“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”

Significant events

• “High student numbers across the schools continue to provide healthy funding across the Trust and enable significant investment, demonstrated through the extensive estate development programme during the year. Financial challenges that have arisen following the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing SEND demand and general economic factors have been met without requiring additional financial support from the Department for Education (DfE).”
• “SST opened its sixth form for the first year with 97 students on-roll, broadly in line with planned numbers.”
• “The three primary schools inspected during 2024 and evaluated through a 'Section 8' inspection were subsequently inspected under a 'Section 5' inspection in summer 2025. All three schools were awarded an 'Outstanding' outcome.”
• “The new Ofsted framework for inspection, marking a significant change from the previous framework, will be implemented and embedded in the autumn of 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
