Going concern

Affirmed

“Therefore, the Governors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there are no material uncertainties regarding the School's financial viability. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements, as outlined in the Statement of Governors' Responsibilities.”

Significant events

• “Following an approach in early summer 2025, the Governors of St Martin's School entered into due diligence discussions with Haberdashers' Elstree Schools (Habs) regarding a proposed merger. Due diligence was completed in November 2025, and a Change of Membership Agreement (COMA) was signed. The intended merger was publicly announced on 1 December 2025.”
• “The purchase of a residential property that adjoins the School 's boundary.”

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
