- “The national success this year has been remarkable. Four coveted national finals resulting in three even more coveted national titles! Congratulations to the Jazz band on their two wins this year and to the concert band on what completed a hat trick of wins in Warwick.”
- “In January, Mr Milton and Mr Platford's musical extravaganza 'Sister Act' took the Wrekin stage by storm, captivating audiences for four consecutive nights.”

- “In the summer, the school welcomes a German Summer School to the site in an inaugural programme of friendship camps.”
- “A project to replace the servers for the school was completed in the year.”

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
