Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“After consideration of the Trust's financial position, the level of reserves held, its financial plans, (including projected pupil numbers at Thames Valley School, Church Lawton and Vanguard Schools), the demand for places and the broader environment, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events

• “Appointed 1 new Trustee, enhancing further the highly skilled and expert governance structure.”
• “Achieved Level 3 Disability Leadership status in November 2024 - the only MAT in the country to achieve this.”
• “Achieved Cyber Essentials Accreditation in June 2025.”
• “Achieved a 'Good' Ofsted inspection, across all areas at Vanguard School, in July 2025.”
• “In this academic year, unfortunately one permanent exclusion was issued at Thames Valley School, where the young person's behaviour was a danger to themselves and others.”

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
