Purpose and activities
The purposes of the charity are: the advancement of religious education for the public benefit, and in particular to establish and maintain colleges, hostels or other institutes at Mirfield in Yorkshire, London, South Africa or elsewhere for the reception and training of students in theology, science, arts or letters, but more especially for students who are or who intend to become candidates for Holy Orders.
The College of the Resurrection, a residential Anglican theological college in Mirfield, is the principal work of the Frere Educational Trust.
The College of the Resurrection was founded in 1903 and is the only theological college in the Anglican Communion that shares its life with a monastic community.
Students at the College are mostly candidates for ordination to the priesthood. The College:
-
l offers formation for both stipendiary and non-stipendiary ministry;
-
l provides pathways for pioneer ministers and theological educators;
-
l offers preparation for the distinctive diaconate and for a wide diversity of lay ministries in parishes and in monastic life.
-
l welcomes priests studying (part or full-time) for an MA, or undertaking sabbatical study.
Statement on public benefit
The trustees are pleased to confirm that they have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in deciding the activities and operations of the charity.
Achievements and performance
The College sent out eight students at the end of the Summer Term to be made deacon. The College recruited eight new students to begin training in September of 2024, half of whom were women. One of the eight recruits was an independently funded student who had commenced with College in January 2023 and who was able to switch to a pathway funded centrally by the Ministry Development Team. Hence the College roll stood at 17 students, of which four were women..
The College has continued to work productively with Durham University via the Yorkshire Theological Education Partnership (YTEP).
The number of students in College for 2024/5 was 20% higher than the previous year and reflected pleasing levels of recruitment for students starting in September 2024. However, the number of students in College over 2024/5 was still well below the College’s aspiration and continues to reflect a number of problems facing Theological Educational Institutions (TEIs) in general and residential Colleges in particular. The number of ordinands entering training has declined and was slow to recover following the Covid19 pandemic; the proportion of ordinands training residentially is in decline and there is substantial overcapacity within the Residential Sector of training institutions.

Company Registration No. 246351 Charity Registration No. 529320
The number of ordinands generated by the catholic tradition of the Church of England is presently relatively weak. Against that background, the College of the Resurrection has seen a small increase in ‘market share’ and has been recruiting at higher levels than historically larger colleges but the ‘market’ remains much smaller than we have been accustomed to. The recruitment in September 2024 also helped to restore balance within the diversity of the student body.
The College has continued its progress towards the full implementation of its responses to the 2022 PER Recommendations. A new Chair of the College Council, The Bishop of Liverpool, unfortunately resigned his chairmanship of the Council along with his see. The suffragan Bishops of Huddersfield (Leeds Diocese) and Middleton (Manchester Diocese) have joined the Council and the latter is the Acting Chair.
Financial review
The charity's main source of funding is from fees for the education, formation and training of ordinands for the Church of England.
Income from maintenance and tuition fees for the year was £452,214 (2024: £332,872). This income is driven by student numbers. Additional income from the provision of housing, receipts from guests and other income for the year was: £119,881 (2024: £116,983).
The charity received donations in the year of £7,892 (2024: £26,559). Grants have been received of £8,521 from its parent charity and grants from other sources of £75, (2024: £68,310 and £4,050). Bank interest received in the year was: £287 (2024: £244).
Costs for the college have continued to rise, overall expenditure for the year was £561,788 (2024: £531,391). Costs of staffing, external tuition, accreditation, catering and housing have all increased in the year.
Following significant deficits the last two years have seen modest surpluses (2025: £27,082; 2024: £17,627).
Reserves and funds
The General Fund, which is the operating fund of the charity, held £46,836 as at 31 August 2025. The trustees recognise that this level of reserves is deficient and have obtained an undertaking from the parent charity, The Community of the Resurrection to help with funding whilst the Plan for Quality and Sustainability is worked towards and implemented.
There is one restricted fund which is to encourage propective ordinands to visit the college, this fund had a balance of £1,181 as at the period end which will be used in the current year. Reserves remain below the reserve policy of maintaining reserves at a level not below £200,000.
Risk management
Risks have been assessed in accordance with Charity Commission guidance in CC26 and action plans put in place to mitigate or manage those risks. This covered risks associated with adverse event management, academic risk, compliance and safeguarding risks, operational risks (including data protection), and financial risks (including guarding against fraud risks and consideration of the risks associated with investments). The risk register is monitored and updated on a regular basis.
A commonality with some of these, particularly financial risk, was student intake and the size of the overall student body. Whilst the risk that numbers could fall to such a level as to be considered critical was judged to be only moderate, it does highlight the trustees' desire to have sufficient resources in place to support residential training for the future.

