Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- HaysMac LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board considers that, given the strength of the charity's balance sheet, the stable cash flow from student rolls and its continuing popularity, the School has sufficient reserves to continue as a going concern in the future.”
Group structure
- KING'S HOUSE SCHOOL TRUST (RICHMOND) LIMITED · parent
- King's House School Enterprises Limited 100%
Significant events
- “The School moved to coeducation in September 2024, with the admission of girls in Reception and Years 1.”
- “Two members of staff qualified as Accredited Forest School Leaders this year.”
- “In May, the School celebrated its second International Day, organised with the Friends of King's House to celebrate the diversity and unity of the community. Over 20 stalls representing different countries provided students with the opportunity to learn about different cultures, languages, and traditions from around the world. The event also raised money for Rwanda Action, the School's chosen charity for the year.”
- “The division of the large ground floor room in the Nursery building into two separate classrooms has proved to be enormously popular with parents, staff and pupils and has been very successful for teaching purposes.”
- “A new toilet block in the senior department has provided a toilet area for the girls who will be moving into that department, as well as a separate refurbished toilet space for the boys.”
- “In January 2025, the Government imposed 20% VAT on school fees with immediate effect. The School, therefore, had to register for VAT and a policy decision was made to pass on 15% VAT to parents, following an assessment that the School should be able to reclaim around 5% input VAT on costs.”
- “In April 2025, the 80% Business Rates Relief that the School had previously enjoyed as a charitable trust, was also removed by the government and an increase of Employers' National Insurance contributions was also imposed.”
- “The major development project for the Senior Department remains a key priority for the Board and planning permission was formally granted on 10 June 2022.”

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
