“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.”
Significant events
- “Beech Hill commenced construction of its new hall during the year, with completion expected in 2026. The project is being financed through previously accumulated reserves alongside additional income generated from new housing developments in the local area.”
- “The school also holds a 3G pitch which, under the terms of the original Football Foundation agreement, is required to be replaced within the next four years. During the year the school obtained a quote for the replacement, with the expected cost being £167,000.”

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
