Significant events
- “A key strategic decision during 2023/24 was to reconfigure the two schools with the transition point to the College moving to 11+. This was a return to the pre-1946 structure. A key driver was the educational and pedagogical benefits of centralising all specialist teaching at the College. The decision also ensured the optimal use of staffing and resources for the benefit of pupils.”

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
