“After reviewing the School's forecasts and projections, the Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The School therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Over the academic year 2024-2025, the primary objectives were the successful completion of our ISI inspection and pupil recruitment and retention following the announcement of the imposition of VAT on independent school fees.”
- “Our premises goals this year were to undertake the renovation of the pupil dining room and to establish a SEND space with room for both parent meetings and pupil interventions. In addition, a number of key offices were redecorated.”
- “In November 2024 the School was delighted to host representatives from the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI).”
- “The proposed sale of 125-126 Queen's Gate will enable the charity to invest in the refurbishment of the original site and expand bursary provision, while also facilitating the repayment of its bank loan from Barclays Bank. The Governors remain in active dialogue with the School's bankers to ensure ongoing support throughout the sale process.”
