Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the 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. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Academy Trust's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “The Academy Trust operates 13 schools for pupils aged 4-11 serving a catchment area in Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes.”
• “The Trust also works in partnership with Weston Favell Church of England Primary School which has an additional 420 children and 30 pre-school children.”
• “During 2023/24 NPAT received external funding, £400K, to install LED lighting across our non-PFI schools and to install solar panels on one school site. The Trust hopes to see the benefits of energy reduction as a consequence in 2024/25.”

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
