THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS

Year ended 31 August 2021

The Governors present the annual report together with the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021. The Governors have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.

Reference & Administrative Information

The Charity was founded in 1985 and is registered with the Charity Commission under Charity Registration number 517152.

The Foundation's Governors, executive officers, principal addresses of the Charity and the Charity's advisors are as listed on page 1.

Scheme

The Charity Scheme is dated 29th July 1985. The Scheme dated 6th February 1998 was published in accordance with Section 16 of the Charities Act 1993.

Governing Body

The Foundation has one Governing Body of which, all Governors are volunteers. During the year the Foundation had four nominative Governors, the remaining being co-opted.

Each Governor is given a joining pack and attends school for an induction visit prior to election.

The Governing Body is a member of the Association of Governing Bodies of Independent Schools. Governors attend regional meetings of the Association and the proceedings are cascaded to the Board.

Organisational Governance

Some of the Governors are also the Trustees of the Charity. The Governors elect their Chairman and Vice Chairman each year at the AGM. Currently four governors form the board and act as trustees of the Charity with overall financial and governance responsibility, a further four co-opted governors share governance responsibility. The governing body are responsible for the overall management and control of the Foundation and meet on a regular basis. Sub-committees elect their own Chairperson and report to the Board of Governors who are able to view its minutes. Sub-committees are responsible to the Board of Governors.

The day-to-day running of the school is delegated to the Head of Foundation, supported by Foundation Leadership Team (FLT) consisting of the Business Operations Manager and the Head Teacher of The Junior School and the Senior Management Team (SMT) consisting of the Deputy Head-Pastoral, Deputy Head-Academic and the Deputy Head of the Junior School.

The training and induction provided for new Governors will depend upon their existing experience. Where necessary induction will provide training on charity and educational, legal and financial matters. All new Governors will be given a tour of the School and the chance to meet with staff and students. All new Governors are provided with copies of policies, procedures, and other documents they will need to undertake their role as Governors. As new Governors are rarely appointed, induction tends to be done informally and is tailored specifically to the individual.

Vision

Aims, Ethos and Values

Our mission is to provide an outstanding all-round education for our pupils aged 3-16, through which excellence, achievement and self-confidence are developed and nurtured both within and beyond the classroom. Specifically we aim to meet the following objectives.

2

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS (CONTINUED) Year ended 31 August 2021

Every child is happy, safe and secure

Ensuring the well-being of our pupils is of paramount importance in the face of the pressures of modern society. We pursue this through dedicated and compassionate pastoral care. Our relatively small size means that every child is known and valued as an individual. We are a diverse school community where inclusion of and respect for all is central. Our pupils develop a sense of belonging and pride in their school.

Every child achieves their academic potential

We have the highest expectations of our pupils. We encourage them to aspire to excellence and achieve the very best they can. Our small class sizes allow for high levels of individual attention and personalised support. Our broad and varied curriculum, together with a blend of traditional and innovative teaching approaches, ensures that pupils also enjoy learning for its own sake.

Every child develops self-confidence and social skills

We provide a wealth of opportunities for personal development through our extensive extra-curricular programme, student leadership roles and opportunities for the expression of ‘pupil voice’. We encourage pupils to show resilience and perseverance in the face of challenge and adversity. We create opportunities to think creatively and to display curiosity, and to discover their own talents. We teach them the merits of working both independently and collaboratively.

Everyone exemplifies universal moral and spiritual values

We want our pupils to show compassion and empathy alongside aspiration and ambition. We instill the highest standards of behaviour, honesty, integrity, and courtesy. We stress the importance of making a contribution to wider society and of being ‘good citizens’. We actively promote respect and appreciation for different beliefs and ways of life. We seek to engender spiritual awareness in its broadest sense, and the development of local, national and global perspectives.

Objectives during the year

The Governors continue to support the Head of Foundation and staff in their endeavours to develop the education facilities and environment of the foundation. The Board has also supported the efforts being taken by the Head of Foundation to develop the academic standards of the foundation. The Governors continue to offer Bursary assistance to pupils in appropriate cases and continue to endorse the scholarship scheme. The Governors are pleased with the sporting and musical successes of the school. In virtually all sports the Foundation has county or district players and has achieved a number of successes in competitive fixtures against other schools.

