- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Governors continue to closely monitor the developing financial and economic situation. They believe that the School'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, being at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “A highly successful inspection took place in April 2024 and the School was noted for its significant strength.”
- “The Development and Marketing Department focused on planning and delivering outstanding events and activities and a fundraising campaign to support the celebrations of the 150th birthday. These included a Founders' Day Lunch and Fundraising Launch, a 150th special London Supper Club at the House of Lords, a Founders Lecture with alumna Emma Barnett, reunions in Manchester and London, walking tours of the school site, the first ever Ramadan Iftari held at school, joint reunion with WGS and MGS in London, Birthday Ball at the Lowry Hotel and Summer Extravaganza - amongst others.”

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
