REPORT (INCLUDING STRATEGIC REPORTI Year ended 31 August 2021 STIIATEGIC REPORT ICONTINUEDI PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The governors ¢onsKler the Current pditieal and economic Iufbulence, particularty that caused by Covid-19, the affordability of fees by parents acr05S the independent sector. price competition from tival independent schools, and the possible impact on pupil numbers as state schools convert io academy 51alus, lo be among the principal risks and uncertainties facing the schools. Nots¥rthstanding the polrtical, ecOrK)M and competitive situation, demand for places remains high in a number of year groups. The safeguarding of pupils and staff, and potential repulalional damage in the unlikety event of a high profile legal action alleging lack of due care over pupils as Vulnerab beneficiaries, is always a significant area for risk management in the schools. The governo. focus on mibgating risks in thi5 area remains paramount through the provisKJn of suitable training to stsff and pupils. underpinned by the implementation of appropriate polrcies and procedures. Other significant risks facing the schools are the increasing competition for h¢gh-quality tehIng and support staff and f(s effed on succession planning. data protection and potential for business intemjption as a resutt of a data failure, and heatth and safety risks ranging from fire and infrastructure to personal rFsks {mosl notably when away fiom the campus on trips and expeditKJns). The governors are sisffied that these and other risks and un(£rtainties have been mitigated wherevef possible through the detailed risk managernenl prLKesse5 estsblished for the schools. This includes maintaining effective internal controls, risk regi51er5. incident reporting and monitoring systems, poIleS and procedures and insurance coverwhere appropriate. It is acknowledged that 5yStern5 can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance th81 major risks have been adequatety managed. Covid-19 pandemic The outbreak of Covid-19 developed into a global pandemtc during 2020 and continued through the year. The governors are naturally concemed about Ihe impaci this has had and will continue lo have on the schcM)Is' pupils, parents. staff and SupplrS. and continue to assess whal those impacts rnht be. The schools are well placed in lemis of business ntinuIty. through the use of te¢hnobgy to deliver remote leaming solutions to ils pupils. the provision of financial assBlance lo parents adversety impacied by the economtc Ictkdown, and actions taken by the schools lo enable stsff to wor safely on-sile or from home. Following the government announcernenl that schools should close their premises lo most chiklren in January and February 2021, the schools furfoughed a number of members of staff (enabling the schooL8 to access the Coronawrus Job Retention Scheme funding grant) and suspended any non*ssenlial expendrture. There is elearty and underslandabW eonlinued uncertainty around the impact of the virus on the gbbal economy and the resulting impact on the schools. community. This includes the impact on families whose income has been affected by the virus and the effect on overseas pupils who are still reslricled from travelling belween the UK and home. The governors are confident Ihat the parent charrtable company and group will continue lo operate through the uncertain times due to the slrong cash posilion al the stsrt of the pandern. access to Govemmenl supported lending, effective use of working capital Iwhich underpins the strength of the balance sheell, alongside continued support from the schools. existing parent brxjy. and ongoing demand for plaees from prospective parents. 18

Whilst considering how our audit work addressed Ihe detection of irregularil*s. we a150 considered the likelihood of detection of fraud based on our approach. Irregular(($ arising from fraud are inherently more difficuli to delect Ihan those arising from error_ Because of the inherent lim(t8lions of an audit, there is a risk thatwewill not detect all irregularilie5, including those leading lo a material misslalemenl in the financial statemenls or non-¢omplian¢e wrth regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance wrth a law or wulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial stalemenls, as we will be less likety to be¢LYne aware of instances of non•compliance.
