CUNDALL MANOR LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Details of significant activities for achieving objectives

Mr James-Roll was appointed as Headmaster in November 2021 to take up post on 1 September 2022. He replaced Mrs Amanda Kirby who held the position of Headmistress from June 2019 and previously as a Joint Head since 2014. Mr James-Roll started with a focus on developing all-round, engaging learning experiences, including the development of a robust character curriculum, designed to build children’s skills for the future being his first priority

The school has continued its focus on maintenance across the site so that buildings and the surrounding environment provide an engaging and enriching environment for our pupils. The school has also continued to build on the IT provision across the site so the classroom are equipped for modern teaching and learning.

Public Benefit

In setting objectives and planning future activities, the Governors have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on education and fee charging.

In addition to the objectives and plans set out above, the Governors have undertaken to do the following:

To grant annually a number of scholarships to gifted and talented children alongside means tested bursaries. At the same time, to recognise and accept children of mixed ability and to continue to assist children who require learning support.

To increase the provision of education and the sharing of facilities with the local community, the School makes its facilities available for use by community organisations where these can be accommodated around the School timetable. These have included the use of the Astro Turf by hockey clubs in North Yorkshire, including the North Yorkshire Hockey - Development and Academy Centre and Thirsk Hockey Club, and the sports fields, gymnastics and tennis facilities by members of the local community. Various local businesses, including Brightwater Swimming, use the swimming pool facilities outside the School timetable. To improve links with and share facilities with local primary schools, the School invites children from local primary schools to partake in music and sports events held at the School. The School also offers parents free access to a baby sensory-play programme called 'Baby Explore’ which is being reinvigorated after pausing due to the Covid pandemic. Mr James-Roll and his Senior Leadership Team will continue to grow and promote the provision and use of school facilities to local community groups and charities.

Achievements and performance

The School offers academic, art, drama, music, all-rounder and sporting scholarships. The School also offers assistance to parents and members of staff in respect of the fees payable for their children based on policy and individual circumstances. The School's charitable activities are and will continue to be constantly reviewed in the light of national recommendations.

Pupils take part in a number of charitable fundraising events through the year with the proceeds being donated to a variety of charities, including, but not limited to, Race for Life, Red Nose Day, Ukrainian Ribbon Day and the Teenage Cancer Trust. During the financial year ending 31 August 2022, the pupils through School raised £2,173 (2021: £2,465).

Pupils at Cundall Manor achieved outstanding GCSE results in August 2022. 100% of pupils gained 4-9 in both Maths and English.

Investment powers

Trustees may invest funds as they see fit, subject to any laws in place at the time.

Financial review

The results for the year are presented on pages 9 to 12 of the Financial Statements. The total income for the year is £4,724,551 (2021: £4,823,870) and total expenditure of £4,630,685 (2021: £4,667,990). The total surplus for the year is £93,866 (2021: £155,880).

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In order to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis management have prepared detailed financial projections which take account of normal operating conditions and known variable factors which have affected the forecast in the past. Pupil numbers are the main determinant of the operating surplus and cash flow of the school. The governors have concluded that that there is sufficient working capital to continue operations.

Reserves policy

The Trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. This review encompassed the nature of income and expenditure streams, the need to match income with commitments and the nature of reserves. The Trustees have determined that the appropriate level of reserves which are not invested in tangible fixed assets should be in the range of 7% - 10% of fees and ideally 8.5% of fees (equivalent to about 4 weeks' expenditure, approximately £350,000). Our policy is therefore to seek to establish reserves at that level.

CUNDALL MANOR LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

Risk Management

The Trustees actively review the major risks to which the school is exposed. The Trustees have examined operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

Individual committees are responsible for reviewing and monitoring the management of risk in their particular area. They are satisfied that the mitigation of the identified major risks detailed below have been or are being addressed as follows:

Failure to Govern Effectively - Governing Body
Failure to deliver Educational objectives - Governing Body, Education Committee
Failure to Safeguard Pupils - Governing Body, Pastoral, Wellbeing and Safeguarding Committee
Regulatory Non Compliance - Governing Body
Impact of Economic Climate - Governing Body, Finance Committee
Major Fraud or Financial Mismanagement - Governing Body, Finance Committee
Reputational Risk - Governing Body

Emphasis will continue to be placed on pupil development and resilience, curriculum development, staff development and robust management processes to achieve the School Development Plan. This will be further enhanced with Continuous Professional Development for staff.

Structure, governance and management

The Governing document is the Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 3 January 1972 as amended by special resolution registered at Companies House on 22 May 2017.

Constitution

The school is a company limited by guarantee with no share capital (registration no. 1036833) and a registered charity (registration no. 529540). The charitable company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association are the primary governing documents of the school.

Recruitment, appointment, induction and training of new Trustees

Trustees can appoint any nominated person through the nominations committee.

Trustees are selected in accordance with the requirements of the School. As a collective unit the Trustees need relevant skills and experience to enable them to advise on the educational progression of the School, the wellbeing of the pupils and the development of the staff. The Trustees should also collectively have sound financial skills enabling them to monitor the current financial situation of the organisation and also advise on the financial impact of any strategic decisions. Individually a trustee should possess skills and experience enabling him/her to advise on management of people, financial matters, marketing and overall business management.

