| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 69.1% | 53.0% | |

Significant events
- “Following the imposition of VAT on private school fees with effect from 1st January 2025, the Trust is now registered for VAT and school fees for the spring 2025 term were invoiced and paid inclusive of VAT.”
- “The impact both of the covid pandemic and Brexit on those looking to enter the educational and care sectors has resulted in a challenging recruitment market, and this together with restrictions on local authority funding has impacted our aspirations to develop an integrated lifelong learning model.”

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
