THE MEAD SCHOOL LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03825123)

NOTES TO THE ABBREVIATED ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2014

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).

Turnover
Income represents school fees and extra charges relating to the three academic terms in the year and income from
other activities. Fees invoiced in advance are carried forward for credit in the period to which they relate.

Goodwill
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2002, is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of twenty years.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off
the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis:

Improvements to property- Over the initial term of the lease plus 20 years
Fixtures and fittings- 5% straight line
Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance
Computer equipment- 25% reducing balance

Deferred tax
Deferred taxation has not been provided in these accounts as in the opinion of the directors there is reasonable
probability that the asset will not arise in the foreseeable future. This does not comply with Financial Reporting
Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008) paragraph 9.4. If full provision for deferred taxation was
made in these accounts there would be a liability at 31 August 2014 of £23,205 (2013: £12,153).

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held
under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases
are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The
capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
Teaching staff are members of the Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS), a defined benefit scheme administered by
the Teachers Pension Agency. Contributions to the Scheme are charged to the Profit and Loss account as they
fall due. The Teachers Pension Scheme is an unfunded 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 on a notional set of investments. Under the definitions set out in Financial Reporting Standard 17
Retirement Benefits, the Teachers Pension Scheme is a multi-employer pension scheme. The School is unable to
identify its share of the underlying (notional) assets and liabilities of the scheme. Accordingly, under Financial
Reporting Standard 17 Retirement Benefits the scheme is accounted for as if it were a defined contribution
scheme.

The School also contributes to personal pension schemes for non-teaching staff. Contributions are made by the
employer. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they fall due.
