- “July's summer performance was Aladdin and saw the whole school coming together to rehearse and perform.”
- “Events such as the PTA Christmas Bazaar, Summer BBQ and the bi-annual Spring ball (joint with Riverhead) have brought the wider Amherst community together and raised funds to support the school.”
- “Key Stage 2 SATS exams were sat in May 2025.”

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
