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
Computed from the line items above — sparklines read oldest → newest
| Ratio | Trend | 2023-08-31 | 2024-08-31 | 2025-08-31 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Net margin | — | 2.2% | -0.1% | |
| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | — | 14.7% | 13.7% | |
| Current ratio | — | 2.29x | 2.47x |
Margins divide P&L lines by turnover. Gearing is liabilities over total assets. Current ratio is current assets over creditors falling due within one year. Interest cover is operating profit over absolute finance costs. Sector-distribution context coming next.
Audit & accounting basis

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- 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, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The main financial risks and uncertainties facing the school include rising payroll costs due to nationally agreed pay increases and higher national insurance contributions, as well as increased energy costs and general inflationary pressures. An additional concern is the potential decline in post-16 student numbers, driven by increased competition from local colleges and decreasing enrolment in feeder primary schools.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
