Going concern
Affirmed

“At the time of approving the accounts, the Governors have a reasonable expectation that the School has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The School has sufficient funds to support continued operations for at least a period of 12 months from the date of the financial statements. Thus, the Governors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.”

Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
