Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Wright Vigar Limited
- 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
- “The last inspection by the Independent School Inspectorate (ISI) was in November 2023; they carried out a thorough inspection following their new framework and found Highfields to have met all standards.”
- “Planning permission was turned down in August 2023 and the contract with Avant Homes has expired.”
- “The market for independent schools has become more challenging following the introduction of VAT in January 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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
