UWC International would not be able to fulfil its mission without the invaluable help of its many volunteers. Although it is impossible to know exactly, our calculation is that at any point in time the global UWC movement is supported by over 4,000 active volunteers who run UWC national committees (NCs), boards, task forces, steering groups and other working groups. The Directors feel deeply indebted to these individuals for their passion, and wish to express gratitude for their on-going support.

Six volunteers directly supported the work at the UWC International Office during the year in the following areas:

Commitment to Diversity

UWC International aims to reflect its core value of diversity in every possible way, including through its staff and interns. Throughout the year, 23 staff and two interns represented the following nationalities and ethnic backgrounds: Armenian, American, Australian, British, Cypriot, Czech, French, German, Greek, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Jewish, Nigerian, Portuguese, Scottish, Swiss and Turkish.

In 2021, through a set of workshops run by a Diversity expert, we focused on improving our knowledge and understanding of different biases, including unconscious bias in the workplace. We are working on finalising our Diversity and Inclusion Policy to build on our diversity statement which is published with each job advertisement.

Statement of the Chair

I am pleased to introduce the Annual Report and Accounts of the United World Colleges (International) for the year from 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2022.

We have continued to see the need for transition and adaptation this year, as the world slowly started to recover from the worst effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, while also facing up to the reality of mounting global tensions, which spilled over into conflict and war in some areas. As an education movement with a global reach and prosocial mission, we have been called upon to meet the challenges of these turbulent times, supporting our community, and redoubling our efforts to reach young people most in need of transformative educational opportunities.

In June, the UWC International Board approved the proposed changes to the governance structure as presented by the Governance Review Steering Group. In the same month, Jens Waterman stood down as Executive Director of UWC International after six years, and I was proud to see the way in which the UWC International Office oversaw plans for the interim period with Hannah Tumpel taking on the position of Interim Lead. This gave the incoming Executive Director, Faith Abiodun, ample time to familiarise himself with his appointment as the new Executive Director, and enabled him to really ‘hit the ground running’ when he officially took up the post in December 2021. We are delighted to have Faith on board, and we are grateful for the energy and commitment he has already brought to the role.

The easing of travel restrictions have given Faith the opportunity to visit some of our schools. However, the effects of the pandemic have continued to be felt across the movement this year, with several schools unable to accept all of their students at the start of the academic year. A few schools were forced to temporarily close their doors, but were able to pivot quickly to online learning. However, most UWC schools were able to take up full operations, with the exception of UWC Changshu China, which still remains unable to obtain visas for international students to enter China.

Our attention was drawn away from the pandemic in late August 2021, however, and the community was shocked and saddened to hear of the news coming from Afghanistan. The Taliban’s return to power in the country posed a serious threat to the education of young people, and especially girls. Supporting youth from disadvantaged and conflict backgrounds is key to our mission to make education a force for peace, and we have been providing lifechanging pathways for young refugees since the launch of our dedicated UWC Refugee Initiative in 2016. We know the impact a UWC education can have on the lives of young refugees, and the communities they are part of, and so plans were quickly put in place to raise funds for 20 additional places for 20 Afghan students. After several months of hard work, and thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the UWC community, I am pleased to say we were able to meet our target. We look forward to welcoming these new Afghan scholars to our schools in the coming years.

Several months later, we were reminded again of the need to hold our community close, with the devastating effects of the Ukrainian invasion being shown in the mass media. Again, we were quick to act, reaching out to our stakeholder communities. We expressed solidarity with our Ukrainian students, faculty, staff members and volunteers, as well as our Russian and Belarusian community members who joined us in condemning the unprovoked and unjustified aggression being shown to Ukraine. Our schools and colleges extended additional scholarship offers to incoming students from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus - raising funds for the humanitarian response, and providing logistical support to those fleeing the violence. The Ukrainian National Committee also showed great fortitude in continuing to conduct selections in the most challenging circumstances.

