- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Governors assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, ie whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern. The Governors make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the School has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the School's ability to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “A programme of summer building works included refurbishing the main reception area to create a smart, professional and welcoming reception area for visitors. The staff room, toilets and several classrooms were also refurbished and improved. Work commenced to create a second MUGA and basketball/ netball courts which will greatly enhance the outdoor space at the main school site.”
- “On 1 August 2024 The Tiffinian Association Limited, a registered charity, transferred ownership of approximately 30 acres of sports playing fields (known as "Grists") near Hampton Court to The Tiffin School Foundation.”
- “The School was once again very heavily oversubscribed for Year 7 intake for the 2024-25 year with over 1900 boys taking the stage one admission test in October 2023. The lower School has completed its planned growth and each [almost every] year from 7 to 11 has just over 180 pupils, totalling 910 pupils. In addition, the School has continued to expand its sixth form numbers with well over 1000 applications for places for new students in the sixth form. Demand for places has increased significantly since the sixth form went mixed. In 2024-25 the sixth form had 548 students, rising to 555 in 2025-26. Consequently, as of September 2025 the School has the highest number of students it has ever had, reflecting its popularity and success.”

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
