- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Trustees are confident that with long term budget planning, contingencies and risk assessments in place they believe that the Academy Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This is subject to the risk factors of pupil place applications, funding formulas and staffing levels remaining consistent for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the Academy continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements and budget planning.”
Significant events
- “Reduction in pupil numbers continued to be a principal risk during 2024/25, to alleviate this risk the Trustees took the decision to reduce the Planned Admissions Number from September 2026 onwards from 87 to 60.”
- “The condition of the school buildings and grounds has continued to be a risk in 2024-25. While 2 CIF's were submitted during the financial year both of these were unsuccessful, the trustees took the decisions to find one of these projects out of reserves. Another CIF bid will be submitted in the 2025-26 financial year for the other project; working is already ongoing to collate evidence to support CIF bid.”

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
