“After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustee Board 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

• “OFSTED Good in November 2024.”
• “English attainment dropped, however the crossover of 5+ in English and Maths was the highest in the academy's history.”
• “Maths attainment at 4+ was above the national average and Maths 5+ was the highest in the academy history.”
• “Student outcomes at KS5 remained very strong.”
• “Student numbers are the highest in the Academy's history.”
• “Challenges faced this year included but were not limited to higher than expected Teacher and Support staff pay awards, an increase in employers NI from 13.8% to 15%, a reduction in NI thresholds meaning that as an employer the Academy was paying NI on lower salaries at a higher rate, service providers passing on NI increases to the Academy and continuing recruitment challenges.”
• “During the year the Trustees decided the sixth form project was not viable and haven agreed to transfer the funds to a new designated fund - the Estate Development Fund.”

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
