Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees reasonably expect the Charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Last year Trustees noted that language deprivation is a key barrier for D/deaf children impacting upon many developmental outcomes including school readiness. Plans for future periods included increasing the scope of the School's Early Year's provision. In the year a milestone was passed: there are now seven children in Early Years.”
• “As one long-term-campus development plan came to an end a new consultation started.”
• “A number of research projects happened throughout the year. Working with the National Health Service (NHS) and a partner charity, young people in Post 16 had their say at a strategic level about the lived experiences of Deaf people in the health care system.”
• “At the end of the academic year a number of members of the Governing Body (GB), including its Co-chairs, stepped down to make way for new recruits.”
• “Following the Chancellor's declaration on 31 October 2024 to bring Non Maintained Special Schools (NMSS) into scope of VAT policy, the School moved quickly and coherently to secure the best outcomes.”

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
