FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESULTS FOR THE YEAR The total income for the year ending 31 July 2025 amounted to £3,734,571 (2024.. £4,188,175) a decrease of £453,604 on the previous year. Expenditure increased by £108,647 to £4,147,359 {2024.' £4,038,712). The net income before investment gains and losses for the year was -£433,358 (2024.. £125,619). Cash and deposit at the bank has decreased by 48010 bringing the cash in hand to £1,207,854 (2024.. £2,489,455). Reserves Policy The schcM)I's total funds stocd at £7,581,841 as at 31 July 2025, of which £2,601,471 was deployed as part of the school premises and equipment, £469,501 related to the revaluation reserve leaving £4,510,868 as general reserves. As recommended by the School's auditors, the Governors consider that free reseNes of estimated expenditure for a minimum of two ftjll terms is prudent and practicable to cover the risks and uncertainties of operating as an independent educational establishment. The school has worked very hard to build reserves to ensure there remains a sufficient fund to cover future projects and developments to fulfil the needs of the business or comply with government legislation, stsrt-up costs of new educational activities, and day-to-day working capital needs. The resetves policy will be reviewed on an annual basis. Investment Policy Any net incoming resources at the end of the financial year are invested in an interest-earning bank account, when considerations of working capitsl needs are tsken into consideration. It is the policy of the Governors to review the rates on investment accounts on an on-going basis. The Governors shall consult with charity investment experts to ensure that the best rates are obtained to enable funds to grow at the most advantageous rate whilst taking into consideration the need to safeguard the charity's assets against undue risk. PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS At the time of agreeing the accounts for 2024125. the Governors of Palmers Green High School Limited (PGHSI considered that, in view of the continuing fall in pupil number5 at the school, and the predicted operating forecast going fonvard, it was doubtful that it would continue to be financially viable beyond the current school year and, after considering a range of strategic options anticipated that the School would need to be closed. Accordingly, (as outlined in note 1.2 and note 19 of these accounts) they determined that the most effective way to further the charitable objerts of PGHS would be to transfer the entirety of its assets and undertaking to St Alban's Education Group (STAEG). PGHS thus agreed to convey, transfer, assign and/or deliver (as appropriatel the Assets with effert from the 4th March 2026 with full tide guarantee to STAEG and STAEG did from the Transfer Date acquire and tske over the Business, together with such rights, title and interests which PGHS may have in the Assets. After careful consideration of all available options, the Governing Body concluded that there was no realistic prospect of the School returning to a sustainable financial position. As a result, the decision has been taken to cease operations. Page17
