## **Coventry School Foundation** 

**Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees (Governors) Coventry School Foundation (** _**continued)**_ 

**Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Coventry Schools Foundation for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including FRS 102 ‘‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland”. 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 August 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 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 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 

## **Other information** 

The trustees are responsible for the 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.  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. 

**16** 



## **Coventry School Foundation** 

## **Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees (Governors)** 

**Coventry School Foundation (** _**continued)**_ 

## **Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or 

- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; 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 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. 

## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 1443 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. 

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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

**17** 



## **Coventry School Foundation** 

**Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees (Governors) Coventry School Foundation (** _**continued)**_ 

**Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to both the charitable company itself and the sector in which it operates. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience and through discussion with the trustees and other management. The most significant were identified as the Charities Act 2011 and Charities SORP (FRS102). 

We considered the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statements. Our audit procedures included: 

- making enquires of management as to where they consider there to be a susceptibility to fraud and whether they have any knowledge or suspicion of fraud; 

- obtaining an understanding of the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; 

- assessing the design effectiveness of the controls in place to prevent and detect fraud; 

- assessing the risk of management override including identifying and testing journal entries; 

- challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates. 

Whilst our audit did not identify any significant matters relating to the detection of irregularities including fraud, and despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK), there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit, and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularity would likely involve collusion, forgery, intentional misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. 

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 Report of the Independent Auditors. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **Coventry School Foundation** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

**for the Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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 2019)'; Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention modified to include certain items at fair value. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Fees and similar income** 

Fees receivable and charges for services and use of premises are accounted for in the period in which the service is provided. Fees receivable are stated after deducting allowances, scholarships and other remissions granted by the school, but include contributions received from Restricted Funds for Scholarships, Bursaries and other grants. 

## **Donations and legacies** 

Donations received for the general purposes of the Foundation, together with the associated income tax recoveries, are credited to "other unrestricted funds", to distinguish them from school income. Donations subject to specific wishes of the donors are credited to relevant restricted funds, or to endowed funds where the amount is required to be held as permanent capital. 

For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. 

## **Investment income** 

Investment income, including associated income tax recoveries, is recognised when receivable. 

## **Other trading activities** 

Income from trading activities includes income earned from the school shop and the hire of facilities. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. 

## **Grant income** 

Income received through grants is recognised from the point in which the charity has entitlement to the funds, grant conditions have been fully met and it is probable that the income will be received. 

## **Volunteers** 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report.

## **Coventry School Foundation** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

**for the Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings: 

- Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with the management of the Charity's investments. 

- - Expenditure on charitable activities includes costs incurred directly in the fulfilment of the Charity's activity (the advancement of education); and 

- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. 

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, and payroll costs. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. 

The analysis of these costs is included in note 7. 

## **Fund accounting** 

## **Endowment funds** 

The permanent endowment is as described in the Trust Deed. 

The endowment capital may not be expended other than for the maintenance or enhancement of the endowment. Since 1 September 2016 the endowments have been managed on a total return basis as set out in note 13. 

## **Restricted funds** 

Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes laid down by the donor. Expenditure for those purposes is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of overheads and support costs. 

## **Unrestricted funds** 

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for expenditure on the general objectives of the Charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been designated for specific purposes by the Trustees. 

## **School Land and Buildings and Equipment** 

## **Buildings** 

At 31 August 2006, under the requirements of the previous Charity SORP (2005), the Charity's land and buildings were revalued in order that all could be recognised in the accounts. Previously, certain historic land and buildings of the Charity had not been reflected in the balance sheet. Following this valuation exercise, all were included in the accounts at existing use valuation and are depreciated at rates of between 2% and 5% straight line. Subsequent additions to buildings are included at historic cost and also depreciated at rates of between 2% and 5% straight line. No change in accounting treatment has been necessary on transition to SORP (FRS102). 

## **Equipment** 

Project related costs amounting to less than £3,000 and individual items costing less than £1,000 are written off as an expense as incurred. 

## **Depreciation** 

Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost less estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets held for charity use other than land by equal annual instalments over their expected useful lives. The periods generally applicable are: 

Plant and machinery 4 years Fixtures, fittings and equipment 5 years Computer equipment 3 years Motor vehicles 4 years Buildings 20 - 50 years

## **Coventry School Foundation** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

**for the Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Investments** 

Assets held for investment purposes measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Traded securities are valued at the mid-point quotation in the Stock Exchange Daily List. 

Changes in fair value recognised in net gains/losses in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **Defined benefit schemes** 

The Charity participates in a multi-employer pension scheme, the Government's Teachers Pension Defined Benefits Scheme for the majority of its teaching staff. 

This pension liability is the responsibility of the Teachers Pension Defined Benefits Scheme. As a result it is not possible to identify the assets and liabilities of the scheme that are attributable to the Charity. Accordingly under SORP 2019 (FRS 102), the scheme is accounted for as if it were a defined contributions scheme. 

