Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Bishop Fleming Bath Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the School to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the School has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the School's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “This year saw the increase in PAN from 220 to 240 and we have now acquired the additional rooms that used to house the nursery provision.”
- “In September 2023, the board adopted the new Articles of Association to ensure the Trust operates within the most current articles.”
- “A new funding agreement was issued by the DFE to reflect the new articles.”
- “In March 2024, we received the great news that we had been successful with our Free School bid.”
- “The trust initiates and completes the MAT formation process within 12-months of approval to avoid the trust developing its MAT model at the same time as the peak of the pre-opening work for the free school.”

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
