- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 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
- “The new Head, Mr Graeme McCafferty, was appointed for September 2025 by the Governing Body, with advice from a special panel of School Council members and external advisors, including Odgers.”
- “Newton Prep was inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate under the new inspection regime in February 2025, which has been published on the school's website. The school received an excellent report acknowledging 'curriculum provision' as a 'significant strength'.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
