Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

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 group's or parent charitable company'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.”

Significant events

• “On 31 August 2025, under a charitable merger agreement, the business and assets of St Neot's (Eversley) Limited... were gifted to the Charity.”
• “The College has made qualifying third-party indemnity provisions for the benefit of its directors during the year.”
• “Scholarship spending reduced this year to allow more bursary support.”
• “Supported 50 Foundationers at a cost of £1,144,270 (2024: £1,304,917).”
• “At the year-end, the Group's investments totalled £14.4m (2024: £13.8m). The Governors were not fully satisfied with the risk profile of the investments and have moved an element of investments into short-term gilts.”
• “Fundraising raised £649,815 (2024: £521,992).”
• “The principal risk this year has been the implementation of VAT on school fees in January 2025. The College was prepared for the potential impact that early implementation could bring about and communicated early and clearly with parents. The College was able to support parents in the Spring and Summer terms with a fee reduction, which mitigated some of the VAT increase.”

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
