Material uncertainty over going concern
The trade, majority of the assets and all of the liabilities of Clayesmore School will be transferred to the Inspired Learning Group on 1 September 2025 following the exchange of contracts on 2 May 2025. Therefore the business and operations of the School under the charity will no longer be continuing and, in these circumstances, UK accounting standards do not permit the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

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
