Ashville College welcomes pupils from all backgrounds. The Governors want to ensure that potent131 puplls wlll beneflt from the educatlon the College provides and e?n Cope with the pace of learning.. hènce entrance Interviews and asse$5ments are undertaken prlor to a place being offered. However, an indlvidual's economlc 5tatU5, gendèr, ethnlclty, race, religSon or disablllty do not form part of thls assessment process. The Governors are also commltted to broadenlng access to the College by offerln8 means-tested financlal support to eligible parentslguardlans. Such support Is known as a bursary and these are awarded In the form of a discount on fees dependln8 on the flnanclal, compassionate or other perrlnent clrcumstances of appllcants.

However, the College does not have a large endowment and must ensure that there Ss a balance between fee-payin8 parents, many of whom make con51derable personal sacrlflces to fund thelr child'5 educatlon, and those benefltlng from the awards. In additlon to bursarles, scholarshlps are awarded to recognlse hlgh academlc polentSal or the ability to excel In other areas of the College, Including 5PQrt, drama and mu51c.

The lockdown in November 2020, the tler 3 restrlctlons in parts of Ashville's catchment area and the further lockdown and closurÈ of schools on 5 January 2021 resulted in further financial hardship for a number of A5hvllle families, outslde of the"normal' levp15 experlenced In years prior to the current and the prevlous year. Following the Closure of the school in January 2021 the College immediately moved back to online learnln8 and committed to a 7.5% dlscount agalnst day fees for students, which is rec#gni5ed as a direct reduction against the Bross fees receivable line.

Having IdentlfTed these as the malor risks, the Governors and College management have put strate8les in place lo elther eliminate ihese risks, or to mlnlmise their potentlal Impact. The measures put In place to mltl8ate the Identified rlsks Include.. Comprehenslve plannln8 and budgetlng process to ensure resources are approprlately allocated,.

