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

• “Staff costs were high because of the need to employ more staff to help higher numbers of children who needed additional academic support, and in particular more children with SEN and more children with serious SEN.”
• “Trustees had taken a strategic decision to Increase the amount of senior leadership capacity to support a Head Teacher and Deputy Head Teacher who were both new to the school.”
• “Pupil capacity was full but the financial position has become significantly under pressure.”
• “A new Head Teacher started in September 2024 but stepped down in Spring 2025. Since then, the Deputy Head Teacher has been Acting Head Teacher.”
• “A growing risk to finances is the number of children arriving with SEN; and children arriving with severe SEN whose needs are not met/not fully met through an Educational Health and Care Plan.”
• “Other risks include the Government's award of pay Increases to teachers that are not fully funded and the forthcoming ending of a long-term major letting.”
• “Reserves will fall noticeably once a substantive headteacher takes up post and a full leadership team is in place.”

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
