Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of governors 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
- “During October 2024, one of the main water tanks failed, resulting in closure of the School for two days, one of which was a school development day. The tank was aged, in line with the majority of the heating system. Parts of the school were flooded and also left without heating for over one week. The cost to the School was approximately £10,000, with insurers covering some of the costs associated with the flood.”

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
