“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of Directors has a reasonable expectation that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Financial forecasts have been prepared for the three years 2025/26 to 2027/28 which indicate that the Academy Trust will be able to finance its activities out of existing reserves.”
Significant events
- “The new vision is for BPS Trust to merge with Bishop Konstant Academy Trust and some of the academies in St Gregory the Great to form a new Education Trust of 46 academies. This will strengthen Catholic Education in the diocese. The aim is for the merger to complete in the next 12 months.”
