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 group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “In January 2025 the School, in conjunction with its validating partner the University of the West of England, announced that it would no longer be accepting applications for its undergraduate degree programmes and would not be admitting any new undergraduate students from September 2025.”
• “During the financial year, the Trustee Board undertook a strategic review of the organisation's executive leadership structure to ensure it remains fit for purpose in a changing educational and charitable landscape. As a result of this review, the single role of Principal was reconfigured into two distinct positions: an Academic Principal and a Charity Chief Executive Officer (CEO).”

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
