Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Bishop Fleming Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Academy Trust to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and 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
- “Pyrland School were inspected by Ofsted in January 2024, the school was found to be inadequate across all four inspection framework measures. Trustees agreed to a voluntary transfer of the school to another Trust at their meeting of 24 February 2025. At the DfE South-West Advisory Board meeting of 21 July 2025 the decision was made to approve the transfer of Pyrland School to Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership (MNSP). A due diligence exercise is being completed between the two parties. We expect Pyrland School to transfer to MNSP on 1 February 2026.”

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
