Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-08-31 vs 2023-08-31

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
Material uncertainty disclosed

“At the end of the year the Company's balance sheet is in a net liabilities position. The Company is dependent upon financial support from its parent charity, The City and Guilds of London Institute... The company has received written confirmation from its parent that it will continue to provide financial support to the Company for a period of at least 12 months... This indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.”
