Re5pon5ibilities of Governor5
As explained more fully in the Statemeni of Governors, responsibilities set out on page 10. the Governor5 (who
are also the Dire¢tors of the charitablc company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements and for being 5at15fied that they give a true and fair view. and for such
internal control as the Govemors d¢tertnine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial staiementS that
are free from material missiaiement. whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements. the Governors are responsible for assessing the charitable company's
ability lo continue as a going7 conLern. disclosing, as applitable. matters related tts going concern and iisingi th¢
going concem basis of accouniingF unless the Trllstees ¢lth¢r inicnd io liquidate the charitabl¢ cornpany or to
¢a5¢ operarions, or have no realistic alternative but to do $0.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of th¢ finanelal statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material rnisstatemeni. whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonabl¢ assurance is a higjl) level Lif assurance, but is not a gllardnt¢e that an audit condiicted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always deteci a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are coiisidered marerial if, IndividL￿lIY or in ihe a(t(tregate, Ihey could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions of userg taken on the basis of these financial staiement5.
The extent to which the audit wa5 considered capable of detecting irregularili¢5, including fraud
Irregulariiies are instances of non-conipliance with laws and regjulations. The objectives of our audit are to
obtain sulricieni appropriate alldii evidence i'ebjai'ding complianct with laws and regulations that have a direct
effect on the detemiination of material ainoiiiits aiid disclosures in th¢ financial siatements. to perfom) aiidit
procedures to help identity instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a
material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriaiely io identified or suspected
non-compliance with laws and regulation5 ideiitified durin¥ Ihe audit.
In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are io identify and assess th¢ risk of material missratement of the
financial slateinents due lo fraud. to obiaiii sufficient appropriate audit evidence reuarding the assessed risks of
material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond
appropi'iately to fraud or su5PgCted fraud identified durinÉF the audit.
However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversighi of those tha￿ed with govemance,
to ensure that tlie entity's operativns are conducied in accordance with the provisions of laws and renularions and
for the preventloll 2nd detection of Iralld.
In idenlilyiniT and assessing risks of material misstaiemeni in respect of i￿egularl11eS. including fraud, the audit
enga¥einent team..
obtained an understanding of the nature of the sector. including the legal and reuulatory framework Ihat
the cliaritable company operates in and how the charitable company is complyin.
with the legal and
regulatory framework;
12

Channing House Incorporated, Highgate
inquired of management, and those Charged witli governance, about their own identification and
assessment of the risks of irregularitie5, including any known actual. Suspected or alleged instances of
fraud;
discussed matters about non-compliance wtih laws and iegulatlOll5 and lTrow fraud might occur
including ass¢ssiMent of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud.
As a result of these procedures we consider the most siunificaiit laws and regulations that have a direci iinpaci
on Ihe financial statements are FRS 102, Charities SORP (FRS 10?). Companies Aci 2006, Cliarities Act 2011
and the charitable company's tsov¢ming documeni. We perfomied audit procedures to detect iion-¢onipliances
which may have a maierial impact on the financial statement5 which included reviewing the financial slareinenis
the Governo￿, Report and remaining alert lo new or uniisual transactions which illay not be in
accordance with the governing documents.
The most significant laws and regulations Ihat have an indirect impact on the finaneial statements are The
Education Ilndependent School Siandards) Regulations 2014, Keeping Childrell Safe in Education under section
175 of tlie Educaiion Act 2002, and Ihe UK General Data Protection Regulation {UK GDPRI. We perlormed
aiidit procedures to inquirl of management and those Charged with governance wheth¢r the charitable company
is in coinplian¢¢ with these laws and regulations and inspected correspondence with regulaiory authorities.
The aud￿1 engag?emeni ieam id¢ntified the risk of manaiyenient override of controls a5 the area where Ihe
rinancial statemenis were m05t Susceptible to material mi5Statem¢nt due to fraud. Aiidit procedures perfomied
included bui were not liinited to iesiing manual journal entries and other adjustinents, evaluating Ihe business
rationale in relaiion io significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outsid¢ the normal coutse
of business and challenging judgments and estiniates.
A further descripiion of our responsibilities for rhe atidit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reponiiig Council's website at http'.Ilwww.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms pan of our
auditol S Teport.

