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
Ratios

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 board of trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Academy achieved Level 5, the highest possible grading, in the Computing Quality Framework's audit of our computing curriculum - the only primary school in the country to do so.”
- “The Academy has established 'The Nest' - a pastoral support room with 3 members of staff trained to deliver interventions to enable pupils to moderate/understand their own behaviour, communication and emotions.”
- “We have also established a higher level special needs support room called 'The Hive'. Pupils with EHCPs are taught in this dedicated room according to their bespoke curriculum and personal development needs.”
- “The Academy acknowledges the potential loss of funding should the Government introduce 'free' breakfast clubs as a universal primary school entitlement.”
