Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “In April 2023 the school achieved the Investors in People Silver level accreditation, demonstrating our commitment and success in developing a high performance culture amongst our staff. The school will be re-assessed by Investors in People in April 2025.”
• “The new Labour Government, elected in July 2024, announced the earlier than expected introduction of VAT on school fees, to be effective from January 2025. The fee increase subsequently confirmed for January 2025 was 14%, with the school able to absorb some of the impact of VAT from reserves and also allowing for the ability to offset VAT on purchases against VAT due on income.”

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
