Going concern
Affirmed

“The Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and is able to meet its objectives. They believe that there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the School's ability to continue. The accounts have therefore been prepared on the basis that the School is a going concern.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-08-31 vs 2023-08-31

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
