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

• “In March 2025, Armthorpe Shaw Wood Academy received a Section 8 Ofsted inspection. Inspectors found that the school had taken effective action to maintain standards since the last inspection. Safeguarding was judged effective, behaviour remained positive, and the curriculum was well sequenced and inclusive. Inspectors noted that pupils feel safe, reading is a strength, and SEND support is strong. Areas for development included improving assessment in foundation subjects and refining behaviour strategies. The full report is published on the Ofsted website.”
• “The Deputy Headteacher (long-serving) left at Easter 2025. Interim arrangements were implemented successfully. Staffing structures are under review to support distributed leadership and succession planning.”
• “Significant capital projects progressed during the year, including playground redevelopment, site drainage works, and a school expansion project. These were supported by local authority contributions and SBM-led fundraising.”
• “The school has continued to address challenges in attendance, mobility, and increasing complexity in pupil needs.”

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
