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”

Significant events

• “In November 2024 Maun Infant and Nursery School joined the Trust. This brought the total of Trust schools to eight.”
• “Energy consumption for both gas and electric reduced in 2024-25 which includes the addition of Maun Infants and Nursery in November 2024.”
• “The transfer from local authority on conversion represents the net assets of Maun Infant and Nursery School, which converted to academy status and joined The Forge Trust on 01 November 2024.”
• “Schools continue to invest in solar panels and LED lighting to improve energy efficiency, and one school replaced the remaining gas boilers with energy efficient air source heat pumps during the year.”

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
