Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-08-31 | 2024-08-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | 5.9% | 4.5% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 2.3% | 3.0% | |
| Current ratio | 6.36x | 5.08x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Ellacotts Audit Services Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees, including all Committees, has a reasonable expectation that the Academy Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On 22nd November 2023, the Headteacher Advisory Board agreed for The Stour Federation to be the academy sponsor of Wilmcote C of E Primary School. The DfE preferred 1st April 2024 to be the target date for academisation but this was delayed until 1st September 2024 due to ongoing financial concerns.”
- “The Specialist Resourced Provision (SRP) at Shipston Primary for September 2024 onwards is called The Dovecote and will focus on children with communication and interaction education, health and care plans (EHCPs). The CEO completed the Significant Change document and returned it to the DfE.”

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
