ST THOMAS MORE CATHOLIC PRIMARY, A VOLUNTARY ACADEMY

• ⚠

  Material uncertainty over going concern

  We draw attention to the going concern disclosures in the accounting policies on page 28 of the financial statements and in the trustees' report on page 8, which state that there is an intention for the Academy to be transferred into a Multi Academy Trust in the near future. However, transfer and novation of the funding agreement has not been approved. The intention to transfer indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the academy's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

• ◆

  3 officer resignations in last 12 months

  Multiple officers have left the board recently — see the People section for who.

• ◆

  1 PSC ceased in last 24 months

  Significant control changed hands — see the Ownership section.

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
