- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Academy 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
- “Attendance at school continued to rise during 2024-25, as a result of continued strategic work carried out by the attendance team. Attendance levels rose to above local and national averages.”
- “The learning culture of the academy has continued to develop and improve during the year under review. This learning culture extends to every classroom and also includes opportunities for professional learning by members of staff.”
- “Oversubscription in Year 7 has caused the academy to offer 45 more places in 2025, and to keep the published admission number under review in future.”
- “Attainment and progress measures were higher in 2025 than in the previous year; male students achieved less well than female students, and the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and all students narrowed significantly (based upon estimates).”
- “Attainment and progress measures in the Sixth Form were the highest in recent years for Lord Lawson.”

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
