“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, the Board of Trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.”
Significant events
- “The final decision was made to regrettably, and with considerable sadness, propose to the Secretary of State, the closure of Kirkby Fleetham Church of England Primary School, one of the Trust's micro schools, with only 15 pupils on roll. The Secretary of State ultimately gave their decision to close the school on 31st August 2025.”

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
