- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Price Bailey LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Continuous programme of improvements to the site and capital expenditure projects, for example new wooden walkways and refurbished outdoor staircases”
- “As we come to the end of our five-year development plan, the Trust has commissioned a new Asset Management Plan to identify the needs and priorities for our buildings and facilities. Several areas of the site will require significant repair or replacement in the near future.”
- “The PTFA of the Trust only held small fundraising events during the year, the main one being the annual quiz night in November.”
- “The school is at full capacity and we are confident with the systems we have in place to deliver high quality teaching and learning, alongside excellent pastoral care; the impact of these systems is evidenced by our outstanding results.”

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
