Significant events
- “Reid Street Primary School joined the Trust in October 2024.”
- “EVAT was awarded the contract to build and run a new special free school in Darlington in Spring 2024. However, Government spending reviews undertaken since the general election in summer 2024 have meant the project did not progress to construction in the 2024/25 academic year.”
- “The Trust appointed a new Principal for Whinfield Primary School in the spring term of 2024/25 and a new Principal for Haughton Academy in the summer term 2025.”
- “Haughton's Childrens Centre was transferred to the Trust in September 2025. This is now being operated as Beaumont Hill Academy College.”
- “On 1 October 2024, Reid Street Primary School transferred to The Education Village Academy Trust.”

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
