Audit & accounting basis

- Auditor
- Moore Kingston Smith LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company'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.”
Significant events
- “On 31st July 2025 Kingham Hill School (including all properties at the site, both residential and non-residential) was transferred as a gift to the Dean Close Foundation ("DCF") from the Trust.”
- “The impact of the government's decision to introduce VAT on school fees on 1st of January 2025 has been keenly felt throughout the sector and at KHS.”
- “On 5th September 2025, the Trust completed the sale of its freehold property located at 186 Chase Side, London, for £1,565k, and net sale proceeds of £1,536k.”

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
