Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries the Trustees are confident that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. It therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The October 2025 census indicates a positive trend, with anticipated growth reversing the previous decline in pupil numbers. This improvement reflects the successful implementation of the Trust's marketing strategy, which has strengthened community engagement, enhanced visibility, and driven a significant increase in prospective parent interest and ultimately pupil number on roll.”
• “The Trust was successful again in bidding for capital funding under the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF). In the reporting period (March 2025) the Trust secured funding of £1.172 million for two new CIF projects across the Trust, comprising: a fire doors and compartmentation overhaul at Briscoe (£802k) a water quality improvements project at Wickford CofE (£370k).”

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
