- Unqualified (clean)
- 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, the board of trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “During the year ended 31st August 2025 stakeholders were canvassed as to what they believed the Trust should represent as it entered a new decade and what the important values and principles should be. The result of this was a restatement of the trust mission for community members - Be the best - you can!”
- “During 2024/25 the trust has measured success in terms of external success in terms of increasing pupil intake into our Foundation stage, increased sporting success as well as improved Key Stage results which are generally above the National Average.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
