Significant events
- “The Academy has purchased indemnity insurance to protect Trustees and officers of the Academy Trust from claims arising from negligent acts, errors or omissions occurring whilst on Academy business.”

- “The Academy had a roll of 1,290 in the school census on 16 January 2025.”
- “Academic achievements included: Six Gold medal winners in the RSB Biology Challenge; two Gold, two Silver and three Bronze certificates in the Biology Olympiad. The Bee Keeping Club had a successful honey season.”
- “GCSE results were also very strong. There were significant increases in results in both attainment (Attainment 8 = 7.43) and progress measures (estimated Progress 8 = 0.92, measured using Alps/FFT data analysis with Year 7 CAT4 benchmark instead of KS2).”
- “The General Annual Grant fund is in deficit at the year end totalling £1,041,566. Over the course of the year this has reduced by £94,477.”
- “The Trust has successfully gained a place on the School Rebuilding Programme ("SRP") in July 2023.”

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
