- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The School'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 is based on a strong financial position in which pupil numbers are healthy and are forecast to remain so, rigorous controls around operating costs leaving the School with an acceptable level of surplus that can continue to be reinvested in capital projects, and an improving reserves position to build resilience in accordance with its Strategic Reserves Policy.”
Significant events
- “The swimming pool refurbishment project is almost complete with a new enclosure, to enable all year round swimming, installed over the existing swimming pool. Significant investment continues to be made in IT and other teaching resources.”
- “Allowances including bursaries and staff discounts totalled £561,606 for the year. £254,099 were means tested bursaries which equated to 3.1% of gross fee income. 23 children received means tested bursaries.”
- “During the year the School received £5000 in donation to the Bursary Fund. The School also received £1,750 in voluntary donations from parents to assist in delivering new and improved facilities/initiatives within the School. The School received a further £23,050 in donations for the swimming pool refurbishment project.”

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
