“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

• “On 1st September 2024 Rangeworthy C of E Primary School joined the Trust. It has been a very successful first year for this Sponsored Academy with the school now under strong and stable leadership with outcomes significantly improving at the end of this academic year.”
• “In May this year, Iron Acton C of E Primary and Hawkesbury C of E Primary received their Academy Order to join SFAT. This is a significant achievement for the Trust as we now have schools in two different Local Authorities and two Diocese; Diocese of Gloucester and Diocese of Bristol. The schools are expected to join the Trust on 1st December 2025.”
• “Work continues on the expansion project for Severnbanks Primary School with £5.17 million being agreed by Gloucestershire County Council. It is hoped that planning consent will be granted and building work commenced in the summer of 2026. The school will move to become two form entry in September 2027.”
• “Bream Early Learners requested to become part of Bream C of E Primary School. Trustees agreed that this was important for the families in this area of deprivation and would enhance early years education within Bream. Unfortunately, considerable difficulties agreeing a suitable and sustainable lease with Gloucestershire County Council are stalling this worthwhile project.”
• “St Helen's C of E Primary and St Mary's C of E (South Gloucestershire) have both received conditional consent from the Diocese of Bristol and we will be moving forward with an application to the Department of Education to join the Severn Federation Academy Trust, these schools are expected to join the Trust in Spring/Summer 2026.”

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
