Significant events
- “Following the introduction of VAT on education services provided by private schools from January 2025, the School took the decision to support parents during this mid-year change by partially absorbing the associated output VAT. This was achieved through a reduction in fees for the Spring and Summer terms. While this action provided short-term support to families, it resulted in a reduction in income and had a corresponding impact on the School's operating results for the year.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
