Going concern
Affirmed

“The Trustees confirm that the decision to close one school site and relocate the pupils to the prep school site has strengthened the long-term financial viability of the organisation. Despite the exceptional costs incurred this year, the Trust remains a Going Concern and is well-positioned, with a sound balance of operational income and reserves, to continue its core educational mission.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-08-31 vs 2024-08-31

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
