Material uncertainty over going concern
An application has been made to the Department for Education for QEGSMAT and Djanogly Learning Trust (DLT) to merge. This will be considered by the East Midlands Advisory Committee in due course, and subject to their approval, the two Trusts will aim to merge on 1 September 2025. At the date of signing, there has been no decision regarding which Trust will transfer to the other, therefore it is possible that the assets and liabilities of QEGSMAT may transfer to DLT. In this event, QEGSMAT would cease to continue in operational existence and as such Trustees have determined there is a material uncertainty with regards to 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
