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 Trust'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 continued its mission to ensure that pupils achieved their potential in public examinations; encouraged a wide range of extra-curricular activities; developed and retained suitable staff and prepared and guided pupils as they move to the next stage of their education career. Formal examinations and assessments were undertaken in 2025.”
• “In the year 2 of the Trusts schools were inspected by Ofsted, with Hinguar Community Primary School achieving a Good Ofsted judgement. Thorpedene Primary School was inspected under the interim framework with no overall effectiveness judgement. Good judgements were recorded for Behaviour and Attitudes as well as Personal Development. Quality of Education, Leadership and Management and Early Years Provision were graded as Requires Improvement. This aligned with the Trusts own assessment and the improvement journey the school is undergoing.”

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