In setting The Foundation's objectives for the five year Improvement Plan, the Governors have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit with targets being reviewed on an annual basis. The key objectives within the plan are as follows:

The Grammar School is a member of the Independent Schools Association (ISA) and the Independent Schools Council (ISC).

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS (CONTINUED) Year ended 31 August 2021

Academic Achievements during the year

This was a second year in which the school was impacted by the pandemic and consequent disruption to GCSE exams. The cancellation of these resulted in GCSE grades being awarded on the basis of teacher assessment. Internal examinations proceeded as normal is the summer term and were used to identify areas where additional provision or consolidation was required.

Academic outcomes at GCSE

A major focus of the summer term for senior school teaching staff was the process of awarding teacher assessed grades due to the cancellation of exams. This was a complex and time consuming process which required staff to collate and judge as wide a range of evidence as possible to award an appropriate GCSE grade. A balance had to be struck between avoiding grade inflation and over generosity with also being fair to the students and minimising the chance of a student appeal. The staff carried out the process with commendable professionalism and integrity. The grades were not challenged by the exam boards, and no student appeals (beyond initial enquiries) were submitted.

The eventual results were very pleasing and reflected the ability and hard work of the students and the dedication of the teachers to secure the best possible outcomes for their students. Our top performer achieved an amazing 6 grade 9s and 2 grade 8s, whilst 3 others each secured a fantastic 4 grade 9s. Overall a record 29 grade 9s were achieved by Hipperholme students. 41% of all grades were at grade 7-9 (the old A-A* grades) and 91% at grade 5 or above. 96% of students achieved 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above.

Junior school academic outcomes

Form 3

The results from the GL Assessments in June were representative of the children’s abilities shown in class. Two thirds of the class scored above average in English. The lowest standardised score was 84 and the two highest performing children scored 128. (The average is 100) In maths, three quarters of the class scored above average. The lowest standardised score was 86 and the top two performers scored 124. These results were very pleasing considering almost one term was learning from home. The Salford Reading test showed that 7 children were reading over two years above their chronological age, 3 of whom exceeded the maximum score of 10.6+ years.

Form 4

F4 GL Maths results in November and May were largely as expected and the progress from one to the other was in line with expectations with a couple of exceptions. The presentation of some questions, e.g. a geometry knowledge question within a statistical format, was confusing and a significant number were wrongfooted by this one, despite displaying good understanding in lessons. In English there were some very high individual performances and pleasing progress over the year. Good progress in reading was confirmed by the end of year Salford test, with half the class having a reading age of 10.6+ (the maximum). This was despite a lack of formal 1-1 reading opportunities during the time of home schooling in the Spring Term.

Form 5

The GL Assessments, that were completed in June, broadly reflected the class expectations and how the children were performing in class. The overall majority of the class were meeting or exceeding expectations for Maths and English.The results also reflected lower scores for those children who struggled to access classroom activities on a regular basis or who did not have as much support to access the lessons at home. Parents were very supportive of the school approach to live lessons during the second Lockdown.

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS (CONTINUED) Year ended 31 August 2021

Form 6

Form 6 exam results are as expected after their completion in May/June. The vast majority of children scored within or above the expected results. There were some issues, particularly with maths, with the wording and style of answering, which will have negatively impacted the results of some children. The results also demonstrated the difficulties faced by the children who were not adequately supported at home during the lockdown period, as their results showed little to no progress, particularly in areas in which they were receiving additional support in school. Reading scores showed that nearly all children exceeded the maximum reading age of 10.6+, most before they arrived in year 6.

Sporting, musical and other achievements

The year started out with no team games which plays a huge role within Hipperholme and we focused on a lot more individual sports such as fitness and the Hipperholme House Cup. Within fitness pupils got to experience a range of activities including, yoga, pilates, mobility training, weight training, crossfit, boxercise and many more. This introduction of a wider scope of fitness was a huge hit and pupils started to realise there was a lot more choice when it came to physical fitness. As well as this, the Hipperholme House Cup was introduced whereby all houses across all years competed in a range of athletic events and this kicked off the year with a competitive spirit. It was Lister who came out on top and took the victory.