It is testament to the strength of belief in our values-based mission, which enables our community to respond with such compassion and positive action. We have long since spoken of the pro-social impact of our educational model on the world, and with the Harvard UWC Impact Study now coming to a close, we have empirical evidence to prove this. In 2017, UWC commissioned The Good Project of Project Zero at the Harvard School of Education to investigate the impact of a UWC education on its students and alumni, with a particular focus on which aspect

may be most likely to influence and encourage ethical habits and pro-social actions. Involving repeated observations of the same variables over a period of time, this is the first longitudinal study of its kind in the history of the UWC movement, showing the impact of UWC and providing valuable lessons for the world of education as a whole. The UWC International Office provided a comprehensive plan to ensure the effective dissemination of the report, ensuring that our key stakeholders were made aware of the study's many positive findings, the areas for continued work and the ample lessons for the global education sector. The study is testament to the movement’s desire to remain open to change, as we continually review our educational experience so that the young people we support can go on to have a long-lasting positive impact in the world.

As I reflect back on the past year, I am constantly reminded of the people who make up our community. No matter the challenges we are faced with, we have shown time and again that we stand together, united and with a clear sense of purpose. I am deeply grateful to all our staff and volunteers, to our donors and partners, and to our students and alumni for the unceasing commitment they have shown to our mission. I remain confident that the resilience the movement has shown over the past year means that we will continue to be able to adapt and flourish, as we look to the future and the opportunities it brings for us to make education a force for peace and a sustainable future.

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

Directors’ Report

The Directors’ of The United World Colleges (International) (the ‘company’) present their statutory report for the year ended 30 April 2022. Together with the members of the International Council (the ‘Council’) they form the membership of UWC International.

Identity and constitution

The company is a United Kingdom company limited by guarantee (Company Number 908758) and a United Kingdom registered charity (Charity Number 313690). The liability of members in the event of the company being dissolved is limited to not more than £1 per member. There is no share capital. The governing document of the company is the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the current version of which is dated 12 November 2021.

Governance and Management

The Articles of Association provide for an International Board of Directors’ of up to 13 members. Directors’ serve for a term of three years and may be re-appointed for a second term of three years, and potentially for one extra year in the case of officers and Board committee chairs. The Articles of Association also provide for a UWC Council of up to 80 members.

At its June 2021 meeting, the Board approved the proposed changes to the Governance Structure as presented by the Governance Review Steering Group. These include the reduction in size of the Board from a maximum of 16 to 13 (with 12 members effectively in place at the time of writing) and the creation of a new Committee Structure. The Committee of National Committees, Finance & Audit and Personnel & Remuneration committees remain and will be joined by Governance, Nominating, Education, International Philanthropy and ARDEI committees. The revised Articles of Association reflecting these changes were approved by UWC Members in November 2021.

In 2021-2022, the Board met remotely six times (May, June, August and November 2021, plus January and March 2022).

The UWC Council met remotely twice, in November 2021 and March 2022. The Directors’ are satisfied that the current pattern of meetings gives sufficient scope to attend to matters of UWC’s organisational and strategic development as well as items of governance and financial oversight.

The UWC Council met remotely twice, in November 2021 and March 2022.

Appointment and Induction of Directors’ and Company Members

The Articles of Association stipulate that the Directors’ are elected by the UWC Council and give the Board responsibility for appointing members of the UWC Council. The Nominating Committee of the Board is responsible for making recommendations for election and appointment, usually following an annual nominating process preceded by a public call for nominations.

In making recommendations for election and appointment, the Nominating Committee seeks to achieve a level of diversity that goes some way to reflecting the diversity of the UWC International movement. The Committee also monitors the mix of skills, attributes, experience and backgrounds and identifies gaps.

Potential nominees to the Board and UWC Council are provided with information about the work of both bodies, together with a copy of a policy on the expectations and responsibilities of membership. The Nominating Committee has further responsibility for issues associated with the induction, training and self-evaluation of Board Members.

Committees

The Board currently has nine sub-committees:

Day-to-day Management

The Directors’ have delegated day-to-day management responsibilities to the Executive Director. Staff are based at the company’s offices (the ‘UWC International Office’) in London and Berlin. Since March 2020, all employees have been following national guidelines related to COVID-19, with most of them working from home and working from the office in either London or Berlin at least one day per week (pro rata for part-timers).

This period of remote working has been greatly aided by the use of technology to ensure that work is not disrupted. Slack remains the main internal communication platform and video conferencing takes place via Zoom and Google.

