“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, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.”
Significant events
- “Fundraising activities in 2024-25 included raising money through our book fairs with which we purchased new books for classrooms and our library. A Christmas Bazaar, a Summer Inflatable day, and termly discos raised money for the school, and commission was received for the sale of school photographs. The academy is also involved in fundraising for established professional charities, chosen and led each year by the school council.”
- “The academy has put in a provisional CIF bid for 2026-27 Replacement of the Demountables. The proposed removal of the two dilapidated demountable classrooms at Woodside Academy and their replacement with a new two-storey building that will contain four classrooms, giving space for a dedicated Special Educational Needs (SEN) nurture room, and an additional nursery class.”

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
