Going concern

Affirmed

“The BCNO Board has reviewed and assessed the charity's going concern status and concluded that it is not at risk. This conclusion is based on the charity's substantial cash reserves, which can absorb short-term trading losses, without the need for external funding, whilst the charity undergoes the current plans to teach-out at the London campus, and evaluates the available opportunities within the evolving landscape of higher education.”

Significant events

• “decision was made to pause further undergraduate recruitment to our London campus and to carry out a strategic reassessment of this site”
• “decision to leave the longstanding home of the ESO, Boxley House... The disposal was successfully executed in December 2024”
• “acquisition of an adjoining property - Rock House - which will be our new clinic and see the old clinic repurposed to much needed additional teaching space”
• “legal action to protect the interests of the Charity and to repudiate false accusations.”
• “The company disposed of the Boxley House campus during the year, for a gross sum of £3.5m, resulting in an accounting gain of £1.01m.”
• “the Trustees took the decision to sell one of the Freehold properties.”

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
