Significant events
- “The school was undergoing a major-building programme and moved into a new £25 million pound block at the end of the academic year in readiness for starting in the new building in September 2025.”
- “At the end of August 2025, the school celebrated significantly improved exam results with positive improvements in both Attainment 8 scores and the number of the highest grades achieved.”
- “The Trust has in the last several years experienced exceptional levels of disruption with building works and school closure which have had an impact.”
- “One of the main factors identified that may potentially affect the Trust's financial performance relates to the critical incident declared in November 2022.”
- “Following an Ofsted Inspection in January 2024, the school's inspection grade changed from requires improvement to Good.”
- “The appointment of a new Headteacher from September 2025 alongside the opening of our long-awaited Phase 1 block will assist in positively relaunching the school.”

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
