- Auditor
- HaysMac LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“This level of free reserves (excluding the fixed assets and relevant portion of designated investments but including the pension assets) exceeds the 20% target of annual unrestricted funds expenditure and gives the trustees confidence that the School remains a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The strategic plan was milestoned and is on track. A programme of cost cutting was undertaken and the Guthrie building rented out on a two year lease to generate extra income from September 2025.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
