MALVERNIAN SOCIETY LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
The Board of Trustees is pleased to present its report together with the audited Financial Statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 July 2021.
The Malvernian Society Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The charity number, company number, present Trustees (being Directors of the Company) and advisors are provided on the Legal and Administrative Information page.
The Trustees are also Directors for the purpose of company law.
Objectives and activities
The charitable company's objects are primarily to:
-
Promote the work, and assist in the carrying on, of education at the Senior School of Malvern College and,
-
Assist, in cases of need, former pupils of Malvern College in further training.
In furtherance of these objectives, income received from capital projects, investments and donations is applied in making grants mainly to Malvern College for Scholarships, Exhibitions, Bursaries/Assisted Places, Sports Awards and items of educational equipment, and to a very minor degree to individual pupils and former pupils undertaking training projects.
On an exceptional basis, the proceeds of asset sales may be granted to Malvern College from Unrestricted Funds for building purposes. The Society aims to assist the College in the short, medium and long term.
In setting out to achieve our aims, the Society carries out two primary activities in close co-operation with the staff at Malvern College:
-
Developing alumni events, communications, and contact plans, which are intended to broaden and deepen the understanding of the benefits of Malvern College UK and its sister schools abroad to previous and existing pupils, and to increase the affinity to Malvern College and the Malvernian Society of Old Malvernians and other constituents.
-
Supporting fundraising activities in support of the College with special focus on alumni and other Friends of Malvern College, such as current parents and parents of former pupils.
Principal funding sources
Income sources include regular and single gifts and legacies, sale of merchandise, rental income and income generated from investments. These are all clearly laid out in the accompanying accounts.
Public Benefit
The Trustees of the Malvernian Society confirm that they have complied with the duty of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the most recent public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The significant activities undertaken to carry out our aims for the public benefit are detailed below.
The principal object of the Malvernian Society is to support Malvern College and its alumni. As such the Society makes a significant annual financial contribution to all the areas of public benefit undertaken by the College, a separate charity. In this regard the Society contributes regularly to Malvern College capital building projects. These facilities are then made available, on occasion, for public use and for the College's outreach services. An example of this is the Science Centre, which has been used to hold 'science exhibition and practical experience' days for local schools. Similarly, the Sports Complex provides much needed indoor sports, fitness and leisure facilities for the local Malvern community. The most recent project, the refurbished Rogers Theatre is also available to local schools and organisations.

MALVERNIAN SOCIETY LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
Public Benefit (continued)
The Society cites the following examples of direct public benefit from its activities:
-
The Trustees of the Society manage its Restricted and Unrestricted Funds, accumulated since the Society's foundation in 1895, to provide Scholarships, Bursaries and Assisted Places at Malvern College for talented boys and girls, who the College decides would benefit considerably from a College education, and whose parents would not otherwise be able to afford the school fees. In this way the Society encourages wider access to the outstanding educational opportunities provided by Malvern College to children from a broad spectrum of society. Information about the use of the Society's Funds is contained in its Annual Report and Accounts.
-
The Society offers its Club Room in the College, at no cost, to local organisations in need of a meeting place for their organising Committees. Examples are the 'Malvern Association for the Visually Impaired' and the Malvern Hills branch of the Fine Arts Society.
-
The Society welcomes Friends and members of the public to attend Malvernian Society lectures at the College.
The Society underwrites and subsidises many events throughout the year and throughout the world for the benefit of Old Malvernians and 'Friends' of Malvern College (see below).
Achievements and performance
During the 2020-21 financial year, Society events were greatly affected by the impact of Covid and associated restrictions. However, the Society, focused on remote OM engagement activities and launched a specialist channel for promoting the achievements of our Under 30s OMs called OM Stories. With the lifting of restrictions in July 2021, the Society was well placed to re-start our events programme with a reunion and benefactors lunch being held early in the new financial year.
In April 2021 we published the 43rd edition of the OM Newsletter, which provided a detailed review of the limited global events and activities encouraged and supported by the Society, as well as providing an update on news from OMs around the world. The OM Newsletter also includes a section on Development, demonstrating to donors the impact of their gifts. Our current fundraising focus is the exciting refurbishment of the Music School, which is due to commence in 2022. We continue to improve our social media presence with successful engagement on Facebook, lnstagram and Twitter. We continue to develop the very career-mentoring platform, OM Connect.
Fundraising
The Malvernian Society is registered with the Fundraising Regulator. There have been no issues of noncompliance nor any complaints in 2020-21. The Society has an Ethical Fundraising Policy and complies with the Fundraising Code 1.2 General Principles e)ii) relating to vulnerable people and with the 'Treating Donors' Fairly' Guidance issued by the Institute of Fundraising. We monitor our fundraising activity by making 'Legitimate Interest Assessment' in terms of GDPR and using, for example Due Diligence intermediaries.

