Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

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 may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Academy 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 has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Academy'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 Inclusion Quality Mark was reaccredited in 2025.”
• “The reaccreditation in 2024 of the prestigious International School Award highlighted the range of activities covering key international themes and the positive impact this work has on our student body.”
• “The Academy's Sixth Form is a major success, with increased numbers across the two years. This year sees 130 students joining the sixth form with 110 leaving at the end of Year 13.”
• “retirement of the existing Head Teacher at the end of the academic year and change in Governance roles, particularly a change of Chair.”
• “The Board of Trustees appointed a new clerk (governance professional) who commenced in January 2025 after a handover from the existing clerk.”
• “Trustees have been active in discussions about potentially joining a Multi Academy Trust (MAT). The decision was made to not progress with the MAT for several reasons, the main being the risk to the financial stability of CWLC.”

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
