“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
- “Capital Improvement Funding of £297,158 was received in the year from DfE to replace the boilers and heating system in the main and KTS3 buildings. This project was successfully completed under budget during the year and in time for the new school year.”
- “Investment of around £110,000 was also made during the year from the Academy's reserves in our hydrotherapy pool. This work was partially completed at the year with work continuing into 2025/2026.”
- “A significant amount of reserves held have been earmarked to be used within the 2025/26 academic year with the completion of the pool with other planned spending which will significantly reduce the value of reserves held to the levels as required in the policy.”
- “The Academy continues to work with the Assistant Director of Department for Education and their representative for capital developments for education to look at options for providing an appropriate space for physical education on the main site.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
