OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES (continued)
Public benefit
In preparing this Annual Report, the Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity
Commission guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the Charity should
undertake. Our principal beneficiaries and service users at the Church of England
schools and the students and staff of the universities and colleges located within the
Diocese of Southwark. In practice. the relationship with our thirty-four thousand
children and young people in the maintained education 5ertorthroughout the Diocese
of Southwark, is achieved in real terms through the regular contact with school leaders
and governors and in response to requests for advice and support via our Partnership
Agreement forchurch of England schools and academies and our relationship with the
Southwark Diocesan Board of Education Headteacher Association.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Governance
Preparatory work was undertaken for a succe55fuS adoption of the New Diocesan
Measure and revised articles of association at Diocesan Synod on Wednesday 13 July
2022 which paved the way for a smaller, more efficient Board of Education. Key
benefits include a review of the terms of appointment and a commitment to a
deliberate focus on future recruitment to reference EDI with a view to having a Board
that reflects the diverse community it serves. The reduced Board size eliminates
historic long standing vacancies, which in turn supports an efficient governance
structure.
Working with our SDBE MAT (The TTUSY)
As the SDBE MAT prepares to on-board its eleventh school, in eight years, Members
reviewed the governance arrangements and embedded a new memorandum of
understanding with the Trust to secure the foundation of the Trust for the lon8 term-
given the focus on Trust growth following the White Paper and subsequent Schools
Bill, a working party between the Board and the Trust was set up. the SDBE have
commissioned a review of national academy models as part of its work towards
developing the MAT strategy for the future.
Approval by the Board was granted to two schools to join the Trust - The Minster
Junior School and the Minister Infants School in Croydon joined in September 2022.

ACHIEVEMENfs AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Working with the Diocese- Racial Justice. Climate Justice. Growing Faith
The SDBE benefits hugely from the support it receives from the Diocese of Southwark.
It enjoys close relationships with the clergy and in particular the Children and Young
People Team. The Cathedral and its Learning Centre and increasingly more cross over
opportunities have been developed between the justi￿ Peace Integrity & Creation
Officer and Environmental Working Party. Following the launch of the diocesan Anti
R3ClSt Charter in schools in November 2021. much of 2022 was focused on expanding
the curriculum to reflect the EDI agenda. There has been a lot of work done to ensure
that anti-racism is a leading strand in addressing inequality throughout the work of the
Board, with new CPD units developed and delivered within the core training offer. The
work has also begun to expand the EDI offer to ensure that all elements of inequality
are addressed. A working party has been established to ensure that this crucial piece
of work remains a key focus for the staff team to develop. Work has begun on
developing a baseline record to create a statistlC31 database to track progress towards
understanding the current make up of those employed at the Board. in schools. across
the governing bodies and committees where SDBE is represented. This will become a
regular event so that trends and progress can be tracked and action taken to addre55
8aps/barriers and blockersto change. The CPD offer has been reviewed and refreshed,
and we offer EDI. ClimateJustice, School sustainability workshops.
Climate Justice CARBON NET ZERO
As part of our work to meet General Synod's Net Zero Carbon Route Map to
decarbonise the CofE estate by 2030. work on a pilot programme of heat
decarbonisation plan5 for 13 schools. mainly funded by an award from the Salix
Finance Company of £7,212,233 during the year with an additional £12,000 VASCA top
up began this year. This will include a strategic plan for all VA schools, which will give
the buildings team an estate-wide picture of energy use that will allow us to better
target grants to schools with the biggest heat loss issues.

ACHIEVEMENT5 AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Climatejustice CARBON NET ZERO {continued)
Work around the Public Sertor Decarbonisation Scheme Round I to install air source
heat pumps to 58 schoo15 and our offices at Union Street was delayed due to the
collapse of the installation subcontractor. Snagging is now forecast to finish in the
spring of 2023.
The SDBE continues its work to develop and update the curriculum content in all
subject areas to ensure that climate justice is included from RE lessons through to PE
lessons. Work continues around Eco Charter, Eco Diocese, Global Neighbours to
ensure teachers. leaders and governors are aware of the CPD and resources available
to support schools in delivering key messages around the changing climate.
New schools
We were pleased to learn at the end of the autumn term, that applications in support
of the rebuilding of All Saints, Croydon. The Minster Infant School and The Minster
Junior School. also in Croydon, were successful. Whilst our fourth nominee,
Archbishop Tenison's, Croydon received a letter confirming they had not been
successful, the school has been included in a DfE 'net zero, pilot project. Substantial
roofing, insulation and heating system improvements have been indicated as being
within scope for grant funding.
Planning for new Kingston school
A new six-form entry 11-16 VA CofE Secondary school in Kingston is due to open in
September 2025. It will include a 20-place specialist autism resource base. Design
planning resumed at the end December 2022.
St Peter and St Paul's expansion from infant to primary school
The school expansion from a one form entry infant school to one form entry primary
school for pupils aged 4-11 came into effect in September 2022. We are grateful to
Surrey County Council for their continued support during the delayed process to
ensure the plan5 were fulfilled.

