Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Trust has adequate resources and cash to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern.”

Significant events

• “Financially, the Trust took difficult but necessary decisions. We ended a facilities management contract that was not delivering value-for-money, brought catering and estates teams in-house, modernised systems, and undertook a reorganisation to protect front-line provision and strengthen long-term sustainability.”
• “Trust compliance rose from 90.43% to over 95% by June 2025, with a further uplift expected following the autumn assurance cycle. The same methodology now underpins our new Attendance audit; a complementary SEND audit is in development.”
• “Across secondary, overall attendance increased by 1.2%, persistent absence fell by 3.8%, with strong academy gains.”
• “Our first Initial Teacher Training cohort (19) achieved a 100% pass rate; 8 trainees are now employed in ATT academies. The 2025-26 cohort (22 trainees) has been successfully recruited amid a challenging market, with 2026-27 applications open.”
• “Leadership NPQs achieved a 100% pass rate, above comparator cohorts; we launched NPQSEND and NPQLPM, and contributed nationally to NPQSENCO design and filmed materials (with Ambition Institute).”
• “In 2024-25 Academic Year the Trust implemented a change to bring in-house both catering and site and facilities staffing from external partners and end a contract for Facilities Management.”
• “The Trust took the decision to embark on a trust wide restructure due to the financial health of the organisation.”
• “The Trust's primary source of estates capital funding was School Condition Allocation (SCA). In 2024-25, this amounted to £2,704k (2023-24: £2,803k).”
• “A large-scale multi-million-pound theatre refurbishment project at Sutton College Academy in Nottinghamshire completed in July 2025. Named Cornerstone, the theatre will host over sixty productions annually.”
• “Our Cloud First Strategy continues, and we have now migrated most of the user and shared data from the onsite academy servers into the Microsoft 365. This has allowed us to reduce hardware, licence and backup costs.”

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
