“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. The Board of Trustees continue to monitor the Medium Term Financial Plan which is based on a robust set of assumptions and regularly updated to take account of changes. The financial modelling and sensitivity analysis shows that the Trust has sufficient reserves to manage economic shocks. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events

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
