Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Academy Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, despite the impact of significant cost increases in gas and electricity. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The Trust faces 'Reputational risk' which is mitigated by thorough application of school policies and procedures. 'Performance and financial risk' exists due to potential unexpected reduction in student numbers, changes in central government funding, unbudgeted increases in staff costs and utility costs, and major capital repairs. 'Risks associated with personnel' are mitigated by professional review processes and a commitment to continuing professional development.”
• “For 2025-2026, the Trust plans to focus on: embedding a new curriculum structure, developing consistency in pedagogies, embedding wellbeing initiatives, reviewing and developing provision for all stakeholders, developing strategies to widen access for student admissions and grow the Sixth Form, strengthening alumni relations, and securing external funds for the first phase of WHS Estates strategy.”

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
