Significant events

• “RAAC concrete was identified in a teaching block housing eight classrooms, part of the school library, the IT services team offices and storage space and other offices in the summer of 2023 and the school was instructed by the Department for Education to close the area with immediate effect. Temporary classrooms were installed on site in 2025 to provide extra capacity and this project is managed and funded by the DfE.”

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
