Ratios
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-08-31 | 2024-08-31 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 6.1% | 4.4% | |
| Current ratio | 2.43x | 2.55x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“Whilst there are concerns about the future of education funding in general, the Trustees have confidence in the Trust as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of these financial statements and have concluded the Academy Trust has adequate resources to be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Academy Trust's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual report and financial statements.”

Significant events
- “Internal and external reviews of different aspects of the curriculum across our schools consistently demonstrate much strong practice.”
- “The Board commissioned an External Review of Governance that took place in the autumn of 2023, the subsequent report highlighted much good practice and identified areas for development that have informed actions included later within this plan.”
- “Tickford Park Primary School has an Academy Order in place and a target date of 1 December 2024 to convert to an academy and join the trust.”

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
