“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 foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Chiswick School has continued its impressive trajectory of improvement throughout 2024/25, consolidating and extending the successes of the previous year.”
- “Outcomes indicate that results have exceeded national averages in attainment measures, affirming the school's position as a consistently high-performing institution.”
- “The Sixth Form has also reached a significant milestone, with enrolment now exceeding 430 students - the highest figure in the school's history.”
- “Applications for Year 7 have likewise increased substantially, resulting in the largest student body ever recorded at Chiswick School.”
- “In recognition of the school's strong leadership, the School was highly commended with a Bronze Award, in the prestigious Pearson National Teaching Awards.”
- “The Trust continues to be successful in obtaining capital funding, a successful bid for an upgrade to the roofs of the main building and a second building were secured.”
- “Lettings income was raised in the final quarter due to renegotiated contracts and the Trust has benefited from enhanced treasury investments, in the form of fixed notice accounts which have yielded more than originally forecasted owing to the compound effect which has offset the drop in the Bank of England base rate passing.”
- “The Trust is pleased to announce that it has successfully achieved financial reserves levels that meet the guidelines set out by the DFE, and are consistent with those of schools of a similar size.”
- “Moving forward, the Trust continues, with the support of the Regional Director, to consider the formation of a local Multi Academy Trust (MAT), in order to share expertise, resources, and best practices with other schools in the local area.”

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
