Achievements and performance

a. KEY FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The total number of students on roll in the period ended 31 August 2016 numbered 281. From 1 September2014 the Academy has a PAN (Pupil Admissions Number) each year of 87. The Governing Body remainscommitted to achieving, as a minimum, 70 pupils per year group.

The Academy’s key financial performance indicator is that it should maintain a positive balance in its annualaccounts such that income, plus reserves, should exceed expenditure whilst maintaining a reserves balancewithin the range of 10-20% of annual operating costs.

b. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES

The 2016 cohort of pupils secured excellent results in their GCSEs, reflecting a very positive approach to theirstudies and the very effective teaching and support of their teachers. We enhanced the curriculum by providinga varied diet of interventions including residential study weekends. These were highly valued by the pupils andtheir parents.

24% of all grades secured were at the highest A/A* grades and 69% of grades were A*-C. Early indicationsshow that the new Progress 8 measure for these pupils is +0.36 which puts the school above averagenationally. This measure indicates that pupils at Stradbroke High School make very good progress between theend of KS2 and the end of KS4.

We are delighted that pupils of all abilities are able to make the best of their potential whilst in our care. We wishthese pupils the very best of luck as many of them go on to follow A levels and other level 3 courses in their firstchoice institutions. Others have successfully secured other college places or apprenticeships.

Our careful tracking of the progress of pupils in other cohorts indicate that the vast majority are makingoutstanding progress and we are confident that their ultimate results will reflect their ability, hard work and theirvery positive attitudes to learning. We are looking forward to supporting them with outstanding teaching and welltargeted interventions.

Further details regarding the adoption ofthe going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

b. SUMMARY

In year expenditure, including depreciation of £193,011, exceeded income by £139,895. In addition, anactuarial loss of £265,000 was incurred in the year resulting in an overall reduction in net assets of £404,895.

At 31 August 2016 the Academy had net current assets of £374,672.

c. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Academy have been documented and listed on a risk register.The risks have been categorized and include risks in the following areas: strategic, public profile, governingbody organization, management information, human resources, income, supplier, employee legislation,environmental legislation, financial reporting, charities legislation, tax legislation, data protection act, overallfinancial control and financial systems.

The risk management process is described in more detail later in the report. The actuarial deficits applicable toTeachers Pension Scheme and LGPS are discussed in note 25 of the financial statements.

d. RESERVES POLICY

The Governing Body of the Academy has agreed at present that it aims to maintain a cash reserve of 10 - 20%of annual operating costs. 10 - 20% of annual operating costs currently equates to £225,000 - £450,000. TheAcademy had cash reserves (excluding cash held within the restricted fixed asset fund) of £453,005 and freereserves of £355,286 as at 31 August 2016.

GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

REVIEW OF VALUE FOR MONEY

As Accounting Officer, the Headteacher has responsibility for ensuring that the academy delivers good value inthe use of public resources. The Accounting Officer understands that value for money refers to the educationaland wider societal outcomes achieved in return for the taxpayer resources received.

The Accounting Officer considers how the academy’s use of its resources has provided good value for moneyduring each academic year, and reports to the board of trustees where value for money can be improved,including the use of benchmarking data where appropriate. The Accounting Officer for the academy hasdelivered improved value for money during the year by:

• The school was successful in a bid to the Academies Capital Maintenance Fund. Funding was used to fund a project to upgrade the fire system and work was completed during the year. A project manager employed as part of the works ensured the project was completed on time and within budget.

• As detailed in the achievement and performance section, the 2016 cohort of pupils secured excellent results in their GCSEs, reflecting a very positive approach to their studies and the very effective teaching and support of their teachers. Funds were used to enhance the curriculum by providing a varied diet of interventions including residential study weekends. These were highly valued by the pupils and their parents.

• In addition Stradbroke High School has adopted and adheres to a Statement of Best Value Policy. This was last reviewed and renewed in the summer term of 2015. The policy reflects the accountability of the governing body in ensuring value for money is obtained by the school, however to ensure this requirement is fulfilled the policy is disseminated throughout the entire school via the chief accounting officer and is reflected in the school’s finance policy. The policy sets out how the school states it will ensure best value is achieved.

THE PURPOSE OF THE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROL

The system of internal control is designed to manage risk to a reasonable level rather than to eliminate all risk offailure to achieve policies, aims and objectives; it can therefore only provide reasonable and not absoluteassurance of effectiveness. The system of internal control is based on an ongoing process designed to identifyand prioritise the risks to the achievement of academy policies, aims and objectives, to evaluate the likelihood ofthose risks being realised and the impact should they be realised, and to manage them efficiently, effectivelyand economically. The system of internal control has been in place in Stradbroke High School for the year 1September 2015 to 31 August 2016 and up to the date of approval of the annual report and financialstatements.

