Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Crowe U.K. LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Governors' 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 charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The introduction of VAT on School Fees from January 2025 together with higher taxes on employment and inflationary pressures, all contributed to the significant fall in the surplus for the year.”
- “During the year a total of £401,731 (2024: £1,240,395) was spent on capital projects to enhance the appearance, security and functionality of the School.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
