“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Additional events have been added to the calendar this year and include a whole trust residential visit to Chamonix in France available to year 6 pupils. 7 schools took part- 5 for the first time. The Sports provision has increased the number of events to 42 across the year with extra provision for KS1 events and participation for trust school was 30% higher.”

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
