“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. In assessing this, the Finance and Resource Committee and the Trust Board have considered the budget for the year ending 31 August 2026 and the longer-term financial plan for the subsequent 2 years, which sets out a plan to achieve an in-year surplus in each future financial year. The Trust's budget setting and resource allocation are based on the curriculum-led need for each academy. The Finance and Resource Committee has also considered the cash flow forecast up to 31 August 2028 and the income and expenditure result for the first two months of the year ending 31 August 2026. The trustees have considered the risks to the achievement of the budget and longer-term plan and consider the budget and plan, which have been approved by the board of trustees, to be a balanced and achievable view.”

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
