“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
- “Since the appointment of the new headteacher in September 2024, Dorrington Academy has made significant strides in improving both governance and educational outcomes, demonstrating clear progress against the priorities set out in our development plan and responding robustly to the challenges highlighted in the Academy's Financial Notice to Improve.”
- “The trust commissioned an external review of governance which was conducted by the National Governance Association (NGA). Following this, significant and positive changes have been implemented by trustees to strengthen oversight and strategic leadership at Dorrington Academy.”
- “The school has maintained a high-quality, ambitious curriculum that is carefully planned and sequenced to build cumulatively sufficient knowledge and skills for future learning and employment.”

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
