- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Governors' 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 Group's or the parent 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.”

- ROSE BRUFORD COLLEGE OF THEATRE AND PERFORMANCE · parent

Significant events
- “Our staff were recognised nationally, achieving third place in the WhatUni Student Choice Awards for Teacher and Lecturer of the Year.”
- “Our alumni continue to demonstrate the global reach of a Rose Bruford education, with recent highlights including Jessica Gunning's Emmy and Golden Globe wins.”
- “Work also began on our new campus building, which will transform student opportunities and reinforce our role as a cultural hub.”
- “A dinner held at the House of Lords to celebrate our 75th anniversary was symbolic of this.”
- “The year saw the end of the term of office of Bernardine Evaristo as our President. She is succeeded by Ray Fearon, another high profile alumnus.”

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
