POWNALL HALL SCHOOL TRUST LIMITED GOVERNORS. REPORT ICONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS.

This year the focus has continued to be on enhanung and mtryemising leaehing facilit$. There has been further investment in ICT and the proWSn of interactive leaching and arnIng equipment in all classrooms and facilities is now complele. Progres$ has been made in achieving htgh speed broadband conne¢livity. The Governors, st8ff and parents, together with their thildren. a parttularty commrtted to the School's contribution lo the WKler kcal community. The Hall being a grade 2" IL%ted Arts and Crafts building is opened to visitors on Several occasion5 during the year. The Schoofs Sporting and other kn"lilies are frequently used by l¢xal Sports clubs and similar organisations and the GOVerT$ are seeking to extend this opportunity to those who are not fortunate enough to have their wn faulits. Our children's plays and choral actNilies are provided lo many in the community. in particular pensionets. and a nSIderable number of charitable activities are organi5ed by all rnembers of the School community. The School's operations are funded in the main by fee income. Hwever, the G¢)vernors and other volunteers and supporters of the S¢h¢xJl are alert to potential fundraising opportunitses although these are laelY focused on specific projects. The Schod's Parents.

The Govemovs would h.ke to reeord their appreciation of Ihe parents. contribution to the School. Flnancial rnview At 31 August 2019 the financirrfJ of the School ccAYpnsed the interim klan of £1,050,000 frcffi a personal lender and loans from Govemors and their families of £458.000. The repayment of these loans was extended lo April 2022 to enable the Governors to conclude altemative fvnding arfangements. The adverse financial impact of the Covid pandemic, which has continued in to 20r21 and beyond, has meant that the School is unable pSentlY lo meet the ndIfi9 pararrlers and crrteria indKated by c1 bankers as a requirem1 for refinancing. Discussions with the bankers are ongoing as a discussK)ns with the personal lender and Govemors. Although the Govemors have not sought a further repayment deferral of the loans, they are comfortable that no precipitative aCtn will be taken by the pepxlnal lender or Governors in resped of their loans, espeo*ly as discussions ale ongoing. The Governors report a deficit of £186.607 for the peno(l. c¢mp3red to a deftit of £62.407 In the previous pellod which did reflect synificanl non-recurring net inca)me. Numbers in the School increased in the first part of 2019r20 and were relativety Stab thereafter. Thi$ has continued in to 20121 and beyond. There were hcMfe¥er many adverse impacts of the pandemic. Session t¥Jokings for the Nursery and Kindergarten were significanlty reduced for the Trinity term 2020 as a result of the restrictions and in particular the incidence of working from home. Although online educational provision was delivered for these groups. online attendance wa5 imwxed and many parents chose not to settle these fe0$ as Child car8 was nol provKled. In common wrth many other independent sthools, the Govemors awarded a 10% fee discount on all fees. Charges for lunches were waived although some provision wa5 evenlualty made towards the end of term as children relumed but no charges were lewed. The Sch¢)ol experienced a much greater inudence of iffecoverable debts. Disappointingly a number of. parents refused to settle fees for a number of reasons and the Govemofs chose not to pursue settlement. Some panIS experienced difficutty encouraging their children lo ertgage with the online provision and did nol settle the fees. Other paonts were in financial drfficulty- some were granted additional diseLJunt, others were granted deferred paymenl temis whth are ongoing al the date of approval of this report.
POWNALL HALL SCHOOL TRUST LIMITED GOVERNORS. REPORT (CONTINUED){INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 AUGUST 2020 Additional costs were incurred in ensuring that School infrastructure and deployment d resources Clp11ed with the Social distancing and other requirernents when on srte provision resumed. It will be ewdent that the Schwl suffered a nIficant Ios5 of ino)me as well as exceptional ccBts. Thi5 was mitwaled by furlough grants although the Govemors deuded that the School woukl continue to pay 100% of salaftes to those furloughed in recogntiLm of the al service of the stsff affected. and the factthat they would be undef increased pressure when School SuMed on gte. As a result the School has exFanced, and is stdl experiencing. cash llow pre56ures. The Govemors Rmain disappointed that our bankers were unable to approve a Coronawrus interruption boan of £200.000 although the School did receive a Bounce Ba( Loan of £S0.000. The Govemors are gratefvl to HMRC who granled deferred payment lemis for PAYE and Teachers. Pension ntrIbutiOns. At the date of approval of Ihis report, the School has repa approximately £188,000 of backlog PAYE. The Govemors note that repayment of tr interruption loan would have been over 5 years Stathng in September 2021 - at the date of approval of this report. repayments of onty around £17.000 woukj have been made. The Cash flow pressures continue arKI the Governors recognise the uncertainty of the &hool's finanaal position as a result. and the Govemors a¢knty¥ledge Ihe a(hJrtional uncertainty in respect of the repayment of the bans described aL¥)ve. Roservè8 policy The Govemors, policy towards reseNes is to invest any surpluses in the School's facilities and infrastructure. Allhough this impacts on reseNes only through the progressive reccgnTts"on of depreeialion in the Statement of Financial Aetivrtie5, the irnpact on the School's cash resources is immediate. Consequertrtly the Governors think rt appropriate that the overall financkgl posrtTh. induding in partKular Ihe cash position, infomis arKI influences the policy on, and level of. reserves. The Govemors a conscious that the Unrestricted funds are in de11. However, as staled above, the school is experiencing stability in numbers and although the impact of Covid-19 has postponed the retum to 'profitability. the Governors expect that they will be able to report trading profrts in future yea. The sale of surplus land in 2017118 yielded a $ignffi¢ant profit and was consislenl wrth the valuation of the 901.$ freehold land and buildings, undertaken in 2012 as part of the nety)Ih91ns in connection wrth the increased bank facilities. which indicated a value signFficanlty in excess of the catrying value in the balance sheet. Under the direction of the Govemors and the Headrnaster. the School has continued to invest in modernising and enhancing the teaching provision, and in the provision of rthv fwlities which will enhan the education experience of our chiléren. Essential, albeit modest. investment pr(¥3rammes were continued during this period. The current emphasis has been on new teaching and assessment schemes. as well as on direct contscl teaching methods and content. Some of the investrnenl was once again funded by our Parents, Committee and we again record our appreaation of their brebess actwities. supp)rt and conlribution. The Board of Govemors is resp)nsible for managem1 of risks faced by School. Detailed consideration and management ol risks are delegated to the executive management team who report informally lo the Business Management Committee I'BMC'I and Board. The Governors have continued to implement enhanced risk management processes during the year. Major risks and issues a evaluated and considered at all management meetings and the risk identification, assessment and response proc£ss has been formally documented during the year. The Govemors and execulive management team are risk onscious and are satisfied that the major risks faced by the School h8vÈ bÈÈn managed and mrtigaled to an adequate extent.

