From the administrators' statement
Originally founded in 1549, the School was a long-established independent school in Kirkham, Preston, Lancashire. The School operated as a charity and provided co-educational education from nursery through to sixth form, serving approximately 670 students across its junior and senior schools.
The School had experienced sustained financial and liquidity pressure over recent years. Profitability had deteriorated due to a combination of sector-wide and School-specific factors, including pressure on pupil numbers, increased operating costs, the introduction of VAT on independent school fees, the removal of charitable business rates relief and increased employer National Insurance contributions.
Further detail on the background of the Company and the events leading up to the Administration is outlined in the SIP 16 Statement to Creditors at Appendix H, which should be read in conjunction with this report and was previously provided to creditors on 23 July 2026.
