Audit opinion

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

• “As at 31 August 2025, 8 schools were in deficit. 2 of these schools have set budgets in 2025-26 which will bring them into a surplus position. Plans are being developed for the remaining 6 schools which will seek to repay their deficit over a 5-year period.”
• “The trust holds surplus cash reserves in a bank deposit account; interest earned during the year totalled £59,565 (2024: £66,030).”
• “Pupil numbers have increased steadily over the last few years but have now slightly declined.”

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