## **Contributions to pension funds** 

## **Defined contribution schemes** 

The pension costs charged to the Statement of Financial Activities represent the amount of the contributions payable to the schemes in respect of the accounting period. 

## **Termination benefits** 

Termination benefits are monies paid when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The company recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either: terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. 

## **Leased assets** 

Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over their expected useful lives. The interest element of leasing payments represents a constant proportion of the capital balance outstanding and is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

All other leases are regarded as operating leases and the payments made under them are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease term. 

## **Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year** 

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure. 

## **Provisions** 

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. 

## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include: 

## Bad debt provision 

A bad debt provision is recognised when the likelihood of recovering the debt has diminished and appears improbable. The level of provision will be based on any current repayment plan entered into and which is being adhered to by the debtor, together with an estimate of the likelihood of the amounts due being fully recovered. 

## Depreciation 

The depreciation of tangible fixed assets is calculated based on estimates of the useful lives of each category of asset. The trustees review the period and method of depreciation when events and circumstances indicate that the useful economic life may have changed since the last reporting date.

## **13 Endowment Funds** 

With effect from 1 September 2016 the charity has adopted a total return basis for maintaining the endowments. As at that date it was determined that the endowment comprised the Permanent Endowment and the Endowment Replacement. 

At 1 September 2016 it was determined that the endowment comprised a capital amount referred to as the Trust for Investment below, derived from the value of endowment investment property and other investments at 31 August 2006. 

The Total Return is determined as the difference between the Trust for Investment and the current fair value of the underlying assets. 

Under the total return approach, a value of up to the value of the total return may be applied to fund the unrestricted net expenditure of the charity. The trustees budgeted at the start of the year to apply 5% of the Permanent Endowment in this way. On 23 January 2018 the Charity Commission agreed to the cancellation of the Recoupment orders dated 20 April 1998 and 22 May 1998. The total return applied in the year has been calculated on the Endowment Fund net of the cancelled recoupment orders. As the value of the underlying assets in the Endowment fund have increased by less than this amount the unapplied total return has decreased accordingly.

The Permanent Endowment refers to the original endowment to provide education. 

During 2019 a temporary loan of £2,000,000 was made to cover the costs for The Grange refurbishment. £1,000,000 was repaid in the previous year, with the remaining £1,000,000 being recouped over a period of 10 years in line with the recoupment order issued by the Charity Commission on 29 June 2020. In line with this £100,000 has been repaid during the current year. This is shown above as Endowment Replacement.

## **Coventry School Foundation** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **for the Year Ended 31 August 2022** 

## **18 Pensions** 

## **Defined benefit scheme** 

The Charity operates a defined benefit pension scheme for the benefit of certain employees. The assets of the scheme are administered by trustees in funds independent from those of the Charity. 

## **Teachers' Pension Scheme** 

The Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) is a statutory, contributory, defined benefit scheme, governed by the Teachers' Pension Scheme Regulations 2014. All teachers have the option to opt-out of the TPS following enrolment. 

The TPS is an unfunded scheme to which both the member and employer makes contributions, as a percentage of salary - these contributions are credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament. 

## **Valuation of the teachers' pension scheme** 

The Government Actuary, using normal actuarial principles, conducts a formal actuarial review of the TPS in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and Employer Cost Cap) Directions 2014 published by HM Treasury. The aim of the review is to specify the level of future contributions. Actuarial scheme valuations are dependent on assumptions about the value of future costs, design of benefits and many other factors. The latest actuarial valuation of the TPS was carried out as at 31 March 2016 and in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations and Employer Cost Cap) Directions 2014. The valuation report was published by the Department for Education on 5 March 2019. The key elements of the valuation are: 

- employer contribution rates set at 23.68% of pensionable pay (including a 0.08% administration levy); 

- total scheme liabilities (pensions currently in payment and the estimated cost of future benefits) for service to the effective date of £218,100 million and notional assets (estimated future contributions together with the notional investments held at the valuation date) of £196,100 million, giving a notional past service deficit of £22,000 million; 

- the SCAPE rate, set by HMT, is used to determine the notional investment return. The current SCAPE rate is 2.4% above the rate of CPI. assumed real rate of return is 2.4% in excess of prices and 2% in excess of earnings. The rate of real earnings growth is assumed to be 2.2%. The assumed nominal rate of return including earnings growth is 4.45%. 

The next valuation result is due to be implemented from 1 April 2024. 

The employers pension costs paid to TPS in the period amounted to £2.184m (2021: £2.189m). 

A copy of the valuation report and supporting documentation is on the Teachers' Pensions website. 

Under the definitions set out in FRS 102, the TPS is an unfunded multi-employer pension scheme. The Charity has accounted for its contributions to the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. The Charity has set out above the information available on the scheme. 

## **Defined contribution scheme** 

The Charity also operates a defined contribution "money purchase" scheme for the benefit of certain employees. The assets of the scheme are administered by trustees in funds independent from those of the Charity.
