Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's or parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The charity was graded 'good' by Ofsted in July 2024, following an 'inadequate' inspection in February 2023 which resulted in a recruitment pause sanction imposed by the ESFA, this had a negative impact on income during 2023-24.”
• “Two Alliance Learning apprentices have also reached the 'World Skills' national finals taking place later this year.”

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
