- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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 charitable company's or the group'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
- “On 1st September 2025, the MAT came into existence. Its founding schools are Clapham Terrace Community Primary School and Nursery, Evergreen School, and Westgate Primary School.”
- “In September 2024, Dr Burley was named by Tatler as the Best Head of a Public School; in November we were inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate and, in addition to a glowing report, we received a significant strength for our culture of changemaking ... Finally, in June 2025 King's High was chosen as Senior School of the Year at the Awards' Ceremony of the Independent Schools Association, capping a remarkable year of success and progress.”
- “On 26 February 2026 the Foundation established a private nursery, Warwick Schools Day Nurseries Limited (Company number 17058315). The company is wholly owned by the Warwick Independent Schools Foundation and has its registered office at Myton Road, Warwick, CV34 6PP.”

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
