- Audit opinion
- 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 accounts. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the statement of accounting policies.”
Significant events
- “Ofsted, the education regulator undertook a full inspection visit of the academy in January 2025 and rated the academy as GOOD in all aspects.”
- “During the period in review, the Academy fully opened the new teaching containing 10 additional classrooms.”
- “In 2023 and 2024, the Academy submitted two successful bids for Condition Improvement Funding (CIF) to replace a significant amount of the electrical infrastructure of the buildings that are around 60 years old. Both projects were completed within the financial year 2024/25 at a cost of circa £800,000.”
- “In addition, a further successful, risk based bid to remove and replace the cladding on the two gable ends of the three-storey teaching block, was successful. The main body of the work has been carried out in the summer of 2025 and will be completed in term one 2025/26. The successful grant is for £444,000.”

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