New SIAMS notionalfmmework
After a long gap between the suspension of SIAMS in March 2020 and the end of the
academic year 2022, we were delighted that our first inspection under the new
framework, at the end of the summer was excellent. A second school wa5 inspected
in the autumn term and was also graded excellent. Outcomes at the end of December-
100% of schools remain good or better with 75%judged as excellent.
There were a total of 27 Ofsted inspections over the year. Two schools that were
previously inadequate werejudged asgood and one Rl school was also judged as good.
Of the 104 schools, 102 are good or better {98%1. 22 schoo15 are graded outstanding
{21%1. There are 2 Schools awaiting inspection that are graded as inadequate (2%}.
It is expected that overall outstanding/excellent outcomes will drop as the respective
new framework5 for both SIAMS and Ofsted are embedded. Nonetheless, the
achievement of Schools who have maintained or achieved at the highest level must be
congratulated.
FUTURE PLANS
Development of the Board- under the new Diocesan Measure. from l January 2023
the Structure of Board was reviewed. The Size of the Board was reduced to bring it line
with the other Diocesan Departmental Boards. The Board has reduced in size from a
possible membership of 32 to a maximum of 19. This has eliminated longstanding
vacancies and the inefficiencies this created. There is also an ongoing commitment to
recruit Board members so that the make up of the Board reflects the diverse
community we serve. Our governance structure is subject to the same baseline
assessments for EDI that we are condutting with our schools and HEIFE colleges.
The hope is the next triennium will see a change in the membership of the Board that
reflects our school and college make up.
The revised artides of association sharpen the focus on roles and responsibilities for
Board members, particularly around attendance: this will ensure committees can
function well. knowing that Members are able to commit to engage as required, with
any non attendance managed efficiently.

Southwark Diocesan Board of Education Incorporated
Directorfs Report and Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2022
FUTURE PLANS (continued)
We will complete the review of the Terms of reference for each Board Committee so
that they align with the new articles of association and secure strong structures for
each committee.
Following the shared diocesan/Board recruitment drive to attract more UKME and EDI
applications and appointments, recruitment panel structures have also been revlewed
with a commitrnent to ensure that representation of the panel reflects the diversity
we wish to see across the organisation.
Given the dramatic fall in the number of pupils attending school across Lambeth and
Southwark in particular. our strategy to respond to surplus pupil places will be
developed during the spring. We have secured a secondment to increase our team
capacity to condurt some focused I:1 work with schools to expand our central
knowledge base. We will routine￿ collect information around pupil numbers, school
finances, the quality of the School estate. staff structures and local context as well as
the links with the local church. This will create an enhance schools risk register that
will provide us with a RAG rating system to shape how we utilise our resources most
effectively.
Work has begun. with school surveys. on responding to the White Paper and Schools
Bill. Given the context we are in with successful Schools and a mix of VA and
academies, the offer we currently have provides the Space for any school wishing to
become an academy- the SDBE MAT. However, it does not. as it stands, offer all of
the answers around the place for SATS or schools with a different foundation. The
SDBE has commissioned an initial review to provide oversite of the range and offer of
MATS across the country. This will be completed in the spring term and reviewed in
the summer by the joint Boardnrust strategy group and work with schools over the
summer term will complete the process 50 that the growth strategy begins in the
autumn term.
Following the changes in curriculum development and delivery that were accelerated
during Covid, we recognise the need to review the RE syllabus for primary schools.
This will be a key piece of work for the advisory team over the year ahead and will
include a focus on a55essment in RE for primary schools.
We are actively working on a full estate management plan to include all investment
properties as well as our offices at 48 Union Street.

FUTURE PLANS (continued}
Investment in Exton Street- havingcommissioned a condition surveyforthis property,
a proposal to start the process of retrofitting this four storey office buildin& which
brings the greatest income across all properties, will be taken to the Board in the
spring. This proposal will be a 3 year improvement plan including a new roof and new
windows and ensuring that the building meets the green energy requirements of we
have as landlords.
The implication of falling rolls leads to specific plan to develop a vacanvvulnerable
schools building strategythat will ensure we benefit from the lessons learned from the
losure of St Andrew's, Croydon and St John's Walworth.
VASCA- we will review the committee structure and revi5ethe terms of reference to
expand membership of the committee. the process for managing annual bids is also
due for review having run for 3 years there are some specific themes to be addressed,
particularly around consistency of bids and fragmented central records on the state of
some school estate.

