Audit & accounting basis

- 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 the Board of Trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the statement of accounting policies.”
Significant events
- “In June 2017, the local community was badly affected by the fire at the Grenfell tower which is located immediately next to the school. Four pupils and one former pupil died in the fire and dozens of students and school staff living in and around the tower were displaced from their homes.”
- “A ministerial decision was taken to start the deconstruction in September 2025 and this is likely to take around 2 years. There will then be a further period when a permanent memorial to the fire is built.”
- “The total cost of the School Expansion Project was £5,425k, of which £995k was paid for by a DfE grant from the Condition Improvement Fund. The balance was paid by the local authority. The cost of the project has been capitalised into these accounts as a donated asset.”

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
