Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- UHY Hacker Young (Birmingham) LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In September 2024, an almost entirely new leadership team was established with the appointment of a new principal and the recruitment of three new assistant principals. These appointments were made to deliver the strategic intent of Silverstone UTC with a swifter and greater impact from this date forwards.”
- “In 24/25 there was significant turnover of teaching staff as a new leadership culture was established. A degree of governance turnover also occurred as some longstanding trustees reached the end of their terms of office and the board sought to assess and fill skills gaps on the board.”
- “In September 2024 there was a significant restructuring of the leadership team with the appointment of a new Principal (previously in post as a Deputy Principal at SUTC) and three new Assistant Principals. This strategic team is tasked with driving improvement at a more rapid pace in response to the concerns that were raised by OFSTED in their November 2023 report.”

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