The company’s activities are funded in large part through annual payments from the UWC schools and colleges and in smaller parts through investment income and donations from individuals and charitable foundations.

Memoranda of Understanding

The relationship between the schools and colleges and UWC International is set out in Memoranda of Understanding (‘MoU’). These define mutual responsibilities and expectations and set down UWC International’s responsibilities on behalf of the organisation as a whole. A similar MoU has been rolled out between UWC International and the National Committees, with 121 MoUs signed as of 30 April 2022.

Objectives and activities

The objective of the company is to advance the purposes of the UWC International movement and its constituent parts in line with the UWC mission:

To make education a force to unite people, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.

This mission gives the UWC organisation an overall aim and sense of purpose and direction. The mission is embraced throughout the organisation and the Directors’ believe that it encapsulates the commitment of UWC’s members and supporters while at the same time articulating a continuing challenge.

In 2021-22, UWC International implemented its mission and objectives through 18 UWC schools and colleges and over 155 UWC national committees, currently selecting students in their respective countries and territories. The total number of students in the schools and colleges in 2021-2022 was 10,987. There are nearly 60,000 UWC alumni.

United World Colleges International gGmbH a wholly owned subsidiary entity has been consolidated into the group financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2022.

The Directors confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting policies. Public benefit is embedded in the Charity’s strategy and operations. Primarily, it delivers benefits to the public through offering financial support, bursaries and scholarships to beneficiaries towards the provision of education. Further details of these activities are provided in the notes to the financial statements.

Strategy

In October 2017, the Board approved the UWC Strategy entitled “UWC Strategy – 2018 and Beyond” which is available on the UWC website.

The overarching aim of the Strategy is to increase UWC’s impact in making education a force for a more peaceful and sustainable future. It broadens UWC’s ambition from providing transformative education for its students to becoming a global voice for values and diversity-based education for peace and sustainability. UWC aims to increase its impact by focusing on three key areas:

  1. Seek: UWC will seek a deliberately diverse group of students for our schools and colleges from across the globe through the UWC national committees and strive to enable access to a UWC education for these students independent of socio-economic means.

  2. Educate: UWC will educate our students based on trust, responsibility and autonomy in order for them to develop the agency, values, attitudes and competencies to be forces for peace, sustainability and social justice.

  3. Inspire: UWC will inspire members of the UWC community to live and act in accordance with the UWC mission and it will inspire its partners and other actors in education to embrace values-based education celebrating diversity and promoting peace, sustainability and social justice.

The Strategy sets the direction and defines the strategic goals for the entire UWC movement. It is to be read in conjunction with the Action Plans, which outline specific steps and measurable targets for the UWC movement to act on during a specific period of time.

Within the financial year 2021-2022, UWC (International) continued to implement the initiatives under its strategic action plan as set out below. This period of time also saw significant changes in leadership at UWC International, with former Executive Director, Jens Waltermann, leaving his post after six years in June 2021. From June to December 2021, Hannah Tumpel, former Deputy Executive Director Advancement, took on an Interim Lead role. In December 2021 the new Executive Director, Faith Abiodun, joined UWC International. These changes in leadership led to the creation of an Action Plan covering the transition phase (from August 2021 and until the end of the financial year).

Based on the Action Plan and the wider strategic priority areas outlined above, the work of the UWC International Office focused on the following.

Seek: our work in this area focused primarily on strengthening the reach and capacity of our network of national committees over the following key initiatives:

being offered a place.

Educate: work in this area has focused on the review of current educational models across the movement and rollout of a leadership development programme to identify the future generation of leaders within UWC schools and colleges, specifically:

Inspire: our work in this area focused on enhancing our advocacy among our stakeholders and external partners around our mission and values:

reprioritization due to both lack of internal capacity and general “zoom fatigue” across community members. Three UWC Unlocked Community Village Meetings were organised: one about the UWC financial model (October 2021) and two to introduce the new UWC International’s Executive Director, Faith Abiodun (February 2022).

In order to enable our goals in the areas of Seek, Educate and Inspire, a number of supporting areas needed to be shaped up significantly. The action plan sets specific objectives under finance, fundraising, governance, communications and technology.

