Material uncertainty over going concern
However, at the date of approving the financial statements the Trust does not have certainty over the availability of this financial support from the DfE. As such, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern.

Significant events
- “The increase in this deficit position was primarily due to two factors. Firstly, this deficit was partly forecast due to the installation of new boilers... Secondly, the Trust has received an unsuccessful judgment in a long-standing legal claim.”
- “The settlement and costs of the judgment are still to be finalised at the point of approving the financial statements, but the Trustee's best estimate of the costs at this date are £98,000.”

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
