- Going concern
- 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 foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Following the identification of the presence of RAAC in 2023, and a fire in 2024 which left 3 classrooms and some communal areas unusable, the DfE has brought forward the rebuild of White Hall Academy. It is currently at the planning stage, with works potentially commencing towards the end of 2026 and an estimated completion date of 2029.”

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