Statutory and Financial Information

Activities

Our consolidated financial statements presented include both The United World Colleges (International) and its wholly owned subsidiary United World Colleges International gGmbH in Berlin, Germany. In general, the activities of the company did not change significantly during the year, however due to the COVID pandemic our operating budget was considerably reduced due to travel restrictions. Our risk level was minimised due to the rapid response and planning. All activities reported in the financial statements are continuing activities.

Results

The financial results for the year are set out in the Statement of Financial Activities. Total income of £6,497k compared with £6,250k in the previous year. Unrestricted income was 6% higher at £2,744k (2020-21: £2,585k) of which fees from schools and colleges amounted to £2,574k (2020-21: £2,482k), a net increase of 4% mainly due to an increase in expenditure of schools and colleges. Restricted income of £3,753k was 2% higher than last year mainly due to an increase of scholarship fund income. It is important to note in this context that the Davis-UWC Dare to Dream funding of USD 7.5 million had been stewarded and managed by UWC International and allocated through the national committee system in which funding is transferred directly to UWC schools and colleges via UWC-USA, and is not included in the results of UWC International.

Total expenditure including grants made was 8% lower at £5,241k compared with £5,680k in 2020-21. Total expenditure from unrestricted funds was 19% lower at £1,823k (2020-21: £2,246k) while expenditure from restricted funds was in line with the prior year at £3,418k (2020-21: £3,434k).

Total funds (net assets) increased by £1,276k (2020-21: increase of £960k) to a total of £9,932k (2020-21: £8,656k) of which £3,329k is unrestricted, £3,018k is restricted, £50k is designated and £3,535k is endowments. This includes £921k surplus on unrestricted funds (2020-21: £339k) and unrealised gain of £20k on investments for the year (202021: gain of £579k) and £335k surplus on restricted funds (2020-21: £245k surplus).

Reserves

As of 30 April 2022, free reserves were £3,260k, being the net current assets within unrestricted funds. All of this is held in cash in Sterling, Euros and US dollars current and deposit accounts with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Total cash balance at the year-end was £6,118k.

UWC International´s reserve policy requires at least six months of budgeted unrestricted expenditure to be held as reserves. This amounts to £1,417k. In recognition of the fact that 30 April does not represent the low-point of free reserves in the year and given the level of risk identified for the organisation, the amount of reserves held is deemed adequate to the needs of UWC International. Explicitly, the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic have been appropriately taken into account in this determination.

Finance & Audit Committee

The company’s Articles of Association stipulate that an Audit Committee needs to be in place. The Auditors communicate with the Committee about their annual audit of the company and about any matters arising from their audit in respect of the company’s financial controls and procedures.

THE UNITED WORLD COLLEGES (INTERNATIONAL)

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

Risk Management

During the year, the organisation reviewed its risk management framework. Risks are grouped under five principal risk areas:

  1. Management/Strategic: given the wide-spread and diverse nature of the UWC movement, having the right management, key personnel and clear strategies in place is essential to mitigate risks, and therefore continues to be an important focus of the Directors. Strengthening approaches and coordination on mental health and wellbeing, as well as safeguarding, across the movement have also emerged as key risks in this area;

  2. Operational/People: The UWC movement relies heavily on a network of volunteers. The recent growth of the UWC movement has created more impact and more opportunities for students, but it is also placing additional pressure on the volunteer network and the Directors are currently actively seeking to strengthen the support systems for those volunteers by allocating specific funds to national committee development. With the creation of the NC Fund new mechanisms and resources have been put forward to support the work of volunteers;

  3. Governance/Regulatory: as a federated movement of legally and financially independent constituents, the Board gives great priority to strengthening the governance models that govern the entire movement, as well as establishing best practice in areas such as governance, child protection, health and safety, and financial/legal compliance. The key risks in this area remain a fast-changing and uncertain regulatory environment and the ability to attract a more diverse representation within UWC governance and management structures;

  4. Financial: The UK’s hard exit from the EU led to initial uncertainty on the financial exposure in terms of the Euro to British Pound exchange rate movements. UWC International’s income is largely in USD and Euros and a significant part of expenditure is in GBP, foreign exchange risk is significant. Mitigation includes regular cash flow forecasting by currency matching inflows and outflows, as far as is possible, and reviewing how this can be potentially offset in grant agreements. Fundraising relies on a relatively small, albeit growing, pool of large donors which means that any sudden withdrawal of funding for reasons beyond UWC International’s control poses a significant risk;

  5. Reputation: a rising profile for the organisation, coupled with increasing reach of social media has required UWC to strengthen its crisis response, centrally as well as across its constituent parts.