MALVERNIAN SOCIETY LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
Financial review
The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity will continue in existence for the foreseeable future and have, therefore, used the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Income during the year was £1,707,363 (2020 - £1,035,878). Total expenditure was £1,274,511 (2020 - £755,991), of which grants awarded to the College amounted to £951,098 (2020 - £488,844); thereby continuing our support to the College. Furthermore, the gain on investments during the year was £699,201 (2020 - £102,058). This policy of support resulted in net income of £1,132,053 in 2020-21 (2019-20 - £381,945).
In this year, overall funds were increased by a property revaluation, we follow accounting guidelines on present market value, which resulted in an increase of £555,000 (2020 - £75,000). Secondly, there was a return on funds invested of £699,201 (2020 - £102,058). Therefore, total funds increased to £16,252,351 (2020 - £14,565,298).
We have continued to support the College in other areas of fundraising, such as with the Malvernian Society Assisted Places Scheme, to help attract talented students who otherwise would not be able to come to the College. A specific allocation of £2,651,449 (2020 - £2,322,390) is held in a designated fund for this purpose. The Society has been able to use some long-standing restricted funds to support students in taking full advantage of the opportunities offered at Malvern College, such as help towards the cost of sports tours, expeditions and voluntary work overseas. Our financial protocols have continued to improve with the College’s finance team now carrying out the financial operations on behalf of the Society. This has further improved the Society’s ability to identify suitable applicants for certain funds.
In 2021-22 we are planning to review our funds and consolidate where possible, to facilitate a modernisation of the support criteria. In some cases we have found it increasingly challenging to make awards from specific funds due to the onerous, historic criteria. It is intended that this will enable the Society to expand the level of support to a wider demographic.
Total reserves at 31 July 2021 amount to £16,252,351 (2020 - £14,565,298). Of this £281,577 (2020 - £256,488) is permanently endowed, £4,297,551 (2020 - £4,438,212) is restricted in nature, £2,651,449 (2020 - £2,322,390) has been designated by the trustees for specific purposes (as described in the notes to the accounts) leaving £9,021,774 (2020 - £7,548,208) as general reserves. Of the general reserves, after making due allowance for that amount that could only be realised upon the sale of tangible fixed assets or investments, £1,092,756 (2020 - £1,631,414) is freely available for use by the Society.
Reserves Policy
The Society is committed to maintaining a practical working balance of Free Reserves consistent with the operating costs of the Society and our ability to have available funds to support shorter term College requirements. The Reserves Policy allows us to achieve a minimum balance as required by current accounting regulations. The Trustees have determined a policy of maintaining one year of salary and everyday expenses plus £50,000, representing one year of Designated and Committed Funds to the College, as being a sensible level of reserves to keep readily available to maintain ongoing operations without causing interference to our aims The level of reserves required is £340,000.
Following a policy review in 2018, the Trustees have determined that, if required, Unrestricted Funds from bequests would be allocated to cash reserves annually as required in order to maintain the current cash balances required to satisfy the stated policy.

