- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees are confident that the company will have sufficient funding to cover the financial year 2025-2026. The level of donations raised during this financial year 2024-25 for both restricted and unrestricted funds are evidence of this. Accordingly, these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As mentioned in the Trustees' Report, in common with other theological colleges, the charitable company is reliant on gifts and donations to supplement student fee income. As at the time of approving these financial statements, donations sufficient to cover a full twelve months of net expenditure have not yet been fully raised.”

Significant events
- “Following a consolidated surplus of £83k in last financial year, we have consolidated loss of £63k this year; in particular while we grow and develop the CDMS product in WTCC and plan for future student growth.”
- “As part of our Strategic Plan, we initiated the process for registration with the Office for Students and are awaiting the outcome to the application at the moment.”
- “Dr Lucy Peppiatt to the role of President from January 2025 and Dr Ben Blackwell has been promoted to the role of Principal.”
- “Janey Lawry-White has moved to a management role with WTCC and Nigel Langford started in August 2025 to take the College forward in its strategic plan.”
- “On 5th August 2020, a consulting arm of WTC, 'WTC Consulting Ltd', was incorporated with the sole aim of generating income through consulting activities, primarily the licensing of the College Data Management System (CDMS), initially to other theological colleges in the UK. As of October 2025, five external colleges are licenced CDMS clients.”

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
