Material uncertainty over going concern
No accounting adjustments have been required at the period-end of 31 March 2025 for the Trust. However, due to the cessation of activities of the Trust, the basis of preparation is technically not a going concern basis. South Craven School continues to operate as a going concern within Apex Collaborative Trust.
