Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the group had net outgoing resources of £275,367 for the year, resulting in a decrease in total net assets to £48,971,015. The trustees report that the school has no current free reserves as unrestricted reserves are less than the net book value of fixed assets, a situation expected to continue for several years due to planned building projects. However, the trustees are confident that resources available through external bank finance are adequate for projected requirements.
