Going concern

Affirmed

“The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Academy Trust to continue as a going concern. 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 Academy Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Academy Trust's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Following significant investment in recent years, the Bushey St James Trust has continued to enhance the learning environment across all schools within the MAT. This includes the £4.5 million expansion project and £1.5 million windows and cladding refurbishment at Bushey Meads, as well as the £0.75 million CIF refurbishment at Little Reddings Primary School. These developments... have created a positive environment that has contributed to improved attitudes to learning and student behaviour.”
• “Key projects include the build of a new Specialist Resourced Provision for pupils with Communication Difficulties (CO), including Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) and severe language difficulties/disorders, representing a further £1.4 million investment. Additional improvements include new boilers in H Block and a new roof and school-based nursery at Hartsbourne Primary School, with an investment of nearly £1 million.”
• “Following selection by the DfE Building Schools Programme, the new school at Little Reddings Primary School has now opened, at a total cost of approximately £14 million. Work continues on landscaping, sports facilities. and car parking, with completion expected in the Spring Term of 2026.”

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
