The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

On appointment new trustees are required to undertake an induction and training programme to help them make a positive contribution to the school process. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Board of trustees are responsible for the overall policies and strategy of the company. Day to day management is undertaken by the school principal. 

## **Related parties** 

Related party details and transactions are shown in the notes to the accounts. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

To establish and carry on a school for girls and boys up to the age of sixteen and to supply a sound spiritual, classical, scientific and general education. 

The aim of the school is to provide a rounded education that will provide pupils with the skills necessary to achieve their maximum potential; to provide teachers with a rewarding environment in which to work and to make available the school facilities to the wider community. 

The school has a policy of offering academic and music scholarships to both internal and external candidates. Bursaries are also offered to parents who find themselves in financial difficulties or who cannot afford the full fees. Pupils aged three and four are eligible for the Early Years' Grant and funding is made available for statement pupils by two local authorities. Pupils with special needs are welcomed and the school has good links with and support from local authorities.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Significant activities** 

The academic year from September 2019 to July 2020 has been a year unlike any other. A year in which the vagaries of Covid-19 wreaked havoc across all areas of school life.  But, as it is said "What doesn’t break you makes you stronger".  And stronger we certainly are. The unwavering commitment of staff has meant that we remain strong to thrive again. 

Before the pandemic reached lockdown stage the school enrichment programme was in full flow. Our Facebook page, used primarily to celebrate the children's achievement became increasingly popular and had a marked impact on the promotion of the school.  Activities such as: STEAM Physics' projects, Model United Nations, Lower School nature club, Pre-prep Graduation Day, Duke of Edinburgh Award, House Sports Competition, ISA Football Competition and Grand Designs as well as many more were showcased and illustrate the amazing depth of life at Tower College. Unfortunately, some of these along with our annual ski trip and residential trip to Lockerbie Manor fell victim to lockdown and subsequent government restrictions. We look forward to introducing a new outstanding enrichment programme when restrictions ease 

Though our GCSE results were teacher assessed and not reported in the usual way, they were still excellent. 51% were grades 7-9 with 16% being at the revered Grade . Over 98% were grades 4-9 

The accounts show a healthy balance sheet. However this must be viewed in the context of a substantial staff restructure, CJRS / Furlough grants and staff who continued to work accepting a 20% cut in salary 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees have complied with the duty contained in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 relating to public benefit. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees have set a policy of retaining reserves equivalent to one term's staff salaries. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

Principal funding source is school fee income. 

## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS** 

SPORTS HALL - Planning permission has been granted for a much needed addition to the school. Quotations are now being sought from five companies. 

TEACHING & LEARNING - With an impending EQI inspection the school is looking to implement dedicated members of staff across the departments to ensure a whole school approach to curriculum development 

WELL BEING - To implement a sull strategic programme for pupils and staff - even more vital considering Covid-19 whose extent on mental health is as yet unknown. 

CPD - We see this as a catalyst to whole school improvement. We have some exceptional staff who will make a real difference

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Christian Schools Ltd for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and 

- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. 

## **AUDITORS** 

The auditors, Bowyers Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Approved by order of the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Christian Schools Ltd** 

We have audited the financial statements of Christian Schools Ltd for the year ended 31 August 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' 

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and auditors** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities set out on page four, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company 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. 

Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board's Ethical Standards for Auditors, including APB Ethical Standard - Provisions Available for Small Entities (Revised), in the circumstances set out in note 19 to the financial statements 

## **Scope of the audit of the financial statements** 

An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the charitable company's circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the trustees; and the overall presentation of the financial statements. In addition, we read all the financial and non-financial information in the Report of the Trustees to identify material inconsistencies with the audited financial statements and to identify any information that is apparently materially incorrect based on, or materially inconsistent with, the knowledge acquired by us in the course of performing the audit. If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Christian Schools Ltd** 

## **Opinion on financial statements** 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 August 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to Smaller Entities; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. 

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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; 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; or 

- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement 

to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.

The teachers pension scheme (TPS) is a statutory, multi employer, contributory, final salary scheme. The regulations under which TPS operates are the Teachers' Pension Regulations 1997, as amended. 

These regulations apply to teachers in schools and other educational establishments in England and Wales maintained by local educations authorities and also to teachers in many independent and voluntary aided schools and establishments of further and higher education

Employer contributions to the TPS are determined externally at a level set to meet the scheme's ongoing commitments. Deficits and surpluses are not known to the company. The company has no liability for deficits.

In both cases the pension cost shown in the accounts represents the contributions payable by the company.
