Material uncertainty over going concern
We draw attention to note 1.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Trustees have decided to transfer Bexhill High Academy into another academy trust and are minded, once that transfer is complete, to close the Trust. The intention is not to continue to operate, but it will remain in operational existence until the transfer is made. As stated in note 1.2, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 1.2, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on 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