MALVERNIAN SOCIETY LIMITED
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
An analysis of reserves is given in the Financial Review section of this report and at 31 July 2021, free reserves (that is those reserves not represented by restricted funds or tangible fixed assets) were £5,616,923 (this includes designated funds of £2,651,449). The level of free reserves is in excess of the reserves policy of £340,000 and, as a grant making charity, the Society relies on its investments (which are unrestricted in nature) to generate investment income which allows it to fulfil its charitable aims.
Investment Policy
The Society adopts a cautious investment policy in order to preserve funds for both immediate and future use, as directed by donors. Our annual disbursement plan is aimed to support important College initiatives and in future to increasingly support the Assisted Places Scheme. The majority of our funds are placed with the leading London Investment provider Sarasin & Partners, and within their generalised and cautious fund, named 'The Alpha Common Investment Fund'.
The trustees are pleased with the success of the policy adopted. The investments have again increased in value this year with gains of £699,201 (2020 - £102,058) being reported. The dividends and interest received amounted to £181,352 (2020 - £184,359), with investment additions of £405,887 (2020 - £251,834) during the year. These two items account for 78.1% (2020 – 75.0%) of the net incoming resources before the revaluation of tangible fixed assets, and enhances the ability of the Society to pursue the principal objectives.
COVID -19
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, office staff have continued to work remotely from home. Communications between the Operations Director and the trustees continued on a regular and routine basis; digital meetings have enabled more frequent contact than usual about specific issues (such as properties, funds management and grants to the College, as well as operational matters). In brief, governance and trustee oversight were and remain robust and sufficient, unaffected by the pandemic.
As a grant making charity reliant on investments, we have continued to receive sufficient income from the charity's investments, the performance of which at 31 July 2021 was reflected in net revaluation gains which is reassuring for the charity. The charity holds sufficient reserves (see reserves policy), has sufficient cash balances and has not needed to utilise any government support during the pandemic. Additional information is provided in accounting policy 1.2.
Plans for Future Periods
(a) 2021-22
With the continuing impact of COVID-19, the society is planning to re-launch a number of events postponed from 2020-21. These will include informal gatherings, Club dinners and reunions.
We will continue to develop our career-mentoring and professional support programme for the benefit of OMs, and respond to the evolving needs of the constituency.
We will continue to develop our social media platforms to improve alumni engagement, and our websites to improve event registrations, purchase of merchandise and for online giving.
-
The Trustees have agreed the following fundraising priorities for 2021-22: 1. The Malvernian Society Assisted Places Endowment Fund
-
Music School refurbishment
-
Parental Engagement
The ongoing priority is to fund additional Assisted Places to broaden the access to the College.
The College's next large-scale capital project focus is the refurbishment of the Music School, which the Society are hoping to raise financial support for.

Responsibilities of the Trustees
The Trustees carry out regular reviews of Malvernian Society plans and activities through official Trustee meetings held in March, June and November each year. and through informal contact between meetings, usually either in Malvern or London. Since March 2020 Trustees have become used to meeting via Zoom or Teams. It is the aim of Trustees to add comments and direction to the Operations Director and Chairman of Trustees, with a view to ensuring good practice and effective fund management and disbursement, according to our aims and objectives.
Where a subject of particular focus needs attention, such as the Property Portfolio or our Investment oversight, then a sub-committee is typically formed which can spend additional time to research and propose action to the Trustees as a whole.
Responsibilities of the Malvernian Society Staff
The Malvernian Society staff carry out all day-to-day activities according to the priorities for the year, and in close association with the senior personnel of the College, such as the Headmaster, the Chief Operating Officer, the Finance Director, the Director of Marketing & Admissions and the Chairman of College Council.

MALVERNIAN SOCIETY LIMITED
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
The Trustees, who are also the directors of Malvernian Society Limited for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report 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 Society and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charitable Company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Society and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Society and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

MALVERNIAN SOCIETY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MALVERNIAN SOCIETY LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Malvernian Society Limited (the “charitable company”) for the year ended 31 July 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheets, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of 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 charitable company’s affairs as at 31 July 2021, 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; and
-
• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and 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 charitable company 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 Trustees’ 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 charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees 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 Trustees Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

MALVERNIAN SOCIETY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MALVERNIAN SOCIETY LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the directors’ report) has been prepared in accordance with legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the directors’ report).
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the charitable company’s 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' exemptions in preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the Trustees 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 Trustees 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 Trustees are responsible for assessing the group’s and parent charitable company'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 company 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 the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below:
Our assessment focussed on key laws and regulations the charitable company has to comply with and areas of the financial statements we assessed as being more susceptible to misstatement. These key laws and regulations included
9
MALVERNIAN SOCIETY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MALVERNIAN SOCIETY
LIMITED (CONTINUED)
but were not limited to compliance with the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, Trustee Act 2000, Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016, taxation legislation, data protection and employment legislation.
We are not responsible for preventing irregularities. Our approach to detecting irregularities included, but was not limited to, the following:
-
obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charitable company and how the charitable company is complying with that framework, including agreement of financial statement disclosures to underlying documentation and other evidence;
-
obtaining an understanding of the charitable company’s control environment and how the charitable company has applied relevant control procedures, through discussions with Trustees and other management and by performing walkthrough testing over key areas;
-
obtaining an understanding of the charitable company’s risk assessment process, including the risk of fraud;
-
reviewing meeting minutes of those charged with governance throughout the year; and
-
performing audit testing to address the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
Whilst considering how our audit work addressed the detection of irregularities, we also considered the likelihood of detection based on our approach. Irregularities arising from fraud are inherently more difficult to detect than those arising from error.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the Financial Reporting Council’s (“FRC’s”) website at: hiips://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 company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006.

