- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries including reviewing cash flow forecasts and five year budgets particularly in light of the changes to the sixth form curriculum, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Academy 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 IB carried out their 5 year review in November 2024. Their findings were very positive and commented on the IB serving as an important driver for the School. The next review for the Middle Years Programme is expected to take place in 2029.”
- “The academic year 2024/25 saw the largest number of Pupil Premium students enrolled in the School to date. As well as the support to meet the entry criteria for the School, there has been significant work on the support on offer to these students and their families.”
- “The Trust Board, in consultation with the Strategic Leadership Team, has taken the decision to transition to an A-Level curriculum for the Sixth Form from September 2026. While the School has consistently achieved outstanding IB Diploma results, demand for the programme has declined steadily in recent years.”
- “The School has undertaken a comprehensive review of the curriculum offer, resulting in a transition from the IB Diploma Programme to an A Level curriculum, alongside a review of recruitment strategies. The change to A-Level will ensure that provision remains viable, attractive, and aligned with staffing capacity, with the aim of securing improved enrolment from 2026 onwards.”

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
