Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 31 August 2025

1. | Statutory information

| The New Model School Company Ltd. is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. | Accounting policies

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

| The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

| Going Concern

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

| Turnover

| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

| The majority of the Company's revenue is derived from tuition fees, together with fees for ancillary education-related services. The Company's performance obligations in respect of these revenue streams are delivered evenly over time, typically a school term or an academic year, and so revenue is recognised on this basis with fees initially recognised as deferred income and then transferred to the statement of comprehensive income over the period of time to which the fees relate.

| Certain revenue streams, including registration fees, transportation fees and the retention of non-refundable deposits, are recognised at the point in time at which the Company has no further performance obligations.

| Interest income

| Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

| Tangible fixed assets

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

| Improvements to property | - | Straight line over the life of the lease

| Fixtures and fittings | - | 15% on cost

| Computer equipment | - | 20% on cost

| All fixed assets are recorded at cost or valuation.

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

for the year ended 31 August 2025

2. | Accounting policies - continued

| Hire purchase and leasing commitments

| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

| Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year

| Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses

| Pensions

| Defined contribution pension plan

| The Company operates two defined contribution plans for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

| The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in other creditors as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

| Defined benefit pension plan

| The Company also participates in another, separate, pension plan for certain of its employees. Qualifying teachers are enrolled into the Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) administered by the Teachers' Pension Agency. Contributions to the scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Position as they fall due. The TPS is an unfunded scheme and although it has some of the characteristics of a defined benefit scheme, as it is a multi-employer scheme the Company accounts for the plan as if it were a defined contribution scheme. Contributions on a 'pay as you go' basis are credited to the Exchequer under arrangements governed by the Superannuation Act 1972. Actuarial valuations are carried out by Government's Actuary Department. Under the definitions set out in FRS 102 the TPS is a multi-employer plan.

| Included within other creditors are deposits of £695,034 (2024 - £644,242) which relate to interest free deposits received from parents for their child to attend the school. They are repayable on the child leaving, which from experience the Company has found could be at any time during their schooling, therefore parent deposits are classified as falling due within one year.

| Included within accruals and deferred income are fees in advance of £1,429,990 (2024 - £2,180,729) received for the Autumn, Spring and Summer terms (£1,409,405, £10,292 and £10,293 respectively) following the year end.

10. | Contingent liabilities

| The Company set aside funds to cover a bank guarantee required by the Teachers' Pension Scheme. As at 31 August 2025 the amount of the potential liability associated with this guarantee was £72,000 (2024 - £72,000).

11. | Pension commitments

| The Company operates two defined contribution pension schemes. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company in independently administered funds. The Company participates in the Teachers' Pension Scheme (The TPS) for certain qualifying employees.

| The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company to the funds and amounted to £379,875 (2024 - £321,580). Contributions totalling £42,393 (2024 - £45,733) were payable to the funds at the reporting date and are included in creditors.

| The TPS is an unfunded multi-employer defined benefits pension scheme governed by The Teachers' Pensions Regulations 2010 (as amended) and The Teachers' Pension Scheme Regulations 2014 (as amended). Members contribute on a "pay as you go" basis with contributions from members and the employer being credited to the Exchequer. Retirement and other pension benefits are paid by public funds provided by Parliament.

| The employer contribution rate is set by the Secretary of State following scheme valuations undertaken by the Government Actuary's Department. The most recent actuarial valuation of the TPS was prepared as at 31 March 2020 and the Valuation Report, which was published in October 2023. The valuation report shows notional assets of £222.2bn and liabilities of £262bn, resulting in a scheme deficit of £39.8bn.

| The employer contribution rate for the TPS is 28.6% and employers are also required to pay a scheme administration levy of 0.08% giving a total employer contribution rate of 28.68%.
