Material uncertainty over going concern
On 1 September 2025, Coast and Vale Learning Trust joined Delta Academies Trust. As a result, the assets and liabilities at that date were transferred into the new trust. As such, the trust is expected to be dissolved in the next 12 months and these financial statements are prepared on a basis other than going concern.

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
