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

“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, the Trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “This year has seen the installation of 18 EV charging points to support the School's sustainability ambitions and help the staff and wider community to switch to EVs.”
- “Recent government guidance surrounding the concerns regarding Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) prompted us to have a survey carried out, which thankfully shows none present.”
- “The School has installed 18 electric car charging points for staff and commercial let use, and has begun to explore the possibility of solar panel installation.”
- “With the ever increasing risk of cyber attacks, the School has invested heavily this year in improving its cyber security protocols in order to fortify our defences against potential threats.”
