Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Affinia (Orpington)
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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, the Board of Trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements.”
Significant events
- “Academic progress has been positive with data broadly in line with expectations and reflecting individual cohort variations. Demonstrable progress has been made on the key curriculum observation made in the Ofsted inspection in June 2023, being ensuring equally high standards across all foundation subjects, not just the core subjects which were already strong.”
- “Continued the conscious investment programme in the school, notably the new school roof, air conditioning and heating units to complete a multi-year programme of upgrades, a new set of class iPads and the construction of new toilets in the Reception classroom.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
