Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Auditor
- Crowe U.K. LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees… have concluded that the Academy Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Academy Trust's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 1 February 2024 the entire operations of Derby Diocesan Academy Trust 2 (DDAT2), and its assets and liabilities have been transferred to Derby Diocesan Academy Trust (DDAT). This has created a single Trust structure and provides consistency and greater effectiveness by combining the two related organisations into a single legal entity.”

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
