Statement of Publlc Benefrt 2024125
We have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing
our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In parb'cular, the Trustees consider how planned
aclivities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The Foundation provides public benefrt in the following vRys slated in its objectives: _
To secure the future of the school: this will involve the maintenance and development of the school
buildlngs in order to enhance the educational environment and experience of its pupils.
The sthool is comprehensive, serving Ihe local community by provid+ng educatton free of charge for girls
(and boys in the sixth fonn).
The Foundation has committed to fund a total 10°A contribution for all the capital fijnds committed. 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. The school has other lettings during the
week and weekends which provides a regular income.
All school employees and volunteers are regularty DBS checked to ensure thal risk to the school and its students is
minlmised. DBS certlficates are renewed every three years. Senior members of staff have all undertaken safer

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.

rèpresent an investment opportunity for the Foundation and futher advbce woukl need to be sought about the
safest and most efficient investrnent vehicles.

school, Maln Hall and 61h form hall refurt￿shrn8nt and the soundproofing of some classrooms in the Camden Building
The DFC fundlng has been committed to classroom furniture, IT equipment and CCTV.
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 re￿iVeS the majority of its fitnding through the Department for Education (purely as capitsl
grants), the occasional legacy and dOnat￿S from parents and friends of the school.
The general fundraising has InC￿aSed 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. Report and the financtal staternents in accordance

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. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wilh ISAS {UK) will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of Ihese financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain
professronal ￿epti¢l$M throughout the audit. We also:
Page 8

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 e￿Or. 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 Un￿rtaInty 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 fi￿lingS, 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

Accountlng polScles
(a) Basis of accountlng
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable In
the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The Chaiity is a public benefit entity for the purposes of FRS 102 and
iherefore the Charty also prepared its financial statements in accordance with ihe Statement of Recommended
Praclice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (The FRS 102 CharÉties SORP) and the Charities Act 2011.
Notes to the accounts
For the year ended 31st March 2025
The Charity is a public benefit company for the purposes of FRS 102. The Financial Ststements are prepared in
sterling which is the functs'onal currency of the entity. Monetsry amounts in these Financial Statements are
rounded to the nearest pound.
Going concem
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered
possible events or conditions that might cast significanl doubl on the ability of the charity to continue as a going
concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of
Ihe financial statements. Whilst doriations may fall. the majority of income is from grants which are received to
facilitate works to the buiklings and these works are only committed to if furKling is in place - which they are for
at least 12 months from the signing of the balance sheet. 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.
