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

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “Overall turnover increased by 11.4% before bursaries and discounts. Net revenue growth was 7.4%, reflecting a strategic decision to temporarily hold 'holiday derived' income to focus on investments in IT, security / safeguarding and other infrastructure in the school holidays.”
• “During the financial year, the school transitioned to an outsourced catering model to improve the quality of its overall food services, alongside a significant investment in 1:1 staff devices in preparation for a school-wide rollout in 2024-25.”
• “In July 2024, our subsidiary Wychwood Court (Oxford) Limited won unanimous approval for new state of art boarding houses providing 90 ensuite rooms capable of both single and dual occupancy. This consent granted over superfluous land, has considerably enhanced the school's future assets with the financial impact reflected in next year's audited accounts.”
• “strategic decisions were made this year to finalise the investment for growth that will ensure long-term economic stability, particularly in light of potential structural and taxation changes in the next budget. These decisions have positioned the school well, with the new financial year beginning with the highest pupil enrolment in over 25 years.”
