Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a consolidated deficit of £2.3m for the year ended 31 August 2025, driven by rising inflation, VAT on fees, and increased financing costs. Despite this loss, the trustees maintain that the school has adequate resources to continue as a going concern, supported by unrestricted funds of £15.8m and managed cash flow, although unrestricted reserves have decreased from £18.0m in the prior year.
