“The Governors have presented a business plan incorporating forecast financial information through to 31 August 2026 that reflects their view that the financial statements can be prepared on a going concern basis.

Significant events

• “Pupil numbers at the start of the 2024/25 academic year stood at 223 being 2% up when compared with the previous year.”
• “Total income in the year was 10% up at £10.2million with just over 3% (£300,000) derived from a legacy restricted to application towards the provision of future bursaries.”
• “The school returned to surplus of £905,683 (2024: surplus £477,806).”
• “The start of the 2025/26 academic year has seen a small reduction in pupil numbers as the impact of the application of VAT on school fees resulted in an overall reduction in pupil numbers across the independent sector.”
• “A prior year adjustment has been made due to the arising of a pension provision. The School has been informed by the administrators of the Independent School's Pension Scheme ("ISPS") that a liability for deficit employer contributions has arisen due to an event that occurred in March 2017.”

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
