The auditor has issued a qualified opinion and identified a material uncertainty regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, citing reliance on future income and the successful outsourcing of a loss-making school. Additionally, the charity has significant outstanding tax liabilities of £267,814 payable to HM Revenue & Customs.
