Thi5 passion for languages is reflected In the number of Ffynone pupils that were re¢ognised a5 2022 Welsh Region Champions in the Anthea Bell Prlze for Young Tianslators (run by Queen's College and 5t Hugh's College Oxlordl.

The school continues to successfully attratt students from a wide cross section of primary schools throughout the reglon. The number of students is con515tent with class sizes of 15-23 students. Small class sizes Bive students an excellent learnin8 experience yet retain the family environment on which the school was founded. Teachlng and learnlng In keeping with other independent schools in Wale5, Ffynone has chosen to follow Énglish speciflcations rather than Welsh. We believe these curricula better prepare our students for the next stage of thelr ed¢Jcation and facilitate greater mobility of students between England and Wales.

Auditorfs re5pon5ibilities for the audit of the financial ststements 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 assuran￿ about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material missialement, whether due to fraud or error, and to 155ue an audrtor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. but is not a 8uarantee that an audit tonducted In accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detett a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, indlvidually 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-compllance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in resped of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detectin8 irre8ularitie5. including fraud id detailed below. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity and determined that the most signific3nt are those that relate to.. FR5102 Employment law Tax & pension law Health & safety We assessed the risks of material misstatement in respect of fraud as follows: We inquired with management about the existence of fraud and if there were any unusual transactions of relationships. We also performed various tests on the records to check for misstatement. We did not identify any issues. We considered the risk of fraud through management override and. in response, we incorporated testing of adjusting entries into our audit approach. Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify and to address material misstatements in relation to fraud. We considered the possibility of fraudulent payments to third parhes and a150 looked for segreg2tlon of duties.

GOING CONCERN The trustees Idirectorsl are aware that the unrestricted intome funds show a def1cit balance at 31 August 2023 of £83,396 after revaluation adjustment,12022 (lefiC￿ of £37,140) The financlal performance in 2023 showed 3 detline. The decline was because of a de(￿aSe in incDme and an Increase in bad debt5 The company is dependenl ort its bank for their continued support. The Trustees met with the bank in January 2022 following which the bank confirmed their ongoing support in terms of the overdraft facility and have converted £400,0(KJ of the overdraft amount to a structured loan agreement. The company is also dependent on the ongoing support of the Teachers penslon Scheme ITPSI and HMRC PAYE due to the amount that Is outstanding. There are payment arrangements in place to clear these balances and at the date of the report of the accounts all payments had been made in line with the agreements. It is posslble that the trusiees may need to consider the sale of the Investment property to ralse funds to clear the balances owed. This may not be the desired action but it would put the School back on sound footing and enable the school to move forward without any signiflcant creditors. The trustees are aware of the UK governmenl's decision to Sntroduce VAT on private school fees. At Ihi5 poinl in time tl Is unclear what effert this will have on the schools pupil numbers and ihere Is uncertainty what the impact could be on the income of the charitv. Page31
