THE SMITH FOUNDATION TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT (CONTINUED) For the year ended 31 March 2024 Ml$torical Context The Smith Foundation orwJln3tes frorn 3 Twst establlshed on the 16th of AUg￿t 1916 by William Smith. The main purpu5e of that Trust was to establtsh a Horne for orphan girfs. This was thong￿ to a home for ￿y5 and girf5 under a scherne of 1923 just after William died in 1922. The bulk of his estste had LEen inlended for hi5 cousin s adopted son Wllllarn Henry Smith but unhappily he was killed in the 1914-18 war SD this rnoney too was passed to the Trust. The horne5 contlnued throvgh the 1920's, J930's attd through the 1939-45 war. During the war they took In chlldren frorn The Sailors. Orphan Horne in Hull and also the school was used as a transit horne for children from Sheffield. In 1951 a scheme changed the name of tkE Trust to The Smlth Hornes. Thls came aboutfollowlng an approach by the Ministry of Education after the enacbment of the 1948 Children's Act. The revised scheme allowed the continuance of the Homes for a limited time but added an authority for the Tnjstees to make grants to special schools and to establish speclal schrds of thdr own. Grants were made to Breckenborough and Chalgley School Holly 8ank House was purchased by the Trust to convert into a Speclal Schwl for Physically disabled children. Th￿ School wa5 opened in 1953 and was run by the Trust until 1998 when It handed over to the newly formed Holly Bank TrL%&t By the end of 1959 the 185t of the chlldren left the Homes and by then plans were In hand to opEn a further residential speclal School In the buildings. The Wllllarn Henry Stnith School Op￿ed In September 1961 for 48 boys. In December of the following year the Charity Comrnission made a schetne that changed the name of the Trust to The Smith Foundat￿On. Over the next 30 years the schod developed its educalion and soclal provlslon becoming recognised as a spethalist school for boys experiencing social, emotional and mental health difficultles, becornlng very rnuch a part of the natlonal spectrum of Special needs provision. During thls period the Twstees with the help of the ￿ provlded new Science bulldingi new kltchen and then portable classrwm5 and a Gymnasium. In the early 1990,5 it became clear that the residential accommodation needed to be repLaced and the Trustees provided tjvo new ￿￿Se$ using some of their capitsl and money rdi5ed from Trusts. In 1994 the Trustees commlssloned a feaslblllty 5bJdy that Iderntrfied a plan to maximlse the use of existing bulldlngs through conv£rsion &nd refurbishment to create ne¥y tsaching facllitie5 to albw the school to tneet the ch3llenges of the nev4 millennium. Since that time each summer there has been bullding vwrk to I￿￿11 the plan as money has allowed. This has seen the whole slte transformed wSth derelirt bulldlngs becomlng teaching and communal faalitles, slngle en-suite bedrooms for all the trh)ys and recreatlon Improvements In the houses on the Qre side of the school. On the Educatlon slde all the origlnal ternporary classroorns have been rebullt to provide permanent accommodation,. an IT suite, Assembly Hall, Desl9n and TeChnol￿Y Roorns, Art Roorn, mU￿C Room, Sport5 Hall, Ufe Sknlls Kitchen and a new therapy sulte have been provided. There has ako been onslte expansSon In recent years Induding the addition of a new buildlng for Commlssloned Services in 2019 and in 2020, which will be used as a learning space for new students from SeptenTr￿r 2023. The Foundation also purchè5ed a former B&B which has L￿eTh devdop2d and has been used as a 52.week children home from late 2023, known as Eththroyd House. In 2021 the Tm5tees purchèsed a further property offsite whith was a former day nursery in Elland (Willow) which has been operatlry as a College slnce September 2023. Last financlal year work was also completed on convethng Lowry house, from re5identlal accomodation to a state of the art therapy bullding. Houses 5 and 6 weTe also converted during surnmer 2022 into a 4 bedroDmed residential provlsion. In 2023 Corbett classroom was created, a dedlcated tenth leamlng group specialising In Communlcation and Interaction 3nd Sensory Proce$51ng and we opened New Beglnnings In the buikling previously known as Sycamore. This nurturing, needs-led space provides Students with the individuallsed 5UPPOrt and structure they require to ensure a smooth transition Into school. In addition to our College buSldln9 (Willow) we have now seojred the rental of the building next to it (Fordsall House) to enable the expansion of our college offer.