Future plans
Recruitment
The College intends to continue its present recruitment policy which has proved to be relatively successful in the past two years. Recruitment for September 2025 has turned out to even better than the previous year. The College has recruited 10 new Ordinands and an independently funded student. The College is one of only a few TEIs which have increased the size of their student bodies.
Efforts are concentrated on its Holy Week activity as well as termly Open Days, regular Social Media postings, networking with parish and diocesan communities and encouraging the recommendation of the College to prospective ordinands by current and former students.
Diversification
The College is pursuing several initiatives to diversify income including the following:
-
An MA course in Worship and Liturgical Studies was launched in September 2022 and has 18 students now registered. This course is taught entirely online and has a potential to grow the number of UK and international students. Apart from England, students have been recruited in the wider Anglican Communion from America, Australia, the Caribbean, Japan, South Africa, Sweden and Wales. This course generates a modest additional income stream but with potential to grow.
-
The College continues to open up appropriate courses and modules to a general body of external students e.g. An Introduction to New Testament Greek and Transforming Conflict. These generate a small additional income stream and raise the profile of the College.
-
The College has partnered with St Hild College, based on the same site, to provide jointly an ordination pathway that combines residential aspects of Mirfield with the contextual training pedagogy which is familiar to St Hild. Whilst this received a broad welcome at its launch, no students registered for this pathway in 2024/5. However, a new recruit has joined on this pathway in September 2025. The timing of decision-making by Bishops’ Advisory Panels for the approval of candidates to become ordinands is late in the discernment process. This then creates practical difficulties for prospective students in the selection of a pathway involving a residential component. The matter has been taken up at a national level with the Director of Ministry.
-
The College has found it difficult to gain support with universities for establishing a new degree course in Theology and Education leading to Qualified Teacher Status. As the economic environment facing Higher Education institutions has deteriorated, universities have become far more cost conscious and risk averse. There is less willingness to trial new courses when student recruits are uncertain.
-
Work is in hand for the College to become an approved training provider with a view to delivering apprenticeship courses. These would be focused on youth work/youth ministry and on church administration and management.
-
Another of the YTEP partners expects to centre its training operation on the Mirfield site and this may provide new opportunities for joint teaching.
-
An anticipated joint appointment of a parish priest at Christ the King, Battyeford and College Tutor, raises the possibility of further contextual training opportunities.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of the Frere Educational Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report (incorporating the directors' report) and the financial statements in accordance with 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).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs and of the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
l select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
l observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;

l make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
l state whether applicable UK accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-

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.
Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Auditor's Report to the member of The Frere Educational Trust For the year ended 31 August 2025
Charity Registration No. 529320
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Frere Educational Trust for the year ended 31 August 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities and Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, 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).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
l give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 August 2025 and of its incoming resources and applications of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
l have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
l have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 charitable company 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 the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 18 to the financial statements, 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.
Emphasis of matter - going concern and dependency on support of the parent company
In forming our opinion on the charitable company's financial statements, which is not modified, we draw your attention to the directors' consideration of the going concern basis of preparation in note 1.4 to the the financial statements and the dependency upon the support of the parent company.
The Community of the Resurrection has given an undertaking to provide sufficient financial support to the Frere Educational Trust for a period sufficient for the directors to consider the charity a going concern.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 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 related sections of this report.
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.

Company Registration No. 246351
Charity Registration No. 529320
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 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 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.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
l the information given in the trustees' report, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
l the directors' report included within the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
l adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
l the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or l certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or l we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or l the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the directors' report included within the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilites of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement (set out on page 6), the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company'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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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.
Page 8
The Frere Educational Trust Independent Auditor's Report to the member of The Frere Educational Trust For the year ended 31 August 2025
Company Registration No. 246351
Charity Registration No. 529320
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 the financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), the auditor exercises professional judgement and maintains professional skepticism throughout the audit.
The 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 design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
To help us identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that might have a material effect on the financial statements, and in identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect to non-compliance, or procedures included, but were not limited to:
-
l Making enquiries of management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance, as to whether the charitable company is in compliance with laws and regulations, and discussing their policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations;
-
l Inspecting correspondence, if any, with relevant licensing or regulatory authorities;
-
l Communicating identified laws and regulations to the engagement team and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit; and
-
l Considering the risk of acts by the charitable company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.
We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the preparation of the financial statements, such as tax legislation, pension legislation, the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006.
Based on our understanding of the charitable company and its sector, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to UK Charity Law and Safeguarding regulations. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements, as well as those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements, such as the Companies Act 2006.
In addition, we evaluated the trustees' and management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements including the risk of override of controls and determined that the principal risks were related to the size of the organisation (being small means less opportunity for segregating duties and oversight) and significant one-off or unusual transactions.
Our audit procedures in relation to fraud included but were not limited to:
-
l Making enquiries of management on whether they had knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
l Gaining an understanding of internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud;
-
l Discussion amongst the engagement team around the risks of fraud;
-
l Evaluating and responding to the high risk of management override of controls by performing suitable tests over areas such as accounting entries;
-
l Substantively testing areas susceptible to fraud and manipulation, such as revenue recognition.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures. Auditing standards limit the audit procedures to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations, the further that particular laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance.

