STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Results Consortium is a higher education provider dedicated to widening participation and delivering high-quality, career-focused education. As an OfS-approved English higher education institution, we aim to create meaningful opportunities for ambitious students who are eager to make a strong impact in their careers.
Our academic programmes are designed to enhance both professional skills and employability. Through an innovative, hands-on approach, we ensure students gain the practical knowledge and industry-relevant experience needed to succeed.
Our directors are committed to continuous improvement and maintain a strong culture of reflection, drawing on feedback from learners, partners, and stakeholders to strengthen our provision. As part of our long-term strategic vision, we aspire to achieve degree-awarding powers in the UK and to deliver education that meets rigorous quality-assurance standards through effective, transparent quality systems.
In alignment with this vision, the Consortium has developed a range of undergraduate programmes in collaboration with reputable universities, ensuring that our students benefit from both academic excellence and strong industry engagement.
The directors are satisfied with the company’s overall performance and remain confident that turnover and profitability will continue to improve in the foreseeable future. To sustain steady growth, the company is committed to continuously strengthening both its digital and physical infrastructure. Investment in digital content and IT systems supports a proactive learning approach, enhancing teaching and learning engagement for students, and ultimately improving retention and success rates.
As part of this commitment, the company has undertaken a comprehensive digital transformation, including significant upgrades to the student management system to enable smoother transitions, better data capture, and enhanced reporting. These improvements facilitate more data-driven decision-making, aligning operational performance with the strategic goals of the organisation.
As part of our business strategy, Microsoft Intune is being implemented to enhance the overall security and resilience of our IT infrastructure. Intune provides centralised management and protection of all devices and applications, ensuring that only compliant, secure, and trusted endpoints can access company resources. Enforcing strong security policies reduces operational risk across the organisation.
In addition, the company has implemented new Talent Management software across all departments to drive efficiency, ensure accuracy, and improve the overall employee experience. This investment ensures that human resources processes are streamlined and that staff development and engagement are optimised to support the organisation’s objectives.
Market trends indicate that flexibility in education is a key factor for students when choosing higher education programmes. Technological advancements now make it possible to deliver engaging, immersive learning experiences that develop both hard and soft skills, preparing students for future professional roles. By continuing to invest in IT infrastructure and digital resources, the company ensures that these experiences are delivered effectively, complementing and enhancing the overall teaching and learning environment.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025
Although the college operates as a profit-making entity, it remains firmly committed to its social responsibilities.
The institution delivers a range of meaningful public benefits, including:
∙Increasing access for disadvantaged individuals by providing the support, qualifications, and skills necessary for meaningful career progression and long-term advancement.
∙Expanding educational accessibility through the use of digital platforms and advanced technology, enabling flexible learning for a wider community.
∙Contributing to local economic growth by engaging with employers and supporting workforce development.
∙Delivering high-quality education and fostering strong learner engagement through effective, research informed teaching and learning practices.
The majority of the company’s income is ultimately funded by the UK Government, accessed through direct contracts and sub-contracting arrangements.
The primary risk facing the company is any change in government policy or funding priorities. In the higher education sector, funding is closely linked to Government initiatives and is allocated on an annual basis. Changes in these priorities can directly impact the company’s financial stability and operational planning.
Post-Brexit shifts, ongoing social mobility challenges, and national skills shortages further highlight the importance of sustained Government investment in further and higher education. Any reduction or redirection of funding could affect the company’s ability to deliver its programmes, support students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and achieve strategic growth objectives.
The company's turnover has increased from £4.93 million in 2024 to £8.76 million in the current year. Also, operating profits increased from £891k in 2024 to £1.88 million in the current year.
The company remains financially viable, supported by consistently positive retained earnings and a strong liquidity position, as evidenced by a high current ratio.

Competition
The provision of degree courses in the UK, particularly in major cities such as London, is highly competitive, with students able to choose between public universities, private universities, and independent providers. The company addresses this competitive risk by consistently maintaining high standards, delivering quality teaching, and ensuring strong student satisfaction. Additionally, the college operates in Northampton and is expanding its presence with a new campus in Crewe, enhancing access for students in these regions.
Global economic uncertainty
The recent waves of global economic uncertainty present challenges for many businesses, including those in the higher education sector. In response, the governing board is proactively exploring opportunities to broaden the scope of the organisation and strengthen long-term resilience. As outlined in the strategic report, the college aims to introduce new academic programmes in collaboration with reputable university partners. This approach not only supports diversification of the curriculum but also enhances the institution’s competitiveness, sustainability, and ability to respond effectively to evolving student and industry needs. Additionally, the college continues to monitor market trends and external risks to inform strategic decision-making and ensure continued growth in an unpredictable economic environment.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years. Development cost of Computer software is amortised over 5 years on straight line basis.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially
