The accounts state that the Foundation incurred a deficit of £25,609 for the year ended 31 March 2025, marking the second consecutive year where costs exceeded income. Financial management is described as challenging, though the sale of the Church Street site is anticipated to provide significant funds to support the school. The trustees confirm that no uncertainties have been identified that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Foundation to continue as a going concern.
