- Ward Williams Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Trustees' use of the going concern basis is appropriate; no material uncertainties identified that cast significant doubt on the School's ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The School was visited by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in March 2024 and received a positive report. The Inspection found that the School is fully compliant against all standards.”
- “The School closed membership of the TPS for new members of staff, effective 1st September 2023.”
- “With effect from 1 May 2024, the School implemented a cap on the employer rate to the TPS at 23.6%, with future contribution rate rises met by the employee.”
- “With income of £9,263,344, the School generated an operating surplus of £1,082,275 (2023: £903,877). This surplus has been applied primarily in financing new capital expenditure.”

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
