Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Not a going concern (break-up basis)

“Subsequent to the reporting date, on 22 January 2026, the Governors resolved that Rendcomb College ("the College") will close at the end of the summer term in July 2026. The decision was based on the deteriorating financial position of the College, the projected increase in the operating deficit, and the conclusion that continued support from the Rendcomb Foundation was no longer feasible. As a result, the Governors have determined that the College will not continue its operations beyond the end of the 2025/26 academic year. Accordingly, the Governors do not consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. In ceasing to apply the going concern basis of accounting, this includes, where applicable, writing the College's assets down to their net realisable value and making provisions against contracts that have become onerous at the reporting date. No significant adjustments arose as a result of ceasing to apply the going concern basis of accounting.”
