- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The College's achievements this year are reflected both in student recruitment and placements, and in the wide range of events that enrich the educational and formational experience at the heart of our community.”
- “University examination results in the last two years are as follows: 2025: 1st 37%, 2.1 48%, 2.2 7%. 2024: 1st 39%, 2.1 51%, 2.2 8%.”
- “Continuing the implementation of our Alumni & Development strategy, the College carried out a targeted monthly giving campaign aimed at developing a culture of giving in College.”
- “Cranmer Hall supported the formation of 26 Anglican ordinands and 42 Free Church students through a rich programme of learning and practical ministry.”
- “In October 2024 Cranmer Committee signed off on the new vision through to 2030, which prioritizes 'deeper foundations, faithful innovation, fruitful collaboration' as its strategic goals.”
- “The additional Relay staffing continues to enable us to run Growing Leaders courses for churches across the region, while the bursaries have supported the growth of our Free Church pathway.”
- “Our Centre for Church Planting Theology relaunched as 'the Bede Centre' and produced reports, hosted webinars, and our now-established annual church planting conference.”
- “Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science (ECLAS) is a multinational ecumenical project...In 2024-2025, ECLAS focused building community.”
- “Fee income for the year increased by 8% to £4,909,197 on the previous year's figure £4,527,111. The majority of the increase in income is due to a higher number of students in residence and an increase in the number of Cranmer students paying tuition fees.”
- “Cash at bank and in hand has fallen by £535,832 to £3,610,341 (2024: £4,146,174) principally due to the repayment of loans during the year.”
- “The annual valuation of the college's investment property was carried out by the same valuer as in 2024 and the decrease of £375,000 reflects the volatility of market conditions”