CAPACITY TO HANDLE RISK

The board of trustees has reviewed the key risks to which the academy is exposed together with the operating,financial and compliance controls that have been implemented to mitigate those risks. The board of trustees isof the view that there is a formal ongoing process for identifying, evaluating and managing the academy'ssignificant risks, that has been in place for the year 1 September 2015 to 31 August 2016 and up to the date ofapproval of the annual report and financial statements. This process is regularly reviewed by the board oftrustees.

GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

THE RISK AND CONTROL FRAMEWORK

The academy’s system of internal financial control is based on a framework of regular management informationand administrative procedures including the segregation of duties and a system of delegation andaccountability. In particular, it includes:

comprehensive budgeting and monitoring systems with an annual budget and periodic financial reports

which are reviewed and agreed by the board of trustees;

regular reviews by the Finance Committee of reports which indicate financial performance against the

forecasts and of major purchase plans, capital works and expenditure programmes;

setting targets to measure financial and other performance;

clearly defined purchasing (asset purchase or capital investment) guidelines.

delegation of authority and segregation of duties;

identification and management of risks.

The board of trustees has considered the need for a specific internal audit function and has decided to appointSchools' Choice as internal auditor.

The internal auditor's role includes giving advice on financial matters and performing a range of checks on theacademy's financial systems. On a tri-annual basis, the internal auditor reports to the board of trustees on theoperation of the systems of control and on the discharge of the board of trustees' financial responsibilities.

In particular the checks carried out in the current period included:• a review of Governance and the budget cycle• testing of payroll, inventory, security and insurance• testing of purchasing, income and petty cash controls• a review of the monitoring and review process, tax and data security.

REVIEW OF EFFECTIVENESS

As Accounting Officer, the Headteacher has responsibility for reviewing the effectiveness of the system ofinternal control. During the year in question the review has been informed by:

the work of the internal auditor;

the work of the external auditors;

the financial management and governance self-assessment process;

the work of the executive managers within the academy who have responsibility for the development and

maintenance of the internal control framework.

The Accounting Officer has been advised of the implications of the result of their review of the system of internalcontrol by the Finance Committee and a plan to address weaknesses and ensure continuous improvement ofthe system is in place.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explainthe charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial positionof the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the CompaniesAct 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence fortaking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that in its conduct and operation the charitable company appliesfinancial and other controls, which conform with the requirements both of propriety and of good financialmanagement. They are also responsible for ensuring grants received from the EFA/DfE have been applied forthe purposes intended.

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial informationincluded on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation anddissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING AUDITORS' ASSURANCE REPORT ON REGULARITY TO STRADBROKEHIGH SCHOOL AND THE EDUCATION FUNDING AGENCY

In accordance with the terms of our engagement letter dated 24 September 2013 and further to therequirements of the Education Funding Agency (EFA) as included in the Academies Accounts Direction 2015 to2016, we have carried out an engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether the expenditure disbursedand income received by Stradbroke High School during the year 1 September 2015 to 31 August 2016 havebeen applied to the purposes identified by Parliament and the financial transactions conform to the authoritieswhich govern them.

This report is made solely to Stradbroke High School and the EFA in accordance with the terms of ourengagement letter. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to Stradbroke High School and theEFA those matters we are required to state in a report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permittedby law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than Stradbroke High School and the EFA,for our work, for this report, or for the conclusion we have formed.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF STRADBROKE HIGH SCHOOL'S ACCOUNTING OFFICER ANDTHE REPORTING AUDITORS

The accounting officer is responsible, under the requirements of Stradbroke High School's funding agreementwith the Secretary of State for Education dated 28 February 2012, and the Academies Financial Handbookextant from 1 September 2015, for ensuring that expenditure disbursed and income received is applied for thepurposes intended by Parliament and the financial transactions conform to the authorities which govern them.

Our responsibilities for this engagement are established in the United Kingdom by our profession's ethicalguidance and are to obtain limited assurance and report in accordance with our engagement letter and therequirements of the Academies Accounts Direction 2015 to 2016. We report to you whether anything has cometo our attention in carrying out our work which suggests that in all material respects, expenditure disbursed andincome received during the year 1 September 2015 to 31 August 2016 have not been applied to purposesintended by Parliament or that the financial transactions do not conform to the authorities which govern them.

APPROACH

We conducted our engagement in accordance with the Academies Accounts Direction 2015 to 2016 issued bythe EFA. We performed a limited assurance engagement as defined in our engagement letter.

