Significant events
- “In February 2026, the Company announced the closure of its Adult English Language Teaching schools in Manchester and London. Students have been transferred to a competitor via an asset purchase agreement in February 2026. The Company will also sublease the Manchester building to the competitor from the end of February 2026. As the decision was made after the reporting date, this represents a non-adjusting event.”