As the year went on things took a turn, pupils were sent home to isolate and ‘live lessons’ were introduced. Every single Core PE lesson was live and all PE staff took to the screen within the sports hall. The pupils joined in each lesson and started making a lot of noise at home (sorry) but they sure got fitter, stronger and more flexible! As a department, we couldn't have been more proud with the attendance and the engagement of the pupils. The lessons were so good, parents decided to train with us as well!

As things got back to normality within school, the PE spirit was in full swing after the great lockdown lessons and our amazing Y10 Sports Ambassadors thought they would kick-start things by setting up a charity fundraiser for Overgate Hospice and Martins House Hospice. Each pupil and member of staff would measure how many steps they did per week for 5 weeks. The purpose was to raise money for charity and carry on promoting active lifestyles amongst our pupils. They raised an amazing £440 and this went to a fantastic cause!

Now, although all sporting competitions with other schools were put on hold, that didn't stop sport within the school from taking place. Our extra-curricular programme was limited for obvious reasons, but the clubs we did put pupils in came in big numbers! Each lunchtime the sports hall was filled with a year group at a time enjoying sport and having fun. Football and netball were slowly introduced, badminton was a huge hit, and athletics, basketball, rounders, and dodgeball were big favourites!

Another PE event that pupils really enjoyed was the 100 Challenge set by Captain Sir Tom Moore. Captain Sir Tom was a huge inspiration to us all during difficult times. Through his courage, perseverance and strength at the age of 99, he united the nation. He set himself the challenge of raising £1000 for NHS charities by walking 100 laps of his garden before his 100th birthday. He actually raised £33 million and lifted the spirits of people around the world. He reminded us that each one of us can achieve amazing things if we have faith. Within PE, we then decided to set a challenge of pupils doing something for 100 times like Captain Sir Tom. It could have been running 100 laps of your garden, drawing 100 pictures, completing an activity for 100 minutes, spotting 100 different things on your daily walk. The response from our amazing pupils was above and beyond. We had the whole school getting involved!

Public Benefit Submission

The object of the Charity is "the provision and conduct in or near Hipperholme of a day school for boys and girls". The school attracts pupils from a wide area and its pupils closely reflect the social and ethnic mix and character of the surrounding towns and villages in West Yorkshire. The Board of Governors continues to encourage pupils to fulfil the Foundation's vision by the use of the schools and their facilities by the local community. The Board also encourages both schools to move out into the community by arranging sporting and cultural activities with other local schools and residents of all ages. Local residents are made welcome to the school to watch performances of plays etc, thereby extending pupil awareness. The School has taken up corporate membership of both the Overgate Hospice in Elland and the Forget Me Not Children's Hospice in Huddersfield and supports both organisations through fundraising events, monthly donations and marketing.

The Governors confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the grant making policy for the year.

The public benefit submission shows the extent of which the schools are actively associating themselves with the local community.

Educational provision during national lockdown

The school was able to build on the foundations established during the 2020 lockdown to ensure that effective remote learning was in place when needed in 2020-21. In line with DfE guidance contingency plans were published to address a range of scenarios ranging from individual pupil or staff absence due to self isolation, to full school closure. The main elements were the use of Google Classroom and Google Meet for live lessons as the norm. The details were set out in a document which was published on our website, ands remains in force when applicable. Feedback from parents was almost universally positive.

Bursaries, Scholarships & Community Access

The Governors have continued their aim of teaching children from across the socio-economic spectrum. To realise this aim the award of financial assistance to parents is fundamental. The award of financial assistance in the form of Bursaries equates to 3% (2020 - 4%) of the total fees across the Foundation and is a reflection of the wider economic environment that impacts on fee paying parents.

During the past academic year, the Governors have been keen to extend the Charity's ability to assist parents and pupils of all backgrounds to access the school through a scholarship scheme for pupils aged 11. Scholarships are awarded under the categories: Academic, Sporting and Music. The aim of the scholarship awards is to encourage gifted and talented students to access the school at Year 7. The total expended on Scholarships in 2020-21 at the grammar school equated to 3% (2020 - 3%) of income.

