“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, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the accounting period, the Trust has successfully integrated Newsome Junior Academy and Berry Brow Infant and Nursery Academy who both joined close to the end of the last academic year.”
- “The Department for Education has also approved the conversion of another Kirklees maintained primary to join the Trust with conversion likely to be in early 2026, taking the number of Academies to 11.”
- “The Trust has also started a significant growth project that we see it grow by a further 7 Academies in 2026 through successful integration of another Trust based in West Yorkshire.”

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
