## From the administrators' statement

The Company is a registered charity founded in 1879 trading as St Lawrence College an all through day and boarding school set on 85 acres of land in Ramsgate, teaching pupils from reception through to 18 years of age.

At the start of the FY26 the School had 402 pupils, 119 Junior School pupils and 283 Senior School pupils including 125 boarders.

Following the introduction of VAT on school fees in January 2025 there was a marked decline in the affordability of fees for families which had a significant impact on pupils’ entering private education. This has especially affected boarders and the pupil numbers at entry levels — being reception, year 7 and lower sixth form.
