TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts
Administration throughout the period came under the auspices of the incumbent Director of Development, OA Jackson-Hutt (OAJ-H) and Chairman, JDC Pitt (JDCP).
Campaign 2020 – 2030 formally launched on 01.08.20, with the initial focus of serving the School’s aspiration to increase the number of young people attending the School who would be able to take full advantage of the unique opportunity a Shrewsbury education can provide, were it not for their financial circumstances. The vehicle used to achieve this aim remains: The Means Tested Bursaries Fund.
Our definition of ‘Transformative Means Tested Bursaries’ is those which enable young people requiring 75% – 110% remission of fees to attend the School.
Fundraising continues to form a vital part of the School’s capacity to deliver its mission, influencing positively a number of the School’s strategic objectives to 2030. Our ten-year, global Advancement strategy is an ambitious campaign, with a focus of supporting Means Tested Bursaries, whilst also welcoming additional projects alongside each year.
We are progressing with confidence toward the School’s commitment to meet its strategic objective of increasing the number of Transformative Means Tested Bursary recipients to a target of 40 pupils annually by 2030. Since the Campaign began in 2020, we have already achieved over 50% of this target, with 23 pupils attending the School this year who are recipients of Transformative Means Tested Bursaries.
The newly devised strategy for The 1552 Legacy Society within the 10 year strategic plan for Development to 2030 has been pursued to good effect, and its new methods of approach, cultivation and solicitation have now secured a range of new and additional quantified legacy pledges adding over £3m to the quantified legacy pledge sum carried in-year.
Following the successful implementation of the cloud-based MIS Software platform, the dynamic training programme for Development Office staff and Trustees has been maintained, with the user group continuing to engage with online, in person, and certificated training courses, developing skills and enhancing expertise throughout the Development Office. Further efficiencies have been realised through the implementation of new and enhanced digital giving methods and e-communication techniques which are providing high-quality digital outreach functionality, and quantitative results, with granular tracking and reporting.
Working in close collaboration with the Finance Office, our iterative approach to fund rationalisation and consolidation has continued. The successful implementation of The Means Tested Bursary Fund, as an amalgamative successor to the previous House Foundation Awards Funds, and the Headmaster’s Bursary Fund – consolidating and increasing the flexibility and size of the fund, whilst providing administrative efficiencies of management accounting, reporting, and marketing continues to yield efficiencies and results.
The Shrewsbury School Foundation Annual Report & Donor Roll 2021 - 2022 publication was produced both in two digital and one print matter formats in December 2022 and has been distributed globally. This year, the digital publication successfully reached 8250 of its 8530 intended recipients – a reach rate of 97%, and the print matter publication successfully reached 8487 of its 8523 intended recipients – a strike rate of 99.6%, and an improvement on our performance in the previous year in this respect (99.04%). This annual exercise remains valuable in testing the integrity of our data and processes.
The Development Office continued to respond flexibly to the impact of restrictions associated with the global pandemic. The most pronounced impediment was on travel, limiting the frequency and depth of engagement which was possible at times, locally, nationally, and internationally. Wherever possible, digital alternative engagement activities have been used: their efficacy in supplementary stewardship, if not solicitations, is proven.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
Continuing engagement took place with the established industry professional associations with which memberships are held: The Institute of Development Professionals in Education (IDPE) and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), The Institute of Fundraising (IoF) and the Fundraising Regulator. Additional professional development engagement took place during the period in partnership with Wilsons Solicitors LLP to keep up to date with legislative developments pertinent in the sector.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit:
In setting such aims, objectives, and in planning activities, the Trustees gave careful consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Policy on grant making
The Trustees' policy is primarily to support Shrewsbury School, and pupils who attend the School.
During the year total grants of £638,663 (2021: £664,129) were made, to fund specific bursaries, scholarships, capital projects and prizes for pupils attending Shrewsbury School.
Monies raised for specific purposes, as directed by the donors, are held in restricted reserves until either the project commences or a suitable recipient is identified. The Trustees have discretion to use unrestricted donations, as they see fit, provided the use falls within the objects of the Charity.
Policy on social investment including programme-related investment:
The social investment and programme-related investment activity of Shrewsbury School is supported, directly, by Shrewsbury School Foundation.
Contribution made by volunteers
In the period, the impact of COVID-19 has limited the charity’s ability to benefit from volunteers, although for where this has been possible their contributions are recognised and thanked here.

Statement on the impact of COVID-19
In the period, COVID-19 had a present but abating impact on operations. Where possible opportunities to undertake discovery, cultivation or solicitation meetings in person were adopted, and fundraising events and activities were held.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held
Through its fundraising document, the Foundation has clearly established how funds are to be used in future.
Unless specifically stated, donations to the Foundation are allocated to Unrestricted Funds to be used at the discretion of the Trustees in providing support to Shrewsbury School.
Donations for specific use will be designated to either Restricted Funds or Endowment Funds and used in the manner prescribed.
The Trustees believe that the Foundation has a robust reserves policy that will enable it to support Shrewsbury School in an effective manner in the years to come.
Amount of reserves held
At the year end the Foundation's free reserves stood at £1,605,805 (2021: £1,425,986).
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. COVID-19 impacted on the donations that the Foundation has received and the future grants that can be made to Shrewsbury School. The Trustees make grants only when there are cash resources available. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)
In the period, the charity’s principal sources of funds are the proceeds of fundraising, with secondary sources of funds through a managed investments portfolio, with tertiary sources of funds from interest accrued on balances and investments.
Fundraising
The Foundation undertook a wide range of fundraising activities during the year, aimed at meeting its objectives. Some of the activities undertaken were as follows:
-
Prospect identification research, considering broadly individuals and groups who may be interested in engaging with, and supporting, the work of the Development Office.
-
Qualification research, selecting and taking forward individuals and groups who may be interested in engaging with, and supporting, the work of the Development Office.
-
Discovery meetings, both virtual and in person, inviting people to engage with the work of the Development Office.
-
Cultivation activities, through a wide range of engagement.
-
Solicitation activities, inviting people to become, renew, or increase their philanthropic commitment to the School through the Foundation.
-
Stewardship activities, thanking, honouring, and recognising those who have given historically, or have made or renewed commitments to current or future gifts / pledges.
All of the Foundation's fundraising activities are specifically targeted and, in all cases, potential donors were informed that they would be contacted prior to any contact being made, such that they could de-request or change their contact preferences.

