CANBURY SCHOOL LIMITED

GOVERNORS' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

The governors present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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) (effective 1 January 2019)".

Objectives and activities

The principal object of the company as set out in the Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 1990 and revised in 2008 is as follows:

"To promote and provide for the advancement of education and in connection therewith to conduct, carry on, acquire and develop in the UK any boarding or day school or schools for the education of children of either or both sexes."

In furtherance of these aims Canbury School's Governors, as the charity trustees, have complied with the duty in the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's published general and relevant subsector guidance concerning the operation of the Public Benefit requirement under the Act.

Canbury School's principal activity continues to be the provision of a Day School for 11 - 18 year old boys and girls. The total number of pupils in the school in September 2019 was 62.

The School has been particularly active in the organisation of sports tournaments in cross country, football, netball, basketball, athletics and tennis. These are opened up for up to half a dozen neighbouring state and other specialist and independent schools.

This year, the value of bursaries awarded to Canbury pupils was £5,118.30. These awards were made from the designated fund. In assessing financial eligibility for bursaries the School employs a number of criteria that take account of the income and capital resources of the applicant. The Head, in consultation with the Bursar, and with advice from a specialist bursary assessment company where required, determines the level of support awarded. Individual eligibility is reassessed annually. The availability of bursaries is advertised on the School's website and in pupil recruitment advertisements.

Despite its readiness to make its premises available for the use of other schools and the local community, Canbury School is not able to do so due to the stringent planning restrictions applying to the site.

The School keeps staff up to date with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in line with its statutory obligations.

The educational performance of the school was demonstrated by the public examination results. In the summer of 2020, 55 % of students achieved 5 or more GCSEs including maths and English. Due to the COVID19 pandemic, all public examinations were cancelled and schools entered Centred Assessed Grades. However, the results were on target for this year's year group and deservedly awarded. This represented a significant increase in the overall academic results from the previous year, With the appropriate intervention and support from the School, all students obtained a place at their first choice of Sixth Form/College.

In-house and external training for staff continued throughout the year with courses including those to comply with regulatory requirements, such as safeguarding; Augmented Device training; ASD training; adoption training; Securing Excellence in Education Quality Inspection; Educational Visits Training (including Risk Assessment training); Examination Invigilation; ADHD training; Brain Injury Talk.

CANBURY SCHOOL LIMITED

GOVERNORS' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

Despite its readiness to make its premises available for the use of other schools and the local community, Canbury School is not able to do so due to the stringent planning restrictions applying to the site.

The School’s website, introduced in the summer of 2017, has been well-received and accessed by current and prospective parents and students.

The School’s minibus, purchased in the summer of 2017, has proved invaluable, regularly transporting pupils to PE fixtures and educational visits.

The School keeps staff up to date with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in line with its statutory obligations.

Achievements and performance

COVID19 Pandemic 2020

The end of spring term was horrendous - physically and emotionally. Over the final five days the Senior Leadership Team simultaneously shut down the school whilst designing and creating a remote teaching and learning system that could work for both staff and students. Additional server capacity was purchased, Safeguarding protocols were written, emails were sent to parents only to be changed again by Government advice on a frequent basis, and over the final two days of the school being open, staff taught the children how to use the new system. Amidst this, the staff were holding the students up as they fell to pieces because their school wasn’t going to be open anymore. Despite the impact of Covid-19 on the students’ mental health and the fact that safeguarding was managed remotely, the School is relieved that there were no significant incidents.

The remote system was extraordinarily successful. The School was able to lift the entire curriculum barring PE, with learning support in class and 1:1 support as well as additional therapies via remote access.

All parents enthused about how amazing it was, the continuity for the children was maintained and the fact that they did not have to physically teach our students themselves. The School had numerous emails of thanks and praise.

The School continued with whole school assemblies, clubs, House events, introduced new clubs like the cooking club, and even held our Canbury Virtual Quiz Night on the last day of the summer half term.

All of the staff were utterly amazing delivering this form of teaching and supporting, which was extremely challenging and required a huge amount of additional planning.

The Senior Leadership Team were exceptional in going above and beyond to ensure all the educational, legal and safeguarding protocols were in place. All of them worked throughout the Easter and half term holidays, weekends and long days to ensure the school remained operational. They remained available to students and parents throughout to ensure their continued wellbeing and safeguarding.

Risk assessments were completed on all students every three weeks with additional wellbeing surveys of students, parents and staff conducted.

The students, many of whom find change difficult, were utterly marvellous and showed great resilience in ‘getting on with it’ with a minimum of fuss and drama. Some of them, who have acute social anxiety or OCD, actually flourished with the remote system.

The school remained open on site for the most vulnerable students throughout the national lockdown in the summer term of 2020.

CANBURY SCHOOL LIMITED

GOVERNORS' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

Canbury School continues to provide places for pupils with an Education Healthcare Plan (EHCP). The School provides specialist assistance to those pupils with special educational needs and to those who join our English for Speakers of Other Languages course.

