- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Price Bailey LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Earlier commencement of 'Catch-up' sessions, specific interventions and 'booster' sessions in order to achieve maximum results, particularly at end of key stage 2.”
- “A wide range of sports and clubs in school so that there is 'something for everyone', most of which are provided by our own staff.”
- “Introduction of public speaking within the school.”
- “A low staff turnover and where staff have left the school, they have been replaced with staff of high expertise.”
- “Completion of Asbestos Survey and Management Plan undertaken in January 2025.”
- “Replaced three sets of old-fashioned sliding doors to meet safeguarding and fire-safety requirements.”
- “Replaced classroom carpets and decorated specific year groups”
- “Removal of wooden outdoor educational classroom”
- “Replaced sliding doors in key classroom areas”
- “Shades added to roof of hall to stop too much light entering”
- “Roof replaced on wooden section in between Year 5 classes”

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
