- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the multi 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 2024-2025, Leigh Trust strengthened its inclusive approach, particularly for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The opening of a new resource base increased capacity to support pupils with higher levels of need, ensuring access to high-quality, tailored provision across the Trust.”

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
