- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The school continues to work closely with the ESFA/DfE and the Board of Trustees have a reasonable expectation that with this continued support; the UTC will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees confirm that the current cashflow forecast indicates we have enough funds for the current academic year and with the continued support from the ESFA/DfE, this gives us reason to continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing our financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Our brand-new workshop block and sports pavilion opened in September 2022 and has negated the need for the lease and use of temporary facilities as in previous academic years.”
- “The Energy Coast UTC delivers core academic provision at both GCSE and TLevels, with students receiving vocational BTEC and industry standard qualification related training, which is being delivered in our new workshop facilities - which opened in September 2022.”
- “Energy coast UTC was inspected by Ofsted in March 2023 and judged to be good in every area.”
- “The Trust is being encouraged by Regional Schools Commissioner (RSC) to join a Multi Academy Trust (MAT). The Trustees and UTC leadership will continue to explore this during 2025/26.”

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
