Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“The Board is required to assess the ability of the School to meet its future obligations. Factors informing their conclusion that a Going Concern basis is appropriate in the preparation of the accounts include: That over the past many years the school has demonstrated an ability to manage its cost base such that over the past decade, with the exception of years impacted by Covid, the school has delivered surpluses or results close to breakeven. Steps have been taken to underpin future profitability including a significant reduction in costs for 2025/26 and beyond. The school has a strong relationship with its bank which recognises the strong asset base supporting the School's activities. This strong asset base provides additional financial resilience if required. Capital spend is carefully managed in that context.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-08-31 vs 2024-08-31

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
