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

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In preparing these financial statements, the directors have considered the impact of the current inflationary environment on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern by preparing a cash flow forecast through to 31 August 2027, modelling a severe but plausible downside scenario that demonstrates that the Group is expected to have sufficient funds to meet its obligations as they fall due over the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Occupancy for the 2025/26 financial year has been secured at 75.8% which is in line with the directors' expectations. Whilst this is below historic levels of occupancy achieved, the Group is exploring all available avenues to optimise its in-year position.”
- “A directors valuation has been undertaken during the year ended 31 August 2025. Due to lower occupancy the fair value of the asset reduced significantly from the previous valuation and the new valuation of £101,800k has been recognised.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
