CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
- 2 -

Great Ballard has enjoyed another successful year of ongoing growth and development made all the more poignant by the convergence of our Centenary Year with the school’s first ever GCSE cohort. We enjoyed centenary celebrations which ranged from 100km walks to art installations and from academic projects to musical compositions and were delighted to welcome back hundreds of our alumni to our tea party in September. As we approached those historic summer exams, we were heartened by the way past and present came together to remind us about everything that makes GB special.

Achievements and performance

Our first GCSE cohort did themselves proud this summer, all meeting or exceeding expectations and most finishing with tales to tell and stories of growth or rehabilitation to celebrate. 94% achieved Grades 1-9, with 83% achieving grades 4 and above. While the group scores themselves were above the national average, it was the individual progress made that was so heartwarming. In a very short space of time, this year group grew sevenfold without ever losing the sense of what makes GB special. We can feel proud of them in so many ways and their historic contribution to the school will not be quickly forgotten.

 

The curriculum continues to evolve and we remain excited by the breadth of the offering, its focus on wellbeing (in line with the school’s motto: “conquer yourself, conquer anything”) and the way it prepares students for life beyond school. The Great Ballard Diploma has evolved to include a Microsoft qualification in ICT, cookery and gardening, training in leadership, project qualification, a financial qualification from the London Institute of Banking & Finance and a focus on personal health and regulation as delivered through MAP (Mental Academic Physical). We also teach Learning to Learn which helps us to link Great Outdoors (Our Forest School) with Duke of Edinburgh and it is notable that almost 100% of our senior year groups are signed up for this qualification.  An increasing focus on our enterprise challenge has made it a key focus of our school. Senior classes start running their own businesses from Year 7 onwards and they learn practical skills, while earning real world profits across the year. They receive training from volunteer parents in our seven key business skills and also learn to put together CVs and undergo job interviews.

 

The introduction of GCSE has led to a tightening of academic screws throughout the school. 72% of all students made expected or more than expected progress in English this year with 68% making the same progress in Maths and 76% in Science. 65% of SEN students made expected or better than expected progress in English. We achieved especially excellent results in the UK Maths Challenge. We awarded 30 scholarships to our pupils ranging from 11+ to 15+ with 10 for sport, 7 across academic areas and 7 across the creative arts. There were 4 Brian Jay all round awards and 2 service and leadership scholarships.

 

We have enjoyed ten residentials, including one to Valencia and the school’s first ski trip for many years. All children have the chance to take part in an end of year residential as part of their GB diplomas. Other educational trips included different places of worship and a tour of Parliament.

 

Our Performing Arts department has had another busy year with the successful mental-health-based show Brainstorm and some truly wonderful Christmas shows in Pre-Prep.  Music has delivered a regular series of concerts – formal and informal – with performances from students across all sections of the school.  Performances at the O2 arena, carols round the tree and at our Arundel Christmas service showed ongoing ambition and improvement and results from LAMDA and the Chichester & Worthing festivals were again outstanding. Our sporting fixture list continues to grow and our ability to compete has increased swiftly with our numbers. But the focus on health and sport for all remains ever strong.

 

Service and Leadership dinners continue to be successful, with speakers from the worlds of sport, business and charity all inspiring our student leaders. House competition continues to thrive, with this year seeing a really successful House Music competition, our biggest ever sports days and the ever-popular end of year House Quiz.

Financial review

Firstly, I would like to thank the charitable trust that continues to assist our growth path and provides funding which supports the school facilities and advances the education of our pupils.

The year ended with total turnover up by £586,553 or 21%, which mainly reflects the continued pupil gains from the addition of our senior school. Overall pupil recruitment and retention across the school remained very strong, with a year-on-year pupil gain of 58 pupils or 35%. On top of major refurbishments during the year we also invested £184,312 capital expenditure in facilities and added computer equipment, which resulted in an operating loss of -£154,344 for the year compared to the previous year’s net loss of £11,662 (in part due to the planned reduction in donation from an educational charity). Cash at the bank increased by £301,728 to £477,620 (due to fees received in advance). The average monthly number of full and part time employees (including directors) rose from 62 to 88 during the year. The school prepares for the possible challenge of our Parents having to face a future imposition of VAT being added to their school fees. We continue to work on a strategic business plan that provides for continued growth whilst maintaining the family ethos and culture of the school which is so important to us.