Through the risk management processes established for the College. the Board 15 Satisfied that the major rlsks identified have been adequately mitigated. It Is recognlsed that 5VStems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed. The Governors regularly review the effectiveness of current plans and strategles for m3nagFng all identlfled malor risks for both the College and its subsidlarles. Annual Report of the Governing Body actlng as trustee for the charity. Ashville College, for the year ended 31 August 2021 (continued) Reserye5 Policy At thè year end the College had unrestricted funds of £17.Im12020: E17.Iml. As the value of tanBible fiKed a5setS Is £20.6m12020.' £20.5ml the College technically does not have any free ieserves. The Governors alm to reduce this Shortfall over timè.. but, having reviewed the Cglle8e's funding posititsn, the Governors do not believe the shortfall represents a slgnificant risk and are confident that the College has adequate resource5 to maintaln the day-ttrdav operatlon of the charity. It is the Governor5, policy to generate a modest surplus of Income over expenditure each year to safeBuard the future of the College and to fund working capital movemènt5. The Governors aim to generate an -investment surplus" (defined as surplus on unrestrirted funds before depreclatlon but excluding the profit or loss on the disposal of flxed assets) in excess of IO% of net fee income, This yèar the investment surplus was £854k17.2%1 and therefore the target was not mèt. The Governors are comfortable that the reason the target was not met was because of the support provided In year to famllies due to the Coronavlrus lockdown through the 7.5% dlscount against fees during the Spring Term lockdown, and the donation of £IOQk to the Ashvllle Foundation in order to provide fuiure support aBalnst hardshlp In the comin8 year. The Governors therefore believe that the use of the Investment surplu5 In year to provide support to Ashvllle families fultlls the stated purpose to safeguard thè future of the College. The Colle8e alms to contlnue to provide facllities of an excellent standard to enhance the educallonal, boardlng and sportin8 lifè of the pupils. The Governors alm to achleve thls throu8h a programme of on-going capltal Investment In exSstln8 and new facilities, whlch Inevltably increases the value of tanglble fixed assets at the Èxpense of free resèrve5. Th15 programme wlll be financed from the prO￿ed5 of fund rai51n8 aCtivltie5, available unrestrlcted funds and further bank borrowln& should the Governors feel that debt servicing could be prudently covered by fee Income and the surplus on tradin8 actbvltles. However, the deslre for contlnued investment in the College wlll be balanced against the need to ensure that the College has adequate and appropriate free and Ilquld reserves at all times; to that end the Colle80 intends to bulld up an investment fund over the next 5 to 10 years. Durln8 the year the College had a small number of unrestrl¢ted, deslgnated fund5'. In AuBU5t 2012 the Colle8e recelved a £IOk donatlon to be used to support puplls apptylng to elther CambridBe or Oxford Unlverslty. At the year end the fund had a value of £9,26912020'. £9,269). The Charity had two restrlcted funds In the year.. The College has a fund of £5k for three prizes to be awarded to puplls at the annual Speech Day. The Annual Fund was established for donatlons re¢eived from Old Ashvllllans and In relatlon tv the 1401h Annlversary. Donations Into this fund are likely to be spent In the year that they are donated or very soon thereafter. 19 Annual Report of the Governing Body acting as trustee for the charity, Ashville College, for the year ended 31 August Z021 (continued) Goin8 Concern The charitvs financial p051tion and performance has been outlined in the financlal review on the previous pages. The Governors have assessed projerted future incorne, expenditure and cash flows over the pèrlod to December 2022, and analysed the strength of the charity's reserves and Ilquld assets and it5 ability to wlthstand a materlal fall Sn In¢omSng resources. Consideratlon has been 8iven to proleded pupil numbers, pupll:tea¢her ratios and all known and projected costs in making this assessment. In previous years, the prbncipal uncertainty facing the Colle8e was pupil numbeis. Though this remalns the ¢ase, the Coronavlrus pandemic has also bought additional external uncertainties to the ColleEe, namely the risk of additional Government restrlctlons. le3ding to either a further c105ure of thè College, or Ilmiting the College's abllSty to serve overseas boarders. and the economlc downturn generate(J by the pandemlc. Excluding the impacts of the Coronaviru5 pandemlc there are also additional external factors that the College must consider, Including the economic uncertainty created by Brexit,. politital uncertalnty an¢J the potentSal Impact of a Labour government, whl¢h could lead to a reductlon In current charltable rellefs,. and anyfurtherfut(rre Increase In the Teachers, Penslon Scheme employer contrlbutlon5. However, the pupll numbers over the last year and into 2021122 glve the Governors re85surance that the College remalns In a relatively strong p051tlon and wlll stlll be able to meet the covenants associated with the College's loans. Desplte the challenges faced by the Coronavlrus lockdown, the College achieved a Surplus of 7.7% in 2020121 and commltted to a £IOOk donation to the Ashvllle Foundatlon, all whllst offerSn8 financlal dlsceunts to parents over the school closure period. Both the Governors and Management malntain a keen awareness of the risks and contlnuallv track, rnonltor and plan for known and anticlpated rlsks facing Ashvllle and the wlder Independent School sector. Th15, alongside very close mana6ement of the financlals and coupled with the revenue generatlft8 Potentlal of Ashvllle Trading In a p05t Coronavlrvs economy means the Governors remaln confident that the Colle6e remalns a Goln8 Concern. As at 31 August 2021 the College had net current liabllltles of £1.8m12020.. £1.Sml. Thls posltlon Is largely due to IhÈ recelpt in the year of payment5 on accounts of fees for the academlc year beginnlng I September 2021 which were £2.3m12020'. £1.7ml. Overall, Currenl Ilabllitie5 increase by £814k, while cash a150 increased by £663k, leadln8 to the Increased in net current IlabllStles. Though current Ilabllltles have Increased cash Is In a stron8 posltion at £2.3m12020.' £1.6ml. In the li8ht of all available evidence, the Governors have concluded that there is a reasonable expectailon that Ashville College and its subsi¢Jiarles have adequate re50urcès to continue thelr 3¢tlvlties for the foreseeable future. Accordinglyi they continue lo adopt the 8olng concern basis in preparing the financlal statements. 20 Annual Report of the Governlng Body acting as trustee for the charlty, Ashville College, for the year ended 31 August 2021 (continued) FUNDRAISING REVIEW As a registered charity the Charity is requlred to report on its fundraisin8 activltle5 in the financial year.
