Significant events
- “A successful CIF bid awarded in May 2025 resulted in the replacement of the heating system in the Tower Block, there had been persistent leaks from the ageing pipes and a full replacement was required to ensure the building was safe and heated appropriately. Work commenced in July 2025 and was scheduled for completion in the Autumn term.”
- “A second successful CIF bid was awarded in May 2025 to replace fire doors in line with the recommendations on the fire risk assessment. Due to the timely schedule for ordering the materials, these works will commence in the Autumn term.”
- “A bid was also submitted to the Woffston Foundation to support the upgrade of a classroom from an IT suite to a Science Lab.”
- “The Academy's extracurricular programme is extensive and well established. A significant number of boys play sport at both school and county and regional level. Rugby, football, cricket and water polo are strengths. Approximately one third of boys are learning a musical instrument.”

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
