- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Based on the budget and cash flow, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust and the schools currently within it have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The John Henry Newman Academy in Littlemore was shortlisted for the TES Community Engagement School of the Year and staff enjoyed the chance to attend the awards dinner in London back in May.”
- “ODST was successful in bidding for capital funding from the DfE to expand nursery provision on one of our Oxford city sites and has also received DfE consent to open a new SEND unit in another.”
- “ODST also tendered for a new Trust-wide management information system during the accounting period which was successfully implemented across all 43 schools in the trust in a phased process during the year.”

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