Our Trustees are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and include an experienced former Head Teacher from the state sector and a boarding house master from the Independent Sector. The other Trustees include some existing and past parents, primarily selected for the range of skills and experience that they bring to the board. All of the Trustees are allocated areas of responsibility which may include finance, child safeguarding, personnel welfare and management, health and safety, site management and maintenance, educational matters and the identification and recruitment of new Trustees. Given the personal commitment required to fulfil the role, careful consideration is given to those who volunteer their services providing they meet the criteria above. The school is open to anybody being a Trustee regardless of age, race, religion, disability or gender.

Given the caliber of recruits, induction and training is primarily gained by experience of filling the role. However, specific training in certain areas is provided for Trustees to ensure that the Governing Body collectively have the full skills required for governance of the School. Training is given to all Trustees annually on Child Safeguarding with identified Trustees being given more in-depth training. Prospective Trustees are issued a briefing pack containing information about the School, the roles and responsibilities of a Trustee and the need to attend training courses and obtain the relevant safeguarding clearance before they can formally be appointed. Following their appointment, they follow a set induction procedure. All Trustees are encouraged to attend training courses and seminars organised by AGBIS and other independent school bodies, Local Authorities, and to visit other similar schools inside and outside the region.

Organisational structure

Ultimate responsibility for the operation of Cundall Manor Limited rests with the Trustees who meet on a regular basis and at least quarterly. In addition, the Governing Body designated sub committees which meet on a regular basis and at least quarterly to review in depth specific aspects of the School within the committee's remit.

The day-to-day management of the School is the responsibility of the Head. The Headmaster is responsible for setting and maintaining the academic standards of the School, developing the School, staff recruitment and for ensuring adherence to financial budgets. The Headmaster also has responsibility for managing the finances and administration of the school in conjunction with the Senior Leadership Team and Trustees.

CUNDALL MANOR LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CUNDALL MANOR LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Cundall Manor Limited (the ‘School’) for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the statement of financial position, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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:

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 School 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 School’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 other information comprises the information included in the Trustees' report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Trustees' 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. 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. 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

CUNDALL MANOR LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CUNDALL MANOR LIMITED

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 trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements set out on page 5, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determines 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 concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intends 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. 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:

CUNDALL MANOR LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CUNDALL MANOR LIMITED

The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud are to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud and obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses, and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.

Our approach was as follows:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's Trustees, 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 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Cundall Manor Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Cundall Manor School, Cundall, York, YO61 2RW.

In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The charity’s registered office and the nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are stated on the report of the board of Trustees

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the School's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, "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) (issued in October 2019)" and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The School is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the School.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

In order to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, the governors have completed detailed financial projections which take account of normal operating conditions and known variable factors which have affected the forecast in the past. However, the impact of the global pandemic, UK Governments response and socioeconomic factors are making business forecasting very challenging, resulting in several possible financial outcomes. In response to these challenges the governors have evaluated a range of financial outcomes to enable them to confirm the charity has sufficient resources to continue as a going concern, but we acknowledge that It is impossible to predict the longer-term impact of the pandemic on revenue.

Pupil numbers are the main determinant of the operating surplus and cash flow of the school so that funding for essential infrastructure work to maintain the quality of the education we can provide can be funded.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the funder or when funds are raised for a specific purpose.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

School fees represent charges for the school for the year less bursaries and allowances given.

Donations are included in income when they are received. Other income is accounted for on a receivable basis.

Advanced fees

Where the school has received tuition fees in advance the amount is treated as deferred income.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

(Continued)

Expenditure are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis. Expenditure that can be directly attributed to charitable activities have been included under ‘direct costs’. Expenditure that cannot be directly attributed to charitable activities is included in ‘support costs’ and allocated on an appropriate basis.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Only fixed assets costing £400 or more are capitalised at cost.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Freehold property the classroom block which cost £2,297,334 is depreciated over 50 years, straight line Fixtures, fittings and equipment 15% on cost straight line/ Portacabins 10% on cost straight line Motor vehicles 25% on cost straight line

1.7 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.9 Financial instruments

The company has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are recognised at transaction value and recognised when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial assets

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount net or any trade discounts due.

Basic financial liabilities

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 trade discounts due.

1.10 Employee benefits

Retirement benefits

The school participates in a defined benefit pension scheme (the teachers’ pension scheme) but is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities (see note 18 for more details). The pension costs charged to the statement of financial activities are the total contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period.

Termination payments

The amounts included within termination payments are paid to the employee in line with the company redundancy policy.

1.11 Leases

Finance lease

Assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the expected useful life of the asset. Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. The related obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in creditors.

1.12 School trips

The school organises a number of trips for pupils to broaden their education and recharges the cost plus an administration fee as disbursements and includes the income as income from charitable activities.

18 Teachers' Pension Scheme

The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the school to the funds and amounted to £488,656 (2021: £463,454). There was £43,691 (2021: £51,425) outstanding to the pension scheme at the year end (including amounts collected from the employees).

Until 31 August 2021 the charity contributed to the Teachers’ Pension Defined Benefit Scheme at rates set by the Scheme Actuary and advised to the Board by the Scheme Administrator. The scheme is a multi employer’s pension scheme and it is not possible to identify the assets and liabilities of the scheme which are attributable to the school. In accordance with the Charities SORP therefore, the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the income and expenditure account in the year in which they accrue.

From 1 September 2021 all teachers switched off Teachers' Pension Defined Benefit Scheme and began a new scheme operated by Aviva.
