Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Academy's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The Trust saw significant change at the governance and executive level. The Board saw some long-serving trustees stand down, and a number of new trustees with a range and depth of expertise Join.”
• “Another important development in looking to the future was confirmation that WUS will become a Year 7 to 11 secondary school from 2026. A public consultation regarding the change was conducted late 2023, and this led to a change of age range application to the Department for Education in the spring. Permission for this change was granted, and plans for the transition are now well advanced.”
• “Capital funding for building works to assist with the change have been secured from section 106 monies from both Bedford Borough and Central Bedfordshire councils.”

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