Director's Report and Financial Statements
For the Year En(led 31 December 2022
INVESTMENT POUCY AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Negative market sentiment and high levels of volatility have continued as we entered
the second half of the year, with equity markets around the world beginning to price
in the possibility of a recession in the short term. Economies continued to battle
against conflict. the energy crisis, China's zero Covid policy and stjpply chain disruption
following the pandemic. More recently, we have seen the highest annual inflationary
pressures in a generation, providing an additional challenge to markets. In response,
central banks have tightened their monetary poliry, with aggressive interest rate
increases. In recent weeks, the Federal Reserve announced a hike of 0.75%, the largest
increase since the 1990s. The Bank of England voted on a smaller 25bp raise, raising
rates to 1.25%, the highest since January 2009. Growth asset5 have struggled in this
rising yield environment, and whilst there may Still be some pockets of overvalued
speculative assets, growth as a Style still contains many high quality. cash generative
companies with strong balance sheets, which look attractively priced after recent
volatility. Whilst equity prices have fallen globally. the recent round of quarterly
corporate results demonstrated that earnings expectations have proved relatively
robust, with consumers still spending and profit margins holdin8 UP.
Low-Risk Portfolio
The top contributor to performance over the last 12 Months, was Guinness Global
Equity Income fund. which as historicalty proved to be a more defensive asset
throughout periods of market stress. The fund is able to withstand macro-economlc
factors due tothe economicstrength of its underlying business modelsand their ability
to act as price makers in the marketplace. LXI REIT has also proved resilient in the
portfolio. as it offers inflation-protected income and capital growth underpinned by a
secure portfolio of very long-let and index-linked UK property assets (average lease
length of 22 years, 95% of rental income subject to RPI/CPI or fixed uplifts). In equities,
the main detractor from performance was Fundsmith with its exposure to longer-
duration grovrth assets suffering in this period of rising interest rates, as valuations
compress despite fundamentals remaining good. The portfolio's fixed income
exposure has also detracted from performance given the substantial rise in
government bond yields, but our positioning at the shorter end of the yield curve has
helped on a relative basis.

Southwark Diocesan Board of Education Incorpornted
Directorfs Report and Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2022
INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Medium and High-Rlsk Portfolios
In this higher risk mandate, the non*quity constituents have proved to be useful
diversifiers and have held up relatively well over the last 12 months. The main
detractors have come from our overseas funds with high exposure to growth sectors
such as technology, as well as our exposure to mid and small cap funds. The former
group of companies have suffered as valuations have fallen despite fundamentals
remaining good and the latter is pricing in a very negative economic outlook with
numerous companies already pricing in a recession.
Looking forward, markets are likely to continue to be volatile in the short term with
uncertainty surrounding the future path of interest rates given that inflation remains
elevated. However. over the past month or so we have seen signs that inflation is
starting to peak which has enabled government bond yields to fall as central banks
would be unlikely to implement more interest rate hikes than the market is currently
pricing in. We also believe central banks will struggle to implement more interest rate
hikes than already priced in given we are seeing leading economic indicator5 Start to
slow and the chance5 of a recession are increasing. Any pause or less hawkish rhetoric
from central banks is likely to help risk assets. which are trading at attractive
valuations, start to rebound.

Directorfs Report and f inancial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2022
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAI￿lEs
The Trustee5 have overall responsibility for ensuring the Charity has an effettive
system of control and for rnaintaining appropriate accounting procedures and records
that comply with legislative requirements and good practice. To this end the Risk
Registeris updated annuallywith any key actionsfollowed through via the appropriate
committees. It is reviewed by Trustees at least annually as part of corporate risk
management.
Key risks faced by the Board based on the current educational landscape, falling pupil
numbers and analysis of the Risk Register are outlined below.
The anticipated impact of the White Paper to push for full academisation by 2030 was
greatly reduced with publication of the Schools Act which removed the hard deadline.
However, schools continue to explore academisation and the 5DBE recognised the
need for a review of the structure5 in place nationally to serve a5 a baseline for the
development of its growth strategy for the future. The current Trust cannot
accommodate the Stand-Alone Trusts and the Board is reviewing the strategy for
academisation over the year ahead.
There will be other implications to the Boards as more schools join the SDBE MAT.
income to EPMS is reduced, so longer term planning for the Board will shape the
strategic vision for the next triennium.
Following the Covid pandemic, Brexit, falling birth rate5 and the rising cost of living in
central London, there are significant challen8es and some Local Authorities report
increasing surplus places across both primary and secondary provision: the
implications are that the organisation of our school stock will change over the next
three years.
Given the falling pupil numbers, the SDBE isworking closely with colleagues across the
LA/other Boards of Education to identify the best Strategy to ensure CofE education is
protected for future generations.
In readiness for changing income to fund the Board's staff team, we have used the
opportunity of natural turnover to review the positions in place and have used
secondments and consultants this year to ensure we have capacity to deliver the
partnership agreement without overcommitting to an unaffordable staffing structure.
Where gaps remained, we brokered services frorn other providers (governance for
exarnple} until the post was filled.

