Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate, i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Academy Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Academy Trust's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The school was thrilled to be successful in its Condition Improvement Fund capital bids in the December 2024 round for a Safeguarding & Security Improvements bid for the amount of £917,862 to upgrade the school's site security, and a Fire Door Replacement and Compartmentation Improvements bid for the amount of £726,050 to comply with fire safety requirements.”
• “The successful 2022-2023 Fire & Electrical Wiring bid for the amount of £2,224,244, to replace the electrical wiring & fire alarm system, began in October 2023 and is expected to be completed in September 2025.”

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
