Audit opinion

Going concern
Affirmed

“Financial projections and scenario analyses for at least 12 months indicate that pupil numbers for 2025-2026, while lower than 24-25, still remain strong. The introduction of VAT on school fees may continue to impact future enrolment. The School has sufficient cash and funds to meet its liabilities as they fall due, leading the Trustees to conclude that the School is a going concern.”

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
