COVID-19 ICORONAVIRUSI UPDATE
The outbreak which resulted In a Second national lockdown from 5th November 2020 bul schools remalned
open. Consequently, thi5 lockdown had a very small impact lo th¢ School. However, Ihg third national lockdown
which Started on 4th January 2021 had a much greater impact. The School conlinued lo operate throughout the
lockdown to look after children of key worker staff calegorised by the Government. Remote leaming had been
prepared and the scho￿ delivered education wa online platforms. The Day NLsrsery conts'nued lo operate and
8ccommodated all children during the thir¢J national lockdown period.
Fortunately, all pupils relumed to the School on 8th March 2021 as the lockdown restrictions eased. A ri8k of
another lockdown always remains a possibility but national measures have been taken lo reduce the impact of
this iisk. It is hoped that the continued roll out of the vacrAnes Mll help to address this risk.

Audltor's rnsponsibiliti•s for th• audit of the financial $tstsm•nt$
Our objectives are to Ob￿1n reasonable assurance about %thelher Ihe financial statements as a whole are free
frorn material mi551alemenl, whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an Audil0rf6 report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance 15 a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI wll always detect a material misstatement when il exi518. Mi3318lements can arise
frorn fraud or error and are considered m81erial if, individu811y or In the aggregate, they could reasonably be
expected to influence the economic decisions ol users taken on the bas[$ ol these financi81 Statements.
Inegulari￿￿$, Including fraud, are instances of noTreompli*nce wth law8 and regulations. We design procedures
in line with our responsibili￿'es, outlined above, lo detect material misslatemenls in respect of Irregularities,
Including ftaud, The exlenl lo which our procedureg are capable of delecling irregularilie5, including fr8ud is
detsll8d below.,
We obt8ined an understandlng of the legal Jnd regulatory framework3 vAlhin which the charitable company
operates, focusing on those law5 and Tegulaiions that have a direct effect on the delerminalion of material
8mounls and disc105ure8 in the financial slalemenls. The laws and regulation5 we considered in Ihis contexi
were the Companie5 Act 2006, laxalion legislation, together with the Charities SORP IFRS 1021, We assessed
the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related flnancigl
Slalemenl ilem$.
In addllion, we considered provlslons ol other 18WB and regulations that do not have a dlrect effect on the
financial slalemenls bul compliance wih vthich might be fundamental lo the charitable company'5 abi15ly lo
operate or lo avold a material penalty. We also considered the opportunlues and incents'ves that rnay exlsl within
the eharllable company lor fraud. The laws and regulations we considered In this conlexl lor the UK operations
were The Educ81Son Ilndependenl School Standards) Regulats'on8 2014, General Dat8 Protection Regulaknon
IGDPRI, Health and safely legislation, and Employment legisl8lion.
Auditing slandardg Ilmlt the required audit procedure8 to idenllfy non-compliance with Ihe8e laws and regulations
lo enquiry ol the Truslee8 and other managernenl and inspeetlon of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial ststements from irregularities, including fraud.
lo be income recognits'on (excluding fee income) the overnde of ¢onlrols by management. OUT audr( procedures
lo respond lo these risks included enqulTle5 of management, and the Finance Comrnittee about their own
idenlfficalion and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on lh& posling of journ815. sample
testing of income, reviewing accounting estimates lor biases, reviewng regulatory correspondence with the
Charlty Commission, Independent Schools Inspeclorale, Ofsled and reading minutes of meetings of tho88
charged with governance.
¢lving to the inherent limltstions of an audit, there Is an un8voldable risk that we may not have detected som?
material misslalemenls in the financial stalemenls, even though we have propedy planned and performed our
audit in a¢¢ordance auditing standards. For exarnple, the luther removed non-compliance with 18ws and
Tegulalion5 lirregularilie$l is frorn the event5 and transactions reflected in the financial statemen15, the less likely
the inherendy limited procedures required by audib.ng standards would identify it. In addi15on, as wlh any audit,
there remained a highgr risk of non-deteclion of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omlssions, misrepresentations, or the overTide (>f inteTnal Controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-
compliance and ￿nn0t be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulatsons.

ontribulion rale of 23.68Ph.
The 31 March 2018 Valuation Report was prepared In accordance with the benefits sel out In the scheme

implementallon of the 2015 rafoms to Public Service Penslon8 Includlng the Teachers. Pen$ion8.
On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the govemmenl permission lo appeal the Court of Appeal'8
judgment that transltion41 provlgiong inlrodueed to the reformed penslon schemes In 2015 gave rise to
unlawfijl age discrimlnalion. The govemmenl is respecting the Court'5 decision and has said Il will engage
fully wllh the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member r6presenlalives lo agree how the
discriminations will be remedied, The government announced on 4 February 2021 that il intends to

accepted three key proposals recommended by the Government Actuary, and are aimlng lo Implement
these changes in time for the 2020 valuats'ons.
In view of the above Tuling5 and decisions the assumplion5 used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial Valuation
may become inappropriate. In thi5 scenario, a valuation prepared in accordance with revised benefi19 and
sultably revised assumptions would yield different results than those eonlained in the Actuaiial Valuation.
Until the cost cap mechani5rn revision 15 completed rt 15 not p055ible lo conclude on any financial impact
or future change5 to the contribution mle5 of the TPS. Accordingly no provision for any additional past
benefit pension costs is included in these financial statements.
