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

• “The trust operates a Special Academy for pupils aged 3 to 19 serving a catchment area in North East Lincolnshire (NELC) and neighbouring authorities.”
• “It has a place number of 106 and a number on roll (NOR) of 128 in Summer 2025. It has been agreed with NELC, and the Department for Education (DFE) that we will reduce our number to 106.”
• “This will have a catastrophic impact on the school budget moving forward if not controlled effectively in consultation with NELC.”
• “OFSTED (July 2025) Humberston Park School continues to be an 'Outstanding' provision.”
• “In anticipation of the confirmed 4.0% pay award for Teachers pay awards effective from 1 September 2025-and the 3.2% to all support staff - back dated to 01 April 2025 the Academy has allocated a substantial portion of its budget to meet this obligation.”
• “The Academy is also preparing for continued increases in utility costs, which remain a key pressure on the operational budget.”
• “In support of our Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) application for Site 1, the Academy has earmarked £350,000 to contribute to application process and the required funding.”
• “From Summer 2025, the Academy has introduced parental contributions to help sustain the provision for its high-quality three-week Summer School programme in 2026, due to withdrawal of Local Authority funding.”
• “The future of the Healthy Activities Fund grant for 2025-2026 remains uncertain. As such, the Academy is actively exploring alternative funding streams.”
• “Humberston Park School is currently working with NELC to acquire a 2nd site. If successful significant development across both of its sites will form part of a long-term strategy to enhance educational provision and ensure future sustainability.”
• “Site 2 will be comprehensively remodelled and refurbished through a major £6.5 million investment from NELC.”
• “Simultaneously, Site 1 is the focus of a Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) application, aimed at securing capital investment to address priority infrastructure needs.”

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
