Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees have concluded that the forecasts that have been prepared are appropriate and that the level of secured and expected pupil numbers and care residents is of a level that sufficient income will be generated to fund its activities and consequently the Group and the Charity can meet its financial obligations as they fall due and hence have concluded that it is appropriate to consider the organisation a going concern.”

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
