The Governors assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to the events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the academy trust to continue as a going concern. The trust has reserves of £4,000 as at 31 August 2025 which is lower than the reserves policy.

Significant events
- “School received a full Section 5 inspection by Ofsted on the 6th December 2023. The outcome of this was The McAuley Catholic High School being given an overall effectiveness judgement of Good.”
- “The Governors are also currently considering joining a multi academy trust during 2026. This creates an uncertainty about the academy trust's ability to continue as a going concern.”

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
