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 board of trustees continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.”
Significant events
- “Following significant investments over the past few years, the trust is focused on rebuilding the reserves back to a planned level, for future projects.”
- “During the academic year, The Southwater Junior Academy (SJA) pursued a number of options for association, joining or creating a Multi Academy Trust (MAT).”
- “It was decided by the SJA Trust to abandon the project and remain operating under our current arrangements as a single academy trust.”
