Significant events
- “Staff pay awards which have been announced in July 2025 for teaching and associate staff are above the predicted pay awards the College had budgeted for. This is due to the current inflation rate which also affects the costs for running the College. This will impact the college and action will have to be taken to avoid setting a deficit budget for future years.”
- “Uncertainty created by the increased costs being incurred for new National Insurance contributions of 1.25% from last year. This, plus the increase in pension contributions means that the college may have to take action regarding staffing levels in order to avoid setting a deficit budget for future years.”
- “The increase in the College's energy cost over the next few years means that the college may have to take action regarding staffing levels in order to avoid setting a deficit budget for future years.”
- “The College's Astro Turf facility is nearing the end of its lifespan. Funding needs to be reserved in order to replace in the very near future.”

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
