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

“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 RPA provides indemnity cover for Trustees against liabilities arising from negligence, default, or breach of duty. The cost of RPA cover for the year was £29,950.”
- “This year we have invested in more IT upgrades, had some of the grounds re-tarmacked and installed air-conditioning units in the school hall.”
- “Our Parent's Association, who are a separate charity in its own right, raised funds by a selection of activities, including second hand uniform sales, raffles, and theatre trips. £15,527 was received in donations for this.”
- “Some of these reserves are going to be spent on purchasing the two minibuses that are currently leased.”
