Audit & accounting basis

- Crowe U.K. LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Governors consider that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and it is therefore appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The introduction of VAT regulations coming into force on the 1 January 2025 brought change to the sector; but it also brought certainty to the parents who choose independent schooling.”
- “an adjustment for VAT has resulted in a deficit for the year of £204,439 (2024: £453,238 profit excluding prior year fair value adjustment).”
- “significant capital investment of £393,473 was incurred.”
- “From September 2026, Hallfield will welcome its first Year 9 cohort, followed by Year 10 in 2027 and Year 11 in 2028. This expansion meets growing parental demand for an academically selective school that combines small class sizes, first-class facilities, and a personalised approach to education.”
- “The shortfall of free reserves will be addressed through the sale of investment properties and a series of budgetary amendments in the years ahead.”

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
