Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' 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 charitable 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.”

Significant events

• “The year has witnessed at the same time continuity, challenge and evolution: continuity as the School had on average 787 pupils during the year, and we continued to deliver a first-class all-round education, focussed on delivering the School's existing strategic aims; challenge, as the School community has had to navigate the introduction of VAT on school fees, the loss of charity relief on business rates, and the increase in employers' national insurance; and evolution, with governance structures being updated and adapted, a detailed examination of key areas of school life, a renewed vision outlined in the 2025 to 2028 Strategy and the launch of the School's 150th anniversary appeal.”
• “During the year the School has also undertaken a review of its organisational structure, resulting in a number of changes to committees that will come into effect from September 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
