Going concern

Affirmed

“The Waldegrave Trust held a surplus balance in restricted funds at 31 August 2025 of £526,826 (2024: £985,784) excluding the fixed asset funds but including a pension reserve asset of £nil (2024: £nil) and unrestricted funds of £2,627,346 (2024: £1,901,214). The governors have considered the forecasts for the period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements and believe that the fund balances are adequate to provide sufficient working capital in times of possible future funding turbulence, to provide a cushion to deal with unexpected emergencies, meet the required contributions to the pension plans as instructed by the local authority/ UK Chancellor, and to fulfil the objectives detailed in the SDP. On this basis the going concern assumption for the preparation of the financial statements is considered appropriate,”

Significant events

• “The school had an ungraded inspection by Ofsted in October 2024. We are delighted that the school was judged to have retained the 'outstanding' standards in all areas as identified in our previous inspection.”
• “Effective management of the school budget enabled investment in significant capital development including the development of a new teaching classroom block.”
• “Continued investment in our digital strategy and staff. This year, we completed the installation of both Smartboards throughout the school to improve students' learning experience. We also invested in new desktop computers and screens for all classrooms, as well as enhanced network hardware throughout the whole site.”
• “The Friends of Waldegrave Trust funded a new minibus, which will be key to supporting student participation in sports fixtures, local school events, and our popular Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.”

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
