THE BOLTON MULTI ACADEMY TRUST

• ⚠

  Material uncertainty over going concern

  Following approval from the Secretary of State for Education, on 1 September 2025 the school within The Bolton Multi Academy Trust formally joined The Bolton Impact Trust, a Multi Academy Trust incorporated in England and Wales. On the same day, the activities, assets and liabilities of The Bolton Multi Academy Trust were transferred to The Bolton Impact Trust and this academy trust became dormant. These financial statements have therefore been prepared on a basis other than going concern. No adjustments to the carrying value of the assets and liabilities, prior to the transfer, were required as a result of this basis of preparation.

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
