WALHAMPTON SCHOOL TRUST LTD.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net loss of £108,470 for the year ended 31 August 2025, a reversal from the previous year's surplus, which was attributed to the introduction of VAT on school fees. Per the trustees' report, the school maintains a positive overall reserve position including tangible fixed assets, although it reports a deficit in free reserves of £54,652. The trustees believe the school is able to operate with this deficit provided forecast cash flows remain sufficient to meet anticipated requirements.
What the accounts disclose
“The Governors believe it desirable over the longer term that the School should move towards a positive free reserves balance through the retention of operating surpluses, where to do so is consistent with the needs of the School and with the Strategic Development Plan.” — page 7
