Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“Rising energy costs, an underfunded national teacher pay increase for the 2024/25 academic year, and a higher number of children on roll with SEND (combined with funding that does not match the true cost to the Academy) have placed additional financial pressure on the Academy. Despite these factors, the board of governors have made their usual enquiries, and additional considerations, and have a reasonable expectation that the Academy remains in a position of having adequate resources to continue in operational existence. It has reviewed its cash reserves and is assured that there is funds to continue its offering. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

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