The Executive Director works directly with directors and the management team to monitor and mitigate identified risks. Additional risks arising from the effects of COVID-19 have been considered. To date, the impact had been less than initially anticipated. Most of our schools and colleges have remained open and their financial position, although in some cases challenging, has not deteriorated significantly. Regular communications internally and with our Schools and Colleges has been key to keeping up to date.

The company does not actively use financial instruments as part of its financial risk management. It is exposed to the usual credit risk and cash flow risk associated with operations and manages this through credit control procedures. The nature of its financial instruments means that they are not subject to material price risk or liquidity risk. The equity portfolio is considered a long term investment.

Management of Investments

Pursuant to the company’s Memorandum of Association, management of investments, including cash deposits, is delegated to experienced investment managers on a discretionary basis. The delegation arrangements and investment policy are reviewed annually by members of the Finance Committee, the Finance Director and the Executive Director. An amount of 4% is taken as 1% per quarter from the income generated by the investments. The investment management aim is to generate a return of 4% above inflation. Recent market conditions have been challenging.

Pay Grade System

The company has a clear policy on salaries, which are considered on an annual basis after a performance review. Both German and UK pay bands are benchmarked against the not-for-profit markets in their respective countries and are reviewed by management on a regular basis.

Directors’ Interests

Chairpersons and Heads of the governing bodies of the 18 UWC schools and colleges are members of the company and two school and college chairpersons and two Heads serve as Directors; two chairpersons or other officers of national committees are also appointed as Directors. Grants, donations and financial support are provided by the company to UWC schools and colleges and national committees in which these Directors may have an interest, although not a financial interest; the Heads are employees of their schools and colleges but the Directors are confident that this model of Board representation of UWC stakeholders is to the benefit of UWC International and that any direct conflicts of interest can be managed as they arise. An annual declaration of interest register update process is in place, with Directors and Senior Management required to provide an updated declaration on an annual basis, while Company Members are required to provide one upon joining or in case of significant changes.

Fundraising policy

The fundraising function of UWC International has two primary areas of work: to raise money internationally from major gifts, and to act as a professional resource and liaison for fundraising for UWC constituents including schools and colleges, national committees and alumni groups.

Direct fundraising activities cover high and ultra-high net worth individuals, international foundations and international corporations as well as governments and public entities who have an affinity and desire to support UWC. Donor and prospect activities are undertaken through direct contact often via introductions from UWC alumni and supporters. Gifts range from single scholarship provisions directly managed from UWC International in London and Berlin, to multi-million-pound global gift programmes. We do not use third party fundraisers, all fundraising activities are recorded on a best-practice donor management system that is compliant with UK and German data protection regulations. No fundraising complaints have been received.

As a central resource for all UWC constituents with regard to fundraising, the UWC International Office team oversees UWC's fundraising protocols, fundraising strategy, UWC governance reporting relating to fundraising, and supports the fundraising initiatives of the UWC International Board.

UWC International supported the dissemination among UWC schools, colleges and national committees of UWC International’s common Gift Acceptance Code (“GAC”) approved by the Board in March 2021. The updated GAC strengthened some of its provisions, in particular by lowering the monetary threshold which triggers an automatic review by the Board of the integrity of an intended gift or donor. Originally set at USD 500,000, the USD 200,000’s new threshold is felt to better protect UWC’s interests and reputation in the face of growing public and community scrutiny of charitable donations. UWC International provided needs-based support to UWC schools, colleges and national committees to review their existing gift acceptance practices, and adopt and abide by a local policy which is aligned with and conforms at least with the same minimum standards as UWC International’s GAC. At the time of writing, 12 UWC schools & colleges have either developed their own gift acceptance policy which meets the minimum standards, or have endorsed the UWC International GAC for the acceptance of gifts. There are a further four schools & colleges that are due to have a code-compliant policy approved in forthcoming board meetings to take place in October 2022.

