Audit & accounting basis
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Consolidated group
- Auditor
- Bishop Fleming Audit Limited
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the 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
- “PACT launched its first LGBT event for educators in the west midlands as well as running its second Racial Equity Networking Dinner (REND) in Birmingham.”
- “The Trust has again advanced its inclusive approach to all pupils particularly those with Special Educational Needs (SEN). This year the Trust celebrated the opening of 4 more resource bases in its schools, taking the total number of resource bases to 7.”
- “Sutton Park Primary School has been selected in the School Rebuilding Project. Work is expected to be completed in 2029. This has resulted in an impairment of the carrying amount and a reduction in remaining useful economic life of the current school building.”
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
