Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“After conducting appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Trust has sufficient resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future. However, careful management of budgets and reserves is essential due to uncertainties related to external factors, including but not limited to, unfunded salary increases, fluctuations in gas and electricity prices, and future government funding. The Trustees acknowledge that the reduction in cash reserves is a concern. Nevertheless, this is being actively managed through rigorous cashflow monitoring and strategic financial planning. The trustees have also announced to staff that a reorganisation across the Trust will be required to ensure the financial stainability of the Trust. The Trustees are currently reviewing the structures of all schools, with any actions required being implemented for the start of the new academic year in September 2026. Despite these uncertainties, the Trustees are satisfied that the Trust's forecasts indicate it will remain a going concern for the foreseeable future.”
