- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the academy has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “The School has been successful in growing pupil numbers in the 6th Form and therefore has seen a corresponding increase in GAG income.”
- “Additionally, the school has been successful in being awarded one of the two Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) bids that it applied for.”
- “Major projects during the year included the complete refurbishment of two DT Food Technology rooms and Phase 2 of the windows project, which replaced the remaining single-glazed windows in the PE, Music, and Art blocks.”
- “Phase 1 of the ground source heating solution replacing the broken and failing boilers has been completed, and Phase 2 is underway, with completion expected in early 2026.”
- “As part of our continued drive toward greater sustainability and safety, we were successful in applying for a CIF grant for fire safety improvements. This project started in summer 2025 and is expected to be completed in early 2026.”
- “The requirement for schools to operate performance related pay progression for teachers was removed in 2024. In order to be equitable to all employees, the academy has also removed performance related pay progression for support staff.”

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