The pension charge for the year includes contributions payab lo the scheme of £188.475 {2019 - £117.6881 and at the year end ContribunS of £110.009 {2019- £15,262) accrued in resFecI of conlribulions lo Ihe scheme. The TPS is an unfvnded multimployer defined beneffts scheme govemed by the Teachers, Pension Schefne Re9ul8tions 2014. Members contribute on a 'pay as you 9D" ba515 With CDntributionts frorn members and the employer being credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by ParlramenL The employef contribvtion iale is sel following scheme ValualnS undertaken by the Government Actuary's Department. The most recent uari81 valuation of the TPS was pPared as at 31 March 2016 and the Volualion report, which was published in March 2019, confimed that the employer eonlribulion iale for the TPS would increase from 16.4% to 23.6% from 1 September 2019. Empbyers a abo required to pay a scheme administration levy of 0.08% givin9 a lotsl employer contribution rale of 23.68%. The 31 March 2016 valuation report was wepared in accordance with the bènefits set out the $cme regulations and under the approath specified in the diiects"ons. as they applied at 5 March 2019. However, the assumptsons were considered and set by the Department for Educatkjn prior lo the ruling in the 'M¢CloudlSargeant case,. This case has required the ccwrts lo consider cases regarding the implementation of the 2015 reforms to Publtc Service Pensions includirg the Teachers. Pensions. On 27 June 2019 the Supreme Court denied the Govemmenl peisSion lo appeal the Court of Appeal's judgement that transitional provIsn$ introduced lo 11)e refomed pension schemes in 2015 gave rise to unlawlul age discrimination. The 9ovemmenl is respeding the Court's decision and has said il will engage fulty with the Employment Tribunal as well as employer and member representatives to agree how the discriminations will be remedied. A consuhation was launched by the government on 16 July 2020. and closed to re$wnses on 11 Octcthr 2020. The TPS is suty'ect lo a cost cap mechanism which was pul in p*e to protect taxpayers against unforeseen changes in scheme $ts. The Chief Seuetsry to Ihe Treasury, having in 2018 announced that there would be a revrew of this cost cap rnechanism. in January 2019 announced a pause lo the cost cap mechanism followirrfJ the Court of Appeal's ruling in the Mccloudlsargeanl case and until there.is certainty about the value of pensnS to empkjyees from April 2015 onwards. The pause was lifted in July 2020 and the govemment is preparing to complete the cost eofitrol element of the 2016 ValuatnS, which is expected to be completed in 2021. In view of the above rulings and deusions and the assumptions used in the 31 March 2016 Actuarial ValuatKJn may beme inappropriate. In this scenarKI, a ValUatn prepared in accordance with revised benefits and suilably revised assumptions woukJ yield drfterent results that those contained in the Actuarial Vdluallon. Until the consulL3tion and the cost cap mechanism revivw are c¢¥npleted il is nol possible lo conclude on any financial impact or future changes lo the contribution rates of Ihe TPS. Accordingty no provisKJn for any addilional past benefrt pension costs is included in these ffinancral statements. The School also runs a group personal pension scheme for its non-teaching stsff. The cost for the year represents the Schoofs contrrbutions to this scheme.
