Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-08-31 | 2025-08-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | -5.0% | -4.8% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 6.6% | 2.1% | |
| Current ratio | 2.41x | 2.35x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.
Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- James Cowper Kreston Audit
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Governors, including all Committees, has a reasonable expectation that the Academy 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
- “narrowing the Pupil Premium attainment gap, improving outcomes for SEND students and raising the academic achievement in KS4 (GCSE) and KS5 (6th Form) in specific subject areas.”
- “greater engagement in enrichment activities, a greater sense of community, improved behaviour across all year groups and further development of skills that will properly equip our students for their life after FPSS.”
- “wellbeing across the whole school, students and staff, and promote a sustainability culture.”
- “school's new mobile phone policy, which launched at the start of the summer term and we will monitor its impact on attainment and behaviour across the coming school year.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