Information made available to auditors

Each of the Directors has confirmed that so far as they are aware, each Director has no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditors are unaware and that they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a Director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities

The Directors’ are responsible for preparing the Directors’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. In preparing, those financial statements the directors are required to:

The Directors are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

THE UNITED WORLD COLLEGES (INTERNATIONAL)

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of the United World Colleges (International)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of the United World Colleges (International) for the year ended 30 April 2022 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating the Income and Expenditure Account), The Consolidated and Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated and Charity Statement of Funds, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the group and parent charitable company’s affairs as at 30 April 2022 and of the group’s net movement in funds, including the income and expenditure, for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors’ with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The directors’ are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Directors’ Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

• the information given in the Directors’ Report (which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and the directors’ report included within the Directors’ Report have been prepared in accordance with

21

THE UNITED WORLD COLLEGES (INTERNATIONAL)

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report (which incorporates the directors’ report).

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of directors for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 20, the directors (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial 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 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 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.

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:

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining

22

THE UNITED WORLD COLLEGES (INTERNATIONAL)

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

As a result of our procedures we did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities.

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 directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE UNITED WORLD COLLEGES (INTERNATIONAL)

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

Accounting Policies

The principle accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities, second edition, effective January 2020 Financial Reporting Standard 102 (applicable in UK & Ireland) and Companies Act 2006. The Directors’ have taken advantage of the exemption, under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006, from presenting the unconsolidated statement of financial activities. The financial statements are consolidated financial statements and include The United World Colleges (International) and its wholly owned subsidiary entity, UWC gGmbH. The financial statements have been presented in GBP Sterling.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis

The directors’ consider there are no material uncertainties relating to going concern. The review of our financial position, reserves levels and future plans gives directors confidence the charity remains a going concern for the foreseeable future.

Income and expenditure account

To satisfy the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, an income and expenditure account has been incorporated in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA).

Income

Donations and legacies are included in full in the SOFA when receipt is probable.

Revenue grants are credited to the SOFA when received or receivable whichever is earlier.

Where unconditional entitlement to grants receivable is dependent upon fulfilment of conditions within the company’s control, income is recognised when there is sufficient evidence that conditions will be met. Where there is uncertainty as to whether the company can meet such conditions or if the agreement expressly stipulates that these conditions relate to a future period, the income is deferred.

Other income in relation to sale of services is recognised in the year where the services are delivered.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised in the SOFA. Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis and is categorised and aggregated under headings, which reflect the nature of the expenditure and the activities of the company.

Expenditure which cannot be attributed directly to a single heading is apportioned and allocated on a basis which reflects the use of the resources the expenditure represents. In most instances, apportionment is by reference to head-count and employment costs; in other cases, apportionment is related to the specific objectives and outcomes of the expenditure.

Expenditure includes attributable VAT, which cannot be recovered.

Transactions in foreign currencies

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the exchange rate prevailing at or about the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the rates ruling at that date. Translation differences are dealt within the SOFA.

Taxation

The company is a charity within the meaning of Paragraph 1, Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income within categories covered by Chapter 3 of

30

THE UNITED WORLD COLLEGES (INTERNATIONAL)

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

Part II of the Corporation Tax Act 2010, to the extent that such income is applied exclusively to charitable purposes. No tax charge arose in the period.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for depreciation. Assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised.

Depreciation is provided on cost in equal annual instalments over the estimated useful economic lives of the assets. The rates of depreciation are:

Office Furniture and Fixtures 20% Computer equipment and software 33% General Office Equipment 33%

Investments

Investments are a form of basic financial instruments and are initially shown in the financial statements at market value at the balance sheet date. Movements in the market values of investments are shown as unrealised gains and losses in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Gains and losses on the realisation of investments are shown as realised gains and losses in the Statement of Financial Activities. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated between sales proceeds and their opening carrying values or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year-end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the SOFA.

Net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals are recognised in the SOFA.

