Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries and reviewing the relevant evidence, including the reserves projections over the next three years, trustees have a reasonable expectation that Denefield School has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Denefield has no short or medium-term cashflow concerns, and working reserves are currently at a sufficiently high level to manage any short-term financial pressures. For this reason, the school continues to adopt the 'going concern' basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “In September 2024, management of lettings moved back in-house and this has led to increased use of the school's facilities by local clubs and groups, better relationships and communication with our local hirers, as well as generating additional income.”
• “We have built a strong relationship with the independent Welly Boots Lodge Day Nursery, which also opened on the Denefield site in September 2024 and which supports around 20 children.”
• “Installation of the air-conditioning units in classrooms was completed by May enabling a cooler teaching environment over the hotter summer months, and remaining air-flow and ventilation works in the circulation areas of the main teaching blocks was largely completed by August 2025.”
• “2025/26 will be Denefield's fiftieth year. To celebrate this, we will be launching a series of fundraising activities designed to encourage an increase in fundraising income in both the short and the longer term.”

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
