Going concern

Affirmed

“After careful consideration, the Trustees Board is confident 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

• “Following the discovery of RAAC in the admin block of The Links Academy, Hixberry Lane, St Albans; this building was closed on the advice of the DfE in September 2023. The discovery of RAAC has resulted in a great deal of damage to the internal fixtures and fittings of the admin building during the invasive investigative works that were required by the DfE, to produce a comprehensive survey originally for remediation works but subsequently for a roof replacement. Interim building works were carried out to re-house the staff and the majority of the costs for these alterations were covered by the DfE. The refurbishment works for the admin block was completed in April 2025 and was officially opened by Daisy Cooper MP on 24 April 2025. Following ongoing negotiations with the DfE all funds were reimbursed by July 2025. The building is back in use and fully functional.”

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
