“After making appropriate enquiries, the board of trustees has a reasonable expectation that the School 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.”

Significant events

• “The academic year 2024-25 saw 1,365 students on roll which included 270 in the sixth form and this means we remain in the highest quintile nationally for secondary school size”
• “Our GCSE and A level results attainment scores were again very strong. The attainment 8 score is improved from last year but we saw no Progress 8 score this year as the cohort had not sat the national tests at the end of Key Stage 2.”
• “At GCSE there were 83% (up from 76%) of students who achieved 4+ in 5 GCSEs or more including English and Maths. Our GCSE results now place us as the top performing non-selective school in Wiltshire with a particular highlight that 9 out of 10 children gained a grade 4 or above in English last year”
• “Our A level students performed well and maintained a B grade average which has now been consistent for 3 years. We saw the top grades reduce in line with the national picture but remained very strong in all other areas and measures (A*-C)”
• “The school is now in the 12-month window of the new Ofsted inspection cycle.”
• “The school has seen a drop in the Year 7 entry figures for the last two years, a drop in the sixth form Year 12 numbers also has had an impact on funding.”
• “In September 20025 the school see Year 7 reach PAN and Year 12 to be 150+”

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
