“After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Academy 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 Maths School opened on 1 September 2022 and moved into a purpose-built new building on London Road in Preston in January 2023.”
- “At the end of April, Ofsted made their first full inspection of the school. The inspectors were highly complimentary of the school and graded us as Outstanding overall as well as across all sub-categories, with no areas for improvement noted.”
- “The Maths School has seen growth year on year. From our first cohort who started at 39 students in 2022/3. The Maths School grew to 92 students in 2023/24, 102 in 2024/25, and over 120 in 2025/26, with our largest intake of around 80 Y12 students.”

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