Statemeni of Recommended Practice I'SORP {FRS102)' effective l January 20191 and Financial Reportin
Standard 102. The accounts are drawn up on the historical accounting basis except that investments held as
fixed asseis are carried at market value. The School meets the definition of a public benefit eniity under
FRSIO2.
The financial statenients are prepared in sterling. which is th¢ functional currency of the School. Mon¢tary
amounts in these financial siateinents are rounded to the nearest thousand pounds.
GOING CONCERN
Tlie nature of (he School'5 aciiviiies is such that fee income repiEsent5 the majority of th¢ School's income. Fee
income ig billed and received one term in advance. Forecasts are produced taking account of ihe tiining and
quantity of fee income, likely expenditure profile. These forecasts are provided ro the Goveriiors. On ihis basis
no material uncertainties that may cast si£Jnificant doubt abolit the ability ot. the School to coniinue as a sjoing
concern liave been identified by the Governors. Therefore, the Governors have concluded to prepare the
accounts on a going concern basis.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGF.MENTS
Iii the application of the accollniing policies. where the value of asset5 and liabilities are ngt readily appa￿￿t
fiDm other sources, accountin&T e51imates and judgjcmenis are made based on historical ex￿rIence and otlier
factors. including future expectations, which are considered io be ￿aSOnable in the circumstances.
The estiniates and und¢rlyingT assumpiions concerning the futurc are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions io
ac¢ountinLT estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is Tevised. Accoiinting? e5tthJnaies and
assumptions, will, by definition. seldom eqllal the actual results.
DONATIONS, LEGACIES, GRANTS AND OTHER VOLUNTARY INCOME
Voluntary income is accounted for as and when entiilemeni arises, the amount can be reliably quantified and the
economic benefit io the School is considered probable.
Voluntary income for the S¢hool'5 general purpose is accounted for as unrestricted and is credited to Retained
Inclime.
Where the donor or an appeal has imposed Testrictions. volufttary income is ¢redited to the relevant restrieted
fund.
FEES RECEIVABLE AND SIMILAR INCOME
Fees receivable comprise fees charÉTed to pupi15, net of Scholarship5, Bursaries and allowances ar¢ net of Value
Addod Tax, and are accounted for in the year in which the serviee is provided.
Pupi15 joining the School are required to pay a deposit which is ihen applied against the pupil's final terni's fee
bill. Reasonable assumptions aiE mad¢ r¢gJardin¥ Ihe rime pupils will reinain with the Sehool in assessing when
the deposits held will be applied to offset the pupil's fees for their final term.
EXPENDITURE
Expendilure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable. Expenditure attributable lo more than one
cost categyory iii ihe Siattiment of Financicil Activities is apportioned on tl)e basis of the actiwities siaff are
involved in. Certain c05t5 are netted otTagFain5t relaied income when it is appropriate ro do so.
The School became regTlStered for Value Added Tax on l December ?024. All expenditure prioi. to this date is
included in the Cxpeiise catetsory to which it relates inclusive of any Value Added Tax. Expenditure after this

retrospective Value Added Tax has been included within'oiher Income" and is s¢parately disclosed in note 2.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSF.TS
Land and buildings are carri¢d in the balance Sheet at original cost less accumulated depreciation as the
Governors Consider thai li is not appropriate lo incur the expense of obiainincy valuations of such assets. The ¢ost
of new buildinÉFs is added 10 fixed as5¢ts although repair5, alterations and in)PTovements that do not mat¢rially
enhance the economic benefit of the buildings are expensed as incurred", Such costs are often substantial. Costs
incurred in arranging long tem) debt to fund material additions to the School'5 land and buildings are included in
rixed ass¢t additions. The insur¢d value of ihe School's assets is shown in note 5.
Furniture and leaching equipmeni are exp¢nsed in the peritsd of acquisiiion. Such items will generally cost less
Ihan £20,000 per individual item and will include computers, equipment, furniture and aneillary itetns.
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is calcLflated by reference to the cost of fixed asseis llsin¥ a straight line basi5 at rates considered
appropriate having re¥ard to the expected lives of the asseis. Depr¢¢iation is noi provided on freehold land.
The annual rates of depreciation in use are..
Freehold buildings (including landscaping)
Buildin(TS ill the course of construction
Plani, Equipineni, Fixtures and Fittings
Motor Vehicles
250/0
Govemors have considered the impatrmenl of those freehold btsildin&Fs with an estimated useful life ofover 50
y¢ars and are saiigfied, having considered both realisable value and value in use, Iliai the buildingis have noi
been maierially impaired.
INVESTMENTS
Inve5tmeiits are initially recognised at cost. They are held as fixed asset5 to provide an inv¢stment reium and are
Slated in the balance sheei at iheir open markei value as at the balance sheet date. Any resulting unrealised ciain
or loss is taken to the fund to which it relaies.
FUNDS
The fllnd5 of the School are segre¥at¢d between:
Restricted Funds
Scholarship. Prize and Bursary Fund5
The School receives some of its income primarily for the provision of ScholarSh￿p5. Bursaries
and Prizes. This income is credited directly to the relevant fund account. All expendilure in
relation to this income is charged direcily to tlie relevan¢ fund account.
School Developrnent Fund
Incorpordted within Ihe School Development Fund is 'The Capital Challengie" fundraising

The TPS scheme is a multi-employer, siatulory, contributory. defined benefit scheme, governed by the

The TPS is an unfunded scheiM¢ and members contribute on a 'pay as you go, basis
these
contributions along with those tnade by employers are credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other
pension benefiis are paid by public funds provided by Parliameni.
As th¢ TPS is a multi-eTnployer pension sthetne, the School is unable to identify its share of the
underlying ￿setS and liabilities of ihe scheme.
Accordingly. the School has taken advanta¥Je of the exemption in FRS 102 and has accounted for its
contributions lo the scheme as if li were a defined-contribuiion plan. Tlie Schi)ol has sei out within this

Directions 2023 and the Employer Contribution Rate was assessed using agr¢cd &5sumpiions in line
with the Directioiis and was accepted at the original asse55ed rate as there was no cost conirol
