Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- McCabe Ford Williams
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Academy Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Board of Trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.”
Significant events
- “We centralised the finance operations function across our Trust six months earlier than planned, delivering significant savings across our schools while retaining key talent.”
- “Having taken on TGA aware of the fragility of its performance, we supported the leadership team through an ungraded Ofsted inspection and built leadership capacity to deliver improvement into the coming 2025-26 academic year.”
- “We pursued discussions with the leadership team of another secondary school to bring them into the Trust, but were unable to secure agreement from their governing body. An informal MOU was instead put in place, to ensure close informal collaboration and leave options open for the relationship in future.”
- “In the year ended 31 August 2025, on a consolidated basis this calculation would equate to a minimum reserves requirement of £1,575k.”
- “As at 1 September 2024 Temple Grove Primary School transferred into the Skinners' Academies Trust.”
- “The Trust did not however obtain prior approval from DfE for this arrangement to continue post 1 September 2025 and accordingly this is a breach of paragraphs 1.34 and 1.45 of the Academy Trust Handbook.”

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
