- Going concern
- Material uncertainty disclosed
“In view of the transfer to STAEG and decision to cease operations, the governors do not consider PGHS to be a going concern and therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a basis other than that of a going concern.”
Significant events
- “The Governors of Palmers Green High School Limited (PGHS) considered that, in view of the continuing fall in pupil numbers at the school, and the predicted operating forecast going forward, it was doubtful that it would continue to be financially viable beyond the current school year and, after considering a range of strategic options anticipated that the School would need to be closed.”
- “PGHS thus agreed to convey, transfer, assign and/or deliver (as appropriate) the Assets with effect from the 4th March 2026 with full title guarantee to STAEG and STAEG did from the Transfer Date acquire and take over the Business, together with such rights, title and interests which PGHS may have in the Assets.”
- “After careful consideration of all available options, the Governing Body concluded that there was no realistic prospect of the School returning to a sustainable financial position. As a result, the decision has been taken to cease operations.”

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
