Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net outgoing resource of £25,710 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total free reserves from £128,296 to £102,586. The trustees have set a reserves policy to hold free reserves of at least one term’s fees for all pupils, and the actual free reserves of £97,238 are below the previous year's level but the document does not explicitly state if this meets the current policy target relative to the upcoming year's fees. The filing confirms there are no material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
