  Material uncertainty over going concern

  We draw attention to note 2.3 and note 14 in the financial statements, which describes circumstances that have impacted the preparation basis of the accounts. As stated in this note, the school is due to close at the end of the Summer Term, July 2025. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter but it does affect the schools ability to continue as a going concern.

Significant events

• “At the end of the period, the Group learned that the premises leased to Braeside School had been sold to a third party following a process of sealed bids. Post-year end, on exchange of contracts with the new landlord the school learned that the new proposed lease would be unachievable given the consistent size of the school, and that the new landlord was looking for an alternative use. The school had no alternative but to announce the closure at the end of academic/financial year 2024/25 with the relocation of pupils and staff to other schools in the Group.”
• “The new Labour government carried out its election proposal to add 20% VAT to school fees from January 2025. The Group secured a group registration from HMRC and announced in November 2024 that although VAT would need to be added to invoices for tuition and other activities from the Spring Term 2025, the Group would be subsidising invoices for the remainder of the academic year by reducing the fees by 4%.”
• “On 5th November 2024, the Directors' issued a letter to the parents of the pupils at Braeside School stating that the school will stop operating at the end of the Summer Term, July 2025. This is due to the lease on the property coming to an end and a new agreement on a new lease not being reached.”
