- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After reviewing the School's forecasts and projections, the Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The School therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The school pursued a number of strategic objectives around improving the quality of teaching and learning, with a particular focus on inclusive or adaptive learning, and developing our use of digital technology.”
- “A new emphasis was placed on the breadth of co-curricular opportunities available, while we also sought to secure the processes around trips and visits.”
- “Our premises goals this year were to undertake the renovation of the KS3 Library and a girls' washroom in the Senior School, while plans were finalised for the installation of a new play castle in the Junior School outside space.”
- “In November 2024 the School was delighted to host representatives from the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). The opportunity to show off all that makes our school so special had been hotly awaited. Queen's Gate met all standards.”

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
