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. For this reason it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “In this academic year UTC Portsmouth saw 38.6% securing apprenticeships (down from 49.1% in 2024). Of the remaining students, all went to university. UTC Portsmouth continues its run of no NEET (Not in "Education, Employment or Training") students.”
• “The college continues to operate at a financial surplus. This puts the college in a secure position to continue investment in facilities over the next few years.”
• “If the Secretary of State decides to continue with the project, Trustees intend that UTC Southampton should open in September 2028. One of the conditions of the approval is that UTC Portsmouth should become a Multi Academy Trust and plans to achieve that are in hand.”

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
