx>rting stsndards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council We obtained an understanding of how the charitable company complies with these requ1ments by discussions with management and th089 charged with govemance. We assessed tha risk of material misstatement of the financial ststements, incILlg the risk of material misstatement due lo fraud and how it might ctcur. by holding discussions with managamenl and those charged with governance. We inquired of management and those charged with govemance as lo any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations. Based on this understsnlllng, we designed specific appropriatè audit proceduras to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative 8vid8nce as required. There are Inh&renl IlmStalions In the audit procedures described above. We areloss lik&ly to becomè aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not delecling a material misstslement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not delecling one resulting from error. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intention81 misrepresentstions, or through collusion. 18
