Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“Overall, however, Council is confident that the Society has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future. School numbers have risen to over 700 and Council hopes to maintain or increase these numbers to add to future income. In addition, the Society has some cash reserves in place. In light of the above, no material uncertainties have been identified which compromise the Society's operations. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “In January 2025, VAT on school fees came into force, and in order to enable the parent body to have a runway the Government did not supply, Council took the challenging decision during the year to raise fees marginally from September 2025 and below the cost of inflation and living.”
• “our dearly held Head, Robert Lobatto, made the big decision to retire from Headship.”
• “Council set about, with the aid of a search and selection firm experienced in education, finding a new head to lead KAS into this new decade and, after a long and in-depth process, secured the hire of Stephen Campbell, who will be joining the school in 2026.”
• “The 2025 exam results, and value-added scores, across GCSE and A levels were once again strong, particularly at A* grade at A level, showing how it is possible for students to enjoy school, love learning and have academic success.”
• “temporary financial support is provided on a means-tested basis for children whose circumstances have changed.”
• “Over the past few years, the school has also been able to provide fully-funded bursary places to five young people from Ukraine, whose education was disrupted following Russia's invasion - four have now graduated and one is in her final year in the Sixth Form.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
