Going concern

“The school is experiencing considerable financial pressure due to the current environment for independent schools, and is having to reorganise and realise assets. As summarised above plans are being worked on to address the effects of these matters, and the trust remains a going concern as a result.”

Significant events

• “In March 2024 the school learnt that it will not be able to sponsor foreign students for a period of time. At the end of the academic year, August 31st 2024, the issues created by this were being consistently addressed and ongoing.”
• “The subsequent imposition of VAT on school fees, as well as changes to property rates and employer's national insurance, have placed enormous additional financial pressures on the school. To address this the school has reduced its staff numbers, and sold its properties in East Grinstead. It is also selling its property next to the school in Forest Row.”
• “In September 2024 this nursery [Childrens House] was merged with our Forest Row nursery, and the East Grinstead property was subsequently sold.”
• “During this academic year, 2023 - 2024, the Education Centre in East Grinstead continued to welcome regular and new students for tutoring... The delivery of tutoring was subsequently transferred to Trusted Tutors, and the property in East Grinstead sold.”
• “Due to the down turn in Childrens house and EEC profitablity and availability of trained staff both activities have ceased. As both premises they operated from are no longer needed then these were sold post balance sheet in March 2025.”

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
