Going concern

Affirmed

“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 ongoing pressure of SEND school places in the Borough is a major concern for the school. The school received a net capacity assessment from the DfE following a survey of the school earlier in the year. This report supports the board's concern by showing that the net capacity for our school buildings should ideally be around 220. This is much lower than our current pupil placement numbers, which are expected to be around 290 in the 2025-26 academic year, an over capacity of around 31%.”
• “Parts of the school site are approaching 100 years old and buildings of this age require careful maintenance to ensure they remain fit for educational purposes in the 21st century. The school takes its responsibilities in this respect very seriously, with a comprehensive rolling programme of maintenance in place to ensure the trust complies with relevant legislation.”

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
