Going concern

Affirmed

“Having reviewed the Group's future projected cash flows, which reflect the impact of rising costs and other risks, and the cash resources available to the Group together with the expected ongoing demand for places, the Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there are no material uncertainties over the School's financial viability.”

Significant events

• “Financial pressures increased due to the imposition of VAT on independent school fees, the removal of partial business rates relief, and the raising of employer National Insurance contributions.”
• “The Trust has slowed down building/development projects and may have to reduce expenditure on bursaries and partnership projects, while honouring existing free place and bursary commitments for current pupils.”
• “A total of 131 pupils received means-tested bursary awards, with 108 receiving 100% funded places. The total value of scholarship and bursary awards was £4,393,384.”
• “The School entered into a phased withdrawal from the TPS on 1 August 2024. Teaching staff joining after this date will be invited to join the APTIS defined contribution scheme.”

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
