- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Governors' 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 Group's or the parent 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 made significant changes to the pastoral system for the start of the 25/26 academic year. Two of our Boarding Houses, Hesperus and Macquarie were renovated and updated to become Co-Ed Day Houses. A third Boarding House, Illawarra, was reconfigured to meet the requirements of increasing day boarders.”
- “Students from the College travelled to Uganda over the summer break to support projects at Nabugabo Community Learning Centre.”
- “The Board of Governors and the Head announced the launch of Campus 2030, a phased development plan for the wider college campus and facilities over the next five years. The initial phase focused on consolidating senior boarding accommodation and moving to a co-educational model, completed during summer 2025.”
- “On the 11 November 2025 the College sold two surplus residential properties for net proceeds totalling £1.85m.”
