- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Governing Board 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 accounts.”
Significant events
- “This academic year marked the first in a long time without significant disruption. We were able to hold our Year 7 and Year 12 Open Evenings as planned, with attendance at both events as high as ever. Despite the historic RAAC remedial works and our inclusion in the Department for Education's School Rebuilding Programme (SRP)”
- “Given the national shortage of teachers entering the profession, recruitment and retention will continue to be a significant challenge in the years ahead.”
- “Based on the 2024 exams results, the school was recognised in The Sunday Times Parent Power list as performing in the top 2% of state schools nationally. Additionally, we were honoured to be named the number one state school for sport in the country”

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
