“After making appropriate inquiries, the board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the multi 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

New Invention Learning Academy converted to academy trust status under the Academies Act 2010 on 1 September 2024, with all operations, assets and liabilities transferred to Primary Learning Trust from Wallsall Metropolitan Borough Council.”

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
