- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“At the resources meeting in July 25, the governors agreed that the school remained a going concern based on the following 3 points: 1) Ofsted rating - the school was rated 'good' by Ofsted in July 2022, the third time in a row that the school had been judged as good. GTS is unlikely to be visited again in the near future, and there are no concerns with regards to Ofsted. 2) Exam results - GTS achieved good results in 2024 (results for 2025 were not available at the time of the discussion). 3) Finance - the financial position of the school is stable. A surplus is predicted for the financial year 24/25 and whilst there are deficit forecast budgets for the years 25/26 and 26/27, areas for savings have been identified and will be reviewed.”
Significant events
- “GCSE results in 2025 were down on the previous year and below the targets expected, in what was identified as a weaker cohort. Detailed analysis of results has indicated that attendance was a common barrier as were a disproportionate number of pupils with learning needs and complex lives.”
- “There has clearly been a significant level of turbulence in the marking and grading process as a large number of pupils exams have been remarked and upgraded.”
- “Staff absence continued to be an issue. Supply teachers were very hard to find and SLT once again had to cover significant numbers of lessons resulting in some strategic functions/processes being hindered.”
- “The number of pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN), including mental health, are increasing dramatically. GTS is recognised as a school that supports pupils with these individual needs effectively and it is evident that this has added to the numbers.”
- “During the year, the school successfully secured funding through the Condition Improvement Fund to carry out significant repairs to the school roofs.”

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
