Going concern

Affirmed

“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, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Mercer's Wood Academy - second CIF bid submitted to replace aging roof.”
• “Over the last 3 years the Trust has been successful in gaining 8 CIF bids. This has vastly improved the estates: Mercer's Wood - fire safety replacing all doors within both buildings and a new fire-alarm system. The water distribution pipework has been changed. The heating distribution and the plant system have been replaced with a new boiler and new radiators throughout. White's Wood Fencing was put in between the school and Charles Baines border to ensure the safety and safeguarding of all pupils. The boiler and all radiators (heating distribution) was fully replaced. The fire safety systems and door were also replaced throughout the building. Additional capital funding was received from the DFE and this has been spent on LWD lighting upgrades at Mercer's Wood and White's Wood as well as installation of reflective film on windows to ensure heating efficiency. The Trust has also paid for electric charging points at all sites (links to salary sacrifice car purchasing scheme).”

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
