INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EDGBASTON HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

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

- the information given in the governors' report, which includes the directors' report and the strategic 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 strategic report and the governors' report included within the trustees' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' report included within the trustees' 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: 

- 

- 

- adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the group 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 trustees 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the group'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 trustees either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

_Page 16_ 



INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EDGBASTON HIGH SCHOOL FOR GIRLS 

## **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: 

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items. 

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were The Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Health and Safety legislation and employment legislation. 

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management, and the Directors about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, Independent Schools Inspectorate and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing noncompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. 

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.

The net incoming resources for the year arise from the company’s continuing activities. 

A detailed analysis of income by source and expenditure is provided in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

The above statement constitutes an income and expenditure account for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006. The net unrestricted movement in funds presented in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 19 of a gain of £376,573 (2021: gain of £1,094,872) includes total unrealised loss of £328,320 (2021: £699,491 unrealised gain) which would not ordinarily be included in an income and expenditure account for Companies Act 2006 purposes. This item has therefore been eliminated in arriving at the net income for the year of £703,287 (2021: £395,382 net income) presented above.

Edgbaston High School for Girls ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

## GENERAL INFORMATION 

Edgbaston High School for Girls (“the charity”) is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in England and Wales (Company registration number 10631 and charity number 504011). The address of the Charity’s registered office and principal place of business is Westbourne Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 3TS. 

The group consists of the charity and its one subsidiary, EHS (Property Services) Limited. 

The nature of the group’s operations are set out in the Directors’ Report. 

## BASIS OF ACCOUNTING 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities; Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (issued on 16 July 2014) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest whole £1. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is also the functional currency of the charity. 

Edgbaston High School for Girls 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. 

## BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION 

These financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Edgbaston High School for Girls (“the Charity”) and its subsidiary, EHS (Property Services) Limited (“the subsidiary”) all financial statements are made up to 31 August. 

The financial statements consolidate the results of the Charity and its wholly owned subsidiary on a line-byline basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and Statement of Comprehensive Income for the Charity have not been presented because the Charity has taken advantage of the exemption afforded by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. 

All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group entities are eliminated on consolidation. 

## GOING CONCERN 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the governors have a reasonable expectation that the group and charitable company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the governors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

The governors make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the group and charitable company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the group's and charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

The investment in the subsidiary company is stated at cost less impairment. 

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value 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 brought forward. 

## DEBTORS 

Trade and other debtors which are receivable within one year are initially recognised at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, being the transaction price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses. 

## CASH AND BANK BALANCES 

Cash and bank balances includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition. 

## TRADE CREDITORS AND LIABILTIES 

Trade creditors payable within one year are initially measured at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, being the transaction price less any amounts settled. 

## FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## PENSIONS 

Retirement benefits to teachers at the school are provided by the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (‘TPS’). This is a defined benefit scheme and the assets are held separately from those of the school. 

The TPS is an unfunded scheme and contributions are calculated so as to spread the cost of pensions over employees’ working lives with the school in such a way that the pension cost is a substantially level percentage of current and future pensionable payroll. The contributions are determined by the Government Actuary on the basis of quinquennial valuations using a prospective benefit method. As stated in Note 26, the TPS is a multi-employer scheme and the school is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis. The TPS is therefore treated as a defined contribution scheme and the contributions recognised as they are paid each year. 

For non-teaching staff the School makes defined contribution payments into individual personal pension schemes. The amount charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in respect of these pension costs is the contributions payable by the School in the year.  Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the Balance Sheet.

## Edgbaston High School for Girls ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

## OPERATING LEASES 

The annual rentals for “operating leases” are charged to the income and expenditure account on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## IMPAIRMENTS 

Fixed assets are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or as otherwise required by relevant accounting standards. 

Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts, being the higher of net realisable value and value-in-use, are recognised as impairments. All impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT 

The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. There are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

## **Teachers’ Pension Scheme** 

The Teachers' Pensions Scheme (“TPS”) is a statutory, contributory, defined benefit scheme, governed by the Teachers' Pensions Regulations 2010. The TPS is an unfunded scheme and members contribute on a 'pay as-you-go' basis, and along with employers' contributions, are credited to the Exchequer. 

During the financial Year 2021/22, EHS Employers’ Contribution rate was 23.68%. 

The pension costs paid to TPS in the year amounted to £1,368,615 (2021: £1,308,971). 

Under the definitions set out in (FRS 102) (Section 28), the TPS is a multi-employer pension scheme. The School is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme. 

Accordingly, the School has accounted for its contributions to the scheme as if it were a definedcontribution scheme. The School has set out above the information available on the scheme and the implications for the School in terms of the anticipated rates. 

For non-teaching staff the company directly employed 90 members of staff (2021: 94) who had pension rights accruing under individual personal pension schemes on a defined contribution basis. The total pension cost for the period in respect of these schemes was £211,032 (2021: £195,951). 

There were outstanding contributions at 31 August 2022 totalling £18,785.52 (2021: £16,838).

The 31 March 2016 Valuation Report was prepared in accordance with the benefits set out in the scheme regulations and under the approach specified in the Directions, as they applied at 5 March 2019. However, the assumptions were considered and set by the Department for Education prior to the ruling in the ‘McCloud/Sargeant case’. This case has required the courts to consider cases regarding the implementation of the 2015 reforms to Public Service Pensions including the Teachers’ Pensions. 

On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the government permission to appeal the Court of Appeal’s judgment that transitional provisions introduced to the reformed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to unlawful age discrimination. The government is respecting the Court’s decision and has said it will engage fully with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member representatives to agree how the discriminations will be remedied. The government announced on 4 February 2021 that it intends to proceed with a deferred choice underpin under which members will be able to choose either legacy or reformed scheme benefits in respect of their service during the period between 1 April 2015 and 31 March 2022 at the point they become payable. 

The TPS is subject to a cost cap mechanism which was put in place to protect taxpayers against unforeseen changes in scheme costs. The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, having in 2018 announced that there would be a review of this cost cap mechanism, in January 2019 announced a pause to the cost cap mechanism following the Court of Appeal’s ruling in the McCloud/Sargeant case and until there is certainty about the value of pensions to employees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020, and a consultation was launched on 24 June on proposed changes to the cost control mechanism following a review by the Government Actuary. Following a public consultation, the Government have accepted three key proposals recommended by the Government Actuary, and are aiming to implement these changes in time for the 2020 valuations. 

The 2016 cost control valuations have since been completed in January 2022, and the results indicated that there would be no changes to changes to the employer contribution rate resulting from the 2020 valuations will take effect in April 2024. 

Until the 2020 valuation is completed it is not possible to conclude on any financial impact or future changes to the contribution rates of the TPS. Accordingly no provision for any additional past benefit pension costs is included in these financial statements. benefits or member contributions required. The results of the cost cap valuation are not used to set the employer contribution rate, and HM Treasury has confirmed that any changes to the employer contribution rate resulting from the 2020 valuations will take effect in April 2024.
