Going concern
Affirmed

“The Governors and Trustees have examined the School's future financial performance through forecasting and scenario planning. Key assumptions in the forecast modelling include pupil numbers, staffing levels, inflation and property maintenance requirements. For these reasons, and the continued support of GFM Holdings Ltd, the Trustees believe there are sufficient funds available within the School to continue to operate as a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared on this basis.”

Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-08-31 vs 2023-08-31

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
