- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Taking into account cash and investment balances, forecast income and expenditure for the next 12 months and the ongoing support of and relationship with the School's bankers, the Governors consider that the School's available resources are sufficient for the School and subsidiary company to be able to meet liabilities as they fall due. For these reasons, whilst recognising the challenging environment faced by the whole independent school's sector, the Governors consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

- “The Anthony Arthur Coward Scholarship has also been established following the kind donation by the late Barbara Hunt in memory of her nephew, Anthony Coward, an Icenian of Langley School.”

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
