ENDEAVOUR SCHOOLS TRUST LTD

• ⚠

  Material uncertainty over going concern

  As described in the Directors' Report, following approval by the Headteacher Board, it is anticipated that Endeavour Schools Trust will convert into The Shires MAT on 1 January 2026 and cease activities at this date. This will result in all of the assets, liabilities and activities being transferred out of the trust. Accordingly, the Directors have prepared these accounts on a basis other than as a going concern.

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
