Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of governors has a reasonable expectation that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the board of governors continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “The trust has begun talks with the Local Authority to establish a new Enhanced Learning Provision (ELP) within the school and it is hoped that this will be completed in the next financial year and generate additional income.”
• “The trust will reach the end of a two-year fixed term contract with its energy suppliers in September 2025 and has arranged a continuation for a further two years after seeking competitive quotes with other suppliers.”
• “The trust has closed its higher rate interest 32 days' notice account with Lloyds Bank. The balance was transferred to the school's main bank account during 24/25.”
• “The school also continues to look for opportunities to increase the number and frequency of lettings and hosted a holiday club provision in December 2024, March 2025 and during July and August 2025, for which rental income was received.”
• “Talks were had with other organisations looking rent spaces within the school and its grounds and these are expected to commence in the new academic/financial year.”
• “The school actively seeks and pursues external funding & grant opportunities and secured a £10,000.00 grant from the Royal Horticultural Society in April 2025.”

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
