Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, 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, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “During the year the Trust invested over £100,000 in new computers at The Marvell College. Partnering with an educational provider it was able to secure discount of £15,000 by exchanging obsolete devices as part of the deal.”
• “During the reporting period Dorchester Primary School has commenced a £1m scheme to decarbonise its heating system by replacing gas combustion boilers with low carbon air source heat pumps. The installation will be completed in the next reporting period and is following a successful bid for support from the Salix Fund.”
• “During the academic year 2023-2024, Hull Collaborative Academy Trust (HCAT) had eight schools inspected by Ofsted, comprising four graded inspections and four ungraded inspections. Collingwood and Gilberdyke achieved significant improvements, moving from a previous judgement of Requires Improvement to being judged as Outstanding. Withernsea and Little Treasures Nursery maintained their status as Good schools.”

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
