Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of governors has a reasonable expectation that the Academy has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “In March 2025 Ofsted found that sixth form provision and personal development of students were good. Quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management were judged as requiring improvement.”
• “There was an actuarial gain on the LGPS defined benefit pension scheme due to a rise in the value of scheme assets taking the overall surplus on the scheme to £3,535,000 compared to a surplus of £2,124,000 in the previous year.”
• “During 2024-25, reserves of approximately £50,000 had to be used for urgent heating replacement, following the failure of boilers on part of the site which had been scheduled for a future capital funding bid.”
• “In September 2024 the Academy's new Principal launched a new set of strategic statements and a completely revised Academy Development Plan.”

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
