Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Academy Trust's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Over the past few years we have completed some large capital projects, including the replacement of several failing roofs and the replacement of all our single glazed windows to more energy efficient ones, as well as two new classroom blocks. We have also upgraded all the major lighting in the school to become much more energy efficient and were previously successful in our bid for funding towards the replacement of our (very old and failing) heating and boiler system. Works on this project will be starting early Autumn 2025. In addittion, we have just commenced building works on another new 8 classroom block which is scheduled to be completed in January 2027.”

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
