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. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “In August 2023, the Trust secured a three-year contract (with an option for a two-year extension) with Medway Local Authority to deliver outreach support and training to schools, provisions, and professionals within the region.”
• “In January 2024, it was discovered that the Department for Education (DfE) had not correctly recorded this agreed change when the expansion was initially approved.”
• “In December 2023, Fortis Trust successfully applied for a bid to open a new specialist free school in Kent, in partnership with Kent County Council and the DfE.”
• “Fortis Trust is actively progressing with the transfer of two academies from a Trust based in Essex, following DfE's decision to close the Trust.”
• “In July 2025, Fortis engaged with the Trust in Essex and their local council to explore the possibility of opening a joint sixth form provision and SPI provision with the LA's SEND commissioning team.”
• “Fortis has been undertaking due diligence with a local Infant School based in Rochester, after many years of working in partnership with the school.”
• “On 6 November 2025, the Trust was formally notified by the Department for Education (DfE) that construction for the School Rebuilding Programme had been agreed. The project will deliver a full rebuild of the Trust's Bradfield's Academy site.”

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
