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
“After reviewing the company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The financial position at the year-end was considered unsatisfactory by the directors given the operating loss of £2.21k (2023 - profit of £2,034k). This was due to the closure of a residential school during Q2.”
- “The company has net current assets of £25.16m (2023 £26.66m) and net assets are £40.05m compared to £42.3m in the 2023 due to the closure of a school during the year.”
- “The closure in June 2024 of one of the two schools operated by the company has had a significant impact on the finances of the company and impacted on the group's covenant position with lenders.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
