“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Group and Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future; in particular for a period of not less than one year from the date of approval of these financial statements.

Significant events
- “Our first cohort of Imperial Maths School students sat their first set of external exams in summer 2025 with exceptional results. Woodhouse students continued to achieve excellent results too in 2025, beating all previous records.”
- “Capital projects for Woodhouse continued to remain a key focus during the year, with further funds spent to upgrade the College as part of a rolling 10-year programme of improvements to the Woodhouse estate. A more significant investment in building development has progressed, with an architect now appointed to design a redevelopment of the disused caretaker's cottage. The new building will provide much needed additional student study space and catering, as well as office and meeting spaces.”
- “The Maths School project continues to progress well. The school accepted its third cohort of students on 1st September 2025, with 66 new recruits joining the existing 61 Year 13 students... the new building will open in September 2027.”

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
