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

• “As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, leaders have introduced changes to the curriculum in a shorter time frame than originally planned. This has resulted in additional workload pressures for staff.”
• “Additionally, there have been substantial extraordinary costs associated with the increased energy costs and the impact of the way in Ukraine, with very little in terms of additional funding from the DfE.”
• “The lettings business has seen a "bounce back" after periods of closure seen in previous accounting periods, demonstrating the overall resilience of this business.”

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