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Operating Leases

Operating lease rentals are charged in the SOFA on a straight-line basis over the year of the lease.

Funds accounting

Funds held by the company are:

THE UNITED WORLD COLLEGES (INTERNATIONAL)

REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2022

Further information about the aim and use of the company’s funds is contained in the Statement of Funds and note 20.

Employee benefits

Short-term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.

Employee termination benefits

Termination benefits are accounted for on an accrual basis and in line with FRS 102.

Pension scheme

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for the benefit of its employees. The assets of the scheme are held independently from those of the charity in an independently administered fund. The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contributions payable during the year.

Foreign exchange

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are transferred into Sterling at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions during the year in foreign currency are transferred into Sterling ruling at the date of transaction.

Estimates and Judgements

The financial statements include the following areas of estimation and judgement: depreciation of tangible fixed assets, valuation of investments, and allocation of costs. Depreciation has been calculated using the Directors’ best estimate of the useful economic lives of the assets. Investments have been valued using publicly available market information. Costs have been allocated in accordance with the organisation’s records of activities undertaken. There is a low degree of estimation uncertainty.

Unrestricted Funds

Unrestricted funds may be applied at the discretion of the Directors in furtherance of the objects of the company. The General Fund is available to finance the day-to-day operations of the company. UWC has reserved £450k for the Congress which is scheduled to take place in 2024, and £100k for the 60[th] anniversary celebrations.

Designated Funds

If part of an unrestricted fund is earmarked for a particular project it may be designated as a separate fund, but the designation has an administrative purpose only, and does not legally restrict the directors’ discretion to apply the fund.

UWC has designated funds for PR costs, which will be used for unexpected communications in case of an emergency. A transfer of £50k was made from unrestricted to designated funds in 2020-21 for this purpose.

20 Analysis of net assets by fund category – Consolidated (continued)

Restricted Funds

Restricted funds are subject to trusts or undertakings and may be used only for purposes consistent with those trusts or undertakings. Restricted funds are classified in the Statement of Funds according to their principal purposes. The scholarship funds hold monies to be disbursed to schools and colleges as scholarship awards. In the case of endowed scholarship funds, the monies held are the investment earnings on the capital of the related scholarship endowment funds. All other scholarship funds hold donated monies.

The Solidarity Fund created to support Colleges impacted by the inability of some students to attend their College of choice has been fully dispersed.

The UWC International Scholarship Fund, Mountbatten Scholarship Fund and Gildred Scholarship Fund hold both investment income and donated monies, and can be used for scholarship awards at the discretion of the Directors. The Kelly Scholarship Fund and the Polish Scholarship Fund meet the needs of students from the Bahamas and Poland respectively and can be used at the discretion of these National Committees. The Andresen/UWC Norway Scholarship Fund generates income towards scholarships for students from low income and/or conflict-ridden countries, and is disbursed at the discretion of the International Office subject to approval of the donors.

The principal donated funds that are currently active are the Horizon Fund, the Haggar Sudan Scholarship Support Fund the European Commission, Schmidt Futures/Rise Programme, Careduca Foundation, Pestalozzi International, RSAcademics, Bianca Vetter Foundation, Wilhelm & Marianne Mohn and Johanna Braun. These donor partners fund scholars from disadvantaged communities, including underprivileged students from refugee, internally displaced or exiled backgrounds. The MECT Fund supports scholarships at UWC-USA

Project funds hold donated monies towards the costs of specific projects. The Harvard Study fund supports the implementation of a multi-year study of UWC’s impact, implemented by Harvard University. The National Committee Fund supports the National Committee network by strengthening the capacity of UWC’s volunteer committees. Gourlay Fund is available to meet emergency needs of national committees and UWC students and alumni.

Endowment Funds

The company owns, and is the beneficiary of, the UWC International Endowment Fund. The investment earnings on the capital are transferred to the General Fund and are utilised to finance day-to-day operations. The company’s other endowment funds are the scholarship endowment funds. The capital may not be used and the investment earnings are credited to the related scholarship income funds, as mentioned above.

Dormant funds

Funds on which no movement has occurred for a period of one year or longer are reviewed to determine whether or not they could have become dormant. No funds were considered dormant as of 30 April 2022.
