Material uncertainty over going concern
The Trust is merging with another Multi Academy Trust. It is anticipated that all the assets, liabilities and activities of the Trust will be transferred within twelve months. From this date the Trust would be expected to cease all activities. Accordingly, the accounts have been prepared on a basis other than a going concern.

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
