Going concern

Affirmed

“The Board of Trustees has reviewed The Vernon Educational Trust's activities, financial position and risk management policies together with factors likely to affect future development, including the impact of economic uncertainty and the political financial and regulatory policy on fee income. The Trustees have concluded that it is reasonable to expect the Trust to have adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the going concern basis of accounting continues to be adopted in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Mrs Maxine Shaw left the school, succeeded by Mr Richard Brown, formerly Head of Handcross Park School in Sussex, who took up interim leadership of the school in April 2024. Colin Baty will be joining the school as the new permanent Head in early 2025.”
• “In 2022, Danes Hill School set up a sustainability committee, focusing initially on developing a sustainability plan, and then to create an implementation plan. The School started drawing energy from its solar panels and used its attenuation tank to water the sports fields. In 2024, the school deepened its work with the Oxshott Net Zero community team to help reduce carbon in the community, and hosted repair cates. The school saw more solar power yield and invested in greener spaces. Planning is also underway for electrical charging points as well as a Staff Electrical Car scheme.”

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
