- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Academy continued to review its financial position in detail with the DfE. Financial projections for the next three academic years have been reviewed with the DfE now satisfied that we no longer need monitoring whilst student numbers continue to increase. Investments made in the current and previous academic year have resulted in positive outcomes for students, especially in relation to destinations for those completing their studies and the positive OFSTED outcome of March 2025. After making these appropriate enquiries, the accounting officer and board of governors have a reasonable expectation that the academy trust has adequate resources with assistance from the DfE to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going coDncern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In November 2024, the Academy launched its Saturday School, offering young people in Years 8 and 9 the opportunity to explore media and entertainment through hands-on workshops in broadcasting, digital production, and content creation.”
- “In March 2025, Ofsted carried out a full graded inspection of Global Academy under the updated framework. The inspection confirmed the Academy's sustained improvement, judging the quality of education, Good, leadership and management, Good, and awarding Outstanding judgements for behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and sixth-form provision.”
- “Pupil numbers have increased in 2024/25 compared to the previous year and continues to see an increase within the sixth form in 2024/2025.”

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
