- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees 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 the period, the continuing drop in pupil numbers, resulted in the completion of a staffing restructure and a reduction in staffing was planned from September 2025.”
- “The scheme came to an end in October 2025 and has been replaced. The new contract was negotiated using the DfE approved Crescent Consortium and will ensure compliance for the Academy. In a change to the previous contract, energy and water were sourced and are now provided separately.”
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
