“After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Academy has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the 'going concern' basis in preparing the financial statements. It has made this assessment in respect to a period of at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Statement of Accounting Policies on page 37.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-08-31 vs 2024-08-31

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
