Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“Accordingly, the Governors believe the Foundation's financial resources are sufficient to ensure the Foundation will continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and have therefore prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.”

Group structure

1. THE LEYS AND ST FAITH'S SCHOOLS FOUNDATION · parent
   1. Leys Enterprises (Cambridge) Limited 100% · England · running of the school shops for both The Leys and St Faith's schools. In addition, the company runs the school's Balgarnie's cafe and the organisation of the summer school staff at The Leys School.

Significant events

• “The Leys also paid off the outstanding mortgage which meant the Foundation had no outstanding loans or mortgages.”
• “VAT was imposed on school fees from January 2025.”
• “The Community Fund (CF) has changed significantly during this year. The last small grant was given in December 2024 with focus shifting to support two strategic partnerships, Red Balloon and Cambridge City Council, Grassroots Activity Gants. These will both receive up to £15,000 per year for three years.”
• “November saw St Faith's launch an exciting new project with Shirley Community Primary School in Chesterton. Their headteacher, John Cattermole, had identified instrumental opportunities as an area that he would be keen to develop in partnership with us, so we took a group of young woodwind players to perform to their Year 5 pupils.”

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
