Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis

- Auditor
- Azets Audit Services
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Following the previous financial year's budgetary concerns, the board of trustees has, through regular management accounts and new budget forecast, 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 school's previous Ofsted Inspection was in October 2022- this was the first inspection under the revised framework. It was graded good with outstanding Personal Development.”
- “The Trust's actual outturn for 2024/2025 was a surplus of £91,992 after depreciation and LGPS movements.”
- “There was however the implementation of a new Well-Being garden space provided free of charge in partnership with Re:Gen and Believe Housing.”
- “A deliberate strategy to appoint ECTs for the teacher vacancies as they were a cheaper alternative – two ECT 2s replaced two expensive teachers (UPR3 and M6) who left the school in August 2025.”
- “Overtime payments to teachers were stopped due to one staff member accounting for a budgeted annual £10k overtime.”
- “The new Headteacher took up role in September 2024 internally following due process to save on staffing costs. The SLT structure was changed to include only one Deputy Head who has increased responsibilities to ensure value for money – from September 2025 to save on Management costs.”

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
