Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Bishop Fleming Audit Limited
- 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
- “The Deanery and Kingfisher joined the TPAT family in September 2024 and have embarked on rapid improvement journeys.”
- “Academic outcomes across the Trust remain strong across all phases, with areas of stand-out strength and others which require a more targeted approach.”
- “We have made sustainable progress in closing the disadvantage and SEND gaps.”
- “Attendance across the Trust has improved overall, achieving above the national average.”
- “Suspension and Exclusion rates have reduced across the Trust, having revisited our processes and training for all school leaders, governors and Trustees.”
- “The CEO transition in September 2024 was handled seamlessly, with strong relationships established across the Trust.”
- “Our Sixth Form provision continues to excel, with outcomes placing us in the top 25% nationally for several pathways.”
- “We successfully ended the year with a surplus. In-year savings were achieved through natural staff turnover, targeted structural changes, and the implementation of a more rigorous monthly account management process.”
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
