Significant events

During the summer of 2025 the Trust invested £150k into a capital project to create an internal "Alternative Learning Zone" to enhance the physical spaces available to SEND and vulnerable learners. Other additional expenditure was incurred in Catering, External Alternative Provision, Structural Repairs & Maintenance and Medical Needs Recoupment.”

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
