Material uncertainty over going concern
On 1st September all the assets, liabilities and activities of the Trust were transferred at fair value to South Farnham Educational Trust, a multi-academy trust. From this date the trust ceased all activities. This will be the last set of financial statements prepared and thus the governing body do not deem the academy trust to be a going concern and have therefore prepared these accounts on a basis other than going concern.

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
