Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Academy has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Beacon Hill was inspected by Ofsted in February 2025. The changes to the Ofsted framework meant that this was an ungraded inspection but the school was judged to have "taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection."”
• “Pupil numbers rose over the year and there was a significant increase in nursery placement requests which would create a larger cohort for Reception class the following year. Numbers rose to 80 within the year (5 above agreed capacity).”
• “The Trustees have identified the potential significant risks and uncertainties around how the Greater Essex Devolution could affect special school top up funding. The majority of remaining reserves will remain unallocated this year to potentially mitigate against a reduction in top up funding and allow the Academy time to plan and adjust to any significant changes in income once the re-organisation plans become clearer.”
• “The Trustees recognise there are a number of significant staff leadership and business critical roles that will need succession planning over the next 5 years and some reserves are likely to be needed to facilitate a smooth transition plan with roles needing a period of double funding.”

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
