Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the Trust Board has a reasonable expectation that The MAT has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Trust Board continues to adopt the going-concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “A consultation was carried out in autumn term 2024 for a proposed reduction in Published Admission Number (PAN) to 215 at Perins School from September 2026, reflecting the national falling birth rate and as the pupils from the previous reduction in PAN at SHJS move through to secondary school.”
• “The MAT was successful in securing substantial funding from the Department for Education during the past five years. This has allowed for the significant refurbishment of several buildings at Perins school and the replacement of the roof at SHJS.”
• “The successful CIF bids will tackle areas where urgent fire safety improvements are necessary at both Perins School and Sun Hill Junior School (SHJS). This will include the replacement and addition of fire doors, fire breaks and an updated fire detection system.”
• “There are concerns ongoing with the condition of the electrical systems at Perins school, due to the age and lack of investment over the last 20 years. These will be addressed as part of the CIF electrical works project.”
• “Asbestos remains an ongoing concern. Asbestos across the estate is long standing and managed carefully through the Asbestos Management Plan. Removal of further areas of asbestos at both schools will take place as part of the CIF fire safety projects.”

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
