Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the College's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. The Trustees of the College have concluded that there are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the College to continue as a going concern. The Trustees are of the opinion that the College will have sufficient resources to meet its liabilities as they fall due.”

Significant events

• “During the period under discussion, the College took the decision to pause its apprenticeship provision in order to conduct a thorough review of the delivery model and risk mitigation measures around effectively supporting apprentices with additional needs. Subsequently the College's registration on the Apprenticeship Provider and Assessment Register (APAR) was withdrawn, in line with APAR conditions of acceptance around periods of non-delivery. The College will reapply to the APAR as and when apprenticeship provision recommences.”
• “Other notable achievements this year included confirmation from Ofsted in March 2025 that Orchard Hill College remains an Outstanding specialist provider across all areas.”

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