The objective of a limited assurance engagement is to perform such procedures as to obtain information andexplanations in order to provide us with sufficient appropriate evidence to express a negative conclusion onregularity.

A limited assurance engagement is more limited in scope than a reasonable assurance engagement andconsequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters thatmight be identified in a reasonable assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express a positive opinion.

Our engagement includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the regularity and propriety ofthe academy's income and expenditure.

The work undertaken to draw our conclusions includes:• a review of Governing Body and committee meeting minutes• a review of the work performed by the internal auditors• testing a sample of payroll payments to staff• testing a sample of payments to suppliers• testing a sample of grants received and other income streams• evaluating the control environment.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2016

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the principal accounting policies adopted (which have been applied consistently,except where noted), judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty, is set out below.

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements of the academy trust, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, havebeen prepared under the historical cost convention in accordance with the Financial ReportingStandard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Accounting and Reporting byCharities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts inaccordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Academies Accounts Direction 2015 to 2016 issued by EFA,the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006.

Stradbroke High School constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

First time adoption of FRS 102

These financial statements are the first financial statements of Stradbroke High School prepared inaccordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable inthe UK and Republic of Ireland’ (FRS 102) and the Charities SORP 2015 (SORP 2015). Thefinancial statements of Stradbroke High School for the year ended 31 August 2015 were prepared inaccordance with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (‘UK GAAP’) and SORP 2005.

Some of the FRS 102 recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements andaccounting policy choices differ from previous UK GAAP. Consequently, the Trustees haveamended certain accounting policies to comply with FRS 102 and SORP 2015.

Reconciliations to previous UK GAAP for the comparative figures are included in note 29.

1.2 Fund accounting

Unrestricted income funds represent those resources which may be used towards meeting any ofthe charitable objects of the academy at the discretion of the Trustees.

Restricted fixed asset funds are resources which are to be applied to specific capital purposesimposed by funders where the asset acquired or created is held for a specific purpose.

Restricted general funds comprise all other restricted funds received with restrictions imposed by thefunder and include grants from the Education Funding Agency.

STRADBROKE HIGH SCHOOL

(A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2016

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.3 Income

All income is recognised once the academy has entitlement to the income, it is probable that theincome will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditureaccount on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but notexpended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income isreceived in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors asdeferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

General Annual Grant is recognised in full in the Statement of financial activities incorporatingincome and expenditure account in the year for which it is receivable and any abatement in respectof the period is deducted from income and recognised as a liability. Capital grants are recognisedwhen there is entitlement and are not deferred over the life of the asset on which they are expended.Unspent amounts of capital grant are reflected in the balance in the restricted fixed asset fund.

Donations are recognised on a receivable basis where there is certainty of receipt and the amountcan be reliably measured.

Other income, including the hire of facilities, is recognised in the period in which it is receivable andto the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economicbenefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required insettlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified byactivity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs,including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a singleactivity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activityand support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between thoseactivities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on thebasis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the academy trust’s educationaloperations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the academy trustapportioned to charitable activities.

All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1.5 Going concern

The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are anymaterial uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability ofthe academy to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of aperiod of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements andhave concluded that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existencefor the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the academy trust’s ability tocontinue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting inpreparing the financial statements..

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2016

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised.

Where tangible fixed assets have been acquired with the aid of specific grants, either from thegovernment or from the private sector, they are included in the Balance sheet at cost anddepreciated over their expected useful economic life. Where there are specific conditions attachedto the funding requiring the continued use of the asset, the related grants are credited to a restrictedfixed asset fund in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditureaccount and carried forward in the Balance sheet. Depreciation on the relevant assets is chargeddirectly to the restricted fixed asset fund in the Statement of financial activities incorporating incomeand expenditure account. Where tangible fixed assets have been acquired with unrestricted funds,depreciation on such assets is charged to the unrestricted fund.

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicatethat the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carryingvalue of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairmentlosses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditureaccount.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimatedresidual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

L/Term Leasehold Property - 5% straight linePlant and machinery - 5% - 20% straight lineFixtures and fittings - 10% straight lineComputer equipment - 33.3% straight line

On 1 March 2012, the Academy became party to a lease agreement with Suffolk County Council forthe school property. The lease is for a period of 125 years and substantially all the risks and rewardsof ownership have been transferred to the Academy for £NIL rental. As such the school property wasrecognised as a fixed asset in the Balance Sheet for the period ended 31 August 2012 at adepreciated replacement cost of £2,785,681 (the corresponding entry was recognised as voluntaryincome). The depreciated replacement cost was based upon a valuation performed by DTZ at 31August 2012.