 

Future developments

We moved into the top floor of the main building this year providing new classrooms, common rooms and study spaces for our growing senior school. Year 3 took up residence in a new and better suited classroom and new offices and common rooms were provided for staff in Pre-Prep. We are now hoping to be making use of the Stable block as our new Art Studio by September 24, with draft planning permission in place for further extension. Treetops, our Forest School area, grows apace with new buildings, running water with drainage and fencing built with the help of our older students. Similar progress has been seen in the school gardens. Much work has been done to improve our car parking arrangements and driveway.

 

Governance

The Board of Governance is now made up of my son, Christopher and I and we are supported by 3 other members. The board meet once a month to look at all aspects of school life. We also have an Advisory board who meet once a term and look at the strategic options open to us so that we continue to grow and meet the needs of our pupils and parents.

 

Our parent body continues to be very supportive. The Friends of Great Ballard’s (FOGB) raise money to buy additional extras for the school and, for this, we are very grateful.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF GREAT BALLARD SCHOOL LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Great Ballard School Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 August 2024 which comprise , the balance sheet 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 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 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 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 directors 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 annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors 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. 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 our audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' 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:

 

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors 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 directors 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 directors are responsible for assessing the 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 directors either intend to liquidate the 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.

GREAT BALLARD SCHOOL LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF GREAT BALLARD SCHOOL LIMITED (CONTINUED)
- 6 -

Our approach was as follows:

 

 

Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Where the risk was considered to be higher, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk. These procedures included: testing manual journals; reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation; performing analytical procedures; and enquiring of management, and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from fraud or error.

 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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.

Accounting policies
Company information

Great Ballard School Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Eartham House, Eartham, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18 0LR.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of 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.

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

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Going concern

As set out in the Directors’ Responsibilities Statement on page 6, in preparing these financial statements the directors are required to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The business of the company is that of operating as an independent school and in satisfaction of this responsibility the directors have reviewed in detail the cash flow projections of the school which are updated weekly, and considered the school’s ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

 

Whilst the school has continued to incur operating losses, we have favorable increases in pupil numbers and fee income which is only expected to increase over the next year helped by the additional senior classes. Therefore the directors are confident that the school will now return to an operating surplus. The increase in operating loss this year was due to the planned reduction in donation from an educational charity. This reduction in support indicates progress towards self-sufficiency.

 

The school has no bank lending facilities in place and operates entirely from its bank current account to meet its commitments as they fall due. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare these financial statements on a going concern basis.

 

1.3
Turnover
Turnover represents amounts receivable to the school for services provided during the period.  This includes school fees receivable and charges for services and use of the premises, less any allowances and bursaries granted by the school. Turnover also includes grants of a revenue nature received from educational charities, which are recognised when it is reasonable to expect the grant will be received and that all the related conditions will be met.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 10 -
1.4
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.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Land and buildings Freehold
2% / 10% straight line
Plant and machinery
20% reducing balance / 5% straight line
Computer equipment
25% reducing balance
Motor vehicles
20% 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 credited or charged to profit or loss.

1.5
Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting period end date, the company 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). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

1.6
Stocks
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Net realisable value is based on selling price less anticipated costs to completion and selling costs.
1.7
Cash at bank and in hand

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and 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.

1.8
Financial instruments

The company 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 company's balance sheet when the company 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.

Accounting policies

- 11 -
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.

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans and loans from shareholders that are classified as debt, 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 payments 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 business 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.

1.9
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognised in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

1.10
Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

 

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 company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11
Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

1.12

Pensions

The company contributes to pension schemes on behalf of its teaching and non-teaching staff. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable. The funds of the schemes are administered by trustees and are separate from the company.

1.13

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more tax.

 

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the previous periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

 

A net deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore recognised only to the extent that, on the basis of all available evidence, it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.

 

If full provision for deferred tax was made in these accounts, there would be an asset at 31 August 2024 of £262,464 (2023: £250,296).

2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors 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.

 

In the opinion of the directors there are no significant judgements or areas of estimation uncertainty.