Canbury School continues to develop wider community links. In addition to funds raised for a local charity each year, the Sports Department at the school is very active in and organises competitions with other local schools. Due to stringent planning restrictions, the school facilities cannot be offered to other organisations for their use when the school is not using them.

The staff, pupils and parents worked hard this year to raise a total in excess of £557,28 for the annual local charity, which this year was Help the Koala, Save the Children, Children in Need, Macmillan cancer research and Jeans 4 Genes. This money was raised through cake sales, online quizzes and mufti days.

Investment performance this year yielded a capital return of -4.0 (2019: 0.5%) and an income return of 4.0%

(2019: 4.1%). The calculations were performed as follows:

Capital return = {profit on investments sold + change in market value of investments)/cost of investments brought forward %

Income return= (dividends & interest received)/market value of investments brought forward %

Financial review

The Statement of Financial Activities shows net incoming resources of £317,972 (2019: £100,246). Having taken account of net (losses)/gains on investments of £14,455 (2019: (£1,609)), the net movement in funds amounts to a surplus of £303,517 (2019: £101,855).

Income generated annually can be expended as required.

A Designated Fund is available to meet the cost of bursaries that are awarded at the discretion of the Head.

It is the policy of the charity that Unrestricted Funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months’ expenditure.

The Governors are empowered to invest monies on behalf of the company from the Endowment Fund in such securities or property etc. as may be thought fit. In so doing the Governors may delegate to any company or firm of repute which is an authorised person for the purposes of the Financial Services Act, the power to buy and sell investments on behalf of the company in accordance with the agreed investment policy.

The investment objective of the Governors is to continue to maximise total return through diversified investment both within the UK and overseas in equities, fixed income securities and/or cash. The performance of the company's investment managers is monitored on a regular basis.

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months’ expenditure. The governors consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

The Board, with assistance from the Senior Leadership Team and the sub-committees, continues to keep the School's activities under review, particularly with regard to any major risks that may arise from time to time as well as the systems and procedures established to manage them. They monitor the effectiveness of the system of internal controls and other viable means, including insurance cover where appropriate, by which those risks already identified can best be mitigated.

Canbury School co-operates with many local charities in an ongoing endeavour to widen public access to the education Canbury can provide and to awaken in the pupils, in the public interest, an awareness of the social context of the all-round education they receive.

CANBURY SCHOOL LIMITED

GOVERNORS' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

Canbury School's Board of Governors is responsible for the management of the risks faced by the School. Risks are identified, assessed and controls established throughout the year. A formal review of the charity's risk management processes is undertaken on an annual basis.

The key controls used by the charity include: - Formal agendas for all Committee and Board activity; - Detailed terms of reference for all Committees; - Comprehensive strategic planning, budgeting and management accounting; - Established organisational structure and lines of reporting; - Formal written policies; - Clear authorisation and approval levels, and Vetting procedures as required by law for the protection of the vulnerable.

Through the risk management processes established for the School, the Governors are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where necessary. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

Our key objective for the future remains the same as reported above for this year.

Future plans under consideration include the evaluation of the effectiveness of, and extension of, the post-16 curriculum; and the absorption of IT across the curriculum, which will include significant expenditure on the upgrade of IT and IT training. It must be noted that all plans for 2019-20 and 2020-21 have been seriously disrupted by Covid-19.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

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

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the governors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the governors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

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

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Fees represents school fees receivable, together with the recovery of certain direct costs. Income in respect of Autumn 201 6 fees invoiced prior to 31 August 201 6 is deferred. Income receivable in respect of the endowment fund is designated income.

1.5 Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

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.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Freehold Building 0% Freehold buildings, Property improvements 20% straight line Plant and machinery IT: 25% straight line; Office equipment and furniture 25% reducing balance Freehold improvements 25% reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.7 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.13 Resources Expended

Liabilities are recognised where either a legal or constructive obligation exists.

Charitable expenditure comprises the costs of running the school. This includes departmental expenses together with the cost of teaching staff.

Management and administration costs include the costs of running the school building together with administration staff costs and other costs not directly associated with teaching.

1.14 Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is written off to the SOFA as incurred and is disclosed in the same manner as the expense to which it relates.

1.15 Leases

Rental costs under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activity in equal amounts over the period of the leases.

Interest on finance leases are charged to the statement of financial activity whilst capital repayments are debited to the balance sheet reducing the liabiility.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the governors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The governors consider that the market value of freehold land and buildings is materially greater than the cost of those buildings. The market value cannot be easily quantified due to alterations made over time to make the building suitable for its specialised use as a school.

18 Retirement benefit schemes

Defined contribution schemes

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund.

The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the company to the fund. The organisation also participates as a member of a group pension, the Teacher's Pension Scheme (TPS). Contributions to the scheme are determined by the Government Actuary every five years using normal actuarial principles. The scheme is a statutory, contributory, final salary scheme and the company is unable to identify its share of underlying assets and liabilities. Consequently, the charity has accounted for the contributions as if it were a defined contribution scheme.

The charge to profit or loss in respect of defined contribution schemes was £129,131 (2019 - £91,740).
