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

• “During 24/25 we had one OFSTED inspection at St Michaels with an outcome of outstanding across all areas meaning that in the Trust there are now 6 schools graded at least good with outstanding areas, and 2 outstanding in all areas. There were 3 SIAMS inspections resulting in a J1 outcome from the new inspection framework.”
• “Millbrook Park spent on changing the light bulbs in their flood lights to LED. This has reduced the energy usage of the flood lights by nearly 50% during the year.”
• “St Ann's replaced the old wetpour in the playground with fake grass for health & safety reasons.”
• “St Michaels created a sensory room to support the needs of pupils with SEN.”
• “St Pauls & All Hallows Infant had some playground improvement works done as previous play equipment was unsafe.”
• “St Pauls & All Hallows Junior had some electrical works done as well as replacement of a water heater that failed and had a new oven installed in the kitchen.”
• “St Andrew & St Francis had sinks installed in classrooms, asbestos removed, sound proofing of the main school hall, health & safety works done for the school car park gates, and new safety wetpour for the playground.”

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
