“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the 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
- “Unexpected passing of the founding CEO of the Trust, Dave Baker, in August 2025.”
- “During 2024-25, the Olympus Academy Trust and Futura Learning Partnership worked closely together with the intention of forming a merger. The merger application was approved by DfE's South West Advisory Board in June 2025. Following the CEO's death, the merger was paused and subsequently cancelled.”
- “Abbeywood Community School was inspected by Ofsted in March 2025 and judged as GOOD in all categories.”

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
