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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The school year started with 43 students and despite a relatively large number of new students the majority settled well.”
• “The Careers Programme continued to develop with Dole, an international fruit distribution company supporting the school's Post 16 work experience programme, the students took part in mock job interviews, and the company were impressed by our students' confidence to communicate and how they answered focussed questions.”
• “Visits and trips have once again become part of school life with a whole school trip to see the pantomime in Canterbury, an end of term trip to London for two groups visiting the Churchill War Rooms and London Sightseeing. Other visits included Wingham Wildlife Park and a local ploughing match. The school's Singing Club was invited to sing at a Discovery Park Christmas event and local Care Home.”
• “Throughout the year Trustees undertook monitoring visits looking at a wide variety of topics/subjects. These included Music, English, Health and Safety, Online Filtering and Monitoring and Safeguarding.”
• “The Trustees are greatly impressed by the care and dedication of the Headteacher and all those working at the school in working to do the very best for the students. Trustees are equally impressed by the achievements of the students in so many aspects of the life of the school both academic and non-academic.”
• “The total amount of other financial commitments not provided in the financial statements was £148,522 (2023 - £Nil).”

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
