- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Governors have reviewed the funding facilities available to the School together with the expected ongoing demand for places and the School's future projected cash flows. The Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School's financial resources and contingency planning is sufficient to ensure the ability of the School to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, being at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In January 2026 the School announced its intention to bring the Pre-Prep year groups, including its Pre-School year, from its Weston Lane property to the Junior School building on our North Road site by September 2027. This will ensure that for the first time, all KES year groups, from Pre-School to Year 13, are on the same site in the city of Bath. The move will see significant investment in the expansion of the current Junior School building and facilities. This will be funded through the sale of the Weston Lane property, as well as additional contributions from the School's capital investment budget.”