Our designation as a Charitable Trust established in 1985 gains us the following financial advantages:

6

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS (CONTINUED) Year ended 31 August 2021

The history of the school has been as a charitable institution from its inception in 1648. In 1985 the school became independent and co-educational. The Trustees strive to achieve the Charitable Objectives through many activities:

Fundraising Activities

The Foundation doesn’t actively fundraise, but appreciates the donations from the public. The Foundation does not use any professional fundraiser or commercial participator to carry out activities on the Foundation’s behalf.

Due to the low level of fundraising the Foundation undertakes, the Foundation is not a participant of a voluntary scheme for regulating fundraising, or any voluntary standard of fundraising for the activities carried out on behalf of the Foundation. Should the charity at some point in the future undertake a specific fundraising campaign or start to generate more income through fundraising, the trustees will look to sign up to a voluntary fundraising code.

Risk Management

The Foundation's Governors are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the school. Risks are identified, assessed and controls established. The school employs a Health and Safety company which provides advice and guidance on risk management on premises and a Law firm to look at identifying legal risk.

7

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS (CONTINUED)

Year ended 31 August 2021

Key controls used by the Charity include:

The Board has insurance in place to cover the activities of the school.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Foundation has achieved a surplus for the year of £164,136 (2020: £237,957), and has net current assets at 31st August 2021 of £143,513 (2020: net liabilities of £55,161).

Cash flow projections and income and expenditure budgets were previously prepared for a 3-year period to 31 August 2024 and are being continually monitored and updated by the Governors.

The Governors have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Foundation’s trade, workforce and supply chain, as well as the wider economy. Whilst it is not considered practical to accurately assess the duration and extent of the disruption, the Governors are confident that they have in place plans to deal with any financial losses that may arise.

The Governors have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to continue to use the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements.

The Parents' Association (PTA)

The Foundation's Parents' Association was suspended in 2020 due to the pandemic and no events have taken place since. The Association is looking to restart events in the next few months.

Marketing

The School has a part time Creative and Communications Manager. The school also has a marketing committee made up of teaching and administrative staff, who are working hard to maintain the high profile of the school particularly on social media.

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GOVERNORS (CONTINUED) Year ended 31 August 2021

Review of Financial Activities

A surplus arose on the operating activities of the school amounting to £235,570 (2020 - £281,693), donations and investment income received amounted to £166 (2020 - £8). The Foundation's activities during the year generated an overall surplus of £164,136 (2020 - £237,957).

Review of Funds and Reserve Policy

A surplus of £164,136 (2020 - £237,957), accrued to the General Reserve Fund during the year after £26,537 (2020 - £50,330) was transferred to the Bursary fund. The carried forward balance on unrestricted funds was £1,754,399 (2020 - £1,585,691).

It is the aim of the trustees to have a reserve of £1 million pounds held as an unrestricted fund readily available in relatively liquid form; this would enable the trustees to meet its liabilities as they arise. All schools are subject to a wide range of risks, many of which have financial implications, contingency funds are appropriate to be held as mitigation against the effect of such risks. The School has a formalised approach to risk management which identifies major risks that it faces, assesses their severity in terms of impact and likelihood, and identifies mitigating actions, the reserves would be used to mitigate these financial risks.

At 31 August 2021, the Foundation's free reserves (unrestricted funds which are freely accessible) totalled £121,952 (2020 - (£60,265)).

Statement of Governors' Responsibilities

The Governors are responsible for preparing the Governors’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Governors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Governors are required to:

The Governors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 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 Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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 HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION Year ended 31 August 2021

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Hipperholme Grammar School Foundation for the year ended 31 August 2021, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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 charity’s affairs as at 31 August 2021, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 Charities Act 2011.

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 charity 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 Governor's 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 charity'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 Governors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the governors' annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The governors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual 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.

