“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
- “Work on both projects proceeded apace during July and August 2025, with the new heating system at the Main School going live in October 2025.”
- “The school has continued to experience challenges in recruiting qualified teaching staff during the academic year which has resulted in above average teaching supply costs, attributed to limited availability of specialised educators within the Lancashire and surrounding area.”
- “The school tendered for utility contractors and as a result changed provider at the beginning of September 2024, as a result the school has improved efficiencies and made cost savings of 36%.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
