Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“In the view of the Governors, no assumptions concerning the School's future that would affect the assets or liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year, nor will it affect the School's ability to meet its ongoing obligations for the following twelve months from the date these financial statements have been signed. The Governors have reviewed the budgets and forecasts for the upcoming period and are satisfied that the School is a going concern.”

Significant events

• “Continued investment in facilities, including a STEM Hub, Sunshade Canopy for Pre-Prep, and a climbing wall in the Sports Hall.”
• “One-to-one device launch for Year 6, 7 and 8 boys in September 2024.”
• “Aldwickbury named a finalist in the Independent School Awards for Best Boys' School for the second consecutive year.”
• “Record pupil numbers in Years 7 and 8; slight reduction in Pre-Prep due to VAT on school fees concerns.”
• “Commitment of £nil (2023: £97,500) related to planning building works.”

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
