Affirmed

“The Governors believe that the Charity's financial resources and contingency planning is sufficient to ensure the ability of the School to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future and therefore the financial statements have been prepared on this basis. The Executive have been closely monitoring the finances and cashflow position and have undertaken detailed contingency planning for inflationary cost increases.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-08-31 vs 2024-08-31

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
