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.

Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the board of trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “During 2024-25, the School delivered a wide range of educational activities and enrichment programmes. These included theatre visits across multiple year groups, fieldwork trips for GCSE and A Level Geography and Biology students, Duke of Edinburgh Award activities, sports competitions, drama, technology, and art clubs, LAMDA sessions, and careers-focused events. A number of guest speakers also visited the School to inspire students and support their aspirations.”
• “The School further embedded its collaborative learning initiatives with Queen Elizabeth's School, Barnet, under the umbrella programme QE Together. These joint projects provided valuable shared learning opportunities for students and included activities in Art, Design, and Technology. Collaboration between the two school's Sixth Forms also provides opportunity for Community Service projects which included an extensive litter picking programme along Barnet's Dollis Brook bankside.”
• “GCSE outcomes confirmed that the School remains among the highest-performing wholly non-selective girls' state schools for students aged 11-19. At A Level, student performance remained strong, with an average grade of C. This is consistent with 2019 pre-pandemic outcomes, which the JCQ intentionally used as a benchmark when setting national grade standards.”
• “At A Level, results were marginally lower than the previous year for specific and identifiable reasons. Further interventions are already in place to mitigate against the potential for this to be repeated either in the current year or going forward. The overall pass rate at A Level (A2) was 95% with over 71% of grades at A*-C and just under half of grades A*-B. There was an improvement in A*-C grades from the previous year (67%). Regrettably there was an increase in U grades.”
• “This summer at GCSE level, the DfE national performance measure used was different from previous years. This was a response to the fact that the cohort had no KS2 data due to missed primary schooling in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic. The DfE relied on Attainment 8 data rather than Progress 8 which was not measurable.”
• “The school has formulated a new three year plan to set out the next strategic phase in the School's development, "Thrive Today. Lead Tomorrow." Its new strategic pillars allow the School flexibility required to make changes that will secure its future as a centre of excellence for girls aged 11-19.”
