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

Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

Significant events

• “Income from school fees decreased to £8,481k, a fall of 17% against the previous year (2024 school fee income: £10,227k). This largely reflects the School's decision to absorb the cost of VAT on school fees, as well as the impact of a sector-wide decrease in pupils.”
• “There was also an increase in donations in the year, largely driven by a legacy gift (£278k against £193k in 2024).”
• “Total expenditure, before restructuring was £9,958k (2024 £10,556k), a decrease of 6% largely as a result of the 2024 restructuring programme designed to enable the school to achieve its commitment not to pass on VAT on fees to current or future pupils.”
• “In 2024/25 there was a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of £127k (2023/24 increase of £1,808k). The bank overdraft facility is subject to annual review and the bank have renewed the facility for an additional year.”
