Going concern

Affirmed

“The Board of Governors, having reviewed the School's forecasts and plans, confirms its expectations that the Company has sufficient resources at its disposal to carry out the current plans for the School and therefore to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months. ... On this basis, the Board of Governors is satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.”

Significant events

• “Session 2024-25 marked the High School of Glasgow entering its 901st year, a continuation of the pride and progress celebrated in our 900th anniversary through 2024.”
• “Central to this progress is the START entrepreneurial programme, now in its second year. Launched in 2024, the initiative has expanded rapidly from four to twelve State schools across Glasgow, introducing young people from disadvantaged communities to the experience of working within a start-up business incubator.”
• “The means tested bursaries awarded in academic year 2024-25, to 53 pupils, totalled £726,377 (2024: £674,060). This represented 5.0% of the School fee income.”
• “Non means-tested fee remissions for the year 2024-25 therefore totalled £809,916 (2024: £623,691) and benefited 14% of the school roll.”
• “The 2024-25 academic session was a landmark year of celebration and achievement, marking the School's 900th anniversary.”
• “Among the many highlights was a remarkable 900km charity bike ride in support of the Bursary Fund”
• “The START Programme, a pioneering entrepreneurship initiative, continued to bridge education and Scotland's vibrant start-up ecosystem. In 2025, it expanded significantly from four to twelve participating state schools, all drawn from disadvantaged communities.”

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