1.7 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measuredreliably by the academy; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

1.8 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.9 Cash at Bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a shortmaturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similaraccount.

1.10 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a pastevent, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and theamount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that theacademy anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advancedpayments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate ofthe amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money ismaterial, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-taxdiscount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount isrecognised within interest payable and similar charges.

1.11 Taxation

The academy is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.Accordingly, the academy is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gainsreceived within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains areapplied exclusively to charitable purposes.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.12 Pensions

Retirement benefits to employees of the academy are provided by the Teachers' Pension Scheme("TPS") and the Local Government Pension Scheme ("LGPS"). These are defined benefit schemesand the assets are held separately from those of the academy.

The TPS is an unfunded scheme and contributions are calculated so as to spread the cost ofpensions over employees’ working lives with the academy in such a way that the pension cost is asubstantially level percentage of current and future pensionable payroll. The contributions aredetermined by the Government Actuary on the basis of quadrennial valuations using a prospectiveunit credit method. As stated in note 25, the TPS is a multi-employer scheme and there isinsufficient information available to use defined benefit accounting. The TPS is therefore treated asa defined contribution scheme for accounting purposes and the contributions recognised in theperiod to which they relate.

The LGPS is a funded scheme and the assets are held separately from those of the academy trustin separate trustee administered funds. Pension scheme assets are measured at fair value andliabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit credit method and discountedat a rate equivalent to the current rate of return on a high quality corporate bond of equivalent termand currency to the liabilities. The actuarial valuations are obtained at least triennially and areupdated at each Balance sheet date. The amounts charged to operating surplus are the currentservice costs and the costs of scheme introductions, benefit changes, settlements and curtailments.They are included as part of staff costs as incurred. Net interest on the net defined benefitliability/asset is also recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income andexpenditure account and comprises the interest cost on the defined benefit obligation and interestincome on the scheme assets, calculated by multiplying the fair value of the scheme assets at thebeginning of the period by the rate used to discount the benefit obligations. The difference betweenthe interest income on the scheme assets and the actual return on the scheme assets is recognisedin other recognised gains and losses.

Actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in other recognised gains and losses.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.13 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience andother factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under thecircumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The academy trust makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resultingaccounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to thecarrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

The present value of the Local Government Pension Scheme defined benefit liability depends on anumber of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a variety of assumptions. Theassumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for pensions include the discount rate. Anychanges in these assumptions, which are disclosed in note 25, will impact the carrying amount of thepension liability. Furthermore a roll forward approach which projects results from the latest fullactuarial valuation performed at 31 March 2013 has been used by the actuary in valuing thepensions liability at 31 August 2016. Any differences between the figures derived from the rollforward approach and a full actuarial valuation would impact on the carrying amount of the pensionliability.

The aim of the review is to specify thelevel of future contributions. Actuarial scheme valuations are dependent on assumptions about the valueof future costs, design of benefits and many other factors. The latest actuarial valuation of the TPS wascarried out as at 31 March 2012 and in accordance with the Public Service Pensions (Valuations andEmployer Cost Cap) Directions 2014. The valuation report was published by the Department forEducation on 9 June 2014. The key elements of the valuation and subsequent consultation are:

employer contribution rates set at 16.48% of pensionable pay, including a 0.08% employeradministration charge (currently 14.1%)

total scheme liabilities (pensions currently in payment and the estimated cost of future benefits) forservice to the effective date of £191,500 million, and notional assets (estimated future contributionstogether with the notional investments held at the valuation date) of £176,600 million giving a notionalpast service deficit of £14,900 million

an employer cost cap of 10.9% of pensionable pay will be applied to future valuations

the assumed real rate of return is 3.0% in excess of prices and 2% in excess of earnings. The rate ofreal earnings growth is assumed to be 2.75%. The assumed nominal rate of return is 5.06%.

During the previous year the employer contribution rate was 14.1%. The TPS valuation for 2012determined an employer rate of 16.4%, which was payable from September 2015. The next valuation ofthe TPS will be as at March 2016, whereupon the employer contribution rate is expected to bereassessed and will be payable from 1 April 2019.

The employer’s pension costs paid to TPS in the period amounted to £144,691 (2015 - £126,009).

A copy of the valuation report and supporting documentation is on the Teachers’ Pensions website(www.teacherspensions.co.uk/news/employers/2014/06/publication-of-the-valuation-report.aspx).

Under the definitions set out in FRS 102, the TPS is a multi-employer pension scheme. The trust hasaccounted for its contributions to the scheme as if it were a defined contribution scheme. The trust hasset out above the information available on the scheme.
