Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of trustees have a reasonable expectation that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the going concern basis is adopted in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The school has had a rising roll for the past 14 years and is above the 600 Planned Admission Number (PAN). The school has added two additional classrooms and a mobile changing facility which goes some way to meeting need, however the field is still undeveloped, there is insufficient space for students to eat and the sports hall is no longer fit for purpose.”
• “The Academy has purchased neighbouring land to ensure future building work is possible and to create a full size playing field. The change of use has been submitted but progress has been slow due to flood regulations and a backlog at Herefordshire Council. We are awaiting final confirmation of planning approval and hope to start the groundwork in the next 6 months.”

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
