“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the academy trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “Due to the legacy of Covid and uncompleted SATS, progress measures are unavailable for the Year 11 2024-25 cohort.”
- “The school, this year, has experienced in influx of students from other local schools, which has placed an additional pressure on the Learning Support and Student Support teams.”
- “Attendance concerns increased during this year, in part due to the large number of students (30+) that were included within the school's roll but did not attend.”
- “Due to large changes in school staffing over the previous 3 years, the school reviewed its vision and aims with the aim of reaffirming its core purpose and priorities for the next academic year.”

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
