- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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
- “During the year the 2023/24 audited financial statements were not submitted to the DfE by the 31 December 2024 deadline which is a requirement of the Academy Trust Handbook and the Trust's Funding Agreement.”
- “The DfE has judged that one severance payment made during the year could have been seen as a reward for failure. DfE approval had been sought and obtained prior to the payment in accordance with the requirements of the Academy Trust Handbook.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
