The sthool is comprehensive, serving Ihe local community by provid+ng educatton free of charge for girls (and boys in the sixth fonn).

This enabled irnprovements to the premises and the purchase of equipment up to the value of £610.872 during 2024-25. These improvements enhanced the education provided and reduced future revenue costs. The use of the school for musical education provides a benefit to the people of the Carnden area. The Music Service run by Camden Local Authority hires the school for its pupils regularly at weekends throughout the year. The scho)l aEso hosts rehearsals for adult musical societies and a regular programme of open concerts, including one specifically aimed at children, available free to the local community.

Raserves Policy 1115 the responsibility of the trustees of the Foundation to maintain sufficient funds to fulfil the role of the Trust regarding the financial conlribution lowards the maintenance arKI development of the school buildings as required of the foundation of a voluntary aided school. It has been the policy of the chanty to maintain tts free reserves at a level which exceeds 3 months of current year expenditure. It was agreed that the Foundation would endeavour to increase the amount of free reserves over Ihe coming years to £450,000. The main expenditure of the Foundation consists of contributions to capital projects for which the expenditure pattern is known in advance. Other operational expenditure is balanced for cash flow by regular income from donations by standing order. Capital payments are kept in a Natwest account and all new furKI raising is paid into the Co-op account. As at 31 st March 2025, the charity had total resep4es of £9.519,018 of which £8.759.557 were restricted funds (mainly buildings and land). The remainder of £759.461 presented general reserves. which are being maintained to help fund the future commitments of the school in relation to equipment. refurbishment. new building etc. Of these, £36.518 was held in long term investments, £52,350 in athork and £60.727 in longer term deposit accounts. Cash serveS are distributed with the intention that no more than £85.000 is held with any one Institution. This may not always be possible on receipt of large grants to cover larger building projects.

Investment Pollcy The trustees, investment Powers are governed by the Trust Deed which pemiils the chariws funds to be invested in any security approved by the Board of Trustees. Investments are currently maintained in medium risk funds partly based on gilts, stocks and shares, generating bolh income and capital. The Board's policy is to maintain the extsting investment portfofio whilst drawing an adequate income to support the charity's objects. This is reviewed on an annual basis by the trustees. Funding Sour¢o5 The charity reiVeS the majority of its fitnding through the Department for Education (purely as capitsl grants), the occasional legacy and dOnatS from parents and friends of the school. The general fundraising has InCaSed from £91,085 (23124) unrestrrcted to £116,690 (24125) unrestricted. The school, trustees and CASCA continue with the usual fundraising and social events. Trustees request donations from the parent body explaining the school's voluntary aided status and its need to raise funds every year. The Foundation does not fundraise from the general public. All donations a tracked by the school's finance office and acknowledged by the school's fundraising assistanl or the headteacher in the case of significant donations. Gift Aid is claimed on eligible donations via the Charities Aid Foundation charity fundraising service. It is Foundation policy to maintsin investments in accounts for charlties. which exclude stocks in areas such as tobacco and amiaments. The Foundation has two small investments in total now £97,245 (2023-24: £96,891). The smaller investment of £36,518 incTeased In value by approximately £353 and there is no apparent change that would affect th8 Foundation adversaEy in the long term. One of the bank accounts is held with the Co4)perative bank primarity for effectiveness and ser4ice reasons but a supporting factor is the Co-operative's ethical trading poltcy. We have also opened 2 accounts (CAF Gold & CAF Cash) with CAF Bank. This is to ensure that are guaranteed protectÉon for £85.000 of our savings as per the bank limiL Rlsk Revlew As part of the charitvs planning, there is a process to assess business risks and to implernent risk management strategies. This invofves identifying the types of risk the charity faces. prioritising them in tenns of potential impact and likelihood of occurrence and identifying the means of mitigating the risks. The charity has a risk management policy in place. which was ratified in November 2008 and has since been reviewed and updated. The risk management polFCy shows all risks which have been identified and what steps are being taken to mitigate these risks. E.g for fundraising risk- regular fundraising ffleetings are held, for stralegic planning risk- review of aims and objectives each year, for conflict of interest risk- declarakn'on of interests made each year. The major risks lo the Foundation are: The increased lack of funding. identifying and appointing suitable Trustees and having a strategic plan ft)r the Foundation. All three of these risks are agenda items at the Tmstees. Meetings. Responslbllltl•s of the Trustees The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees.

