- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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.”
Significant events
- “The school received a letter of 'Praise and thanks for avoiding the need for Permanent Exclusions', from Lincolnshire County Council's Inclusion Service, in October 2024.”
- “The Summer School for new Y7 students was very successful, again. This was funded by BGS after the feedback of students and parents from the previous year. It was very popular and made a significant positive difference in how students transitioned to the school from Y6.”
- “The school undertook a curriculum review in 2023/24 and initiated numerous changes in 2024/25.”
- “During the academic year 2024/25 BGS was a very active member of the L.E.A.D Teaching School Hub which enabled middle and senior leaders to embrace greater opportunities”

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
