- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the academy trust's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements.”
Significant events
- “The potential for an IT failure specifically due to cyberattacks is an important risk for the Trust with such attacks, becoming more common generally. To mitigate the risk in this regard, there are frequent software upgrades, IT investment is based on long term financial budget planning, firewalls and antivirus system in place and the Trust's IT manager has robust and tested controls in place.”
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
