- Clive Owen LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board of Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to the events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the academy trust to continue as a going concern... The trust current reserves are in deficit. The Trust has agreed a deficit recovery plan with the DfE... For that reason the financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.”
Significant events
- “Ofsted inspected the UTC in March 2024 and judged the UTC's provision to be Good across all categories.”
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
