“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. The academy trust has revenue reserves at the year end of £830,347 and a strong cash balance of £983,421.”
Significant events
- “The need to review the current staffing structure, when faced with increased staffing requirement in the provision for additional areas including special educational needs, pastoral support and attendance monitoring, became financially challenging during 2024/2025”
- “Student enrolment is challenging, predicted to decline for September 2026 as the student numbers in primary education locally is predicted to drop-off in numbers.”
- “Following the year end the Academy Trust has been awarded £778,887 through an Urgent Capital Support Grant to support the repair works required to parts of the roof.”
- “There remains significant uncertainty as to whether the judgments will result in additional liabilities for UK pension schemes and it is possible that the Department for Work and Pensions will introduce legislation to allow changes to be certified retrospectively.”

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
