Significant events

• “2024-25 was a particularly challenging year for the independent education sector. The introduction of VAT on school fees and associated services, the removal of Charitable Business Rate Relief, and rising employer National Insurance contributions all contributed to significantly higher operating costs.”
• “We were delighted to be recognised once again (for the second consecutive year) among the Top 5 UK Prep Schools in the Catholic Good Schools Guide, alongside our shortlisting for Small Independent School of the Year. Our scheduled visit from the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in October 2025 also confirmed that we had met all required standards in both compliance and educational quality.”
• “The School was delighted to be recognised once again among the Top 5 UK Prep Schools in the Catholic Good Schools Guide 2025 - for the second consecutive year.

In addition, the School achieved Eco-Schools Green Flag accreditation in recognition of our ongoing commitment to sustainability.

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
