Going concern

Affirmed

“The Governors consider the School to be a going concern and continually review this through having at least two years of advance budgets to confirm financial safety.”

Significant events

• “Recent years have seen a period of considerable investment and development in school facilities including the opening of a new library and a new Sixth Form Centre alongside the opening at the start of the 2024/25 academic year of a newly refurbished and reconfigured first co-educational Sixth Form boarding house.”
• “The school has now embarked on its biggest and most ambitious project yet with the vision to create a brand new state of the art Performing Arts Centre for the benefit of both the school and our local community.”
• “Our South African exchange programme entered its second year with an expansion of the programme to include the opportunity for our girls to spend a term at St Mary's School for Girls in Kloof, Kwa-Zulu Natal.”
• “Following the successful launch of our new Summer School programme in 2024, the following summer saw an expansion of the programme and heightened interest, with a strong reputation already established.”

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
