“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of Governors has a reasonable expectation that the Academy Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “The Academy is no longer using admission criterion based on banding assessments due to the expanding housing in the local area and prioritising places for local families. The Academy is significantly over PAN in years 7 to 10. There remains significant housing development in progress in the local area and, due to the popularity of the school and the demand for places we remain over full. We are actively exploring ways to enable adequate and appropriate accommodation to meet the increasing needs of the community. We are currently working with the Football Foundation to improve sporting facilities through a 3G pitch conversion bid.”

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
