Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the academy trust's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “Sharnbrook Primary have submitted a CIF bid application of which we would need to contribute £24,000 from our reserves to fund this if we are successful.”
• “The bid is for remedial works to ensure the upkeep of the school is maintained and that safeguarding and compliance is met.”
• “If the bid is unsuccessful then we will use the £24,000 to update the automatic gates as they are urgently requiring upgrading.”
• “Our reserves will also be used to convert the ICT suite to create a sensory area for the children to use and also for general upkeep of the school. Reserves are also to fund future deficits.”
• “With the expansion of the village we are in discussions about what education will look like for the new children.”
• “The school had an OFSTED review in Spring 2024 and is now graded as good (from requires improvement) with two areas being classed as outstanding.”

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
