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, the board of trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The trust operates a primary academy for pupils aged 3-11 serving a catchment area in Meir, Stoke on Trent. It has a pupil capacity of 480 and had a roll of 509 on the school census in May 2025.”
• “A continuing strategy utilised by the trust to ensure that the academy's objectives are met is the employment of additional qualified teaching staff to reduce class sizes.”
• “The Academy also employs specialist teachers in the areas of P.E. and Music to further strengthen the curriculum offer and promote pupils' holistic development. The academy has also expanded the welfare team to further support the pupils' whole development.”

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
