Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The governors make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements and have concluded that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the academy trust's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “IT infrastructure was upgraded during summer 2025.”
• “The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is a world-renowned mark of achievement, which can encourage all pupils regardless of their background or academic ability to expand their talents and interests, broaden their horizons and develop their character. The Steiner Academy Hereford is a directly licensed centre and we have completed our seventh year of successfully offering the D of E to our pupils.”
• “The academy also benefitted from a donation of £3000 from the Friends of the Steiner Academy in respect of the school shop and during 2024/25, fundraising commenced for donations to enable the academy to purchase a replacement minibus. The campaign is on-going and to date has raised an incredible £17,800.”
• “During 2024-25 there was significant investment in the fabric of the school estate including phase 2 of a project to improve the car park and access road.”
• “The main heating pump was replaced in the autumn to ensure that classrooms and other spaces would be adequately heated during the winter months.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
