- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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's or the parent 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.”

- “LSST terminated its BNU partnership and will now maintain only a small number of low-risk, high-quality franchise arrangements with multiple universities, avoiding reliance on any single provider.”
- “LSST won the Mayor of London's Distinguished Provider of Adult Education Award on 13 November 2025”
