Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Fawcetts LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The company is operating within its agreed facility and in view of their relationship with the company's bankers, the governors consider it reasonable to rely on the continuation of the overdraft facility. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis and do not contain any adjustments that might be necessary if the overdraft facility were not renewed at an appropriate level.”
Significant events
- “Substantial investment in the buildings and grounds continued throughout the year. The school's Maintenance Department reconfigured the boarding houses to create two fully refurbished senior boarding houses, including new commons rooms and kitchens for the pupils. A new Health Centre was developed in the heart of the school, incorporating a new surgery, sick bays and staff accommodation.”
- “The school developed a Wellbeing Hub in the heart of the teaching area of the school, creating a dedicated calming space for pupils to access. The continued investment in the fabric of the school demonstrates the commitment that the Governors have to the long-term future of Sandroyd.”
- “Environmental sustainability continues to be a priority for the school. A significant proportion of the school's heat and light now comes from renewable. The school has continued to reduce its energy consumption where possible. Two existing solar arrays provide around 20% of the school's electricity and are helping to reduce our dependence on electricity from the national grid.”

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
