- Audit opinion

“After making appropriate enquiries, the Governors therefore consider that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and it is therefore appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In May 2024, the next phase of the building development commenced which included a spacious dining room, toilet facilities, medical facilities, an additional classroom plus a new entrance and other modifications for the Art department. Further modernisation of the Art block will follow when funding allows.”
- “In June 2024 an opportunity arose to purchase a property adjoining the school. This provided a residential house, paddock and further outbuildings. A new staff car park has been created in a section of these grounds to ease the congestion in the existing car parks, and a safer access to the sports fields and changing rooms has been provided for the children during the ongoing building works.”

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
