- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Academy Trust's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statement is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on Harborne Academy's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Outcomes for year 2024-25 showed an improvement on 2023-24, and attendance was above national average, with the academy recognized in the top ten percent of schools.”
- “A 2-year fixed contract for Gas and Electricity started from April 2025 to continue to March 2027.”
- “New contractors were awarded a 3-year contract for catering, starting from July 2025 until June 2028.”

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
