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.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-08-31 vs 2024-08-31

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
