FINANCIAL/OPERATIONAL REVIEW There are now three main element5 to the College l). Adagio College-Further and Higher Education 2). Adagio School - After school and weekend activities 3), Private Exam Centre Adagio College We now offer 2 BTEC courses, HNC and HND in dance and performing art5. th Now in its 5 year the BTEC has steadily 8rown each year by 20% and we are forecasting this growth to continue into 2027.
After school and weekend activitles The year has been solid with a school show boosting revenues with associated costs. The trend is not encouraging currently in these uncertain times we are Seeing with a slight drop off year on year in numbers and revenue. This is the currently the most challenging part of the business. Private Exam Centre We are now offering GCSE/GCE exams as a private centre with a focus on alternative provision. This has grown quickly, and we find demand is outstripping space availability in core subjects. Contracts with Essex and Havering and their alternative providers has seen this part of the business grow significantly. Going forward the challenges are finding qualified staff to deal with the complex educational needs we need to deliver. Financial review The college has grown significantly in revenue (+59.60A), but expenditure has grown faster (+66.2YI, squeezing surplus slightly {£87.6k vs £67.7k}. The surplus margin fell from 17.8% to 14.4%. Whilst the growth is healthy, the focus is now on operational efficiencyto protect the surplus as a buffer against future volatility. The addition of the school shows every other year always inflates revenue and associated costs so we anticipate a drop off in revenue in the current year, but this will be matched by a reduction in costs. We are happy to report that our ongoing commitment to student scholarships and Ballet Futures has resulted In awards totalling £47776 for the year. PREPARATION OF THE REPORT This report has been prepared taking advantage of the small company's exemption of section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