If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there Fs a material misstatement in the financial slatements themselves. If. based on Ihe work we have performed, we conclude that Ihere is a material misststement 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 followng matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to rep¢)rt to you if. in our opinion". the informab'on given in the Trustees.

Auditorfs responsibS1ities for the audlt of the financlal statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that ACL Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboui whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatemeni, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.

The Camden School Foundation of Frances Mary Buss Independent Auditorfs Report to the Trustees of The Camden School Foundation of Frances Mary Buss (Continued) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or eOr. design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error. as fraud rnay involve collusion, forgery, intentional ornissions, misrepresentations. or the overrKle of intemal conlrol. Obtain an underslanding of intemal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstsnces. but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitys inlemal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting poficies used and the ieasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the tnjstees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going concem basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained. whether a material uncertainty exisis related to events or conditions that may cast signfficanl doubt on the charty's ability to continue as a going ncern. If we conclude that a material UnrtaInty exisls. we are required to draw attention in our audrtor's report lo the related disclosures in the financial statements or, rf such disdosures are inadequate. to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditorfs report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charily to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluale the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures. and whether the financial statements represent the undetying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with govemance regarding. among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and signrficant audit filingS, including any significant deficiencies in Intemal control that we identify during our audiL Explanatlon as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detectlng Irregularitles. including fraud Irregularities. induding fraud, are instances of noTh<ompliance 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 Srregularities, includlng fraud is detailed below. The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud. are." to idenlify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to Iraud. to obtain suffiaent appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of maierial misststement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instsnces of fraud or suspected fraud identified during Ihe audit. However. the primary responsibillty for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with govemance of the charity. Our approach was as follows: We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charity and considered that the most significant are the Charities Act 2011. the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by Ihe Financial Reporting Council. Page 9
The Camden School Foundation of Frances Mary Buss Independent Auditorfs Report to the Trustees of The Camden School Foundation of Frances Mary Buss {Contlnued) We oblained an understanding of how the charity complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with govemance. We assessed the risk of material misslatement of the financial statements. including the rfsk of material misststement due to fraud and how it might occur. by holding discussions with rnanagemenl and those charged with govemance. We inquired of management and those charged with govemance as to any knovm instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance wth laws and regulations. Based on this understsnding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtsining additional corroborative evidence as required. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not ck)sely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial ststements. Also. the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by. for example, forgery or intentional misrepresenlations, or through collusion. Use of our report This report is made solely to the Charity's trustees. as a body. in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audÉt work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charlty's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullesl extent pennitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to any paty other than the charity and charivs trustees as a body. for our audtl work. for this report, or for the opinion we have formed.

After making enquiries the trustees have concluded that Ihere is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the 12 months from the date the accounts have been sioned. The charity therefore continues to adopt Ihe going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. (b) Income Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets. are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable. Where entitlement to grant income requires a specific perfonTran to be achieved (i.e. perfonnance related grant) then incoming resources are recognised onty to ihe extent that the performance has tsken place. Where monies are received in advance of entitlement they are deferred and only recognised when the activity providing an enkn'llement to this income has taken place. (c) Resources expended All expenditure is accounted for on an accfua15 basis. Resources expended are recognised in the period in whith they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. Stsff cost expenses are allocated on the basis of time spent during the year. A proportion of salary costs for the bursar. finance staff and clerk are recharged to the charity from Ihe school. (dl Depreclatlon Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful lrfe as follows: Freehold buildings 50 years - Straight line basis Fixtures and equipment 25Yo reducing balance Items are capitalised Ithere the purchase pri of the asset or total project exceeds £2.000. Each dass of assel is valued at cost. Page 14