SHREWSBURY SCHOOL FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
The Development Office and its staff are members of the Institute of Development Professionals in Education and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education. Staff regularly attend both virtual and in person conferences locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally designed to promote best practice in the field of fundraising.
ln the period, there have not been any breaches or failures to comply with fundraising regulatory standards of any regulatory body governing fundraising protocols. In the period, there have not been any formal complaints against the Foundation.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted
The Trustees have wide powers of investment to invest in property and securities, including stocks and shares.
The Trustees review on a regular basis the investment profile of the Foundation, the risks and returns achieved and likely future performance. The current policy is to produce a regular and growing income stream, together with capital growth.
The policy of the Foundation with regard to investments is to ensure that they produce a regular and growing income stream, together with capital growth. During the year the Foundation undertook a review of investment managers, and as a result appointed Sarasin & Partners to replace Rathbone Investment Managers, early in 2021. As a result of this decision the investment held by Rathbones were sold, and the proceeds reinvested in the Sarasin Endowments Fund Class A Income Fund, a global multi-asset portfolio with an integrated socially responsible investment policy. The transfer of funds took several months. The fund seeks to provide growth (in terms of investment value and growth) of 4% per year more than the CPI over a rolling five-year period. The Foundation’s investments decreased in capital value by 5% over the previous year.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity
The Trustees are responsible for the management of risk faced by the Foundation. Trustees review annually the Foundation's risk management process, to ensure risks are identified, assessed and controls established.
The key controls used and being developed by the Foundation include:
-
Formal agendas and papers where appropriate for all Trustee meetings, with detailed minutes taken.
-
Comprehensive budgeting and management accounting.
-
Established organisational management structure and lines of reporting.
-
Clear authorisation and approval levels for payments.
-
The retention of professional administrative staff, including external consultants and advisers.
The Trustees are satisfied that the major risks have been identified and managed where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.
The ability and inclination of donors to maintain or increase their level of support for the Foundation's objectives is a principal risk along with the ability of the Foundation to attract new donors. Economic and personal factors can impact on the level of donations that the Foundation may receive. The Foundation maintains close contact with major donors, researches potential new donors and runs a full spectrum of discovery activity to interact with potential new donors.
Additionally, there is an inherent risk in the Foundation’s investment portfolio in terms of its exposure and return. Members of the Investment Committee monitor the performance of the investments with retained advisers.
The Foundation has also considered non-financial risks and, in particular, the way in which the Foundation carries out its fundraising activities. The Foundation has in place a series of protocols which ensure that any fundraising activities are carried out in accordance with best practice.

Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees 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).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SHREWSBURY SCHOOL FOUNDATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Shrewsbury School Foundation (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, 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).
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 July 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources 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 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 charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve 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.

SHREWSBURY SCHOOL FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SHREWSBURY SCHOOL FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the Trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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 charity'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 charity 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 section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 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.
Page 12
SHREWSBURY SCHOOL FOUNDATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SHREWSBURY SCHOOL FOUNDATION (CONTINUED)
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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's report.
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011, together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charity’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of legacy income, and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management, and the Trustees about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, designing audit procedures over legacy income, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing noncompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

Use of our report

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
1. General information
The Foundation is constituted under a Trust Deed dated 18 May 1965 and is a registered charity in England and Wales (Charity Number 528415). The Foundation's registered office and primary place of business is Shrewsbury School, The Schools, Shrewsbury, SY3 7BA.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Shrewsbury School Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Going concern
The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Foundation has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertainties over the charity's financial viability. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements as outlined in the Trustees' Responsibilities on page 9.
2.3 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds and Endowment funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the charity, can be reliably measured.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
2.5 Expenditure
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.
Liabilities are recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Foundation to the expenditure.
Provided that, and so long as, the Foundation exercises and continues to exercise its charitable objects in furtherance of the objects (the “Shrewsbury School Charitable Objects”) set out in the Foundation Trust Deed, then Shrewsbury School will pay the employment, administrative and other costs and expenses of the Foundation in furthering the Shrewsbury School Charitable Objects.
2.6 Investments
Investments are stated at market value.
Realised gains and losses on investments, calculated as the difference between the sale proceeds and their market value at the start of the period, or subsequent cost, are credited or charged to the SOFA in the period of gain or loss.
Unrealised gains and losses representing the movement in market values during the period are credited or charged to the SOFA in the period of gain or loss.
2.7 Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised costs using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Page 19
SHREWSBURY SCHOOL FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.8 Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
2.9 Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value at the Balance Sheet date.
2.10 Concessionary loans
The loan due from Shrewsbury School is considered to meet the criteria of a concessionary loan under FRS102. The loan has been shown at face value.
3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment
In the application of the accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affected current and future periods.
In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
