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 income from Rugby School is stable and for this reason it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “2024-25 has been another impressive year for external exam success. This was the first cohort of the larger intake as a result of the grammar school expansion project between 2020-2024 and even with this larger cohort the school has maintained the previous high standards set.”
• “The school has been building up the school reserves and has completed a full condition report in August 2025. Whilst the school approach is to maintain reserves in the region of £250,000 to allow for emergencies and unplanned expenditure, a proportion of the reserves built up over the last two years will be spent on some of these projects throughout the academic year 2025-26. The school had planned for the first of these to be completed in the summer but they were delayed until September 2025 so the school has therefore ended the year with greater revenue than had been planned.”
• “Lawrence Sheriff School Academy Trust plans to complete the legal work required to become a MAT during the academic year 2025-26. The current plan is that the MAT will be formed on 1 September 2026 and The Griffin Primary School Academy Trust will join the MAT.”

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
