- Auditor
- Moore Kingston Smith LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Fundraising activities, undertaken by the charity, became necessary during the year due to the impact of the government's triple financial penalties imposed within an already budgeted year (VAT (January 2025), removal of business tax relief (April 2025) and the increase in employers national insurance contributions (April 2025).”
- “The Board regretfully closed the Abbey Road site at the end of the academic year 2023-2024 and the Crouch End site at the end of 2024-2025, this was due to the anticipated fall in enrolment in the school, due to the imposition of VAT.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
