Significant events
- “Solar panels were installed at the end of 2023/24 representing phase one of a project to reduce the cost of electricity at the school. LED floodlights were also installed in the summer of 2024.”
- “The school has expanded in size over the last six years such that there are now over 180 students in each year group, having increased from 150 per year group. The size of the school's dining room remains the same and the priority for the school is now to increase the size of the indoor seating area. Planning permission was received in October 2025 and contractors have been appointed. The building work is expected to commence in January 2026.”

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
