Audit opinion

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

• “Additional financial pressures are being faced by the Trust from inflationary cost pressures and an uncertain financial climate resulting in increased financial planning and prudent decision making.”
• “The PV arrays installed in 2023 have produced 287Mw of electricity in 2025 and this is reflected in our ongoing reduction of electricity produced carbon. We completed a PSDS project to decarbonise the energy at one of our schools and developed plans for a further 10 utilising a LCSF grant. The PSDS project comprised the installation of PV, installation of a new BMS system, increased roof insulation and the installation of 2 large air source heat pumps with associated plant.”

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
