- 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, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Since academisation from an MoD school, the Academy has been sponsored by the MoD. As part of this arrangement, the MoD provides funding via a Grant in Aid budget.”
- “As a result of the considerable reduction in the funding of the MOD there has been and will continue to be significant change in the policies relating to the education of the children of serving personnel.”

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
