The Charity provides independent education for boys and girls aged 3-11 at The Gregg Preparatory School and 11-16 at The Gregg School.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £64,526 for the year ended 31 August 2025, resulting in unrestricted funds of £2,038,936. The trustees note that after excluding fixed assets and adding back bank loans, there are negative free reserves of £1,075,043, but this is mitigated by secured cash flow from fees received in advance of £3,306,196.
