- Audit opinion

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Trust Board has a reasonable expectation that the 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 financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 1st January 2025, Buttsbury Infant School closed and Buttsbury Junior School expanded its age range from 7-11 to 4.-11. The school also officially changed its name to Buttsbury Primary School on 11th July, 2025.”
- “The school had two rooms identified as having RAAC, in August 2023. It has been a challenging year to manage this - the Small Hall is still out of use but a demountable classroom has been installed for use as a classroom. The school is working closely with the DfE and LA and the remediation work finally started in May 2025 and is expected to be completed during the Autumn term; The fire safety project, funded by a £274,000 CIF bid has reached practical completion”
- “The School is impacted by the RAAC issue but has been proactive in response and all children remain in face-to-face education.”
- “As a result og Buttsbury Infant School amalgamating with Buttsbury Junior School, there has been a settlement gain of £102,000 (Assets transferred £916,000 Liabilities transferred £814,000). The £102,000 has been included within service costs in the Statement of financial activities.”

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
