BALMORAL LEARNING TRUST

• ⚠

  Material uncertainty over going concern

  The trust is in discussions with a view to joining another academy trust on 1 September 2026, at which point that assets, liabilities and all activities will be transferred. As this transfer will be within one year of the approval of these financial statements, the board of trustees are of the opinion that academy trust is not a going concern, and so these financial statements have not been prepared on a going concern basis.

  3 officer resignations in last 12 months

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
