Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the Group returned a pre-investment surplus of £81k and a post-investment surplus of £359k for the year ended 31 August 2025, despite facing challenges such as the introduction of VAT on school fees and increased operational costs. The Group held unrestricted funds of £26.6m and free reserves of £2.9m, which the Trustees consider sufficient to meet liabilities as they fall due and continue as a going concern.
