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

• “The Academy Trust is reporting a deficit position for the year of £387,903.”
• “The school has now completed its expansion programme and is now in receipt of the related funding, following one year of lag.”
• “Targeted fundraising continued and a relaunched Student Experience Fund is starting to see the benefits of recent communications.”
• “The laptop leasing scheme that was established last year has proven to be a success with a much larger percentage of students moving onto this scheme earlier than originally envisaged.”
• “Financial control of budgets has remained high due to sustained pay and non-pay inflationary pressures, with a large deficit expected for 2024/25.”
• “Estate management risk remains high due to RAAC presence and two buildings being closed; temporary accommodation is in place, and RAAC removal is expected by October 2026.”

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
