- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Academy Trust has the resources to adequately operate for the foreseeable future and maintain solvency. Cash flow forecasting to August 2026 currently suggests that our minimum cash balance over the period would be c.£4m. As such the Trust is well placed to manage significant deviations to our income and expenditure. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing financial statements.”

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
