- Auditor
- RSM UK Audit LLP
- 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 new Lower School has been a welcome addition to the site, and the younger children are enjoying the facilities and landscape.”
- “Further developments at the site include development of farm buildings and a new barn, as well as developments at the Upper School, removing some of the unusable buildings and improving others, as well as creating a courtyard space for the children.”
- “The residential houses have continued to be improved with many of the homes having upgraded bathrooms and kitchens.”
- “The Community Shop continues to provide valuable work experience opportunities for the pupils and has been well supported by the local community.”
- “The development work continues with the new barns and areas around the farm, which includes the George Adams Research Centre and café.”
- “Some of the disused buildings in the middle of the school site have been demolished and the school is currently working on designs for landscaping the new area as well as creating an improved school entrance.”
- “The bakery continues to develop which will provide opportunities for students to engage in social enterprise activities as well as learning valuable cooking and baking skills.”
