A unifying 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 School Foundation
Award Fund for Boy5 and the GSAL Award Fund were to be treated a5 forming part of the Foundation for the
purpose5 of Part11 Iregi5trationl and Part Vl laccountingl of the Charitie5 Act 1993, although the individual charities
remained separate and legally distinct.

charitie5, being the Leeds Grammar School and Leed5 Girls, High School Foundation Award Fund for Girls, the
Leeds Grammar School and Leeds Girls, High School Foundation Award Fund for Boys and the GSAL Award Fund,

Concluslons relatlng to golng concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the goinE concern basis of
ccountin8 In the preparation of the financial statements 15 appropriate.
Bèsed on the work we have performed, we have ntst identified any material uncertainties relating to events or
conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast Significant dtsubt on the charity's èbility to continue as a going
concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial staternents are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the

otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencie5 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 nothin8 to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTTO THE TRUSTEES OF LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL AND
LEEDS GIRLS, HIGH SCHOOL FOUNDATION
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 IAccounts and
Reports) Regulations 2￿8 require us to report to you if, in our opinion..
the information given in the Trustees, Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the
rinancial statements- or
the charity has not kept sufficient accounting records.. tsr
the financial statements are not IN agreement with the accounting record5 and returns,. or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustee5
As explained more fully in the Trustees, Responsibilities Statement set out on page S, 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 01 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.
Auditor5, 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 a55urance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit eonducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will alway5 detect a material mi55tatement when it exist5. Mi55tatements 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 misstatement5 in re5pert of irregularitie5,
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 a55essing risks related to irregularities..
We asse55ed the susceptibility of the charity'5 financial 5tatement5 to material misstatement and how fraud might
occur, including through discussions with the trustees, discussions within our audit team planning meetin&
updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible
incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and
regulations that are of significance in the Context of the tharity by discussions with trustees and updating our
understanding of the sector in which the charity operates.
Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the charity include the Charities Act 2011. the Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Reeulations 2008 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for EnEland and Wales.
Audit response to risk5 identified..
We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the
related financial statement items including a review of financial statement disclosures. We reviewed the charity's
records of breaches of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant authorities to

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORTTO THE TRUSTEES OF LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL AND
LEEDS GIRLS, HIGH SCHOOL FOUNDATION
identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the charity's policies and procedures for
compliance with laws and regulations Wlth member5 of managernent responsible for compliance.
During the planning meetine with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which
might involve non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they
were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations 01 knowledge of artual, suspected
or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the
appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the
normal course of business. We assessed whether judgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a
possible indication of management bias. At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partner's review
included ensuririg that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the
capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance
with laws and regulations is from the event5 and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the le55 likely
we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than
the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example,
forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's webslte at..
www.frc.or

onsibilities. This description forms part of our auditorfs report.
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 Reportsl Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those
matters we are required to State to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent
perrritted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the trustee5 as a
body, for our audit work. for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
