Going concern

Affirmed

“The Governors have assessed the School's ability to continue as a going concern and have reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This is based on the current financial position of the School and anticipated results for future periods and for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The year 2023-24 marked the latter part of our 150th anniversary, with a programme of events bringing different constituents of the School community together, reminding us all that Cargilfield was Scotland's first preparatory school.”
• “The year started with a pilgrimage to France and Belgium, with the Headmaster, senior management team, children, staff, parents and governors walking over 150km of the Western Front Way.”
• “Cargilfield organised a whole school Beach Day at Silver Sands in Aberdour and held the first Foundation Day on 19th September.”
• “The celebrations closed with an anniversary ball in June 2024, raising in excess of £140,000 for the Cargilfield 150th Anniversary Fund.”
• “Form 8 children entered the UK Rocketry competition, being the only junior school in Scotland to do so and chosen to represent Scotland in the National Finals.”
• “Other academic highlights included the seventh Book Festival, ongoing success in academic competitions (Townsend Warner History, Shrewsbury Science, UK Mathematics), and science and technology workshops.”

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
