## Key points

- Its 2025 accounts are more than six months overdue.
- The school has partnered with Swiss group Scholarium.

## Summary

Lomond School in Helensburgh, which reportedly has £3 million in debt, has appointed Bitcoin enthusiasts Stefan Ronz and Daniel Werner as governors. Their appointments follow a partnership with Swiss organisation Scholarium, prompting concern among some parents about its founder’s views on education and alternative lifestyles.

The school has not filed its 2025 annual accounts, which are more than six months overdue with charity regulator OSCR. Ronz is a former footballer and founding member of the German Bitcoin Association; Werner has a background in mathematics, software development and robotics. Lomond charges up to £48,000 a year and became the first UK school to accept Bitcoin last year; previous arrangements made by school leaders have collapsed.
