Audit opinion

Unqualified (clean)

Going concern

Affirmed

“The Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Academy Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees have reviewed on a regular basis as part of its committee risk register working possible future short-term financial risks related to the national environment of rising costs, such as energy, general inflation, pay awards for staff and falling rolls. Whilst acknowledging these potential risks Trustees remain confident that rising costs can be successfully managed by the Trust and therefore the judgement of a secure going concern remains valid.”

Significant events

• “Three primary schools within the Trust received an OFSTED inspection within the year - all received 'good' judgements for every area. As a result, all schools in the Trust now hold a 'Good' rating, with one school demonstrating elements of 'Outstanding'.”
• “The Centralised Trust School Improvement Team maintained a strong focus on the two Duchy schools previously judged as 'Requires Improvement'. Both schools were inspected during 2024-25 and achieved 'Good' ratings in all areas.”
• “Staffing remained stable throughout 2024-2025, with good levels of retention across key roles. The Trust successfully employed a teacher who completed the SCITT programme internally, promoted a senior leader to Head Teacher, and facilitated staff movement between schools as part of their professional development. Following the retirement of the founding CEO, the Deputy Executive Officer (DEO) was appointed as CEO through a rigorous recruitment process.”
• “The Trust successfully delivered a range of significant premises projects funded through the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF), including electrical system upgrades-covering lighting and emergency lighting-at Lewannick, Boyton, and St Catherine's to enhance sustainability and meet health and safety standards.”
• “Launceston Pre School has been granted approval by the Department for Education (DFE) to move to Windmill Hill Academy, thanks to an extension of the academy's age range. This relocation is feasible because of lower Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) enrolment, which provides enough space for the pre-school. The sale of the existing pre-school building will also help strengthen the school's financial reserves.”

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
