Significant events

• “POST YEAR-END EVENTS: With effect from 1 January 2025, the School became required to register for VAT following changes in UK legislation. To mitigate the impact on families, the School absorbed a proportion of the VAT cost through moderated fee adjustments, alongside careful cost management across the organisation.”
• “PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES: Following the introduction of VAT on private education, the Company faces a risk of decreased pupil numbers in the years following.”
• “PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT: During the preparation of the statutory accounts, a material misstatement relating to a prior reporting period was identified. The matter was promptly investigated and, following consultation with the School's professional advisers, the Board approved a prior year adjustment in accordance with applicable accounting standards to ensure the accounts present a true and fair view.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
