- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Governors have adopted a policy of building up reserves while the future strategy was being developed. They are, therefore, confident that the School remains a going concern.”
Significant events
- “Prior to the implementation of VAT on school fees in January 2025 Governors made the decision not to pass on the full 20% of VAT to fee payers. Therefore, the autumn term fees were reduced by 9% so that fees including VAT for the Spring and Summer 2025 terms increased by only 11% rather than 20%.”
- “The School also received a legacy of £200,000 during the year (2023/24: £Nil).”
