The School has not engaged with third parties to raise fund5 and any direct approach to members of the public for funding support has been limiled to prents of pupils and alumni.

The Sthool'$ policy. which is reviewed annually by Governors, is to protect and build re$erves to ensure the School's continuing ability to provide first clas5 educational services; through steady recruith)ent of pupils at all stages of the School and by prudent budgetary control. The target is to hold three months, operating reserves within Cash and Investments. Due to the policy of reinvestsnent into fLxed assets and the running of the School. there are no free reserves at the year end, Goin8 Concern The Covernors have considered the School's cash position. sourLY$ ol income, funds available to the Sthool and planned expenditure, and modelled several scenarios and stress ¢ests including the current global political situation, the rising cost of living. additson of VAT on fee5 and removal OF Business Rates Relief and increasing inflation.

Sensitivity around these as$umptions has also been considered In thelr forecastlng. Results of this cash flow and &¢n51tivity analysis indicate that the cash re5ervcs of the charity are adequate to meet the charity's obligations as they fall du¢. Addiiionally, despite the wider uncertainty in the economyi the strength of the School's hlanee sheet Is such that the Governors consider there is no materlal uncertainty over the School's fmancial viability.

The Governors have consld¢red the School's cath position, sources of income. fund$ available to the School and planned expenditure, and modelled several scenario$ and stress tests including the current global political situation, the rising cost of living. and the addition of VAT to independenr school fees from January 2025. These scenarios con3ider reduced pupil number$. delayed fee payment, increased business rates and potential bad debts as well a$ Impact on eosts from the rneasures taken so far and mitigauoni that might be taken In future. Sensitivity around these assumption$ has also been considered in their forecasting. Results of this eash tlow and sensitivity an•lysis indicate that thc cash reserves of the charity are adequate to meet the charity's obligations as they fall due. Additionally, despite the wider uncertainty in the economy, the strength of the School'5 balanee sh¢et Is such that the Governors consider there ts no material uncertainty over the School's rinancial viability. Having regard to the above, the Governors believe it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis ofacci)unting in prepartng the financial statements. The functional currency of the School li con$idered to be GBP beuuse th*t is the currency of the prlmary economic environment in which the School operate$. Critical aceounting judgements and key •ourcu of ejtimation uncertainty In the application of the charity's •ccounting polielu, whl¢h are described in the note below, Trustees are required to make jUd￿mentS, e$timates, assumptions about the carryj'ng value$ of assets and liabilities that are not readily appareni from other sources. The estimate5 •nd underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual rewlts may dilTer frojn these c￿lmates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revision5 to 4ccounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised Ifthe revision affects only that period, or In the period of the revision •nd future periods ifthe revision alTects the current and futsire periods. In the view of the Trustee8, no assumptions concerning the futyjre or estimation uncertainty alTecting asse¢S and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adI￿stMent to their carrying amounts in the next financial year. 281P THE KING'S SCHOOL ELY Company Registration Number 02440509 Charity Number 802427 Accounting policies (continued) Basis of consolidation The financial statements consolldate thos¢ of the School and its wholly owned non.charilable subsldlary trading company: The King's School Ely Enrerprises Limited.

Although under normal clrcumstances these will be repaid over future years when the pupils complete their education at the Sehool, pupils can leave at earlier dates. The School does not therefore have an unconditional right to retain the individual deposits for at leasi 12 months after the balance sheet date and, in line with the requirements in FRS 102, the balance of the deposits held at 31 July 2024 have been included within current liabilities.

The scheme is a defined benefit scheme ID the UK. It is not possible for the Company to obtain sutricient inforniation ro enable it to aeeount for the scheme as a defined benefit schem¢. Therefore, it accounts for the scheme as a defined contribution scheme. The scheme is subject to the (unding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came in¢0 force on 30 December 2005. This, together with document$ issued by the Pensions Regulator and Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Finan¢ial Reporting Cowicil, set out the framework for funding defjned benefit occupational ￿nSIOn schemes in the Uk. Th¢ scheme 15 cla￿lfied as a 'last-man standing arrangement,. Therefore. the company is potentially liable for other partlcipating employers, obligations if those employers are unable to meet their share of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally requir¢d to meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from the scheme. A full actuarial valuation for the scheme was carrled out ar 30 September 2020. This valuation Showed assets of£800.3m, liabiliues of £831.9m and a deficit of£31.6m. To elirninatt this funding Jhortfall, the Trustee has askd the participatlng employers to pay additional contributions to the scheme as follows: Deficit contribution$ Frum l Aprll 2019 its JI 14nu*ry 2025..

Where the scheme is in d¢fi¢it and where the company has agreed to i deficit funding arrangement the cornpany recognises a liability lor this obligation. The amount recognised is the ner present value of the deficit reduction contributions payable under the agreement that relates to the deficit.
