Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Crowe U.K. LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Governors have reviewed the funding facilities available to the School together with the expected ongoing demand for places and the School's future projected cash flows. The Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School's financial resources and contingency planning is sufficient to ensure the ability of the School to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, being at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2023/24 the value of bursaries, scholarships, allowances and other awards made to the School's pupils totalled £2,283,434 up from the previous year's level of £2,008,471 thereby reflecting the continuing aims to add to and develop means-tested bursaries where financially possible.”
- “The summer's impressive A Level results saw 30% of grades awarded A*, well over three times the national average, and 43% of KES pupils gaining only A*/A grades. GCSE results were the best in the School's history, with nearly 40% of entries at the top 9 grade, and over two thirds (67%) at grade 9-8. 84% of grades were 9-7.”
- “A year of very successful sporting engagement was undoubtedly enhanced by the arrival in January 2024 of our newly refurbished gym, alongside new teaching, office and catering spaces and the splendid viewing gallery.”
- “Solar panels were installed on the roofs of the sports hall and Wessex buildings in January 2024, contributing to renewable energy generation and reducing reliance on non-renewable power sources.”
- “New, energy-efficient boilers were installed in the theatre, improving heating efficiency.”
- “Energy-efficient LED lighting was installed across various facilities, reducing energy consumption and lowering electricity costs.”

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
