Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity ended the year with unrestricted reserves of £71,013.88, an increase from the previous year. The Trustees report that the financial position has improved largely due to increased hourly rates for government-funded places. They note that while maintaining pupil numbers may be a challenge due to expanded government funding for younger children, the current reserves are sufficient to assist in unexpected situations.
