Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the governing body has a reasonable expectation that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “During 2024-2025 the Dougie Mac was the academy's charity of choice and fundraising events were held to this effect.”
• “Kitchen - a plan to extend the existing kitchen, which was not sufficient for the demand of meals on a daily basis. The expansion would enable a full cook kitchen for our 700 children on roll.”
• “The Academy of Stars - The academy, supported by the Local Authority SEND team made a request to the DfE for a Deed of Variation to create a new SEN unit within the main school to enrol up to 32 children in 2025/26 and 48 in 2025/26.”
• “Pinewood at The Crescent - The academy has entered into an agreement with the Local Authority to create an alternative provision in the previous Children's Centre building.”
• “Fire System Upgrade - Over the Easter/Summer breaks, the school commenced a two phase upgrade installation.”
• “Further PFI increases in its final year of the agreement. This is due to end on 25 October 2025.”
• “School meal charges have had two further increases in year.”
• “Following a Fire Safety inspection, the academy was deemed to have a below standard alarm system that required an upgrade to the alarm panel and detection system.”
• “The academy recognised a fall in nursery/reception numbers which was a nationwide issue which was due to continue for another year.”

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
