Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from authorising these financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The implementation of VAT from January 2025 has a significant impact on our results for the year ended 31 July 2025. The Trustees decided not to pass on most of this VAT cost to parents which resulted in a decline of £0.632 million in our Fee Income.”
• “The UK Government's decision to remove the VAT exemption on independent school fees from 1st January 2025 has created a major challenge to all independent schools to maintain student numbers in an already difficult economic climate.”
• “As a result of declining income from the UK government's introduction of VAT on independent school fees, the school has reviewed its cost base and announced a staff reorganisation exercise on 28th October 2025.”

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
