Going concern

Affirmed

“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Directors has 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 Trust operated with ten academies from September 2022, increasing to thirteen academies during the Financial Year 2022/23, for students aged 3 to 16 serving a diverse catchment area covering Cumbria and North Lancashire. The Trust grew to 16 schools at the beginning of the Academic Year September 2024.”
• “As a maturing Trust, the Directors and Executive Leadership Team have redoubled their efforts in 2024-5 to meet the socio-economic challenges our schools face and to raise standards. The disastrous inspection outcome of St Margaret Mary has driven many rapid changes in the Trust and ensured a review of all practices.”
• “Sacred Heart relocated once more to temporary KS1 buildings constructed on their home site in the Spring term. Preparations for moving KS2 to temporary modular buildings constructed on St Bernard's site were undertaken for their move in September 2025. Outcomes rose in 2025 whilst all the building distractions were taking place due to staff commitment and energy in difficult circumstances.”

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