11

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION (CONTINUED) Year ended 31 August 2021

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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of governors

As explained more fully in the report of the governors, the governors 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 governors 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 governors are responsible for assessing the charity’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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

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:

12

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE GOVERNORS OF THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION (CONTINUED) Year ended 31 August 2021

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of acts by the charity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

We focused on laws and regulations, relevant to the charity, which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management, review of minutes and legal expenses. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it.

As part of our audit, we addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing of journals and review of nominal ledger. We evaluated whether there was evidence of bias by the governors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

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 charity’s governors, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s governors 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 charity and the charity’s governors as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 August 2021

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 in October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The Hipperholme Grammar School Foundation constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

Going Concern

The Governors have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the Foundation’s trade, workforce and supply chain, as well as the wider economy. Whilst it is not considered practical to accurately assess the duration and extent of the disruption, the Governors are confident that they have in place plans to deal with any financial losses that may arise.

The Governors have therefore concluded that it is appropriate to continue to use the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements.

1.2 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Governors in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Governors for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

17

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 August 2021

1.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Fees receivable and charges for services and use of premises are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided. Fees receivable are stated after the deduction of allowances, scholarships and other remissions granted by the school from its unrestricted funds, but include contributions received from restricted funds for bursaries and other grants.

Donations received for the general purposes of the Charity are included as unrestricted funds. Donations for activities restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to restricted funds where these wishes are legally binding on the Governors.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Charity educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity apportioned to charitable activities.

All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets additions costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost. Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

2% straight line 20% straight line 25% straight line

18

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 August 2021

1.6 Leasing and hire purchase

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the Charity. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.

1.7 Operating leases

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.

1.8 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value on a first in first out basis.

1.9 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

1.10 Debtors

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

1.11 Cash at Bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.12 Pensions

Retirement benefits to employees of the School are provided by the Teachers' Pension Scheme ('TPS"). This is a defined benefit scheme, is contracted out of the State Earnings-Related Scheme ("SERFS"), 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 charity 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 14 the TPS is a multi-employer scheme and the Charity 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.

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for support staff. Contributions payable to the scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

The school also contributes to defined contribution pension schemes for non-teaching staff. The assets of these schemes are held in separately identifiable funds.

19

THE HIPPERHOLME GRAMMAR SCHOOL FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Year ended 31 August 2021

1.13 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

1.14 Investments

Investments are included at closing mid-market value at the Balance Sheet date. Any gain or loss on revaluation is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities. Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the Charity is entitled to receipt.

1.15 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.16 Government grants

Grants received in relation to the government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (Furlough) have been recognised within other operating income. The grant is accounted for on the accruals basis once the related payroll return has been submitted.

8. Tangible fixed assets (continued)

Under the Foundation's Scheme, the land and property occupied by Hipperholme Grammar School in 1985, when the present Foundation was established, is registered in the name of the Official Custodian of Charities.

Other land and buildings were revalued during February 2017 by Sanderson Weatherall, independent valuers not connected with the Foundation, to a carrying amount of £1,775,000 on the basis of market value subject to the special assumption of vacant possession. During the year ending 31 August 2019, land was disposed of which was included in this valuation at £28,914.

If revalued assets were stated on an historical cost basis rather than a fair value basis, the total amounts included would be a carrying cost of £952,306 (2020 - £952,306) and accumulated depreciation of £757,989 (2020 - £741,522).

97

The charity participates in a multi employer defined benefits pension scheme, the Teachers' Pension Scheme (England & Wales), for its teaching staff. As a result it is not possible or appropriate to identify the assets and liabilities of the scheme which are attributable to the Charity.

The rates of contribution are set by the Government Actuary and during the period the school contributed 23.68% (2020 - 23.68%) of pensionable salaries to the scheme. Contributions payable for the year totalled £263,204 (2020 - £263,138).

The non teaching staff are eligible to participate in defined contributions pension schemes. The assets of these schemes are held in separately identifiable funds, which are administered by authorised third parties. Employers' contributions totalling £16,569 (2020 - £16,368) were payable in respect of these pension schemes during the year.

Contributions totalling £33,534 (2020 - £31,757) were payable to the above schemes at the year end and are included within creditors.
