Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Auditor
- Anderson Barrowcliff Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The trustees have considered the School's financial position in the context of national and sector-specific challenges, including the ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, the cost of living crisis, rising energy prices, the introduction of VAT on independent school fees from 1 January 2025, and the removal of business rates relief from 1 April 2025. Other sector pressures include demographic fluctuations and increased competition from other schools. Following a detailed review of income, expenditure, and reserves, the trustees are confident that Red House School has sufficient resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. The School maintains robust reserves and exercises prudent financial management, ensuring that it can respond effectively to emerging challenges. Accordingly, the going concern basis remains appropriate for preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year under review, the School made significant investments in ICT infrastructure and in the fabric of its buildings, ensuring that facilities continue to support both academic excellence and the well-being of our pupils.”
- “Highlights of the 2024–2025 academic year included a number of memorable musical and dramatic events that brought the whole community together. The 'Carols & Cocoa' Concert in December 2024 offered a festive celebration of music and community spirit, while the Nine Lessons and Carols Service at Stockton Parish Church provided a traditional and uplifting close to the Autumn Term. In March 2025, pupils showcased their creativity and confidence in the ever-popular 'Red House Has Got Talent competition', which once again demonstrated the breadth of talent across the School.”
- “A notable milestone in 2024–2025 was the launch of Red House School's inaugural school exchange programme with Kokomo High School in Indiana, USA.”

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
