- 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
- “Fairfield High School for Girls joined the Trust on the 1st September 2024 taking the number of academies to four.”
- “The college offered predominantly level three qualifications, with a very small number of students (19) taking a full level 2 course which is no longer offered from September 2025.”
- “Risk management was further refined across the Trust and financial management improved with the introduction of fully electronic systems for budgeting and monthly monitoring.”
- “At Ashton Sixth Form College the only project remaining from the existing property strategy is in respect of the Sports Hall. This work has started and expected completion date is October 2025. The design and build is for a significant redevelopment, incorporating additional classrooms and gym on a mezzanine level. The estimated cost is of the order of £3.5m.”
- “To address the immediate space needs of the expanding student population, four temporary modular classrooms have been installed, and are being rented for a period of three years.”
- “Fairfield High School transferred from a third-party lettings company on 1st July to ourselves and this has seen a significant performance turnaround with both usage levels now at 7 days a week featuring over 40 hours community use and a significant increase in revenue that in Summer 2026 an agreed amount will be re-invested into improving their facilities at no cost to the school.”
- “Our significant re-investment and project for 25/26 is the high priority refurbishment of the existing 2G Astro Turf at Astley Sports Village/Rayner Stephens High School. Football Foundation have agreed to commence this funding bid, which with match funding from Stamford Park Trust/ASV reserves will welcome a £450k - £500k Football Foundation funding award to refurbish the 2G astro turf into a state-of-the-art 3G astro turf within the next 12-month period.”

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
