Going concern

Affirmed

“At the date of approval of the accounts the Charity has an adequate level of cash reserves. Fee income is stable, student numbers have increased and applications for admission to the school and college rolls are growing. The new facilities at Fearnside House enable us to plan confidently for future growth. The Trustees have reviewed the cash forecasts and commitments and are satisfied there are adequate financing arrangements in place. Taking all these factors into consideration the Trustees consider that the Charity should continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “This year also saw national recognition through the National Association of Specialist Colleges (Natspec) Award for Innovation in Student Voice. In addition, the Deaf Academy was awarded an Area of Excellence by Challenge Partners for the second year in a row and for the second-year running the Deaf Academy retained our Eco Schools Green Flag Award.”
• “The Puffin Crossing Appeal raised £30,000, including match funding through a legacy donation, towards the installation of a pedestrian road crossing on Douglas Avenue, outside the Academy. The crossing came into operation in the Autumn 2024 and has benefited students, staff and local community.”
• “During the year 46 new staff were recruited from successful recruitment campaigns. The Staff Survey was very positive in which 96% of staff reported that they enjoy working at the Charity and 97% would recommend it as a great place to work. 98% report good teamwork with colleagues and 97% agree the Academy fosters an inclusive environment.”
• “This year we were awarded the Silver Award for Medium/Large Business of the Year by Exmouth Chamber of Commerce.”

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
