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

• “Work has been underway throughout 24/25 and beyond to meet and/or embed the above strategies. The new Behaviour and Relationship policy is now embedded into our culture and continual improvements are being made. We have changed our facilities to create "The Maine Centre" this enables us to be even more inclusive through offering alternative provision on site for some our students.”
• “In 2024-25, student applications for places at the school continued to be strong, however we have seen a decline in 6th form numbers and are expecting a longer-term decline in pupil numbers as birth rates fall.”
• “During 24/25 further LED lighting upgrades have been installed and final phases of the replacements scheduled for 25/26. We a pleased to have seen savings in Electricity this year due to the solar panels. A Sensory room has been created and the Main Centre launched, both providing extra support /provisions for some of our students.”
• “The deficit on the pension reserve relates to the non-teaching staff pension scheme where, unlike the teacher's scheme, separate assets are held to fund future liabilities as discussed in note 25. The deficit has decreased by £1,377,000 during the 2024/25 financial year, this is as a result of changes to financial assumptions.”

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
