Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the governor's 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 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

• “Our net fees (ex-VAT) increased by 4% with effect from 1st September 2025. Following the imposition of VAT on independent school fees with effect from 1st January 2025, our gross fees (inc VAT) increased by 14%.”
• “In 2022-23, we were struck by the plight of Ukraine after the invasion by Russia. In response to this crisis, and in order to help refugee children who were living with our parents, we took on 7 Ukrainian pupils with fee assistance. This support has continued in 2024-25.”
• “A total of over £19,580 (2024: £49,540) was raised by parents, children and staff and donated to charities over the course of the year, namely to Peak Adventure and the Cumnor Foundation, both of whom support children in Sussex in various ways.”

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
