Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The College has had a successful year offering a wide range of courses to students with a diverse range of disabilities and has seen the roll increased from 155 to 164 students.”
• “The employability service has continued with its contract which has widened the service to adults and 100 adults were helped to find employment within the local community.”
• “During the year to August 2025 all of the investments have been realised in order to fund the expenditure on the planned and approved upgrade/replacement of a significant portion of the pipework and boilers across the estate. This has resulted in the value of investments held at 1 September 2024 dropping by £392,000 to £nil at 31 August 2025.”

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
