- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Governing Body 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
- “In the past four years alone, the school has experienced three flooding incidents, with two additional occurrences in the previous decade. Most recently, the school flooded twice within a span of just four weeks. As we were in the midst of drying out and preparing the building for reoccupation after the latest flood, a subsequent event occurred, causing significant setbacks. An application for Property Flood Resilience (PFR) funding will be submitted to the Government's Risk Mitigation Service under the Risk Protection Arrangement (RPA).”

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
