- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the governors' 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 of conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's or 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
- “The school controls Aysgarth School Foundation, a Charitable Incorporation Organisation (Charity number 1206089). The foundation was split from Aysgarth School Trust Limited in the current financial year to form a new CIO, with the school retaining the power to appoint all new charity Trustees in the foundation.”
- “During the year ended 31 August 2024 the School comprised a boarding prep school for boys aged 8 to 13 and a mixed pre-prep and nursery department for children aged 3 to 8. Girls joined the Prep School for the first time from September 2024.”
- “In line with future long term strategic planning, the School announced in the Autumn term 2023 that the Co-educational provision that already exists in the Pre-prep would be extended to the Prep School in September 2024.”

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
