“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. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Academy Trust had a combined roll of 2,106 in the annual census in October 2025. Due to the national falling role in numbers of pupils, the Academy Trust has been consulting in the reduction of capacity at one of our schools and have placed temporary caps at a number of our other schools.”
- “The Trust was successful in obtaining funding from the DfE's Crime Resilience Team to improve security across all schools which has meant new CCTV systems, external lighting improvements, fence, and gate improvements costing circa £100k.”
- “Our schools received £10,000 per school for surface flooding in their grounds and in addition received new planters for playgrounds to sustainably collect rainwater.”
- “Significant investment that has gone into our estates and buildings to improve the facilities for our staff, children, and community, including roof replacement projects, boiler replacement projects, lighting improvements, fire and electrical safety and legionella safety projects, totaling nearly £6m investment to date.”

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
