Significant events
- “On 14th March 2025 the Foundation announced that it would be closing the Loughborough Amherst School at the end of 2024/25 academic year. Whilst the closure of Amherst School will have some short-term financial impact on the Foundation in terms of pupil numbers and staff restructuring, the full financial impact of the decision cannot be quantified at this stage.”
- “Repayments for the CBILs loan (Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme) were made through 2023/24 with £1.2 million outstanding at the year end.”
- “It was confirmed in July 2024 that independent school fees would become subject to VAT from 1st January 2025 and that independent schools would also lose charitable business rates relief.”
- “in October 2024 it was announced that businesses, including the Foundation, would be subject to a significant increase in employers national insurance taxes and that the National Living Wage would increase far in excess of inflation.”

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
