“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 2021, the Trust has secured multiple Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) grants to support essential upgrades to the estate. These works include replacing flat roofing, replacing metal-framed single-glazed windows, and carrying out critical fire-safety improvements.”
- “The year to 31 August 2025 saw a decrease in restricted revenue reserves of £405k from £735k in 2024 to a £330k carried forward balance on 31st August 2025. The Unrestricted Income reserves show a surplus of £396k (up from £322k in 2024).”
- “Works identified as urgently required to bring the Trust's Estate and IT infrastructure up to date are progressing and have thus far been funded via a combination of Capital grants and the Trust's own reserves.”

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
