Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope

- Auditor
- UY Accountants Ltd
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' 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 or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the entity'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 has had a successful and busy year in which 162 children have received tuition.”
- “Our Year 6 pupils were successful in being offered places at a range of schools at 11+ which were carefully chosen to meet their individual needs.”
- “Year 5 performed a Midsummer Night's Dream and our Year 6's put on an outstanding end of year production of 'Olivia!'.”
- “The School community raised £12,834 net of expenses from fundraising activities during the year.”
- “This year the bursary scheme has funded two pupils, with support of £29,306 in fees and other expenses.”
- “From 1 January 2025 and the introduction of VAT, a reduction of 3% was made to the tuition element of all fees (except those already settled in full prior to the start of the academic year), to assist families to manage the impact of the tax change.”

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
