- 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
- “The Trust is in its thirteenth year of operation having converted to become an Academy on the 1 September 2012. The school is oversubscribed with waiting lists for admission. The total number of students in the period ended 31 August 2025 was 1061.”
- “GCSE results for 2020 and 2021 were suspended owing to Covid-19, with Centre Assessed Grades used to determine student outcomes. No Performance Measures were calculated. In 2022 and 2023, results were restarted with a move towards realigning national outcomes with levels in 2019. 2024 saw the completion of that realignment, which accounts for a lowering in Attainment score. 2025 saw a strong performance by the school, bucking the national trends.”
- “The attendance figures for the academic year ended 31 August 2025 were 93.0% (1.9% better than national average). The figures for persistent absenteeism were 17.1% (8.5% better than national average).”
- “The figure for 'pupils staying in education or employment for at least two terms after key stage 4' for the academic year ended 31 August 2024 was 95% - which is once again (4%) above the national average.”
- “Ofsted Inspection took place February 2025, school remains 'Good'.”

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
