applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicabl¢ in
the UK and Repiiblic of Ireland (FRS1021 effective l Janiiary 2015.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
The Foundation was regulated by a scheme made by the Chariry Commissioners in 1978, and after a number of
revisions a new scheme came into being on 5 Jul}, 20a5 in connection with the legal merger of Leeds Grammar
School and Leeds Girls, High Scliool to form The Grammar School at Leeds (GSAL).
A unifJ'ing direction was issued on 25 November 2009 whereby the Leeds Grammar School and Leeds Girls, High
School Foundation Award Fund for Girls. the Leeds Grammar School and Leeds Girls, High Scl)ool Foundation
Award Fund for Boys and the GSAL Award Fund were to be treated as forming part of the Foundation for the
purposes of Part 11 (registration) and Part Vl (accounting) of the Charities Act 1993. although the individual
chariries remained separate and legally distinct.
On 10 April 2015 the Chdrity Ctsinmi55itsn published a 5cheine w'liereby the fuiids and dCtivitle5 of tlie linked
charitie5, bein¥ the Leeds Gramtnar School and Leeds Girls, High School Foundation Award Fund for Girls, the
Leeds GrammaT School aiid Leed5 Girls, High School Foundation Award Fuiid for Boy5 and the GSAL AM.ard
Fuiid. were traiisltTred iiito the Leeds GraTnmar Scliool and Leeds Gir15' High School Foundation, wl)o will
continue to pursue the san)e objects as those previously linked charities. The previously linked charities were
removed from the Charity Commission register on l O April 2015.
Reeruitment and training of Trustees
The Trustees were selected both because of their relevant experience of the Trust's area of operations and because of
their experience as Trustees ol'other bodies. An induction process is in place for new Trustees when appointed, and
the￿ are made aware of on-going training opportui)iiies.
Organisational Management
The Trustees met on four occasions during the year. All operational decisions affecting the trust are undertaken by
the Board of Trusiees.
Risk Management
The Trustees have revIe￿£d major risks to which the trnst is exposed, particularl). those related to the operation and
rinance5 of the trust. Tlie Trustees have given consideration to the appropriate policies, procedures aiid 5y5tems to
itigate the tru5t'5 exposure to the inajor risks.
The principal risks of the Foundation are associated with its ability to continue to generate investment incoine and
donatitsns to support the work of GSAL. The majority ol. the assets of the iestricted funds are invested and so are
subject to market tluctuation. The Trustees advise the Foundation's investment managers on the acceptable level of
risk. A development group works lor both the Foundation and School in order to develop fund raising activities as a
whole.
OWF.CTIVF.S AND ACTIVITIES

We conducted our audit in accordance with Iniernarional Standards on Auditing (UK) IISAS {UK)) and applicable
law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of
the financial siatemenis section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical
requirements that are relevant 10 our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S F.thical
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.
Conelusions relk)ting to going eoneern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded thai 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 perlormed, we have not identified ai)>, Inaterial uncertainties relatii)g to events or
conditions that, individually or collectively, ma>, cast significant doubt on the charity's abilitv to eontinue as a going
concern for a period of at least twelve months from w'hen the financial statements are authorised for issue.

stateineiits does not cover the other information and, except to the ext¢nt otherwise explicitly staled in our report, we

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so: consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the financial statcments or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or
othenvi5e appears to be materially Inisstated. If we identify such material incon5lStencies or appareiit niaterial

SCHOOL AIYD LEEDS GIRLS, HIGH SCHOOL FOULNDATION
the charity has not kept sutyicieni accounting records.. or
the financial statement5 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.
Re5POllsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in Ihe Trustees, Responsibilities Statement set out on page 5. the Irustees are responsible
for the preparaiion of the financial statements and for being satisfied that thev give a true and fair Vie￿., and for such
intemal control as the trustees determine is necessary 10 enable the preparation of financial statements that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial siatemenis, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's abiliti, 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 eiiher intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditors. responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made
under 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 an auditors, report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee thai an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAS (UK) will alwaj's detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individuallv or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic d￿lsionS of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities: including fraud, are Ins￿￿ceS of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities, ouilined above, to detsct material missiatements in respeci 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.
Identifying and assessiiig risks related to irregularities..
We a5se5sed the susceptibility of the charity's finaiicial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might
occur: including throiigh discussions with the trustees: discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating
our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives
and opportunities for fraudulent manipiilation of the financial stateinent5. We identified law5 and regulations that
are of sigynificaiice in the context of the charity by di5CUS5ion5 Wlth trustee5 and updating our uiider5tandin¥ of the
sector in which the charity operates.
Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the cliarity include the Charities Act 2011, the Charities
{Accounts and Report5) RegTulation5 2008 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for EnbFland and Wales.
Audit response to risks identified..
We considered tl)e extent of Lompliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the
related finai)cial staten)ent items including a review of linancial staten)ent discltssures. We reviewed the charity's
records of breaches of laws and retsulaiions. minutes tsf meeiinJ(T and correspondence w'ith relevant autl)orities to
identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the charity-s policies and procedures for compliance
with laws and regulatilins with members of managemeni responsible for compliance.
During the planningF meetin¥ with the audit team, the engFa¥ement partner drew attention to the key areas wliich
might involve non-compliance with laws and re¥yulation5 or fraud. We enquired of managFement whether they M'ere
aware of any instances of non-coinpliance with law5 aiid regulations or kiiowledgye of any actual, suspected or
alleged fraud. We addressed the Tisk of fraud throu¥h Inaiiagemeiit override of coiitro15 by testing the
appropriateness of journal entries and idei)tifying anw signilicant transactions that were ui)usual or ouiside the
norinal course of business. We assessed whether judgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a
possible indication of maiiagement bias. At the conipleiion stage of the audit, the engagen)ent partiier's review

INDEPEINDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEEDS GRAMMAR
SCHOOL AIYD LEEDS GIRLS, HIGH SCHOOL FOULNDATION
included ensuring that the team had approached their w'ork with appropriate professional sceptieism and thus the
capacity to ideniify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
Theie are inl)erent liniitations in the audit procedures described above and the furtl)er removed non-compliance with
laws and regulaiions is from the events and transaciions reflected in the financial s(atemen(s. the less likely we
would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not deiecting a Ma￿rial Inisstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk
of not de￿ctIng one resuliing froni error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example. forgery or
intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
