Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

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

Significant events

• “The introduction of VAT on school fees, a loss of business rates relief and pressure on employer payroll costs from increases in employer contributions to national insurance and teachers' pensions have resulted in significant additional costs and we are acutely aware of the knock-on effect to school fee affordability.”
• “During the year, the school were pleased to include sustainable solar panels as part of the refurbishment of the May Hall roof alongside continued investment into teaching and pastoral facilities and upgrades of equipment.”
• “In April 2024 employer contributions to The Teachers Pension Scheme (TPS) increased from 23.68% of gross salary to 28.68%.”
• “VAT has been added to school fees from January 2025”
• “loss of business rate relief for independent schools, with a further unanticipated cost increase in employer national insurance contributions from the same month.”
• “Measures taken to improve energy efficiency: ongoing replacement of ageing boilers, the conversion of lighting to LEDs, window replacement and introduction of solar panels to a school roof.”

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
