Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Saffery LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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.”
Significant events
- “The company's turnover for the year was £22.2m (FY24 £36.2m), a 39% reduction in turnover on the prior year. The decrease in revenue was due to mid-contract changes in the value of government funded programs for computing and science training for teachers, reflecting wider UK economic and budgetary pressures.”
- “A re-structuring of the organisation to align its cost base with its revenue base and ensure financial sustainability, was completed by 28th May 2025.”
- “Total CPD days have decreased from the prior year, primarily due to the closure of Science Learning Partnerships from July 2024, driven by the removal of funding by the Department for Education.”
- “A donation of £500,000 was declared during the year to the Enthuse Charitable Trust.”
- “During the 2025 financial year, STEM Learning CPD engaged 20,000 UK-based teachers and influenced over 3.3 million young people. Over the entire STEM Learning CPD portfolio, using Simetrica Jacobs' methodology, we conservatively estimate a total positive impact on the UK economy of £327 million - a multiple of 15 times the then turnover of STEM Learning Ltd.”

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
