CHATHAM & CLARENDON GRAMMAR SCHOOL

• ⚠

  Material uncertainty over going concern

  Revenue reserves at 31 August 2025 were slightly in deficit following a difficult year, and although the School is predicting a balanced budget for 2025/26, there is going to be significant pressure in 2026/27 and beyond. There was a significant fall in the school roll this year with the Year 7 intake for September 2025 (127) well below the pupil PAN (180).

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
