- 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 ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for use.”

Significant events
- “In January 2025, there was a fire in the School's central catering facility. Thanks to the action of School staff, insurers, loss adjusters and contractors, disruption to pupils and staff was minimised. It was necessary not only to establish a temporary kitchen and dining facility while a clean-up and renovation took place, resulting in a state-of-the-art new kitchen and dining room that was opened in November 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