Charity Registration No. 529320
As with any audit, there remains a risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these can involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal controls.
The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities, including fraud, rests with the trustees.
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.

This report is made solely to the charitable company's member, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's member those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose.

Company Registration No. 246351 Charity Registration No. 529320
1 Accounting Policies
The charitable company is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
1.1 Basis of preparation of accounts
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with '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)' - the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
Assets and liabilities are recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are nearest £. As the charitable company does not trade for profit, the trustees have taken advantage of Section 474 of the Companies Act 2006 and have prepared an income and expenditure account instead of a profit and loss account.
1.2 Legal status
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England.
The only member of the charity is the Community of the Resurrection (Co.reg.no. 00247772), a company limited by guarantee, having no share capital and being a charity registered in England (no. 232670). In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member. The trustees of the charity are as listed in the Trustees Annual Report.
The registered office is: The College of the Resurrection, Stocks Bank Road, Mirfield, WF14 0BW.
1.3 Fund accounting
- Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside for a particular purpose. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in these notes. Restricted funds are subject to specific restrictions, which the donor, legatee, or other third party has specified are solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific purposes undertaken by the charity. The Charity had one restricted fund during the year and prior year.
1.4 Going concern
- At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources, with the support of its parent charity, to continue in operation. The trustees therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The medium to long-term future of residential training and therefore the College is less certain. Financially the College is dependent upon student numbers and the continued support of its parent charity. The Community of the Resurrection has given an undertaking to fund future deficits of the Frere Educational Trust for the next four academic years. Work continues on a Plan for Quality and Sustainability.

Company Registration No. 246351 Charity Registration No. 529320
1.5 Income
Income is recognised when the following criteria are met:
-
the charity has entitlement to the funds;
-
any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity;
-
it is probable that the income will be received; and
-
the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from grants, whether capital grants or revenue grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) the economic contribution of volunteers time is not measured in the accounts.
For legacies entitlement is the earlier of the date on which the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) that a distribution to the charity will be made, or when a distribution is received. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material in the notes to the accounts.
Income received in advance of the provision of a service or entitlement is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met and disclosed if material in the notes to the accounts.
Income from investments is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably, this is normally upon notification of the income by the investment manager.
1.6 Expenditure and VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure on charitable activites includes the costs of operating the College such as university fees, premises expenses, staff costs and associated support costs.
Support costs include office, administration and governance costs. These are noted below and included under the one charitable activity, namely the operating of the College of the Resurrection.
All costs and expenses include VAT where charged which is not recoverable by the charity.
1.7 Operating leases
The charity classifies the lease of printing and photocopying equipment as operating leases. The title to the equipment remains with the lessor and the equipment is replaced considerably before the end of the normal economic life of the equipment. Rental charges are recognised as expenditure on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
1.8 Taxation
No corporation tax has been provided in these accounts because the trustees believe that the income and gains of the charity are within the exemptions granted by Chapters 2 and 3 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010.

