Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Crowe U.K. LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “At the end of Year 6 all pupils gained places at their first-choice senior school with 6 scholarships and exhibitions being won by pupils across the full breadth of the curriculum. These achievements have been greatly helped by the high-calibre teaching and operations staff employed by the School.”
- “The breadth and quality of sport, the arts and music across the school has continued to be impressive with awards at regional and individual level for most year groups.”
- “The School continues to monitor developments within the education sector, and the Pre-Senior Baccalaureate curriculum which is being implemented is continually reviewed and developed in order to ensure the framework and content reflects best practice and forms a firm foundation for each pupil's next stage of education.”
- “The Governors continue to place the highest importance on the pastoral care of pupils. The School continues to review and adapt the framework for pastoral care to reflect the changing social environment that pupils now experience from a young age, and the School continues to invest in processes to support this including the monitoring framework.”

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
