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 issue.”

Significant events

• “The School has now completed its five year plan strategy which was developed in 2020/21 and has now finalised its new five year plan approved by our Trustees from 2025 to 2030.”
• “The School celebrated its 25th anniversary with a special exhibition titled "The Power of Drawing" which ran in July 2025 following a celebration at St James' Palace.”
• “In 2024/25 the School launched a new award, The Christie's Award, with a prize value of £15k”
• “We launched our new website in the Summer of 2025 which incorporated our revised branding which has been developed with the award-winning design agency Pentagram.”

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
