Values shown as filed in the company's annual accounts. indicates the figure wasn't present under that line item in that period. About these numbers

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-07-31 vs 2024-07-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Going concern
Affirmed

“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. On the basis of the ongoing review of the activity, the Company's parent company, London Business School, has provided a letter of support confirming that it will provide ongoing financial support to the Company to enable it to continue its operating activities, subject to a one year notice period. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will therefore have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
