- Affirmed
“Whilst the Company's budget forecasts looking forward indicate the Academy Company has sufficient resources to pay its debts as and when they fall due, there is still some uncertainty around the Academy Company's financial position beyond August 2026, given the uncertainty regarding admissions, financial challenges in the sector and concerns about certain school deficits, although actions are being taken to address these deficits.”
Significant events
- “In April 2025, in partnership with Birmingham City Council, we opened a resource base for children with Special Educational needs at Guardian Angel's Catholic Primary School.”
- “In September 2024 we held our third annual OLAAS MAC Thanksgiving Mass at Olton Friary. We also celebrated with a Long-Service Award presentations with 8 OLAAS staff awarded for their 25-years of service.”
- “Key focus on Year of Jubilee Pilgrims of Hope which was launched in January. This has included opportunities to pray together, opportunities for children and young people to actively work together.”
- “During this period, we continued an extensive capital programme of refurbishment at several of our school sites, most notably St Peter's secondary school where the building programme for a 6 classroom new build block and a new MUGA pitch has been completed.”
- “In September 2024 we entered in partnership with one catering provider, following a complete tendering of all our schools catering contracts and provision arrangements.”
- “This year also saw the process of transitioning our MIS support to BromCom, which proved an initial challenge but has since progressed more smoothly.”
- “John Henry Newman Catholic College joining the Company in October 2024.”
- “The Academy Company has appointed a Chief Information Officer from 1st September 2025. He is undertaking a baseline audit of Cyber Security. An internal audit of Cyber Security is also taking place in Autumn 2025 which will help to assess the level of compliance and further recommendations for improvement.”

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
