“Following appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees is confident that the Academy Trust has sufficient resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “The Academy Trust operates 15 primary, 3 secondary and 1 special academies for pupils aged 2 to 18 in Devon. It has a pupil capacity of 6,362 and had a roll of 4,428 in the school census on October 2025.”
- “During the year ended 31 August 2025, the Academy Trust received total income of £40,969,479 and incurred total expenditure of £40,838,491. The excess of income over expenditure for the year was £130,988.”
- “At 31 August 2025 the net book value of fixed assets was £65,747,667 and movements in tangible fixed assets are shown in note 14 of the financial statements.”
- “As funding is directly linked to pupil numbers, enrolment remains a key performance indicator for the Trust. In 2024, the Academy Trust recorded 4,549 pupils. By the October 2025 census, this figure had declined to 4,428, reflecting a downward trend in overall pupil numbers.”
- “As part of the Trust's ongoing estate management and asset review process, a condition survey and regular inspections were undertaken at Tavistock College. These identified significant structural and environmental deterioration in the science and art teaching block, which has impacted the building's suitability for continued educational use without substantial investment. In line with the Trust's accounting policies and the requirements of the Charities SORP (FRS 102), an impairment review was conducted.”

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
