|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | 8.6% | 5.9% | |
| Current ratio | 2.71x | 4.69x |

Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Baker Tilly Mooney Moore
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the time of approving the accounts, the Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The School has sufficient funds to support continued operations for at least a period of 12 months from the date of the financial statements. Thus, the Governors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.”
Significant events
- “Work to Ardilea House was completed during the summer months. Landscaping and paving works to the front entrance area was also completed during the current financial year.”
- “Other aspirations include improvement to the traffic flow system at the start and end of School, with arrangements in place with the university in the interim, to minimise traffic on the school site. The next project to be undertaken is improved signage throughout the school site and replacement of the hockey pitch carpet.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
