- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Governing Body 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
- “In October 2023 we opened a nursery off site at the nearby Children's Centre catering for 2-4yr olds. Uptake was slow and was impacting negatively on the school budget so after a staff restructuring exercise and changing to pre-school (3-4yrs), to be known as 'Little Folders' it is on track to make a profit in 25-26 as well as recouping some of the previous year's losses.”
- “Premises improvements were completed in the year as follows: Premises redecoration”

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
