Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the Academy is in a financially vulnerable position with a deficit of £50,000 in restricted and unrestricted funds, citing rising costs and unfunded pay increases as significant risks. Despite this, the Trustees believe the going concern basis is appropriate because the majority of income is secured via Government grant funding for at least 12 months. The Academy has no free reserves and relies on cash flow monitoring to manage short-term variances.
