“After consideration of the School's financial position, its financial plans, (including projected pupil numbers), the demand for places and the broader environment, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the School has and will continue to have adequate resources to enable it to be a sustainable going concern for the foreseeable future. For this reason the School continues to adopt the going concern principle in preparing its financial statements.”

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
