- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on this assessment, the Trustees believe that there are reasonable grounds to conclude that the Charity will, with appropriate management, continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. The Trustees do not consider that any material uncertainties exist that would cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “At the 31st January 2025 the charity completed a sale of the business and associated assets. This report has been formulated on the basis that the operational activities of the charitable company ceased at the point of sale.”
- “Following the sale of the school, an application has been made to the Charity Commission to modify the object to reflect the charity's changed circumstances from operational school to grant making trust with a focus on the distribution of educational bursaries.”
- “The school had an RCI inspection by ISI in January 2025. The inspection highlighted the exceptional quality of teaching and learning at MSJ and recognised the dedication of staff and the enthusiasm of pupils.”
