| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 20.1% | 14.0% | |

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In considering whether the going concern basis is appropriate, the Governors have considered surplus and cash-flow projections prepared for the period to 31 August 2027. These projections indicate that the School will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due and together with current arrangements with the School's bankers and other lenders, forecast that the School will be able to operate within the facilities currently available. In light of the above the Governors have concluded that it is appropriate to use the going concern basis in the preparation of these financial statements.”

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
