- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Governors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “A key strategic priority has been readiness for the introduction of VAT on independent school fees, announced by the Government in July 2024 and implemented from 1 September 2025.”
- “The school made the strategic decision to pass on the cost of VAT in full to parents, as VAT is a consumption tax and therefore chargeable to the consumer.”

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
