“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. The Academy Trust's free reserves reduced by £84k, bringing total reserves to call upon up to £385k. This deficit in the year is predominantly the result of lower pupil numbers at the census date in October 2023 and planned capital expenditure to improve the trust's buildings and estate. The Trustees have carried out a rigorous budgeting process for 2024/2025 and looked at different scenarios for reduced income, with sufficient free reserves in each case. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies note of the financial statements.”

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
