“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Governors, including all Committees, has a reasonable expectation that the Academy 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
- “The total number of pupils on roll at 31 August 2025 was 851 and the number of students on roll at the October 2025 census date was 881, due to additional students joining the Sixth Form.”
- “Notable achievements this year were another strong set of GCSE results and an OFSTED rating of 'Good' across all assessment areas.”

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
