Going concern

Affirmed

“Funding agreements are in place with the DfE in respect of all the academies managed by the Trust. This funding is agreed annually in advance for each school. The Directors consider that these arrangements deliver sufficient length of notice to provide reasonable surety of continuing income support from central government. The Trust uses the predictability of the annual grant to prepare financial forecasts. Based upon pupils on roll in October 2025 the Trust has produced revenue forecasts to 31 August 2028 to ensure a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements is considered for going concern purposes. These financial forecasts give assurance that these accounts should be prepared on a going concern basis.”

• “At the beginning of the academic year 2024-25 of the Trust's nine schools, one was judged outstanding by Ofsted, and the other eight were judged to be good. During 2024-25, two schools were inspected by Ofsted and both received the highest grades: Haberdashers' Hatcham Free School (Outstanding, June 2025), Haberdashers' Hatcham College (Ungraded inspection, Outcome 2, November 2024).”
• “In September 2025 the Habs Aspire Mentoring Programme was launched fully across all four Trust sixth forms. Building on last year's successful pilot at Haberdashers' Hatcham College and Haberdashers' Crayford Academy, the programme is now available to every Year 12 student.”
• “2025-26 marks the twentieth anniversary year of the Trust becoming a multi academy trust and a number of events are planned across the year to celebrate this milestone and share what makes the Trust and each of our schools special.”

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
