Answer: We have not yet received any accounts or annual reports from the Academies Enterprises Trust.The Academies Enterprises Trust comprises Greensward Academy, Maltings Academy and New Rickstones Academy, which opened in September 2008 and Clacton Coast which opened in September 2009. For the Academies that opened in 2008, their first annual report and accounts will cover the period 1 September 2008 to 31 August 2009. The Trust would then have until 31 December 2009 to get their audited accounts to us. For the Clacton Coastal Academy, audited accounts are due with us by 31 December 2010.Once finalised, the accounts will be in the public domain and will be published on the Charities Commission's website.
