“After making appropriate enquiries, the Governing Board 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
- “Trustees engaged with Essex County Council and agreed to expand the number to admit into year 7 from 270 students to 300 from September 2018. This expansion is as a result of additional housing stock being built in the locality. Following a slight dip in applications during the COVID pandemic, by September 2024 the school is operating at or near capacity in each of year groups 7-11.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers

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
