“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the academy has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Northwick Park will reduce its PAN (Published Admission Number) from 90 to 60 from September 2026 for reception age pupils. This will not affect any pupils currently in the school.”
- “The school funded refurbishment of the nursery toilets and kitchen has been completed. The school is now equipped to admit two-year-olds. The age range of the school has been changed from 3-7 to 2-7 years.”
- “In April, Ofsted inspected William Read. This was an ungraded inspection. The school maintained its grading of Good from the previous inspection that took place before the school joined the Northwick Park Trust.”

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