The financial reportirig frarnework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Repor￿ng Standard 102.. The Financial Reporting Stsndard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accountlng practi￿). In our opinion, the financial statements: give a true and fair view of the state of the Charty's affaSrs as at 31 March 2024 and of its Income and expenditure for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in acCOr(lan￿ with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Prathce; have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Char((ies Art 2011. Basis for opinion We condvctsd our aud￿ in accordance with International Stsndards on Audity"ng (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditc>rfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial ststements settion of our report. We are independent of the Charty in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, includlng the FRCS Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical resty)n5ibilities In accordantr with these requirements. We believe that the audit eviden￿ we have obtsined is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our oplnion. Conclusions relating to golng concern In auditing the financlal Statements, we have concluded that the tru5tees' use of the going cOn￿M basis of accounting in the preparation of the finana31 statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncethinties relating tt> events or conditions that, individLJally or collecknvely, may cast signiflcant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going contern for a period of at least ￿e1ve rnonths from when the financial statements are authorised for i55ue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilldes of the trustee5 with respect to golng concern are descrfbed in the relevant sections of this report. Other information The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information CDmprlses the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statemellts does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of a55urance conclusion thereon. In connecbon wth our aud￿ of the financial statements, our ￿spOnSIbIl￿ is to read the other information an¢J, in doing so, conslder whether the other information is materially inconsistent w￿h the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or othetwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material mi5Statements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material rnisstatement of the other informats'on. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misSt3tement of thls 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 exceptlon We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require u5 to report to you if, in our opinlon.. the information given In the trustee5' report is inconsistent in any material respert with the finanoal staternents; or suffioent accounting records have not been kept,. or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records,. or we have ntst received all the inforrnation and explanations we requlre for gur audit. THE SMThH FOUNDATEON INDEPENDENT AUDThOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SMITH FOUNDATION Responslbilities of the trustees As explained more fully in the statement of the trustees responsibilities set out on page 6, the trustees are responsible for the preparaty.on of the financial statements and for being satisfled that they give a true and fair view, alld for such intemal control as they determine is nece￿ary to enable the preparation of finanoal statements that are free from matellal misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity's ability tr) ctsntinue as a going COn￿rn, disclosing, as applicable, rnatters related to going con￿rn and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the members of the executive committee e￿her intend to liquidate the Charty or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financral ststements We have been appointed 35 auditor under sertion 144 of the Charities Att 2011 and report In accordan￿ with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effett thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurdnce about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstaternent, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assuran￿ is a high level of assurantr, but is not a guarantse that an audit condurted in accordance with 15A5 IUKI will always detett a material mlsstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are Considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could ￿aSOnablY be expetted to influence the economic deosk)ns of users taken on the basls of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instsnces of non-complian￿ with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibil￿les, outlined èbove, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, induding fraLid. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detsiled below. We identify and a￿esS the ris￿ of materlal misstrtement of the financial ststements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to thtrse rlsks, including obtsining audit evldence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Extent to whlch the audit wa5 considered capable of deterting Irregularitles, induding fraud The extent to which the audit is capable of detecting irregularib"es, induding fraud, 15 affected by the inherent difficulties in detecting irregularities, the effeLtiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, b.ming and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregular￿e5 resulting from fraud usually are inherently more difficult to detert than irregularities that result from error. In ￿entifyIng and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularitie5, Indudlng fraud and non- Complian￿ with laws and regulations, we considered.. the natu￿ of the industry and sector, control environment and bLJsiness perforrnan￿ including the charity's remuneratlon policies. the resu￿ of our enquiries of management abouttheir own identy"fication and assessment of the risks or irregularities,. any matters we identified having reviewed the charity's procedures relating to identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulation5 and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance, detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have any thowledge of any aciual, suspetted or alleged fraud and the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-complian￿ with laws and regulations. We also considered the matters discussed among the udit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the finanaal statements and any ptstential indicators of fraud. We a55essed the effertiveness of the internal control environment for mlnimising the incidence5 of Irregularities and conside￿d the opportunities and in￿ntiveS that may exist wrfchin the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest ￿tentIal for irregularities including fraud to be In the following areas.. the completeness of incoTlle, the operation and accounting for cut off around the year end date and the ability of management to override controls. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a dirett effect on the determination of material arnounts in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included the Charities Act 2011, a5 amended by the Charitie5 Act 2022. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulation5 that do not have a dirett effect on the financial statements but ¢C>mplIan￿ with which may be fundamental to the tharity's ability to operate to avoid a material penalty. THE SMITH FOUNDATION INDEPENDENT AUDrroR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SMITH FOUNDATION Audit response to risks Identified We tested the operation of the sales system by checknng that a sample of pupils resulted in the recogn￿0￿ of cOrr￿pOndIng income. We addressed the risk of management override of internal controls including testing jourllals and evaluation whether there was evidentr of bias by the Board that represented a risk of material misststement due to fraud. In addition to the above, our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following.. rev(ewing the finanoal staternent disclosures and testing to supporting docurnentation to assess compllanTr with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a dirert effett on the financial statements. enquiring of management conceming actual and potential litigation and daims,. performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpetted relationship5 that may iridicate risks of material misstaternent due to fTrud,' and in addre55ing the risk of fraud through management override of controls, assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimate5 were indicative of a potential bias and evaluating the busines5 rationale of any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course Df business. We also communicated relevant identified law5 and regUla￿On$ and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-c0rnprian￿ with laws and regulation5 throughout the audit.
