Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “CET's application for a new alternative provision for Cumbria was approved by the Department for Education after a competitive process. The school is provisionally called The Cumberland School and will be based in Carlisle.”
• “Hensingham Primary School was also successful in applying to host a resourced provision, which is scheduled to open in Spring 2025.”
• “four new schools scheduled to join the Trust. Two of the schools, Queen Katherine School and Kirkby Stephen Grammar School, have worked with the Trust for a while... two primary schools in the Kendal area committed to joining the Trust and this is now awaiting formal approval by the Regional Advisory Board.”
• “CET will transition to delivering some functions on a hub basis with the Trust's schools grouped into northern, western and southern hubs. This model will ensure that schools receive the best possible support.”

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