Director's Report and Financiol Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2022
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES (continued)
Other systems in place to secure minimal risk include:
Greater understanding of the sustainability of our famity of schools," beyond school
effectiveness indicators, developing a stronger evidence base including finances
(including any deficit. local context, estate. succession planning and pupil numbers)
and close engagement with LA Education Teams. including engagement with local
council and Cabinet meetin85.
There is steadfast commitment to maintaining church school proF)Ortionality acr05S
each Local Authority by engaging at all levels and through all routes available.
Maximising representation of CofE voice. The Board agreed to fund a secondment for
a day a week for an officer to focus who51y on managing surplus capacity pupil
numbers, sUPPOrted by other team members. There Is the real understanding that
some Schools will close over the next three years and it is our responsibility as a Board
of Education to guarantee and support a well managed. dignified c105ure that marks
the achievement5 of the school within the local community- whilst balancing this with
the same need for sensitivity when meeting with the local community that will change
with the opening of a new secondary school in Kingston.
The Board wishes to acknowledge and thank the dedication of the school community
over the last year and recognises the tremendous work of volunteer governors and
committee members. We cannot complete our Tnission without them. Board rnembers
would also like to thank the small team of hardworking staff at the SOBE for making
the mission real and for being the l•nk between the diocese and the schools.

Responslbilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees. responsibilities statement, the trustees are

is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statement5 that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the
group's and the parent charitable compan￿5 ability to continue 35 a going concern,
disclosing, as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the
charitable parent company or to cease operation5. or have no ieali5tic alternative but
to do so.
Auditorf5 responsibilitie5 for the audit of the finantial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to issue an auditorfs reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance
is a high level of assurance. but is not a guarantee that an audit condurted in
accordance with 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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Southwark Diocesan Board for Education Incorporated

Independent auditorfs report 31 December 2022
Audltorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statement5 (continued)
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance 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 irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below.
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect
of irregularities. including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as
follows:
• the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the
appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-
compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
• we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are
applicable to the group and the charitable parent company and determined that
the most significant frameworks which are directly relevant to specific assertions in
the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting framework
(Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the
Charities Act 20111 and those that relate to data protection (General Data
Protection Regulation); and
• identified lavls and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly
and the team iemained alert to instancesof non-complian￿ throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibilty of the group's and the charitable parent compan(s
financial statements to material misstatement, induding obtaining an understanding
of how fraud might occur, by:
• making enquiries of management as to their knowledge of actual, suspetted and
alleged fraud; and
• considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-
compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
• performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected
relationships;
Southwark Diocesan Board for Education Inco¥porated

Independent auditorfs report 31 December 2022
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
• tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions:
• assessed whether judgement5 and assumptions made in determining the
accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias.
• tested authorization controls on expenditure items, including staff expense claims,
to check that all expenditure was approved in line with the group's and the parent
charitable compantys financial procedures-
• tested expenditure passing through the off-balance sheet conduit fund to check
that it had been incurred in line with the funding agreement and had been
appropriately authorized- and
• considered the controls and processes in place relating to the conduit fund, in
particular those relating to the receipt and use of the new Voluntary-Aided Schools
Capital Allocation funding stream.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulation5,
we designed procedures which included. but were not limited to:
• agreeing financial statement disc105ures to underlying supporting documentation-
• reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance: and
• enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more
removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions. the less likely it is
that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing Standards also limit the
audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to
enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and
legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise duetofraud can be hardertodetect than those that
arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

The Charity assists ¥￿￿ntary aided schc*Js with sclKd buikliThJ projects. It historically acted
as the agent of school govemcfs in helping to arrange fiJnding through the DIE and Local
Aulhofities and in paying professional fees and building c051s on behalf of schwl governors.
The VASCA (Voluntsry-Aided Schc<* Condition Al(￿tiOn) system was introduced in April
2020 and suk*rseded the LCVAP ILc¢alty Coordinated Voluntary-Aided Programmel. The
char¥Je in funding gives the charity uth'mate control over the application of the VASCA grants
to SFecific sthjots. HistorKalty, the LCVAP wa5 not reflected in the Statement of Financial
Actiwb"e5 as the Charty had no control over the funds. The transactions were those of the
scho(A5 and controlled and apwoved by the 9mfrLKs rather than the Charity, bthich acted
as agent. Since the use of the VASCA grant lunding is at the discrelion of the Board il is now
induded in the SOFA a5 Incorr￿ along wrth the related expenditure. The unspent
balance at the end ofthe year is committed to projects or retumed to the DIE if rKJt committed