MALVERNIAN SOCIETY LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
1 Accounting policies
Company information
Malvernian Society Limited, company number 00213672, is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The company is registered in England and its registered office is Malvernian Society, Malvern College, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14 3DF.
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Society's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The Society is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Society. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Society has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
As a result of government restrictions and medical guidelines our events programme (i.e. expenses) was substantially curtailed. At the same time, investment income has been and continues to be rather robust. Both investment valuations and cash balances continue to be monitored, have performed well during the pandemic and are deemed sufficient. The charity has taken to remote methods of working, and has not utilised any government support during the pandemic.
Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects of the Society at the discretion of the Trustees.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as specified by the donors.
Endowment funds are to be held as capital and the income generated from them to be used for purposes as specified by the donors.
Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the Society is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Society has been notified of the donation unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Incoming resources except donations and legacies, are included on a receivable basis, ie they are recognised in the period in which they are receivable.
Income from listed investments are included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the income being payable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2021
1 Accounting policies (continued)
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at valuation.
Freehold land and buildings are revalued to market value annually and any revaluation surplus or deficit is recognised in the statement of financial activities
Donated assets classified as collectables are held at valuation. The value is reviewed on an annual basis. As a consequence of the regular revaluation policy, depreciation is not charged on tangible fixed assets.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
Investments
Fixed asset investments are re-measured to market value at each Balance Sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the statement of financial activities for the period.
Impairment of fixed assets
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fiows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/ (expenditure for the year, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises purchase price and net realisable value is the estimated selling price.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Financial instruments
The Society has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Society's balance sheet when the Society becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade debtors, other debtors, accrued income and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade creditors, other creditors and accruals are initially recognised at transaction price. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Society's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Pension costs
The Society makes payments to a pension schemes operated by Malvern college with fixed contributions being paid into these schemes by the society. Once the payments have been made the society has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Activities when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Society in independently administered funds.
2 Critical accounting estimate and judgements
In the application of the Society's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The freehold land and buildings were valued at £6,050,000, by Colin Townsend MRICS of John Goodwin, at 31 July 2021. The Society has adopted the policy of revaluing its freehold land and buildings in accordance with current Financial Reporting Standards.
At 31 July 2021, had the revalued assets been carried at historic cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, their carrying amount would have been approximately £521,719 (2020 - £521,719).
In 2010 Timothy Straker donated the Wisden's Almanac and Cabinet which is shown under collectables. The Trustees have assessed the collection and in their opinion the worth of the collection remains unchanged at £6,300 at the balance sheet date.

The Gwynne-Jones Exhibition was set up in 1919 to fund awards to former pupils of Malvern College who have gone to the universities of Oxford, Cambridge or to the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich. A preference was made for the intellectual qualifications of the candidate, but also a preference for a No. 2 boy.

From 2021 the award will be available to OMs from Malvern College UK or its sister schools abroad.
The Wright Ingle Exhibition was set up in 1918, to give non-recurring grants to candidates for the purpose of covering initial expenses at Brasenose College, Oxford, or Pembroke College, Cambridge.

Observatory: The College already has a good telescope; however, because it has no permanent 'home', it needs setting up, i.e. aligning with the stars and dismantling every time it is used. As this takes a good hour at the start and end of a session, it is used only infrequently. The College has decided to house the telescope within a refurbished observatory, so it will be set up permanently and left in place, allowing our pupils and staff to use it much more frequently. Astronomy in school is introduced in the Foundation Year. II is part of the IGCSE syllabus for the Hundred as well as an option in the IB syllabus.
Cricket Nets: Malvern College has a distinguished record in cricket providing county and national teams with quality players since the early years of the 20th century. In recent years, Malvern cricket has seen the benefits of a partnership with Worcestershire County Cricket Club whereby the county coaches seek to draw talented young cricketers into their academy, and the growth of girls' cricket has further enriched Malvern's reputation as a crucible of cricketing talent. The College has commissioned ELS to provide four new practice nets and Durantcricket to install their industry-leading 'Dream Netting System' replacing the temporary nets with 10 retractable nets.
