Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The trustees have considered potential material uncertainties such as new schools joining the trust, however they are confident in the robust budget setting procedures the academy trust currently has in place. For this reason, the trust continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Key Risks Identified during 2024-25:- Financial - The Trust relies on continued Government funding through the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). Like most schools, the majority of the Trust's financial resources come from Government funding. While this level of funding is expected to persist, there is no guarantee that Government policy or funding levels will remain unchanged, nor that funding will continue on the same terms. The Trust is concerned about the ongoing impact of unfunded staff pay awards, the lack of funding for pupils with identified SEND needs, and the general future levels of education funding.”

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