Company Registration No. 246351 Charity Registration No. 529320
1.9 Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered.
1.10 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and any short term highly liquid investments and deposit accounts.
1.11 Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.
1.12 Financial instruments
The charity has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently at their settlement value.
1.13 Pensions
The College participates in two pension schemes, one for stipendiary academic staff (CEFPS) and one for other academic and lay staff (CWPF), each scheme has been accounted for in these accounts as follows:
The College of the Resurrection participates in the Church of England Funded Pensions Scheme (CEFPS) for stipendary clergy, a defined benefit pension scheme. This scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the scheme seperately from those of the Responsible Bodies. Each participating Responsible Body in the scheme pays contributions at a common contribution rate applied to pensionable stipends. The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in section 28 of FRS 102. It is not possible to attribute the scheme's assets and liabilities to each specific Responsible Body, and this means contributions are accounted for as if the scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pension costs charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year are contributions payable towards benefits and expenses accrued in that year, plus the figures highlighted in the table in note 9.
The College of the Resurrection also participates in the Pension Builder section of the Church Workers Pension Fund (CWPF). The scheme is administered by the Church of England Pensions Board, which holds the assets of the scheme seperately from those of the employer and other participating employers.
CWPF has two sections:
-
the Defined Benefits Scheme
-
the Pension Builder Scheme, which has two subsections:
-
a. a deferred annuity section known as Pension Builder Classic, and, b. a cash balance section known as Pension Builder 2014.
Both sections of the Pension Builder Scheme are classed as defined benefit schemes.
Pension Builder Classic provides a pension, accumulated from contributions paid and converted into a deferred annuity during employment based on terms set and reviewed by the Church of England Pensions Board from time to time. Discretionary increases may also be added, depending on investment returns and other factors.
Page 16
The Frere Educational Trust Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2025
Company Registration No. 246351 Charity Registration No. 529320
Pension Builder 2014 is a cash balance scheme that provides a lump sum that members use to provide benefits at retirement. Pension contributions are recorded in an account for each member. Discretionary bonuses may be added before retirement, depending on investment returns and other factors. The account, plus any bonuses declared is payable, unreduced, from age 65.
There is no sub-division of assets between employers in each section of the Pension Builder Scheme.
The scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Pension Builder Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The contributions paid are detailed in note 9.

Church of England Funded Pension Scheme (CEFPS) (note 1.13)
The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are contributions payable towards benefits and expenses accrued in that year (2025: £20,922, 2024: £21,964).
A valuation is carried out once every three years. The most recent Scheme valuation completed was carried out as at 31 December 2021. The 2021 valuation revealed a surplus of £560m, based on assets of £2,720m and a funding target of £2,160m, assessed using the following assumptions:
-
An average discount rate of 2.7% p.a.;
-
RPI inflation of 3.6% p.a. (and pension increases consistent with this);
-
CPIH inflation in line with RPI less 0.8% pre 2030 moving to RPI with no adjustment from 2030 onwards;
-
Increase in pensionable stipends in line with CPIH;
-
Mortality in accordance with 90% of the S3NA tables, with allowance for improvements in mortality rates from 2013 in line with the CMI 2020 extended model with a long term annual rate of improvement of 1.5%, a smoothing parameter of 7 and an initial addition to mortality improvements of 0.5% pa and an allowance for 2020 data of 0% (i.e. w2020=0%).

Following finalisation of the 31 December 2021 valuation, deficit contributions ceased with effect from 1 January 2023, since the scheme was fully funded.
The deficit recovery contributions under the recovery plan in force at each 31 December were as follows:
----- Start of picture text -----
% of pensionable stipends
31 December 2021 7.1% payable from January 2021 to December 2022
31 December 2022 Nil
31 December 2023 Nil
31 December 2024 Nil
----- End of picture text -----
An interim reduction to deficit contributions to 3.2% of pensionable stipends was made with effect from April 2022, and remained in place until December 2022.
For senior office holders, pensionable stipends are adjusted in the calculations by a multiple, as set out in the scheme's rules.
Section 28.11A of FRS 102 requires agreed deficit recovery payments to be recognised as a liability. However, as there are no agreed deficit recovery payments from 1 January 2023 onwards, the balance sheet liability as at 31 August 2024 and 31 August 2025 is nil.
The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another Responsible Body fails, the Frere Educational Trust could become responsible for paying a share of that Responsible Body's pension liabilities.
Church Workers Pension Fund (CWPF) (note 1.13)
The pension costs charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year were contributions payable of £7,250 (2024: £6,603).
A valuation of the Pension Builder Scheme is carried out once every three years. The most recent valuation was carried out as at 31 December 2022. The next valuation is due as at 31 December 2025.
For the Pension Builder Classic section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £34.8m on the ongoing assumptions used. At the most recent annual review effective 1 January 2025, the Board chose to grant a discretionary bonus of 6.7% to both pensions in payment in respect of post April 2006 service so that the pension increase was 2.7% (where usually it would be calculated based on inflation up to 2.5%). This followed improvements in the funding position over 2024. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
For the Pension Builder 2014 section, the valuation revealed a surplus of £8.5m on the ongoing assumptions used. There is no requirement for deficit payments at the current time.
The legal structure of the scheme is such that if another employer fails, the Frere Educational Trust could become responsible for paying a share of the failed employer's pension liabilities.
