Material uncertainty over going concern
In March 2025 the Board made the strategic decision to merge with Mill Hill Education Group. The school will officially join the MHEG from 1 September 2025. Therefore the Governors have concluded that it is not appropriate to adopt a going concern basis of preparation on these financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern.

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
