- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Governors therefore believe that the Schools have adequate resources in place to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and consequently the going concern basis has been adopted in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “2024 saw the Schools' first ever 'Giving Day' event, which was designed to encourage fundraising for the Bursary Fund. This event, which spanned the Junior and Senior Schools, raised £84,000 to support pupils via bursary awards.”
- “The change of government in July 2024 and subsequent budget in October 2024, these risks have become real in the form of VAT on independent school fees and associated services from January 2025, and the removal of charitable business rates relief from April 2025. The impact of these policies has not yet been fully felt but are significant in their financial impact on the Schools and will require measures to ensure financial sustainability in the medium and longer term.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
