Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- UK-adopted International Accounting Standards
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have no reason to believe that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. The directors have received a letter of support from the ultimate parent company that it will continue to support the Company for at least the period from the date of approval of the financial statements to 30 September 2026.”
Significant events
- “On 30 September 2022, the Company sold its 100% holding of the share capital of Lewisham 2 Limited (formerly Vita (Lewisham) 2 Limited).”
- “The sale agreement includes contingent consideration of £2m payable in December 2025 dependent on achievement of net operating income targets for the academic years 2022/23 to 2024/25.”

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
