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

• “On the 9 July 2024 Ofsted inspected our school. The outcome of the inspection was Good overall with individual sections graded as: Quality of Education: Good, Behaviour and Attitudes: Outstanding, Personal Development: Outstanding, Leadership and Management: Good, Early Years Provision: Good.”
• “The school was forced to apply for emergency funding through the UCS in order to facilitate the replacement of the boilers in the year to 31 August 2021. A loan of £96,285 was agreed and received during the year to 31 August 2022, with the school making up the shortfall of the costs from its reserves.”

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
