Going concern

Affirmed

“The trustees believe that the charity will continue as a going concern. The trustees and the Headteacher, supported by the staff, are in the process of delivering the school's Strategy 2025, with a view to updating this strategy (up to 2027) in the coming months. The continued success of the school (including its financial viability and sustainability) will be based on this strategy which will focus on encouraging student enrolment and student retention, coupled with an annual review of fees and alternative streams of income and fund-raising activities to fully cover operating costs and contribute towards our reserves.”
