Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2024-08-31 | 2025-08-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | -7.1% | -0.6% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 1.9% | 2.2% | |
| Current ratio | 2.01x | 2.33x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In 2024/2025 the academy conducted its most significant fundraising since its foundation. The Raise the Roof project is building a new performing arts studio at the Lower School to provide purpose-built facilities for its students. A focused campaign facilitated by Charity Extra and the Fundraising and Business Development Working Party led up to a concentrated fundraising weekend in March 2025 raising in excess of £350,000 and resulting in a total of over £650,000 being made available to the project.”

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
