For this reason, the board of trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The academy trust operates a non-selective academy... It has completed its transition to an all through Primary school, which has extended the age range from 4-9 to 4-11 and expanded to a pupil capacity of 210.”
- “The academy trust has opted into the Department for Education's risk protection arrangement (RPA), an alternative to insurance where UK government funds cover losses that arise.”
- “Raynsford Church of England Academy was inspected by Ofsted in November 2024 and confirmed to have taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection.”
- “The academy also received a Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) in June 2025, which judged that Raynsford Church of England Academy is living up to its foundation as a Church school.”
- “A CIF bid project for the new roof overlay was completed and signed off in 2024/25.”
- “A recovery plan put in place from 1 September 2024 returned the academy to an in-year surplus in year ended 31 August 2025.”
- “The Academy has, regrettably, been unable to renew the fixed-term contract of one Teaching Assistant and two Midday Supervisors (MDS) due to ongoing uncertainty around SEND funding.”
- “George Hay Partnership LLP resigned as auditors during the year and Azets Audit Services were appointed.”
- “A new school lunch provider was appointed from February 2025 following a transparent tendering process.”

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
