Significant events

- “Our results for all students are the best we have ever had and prove that teaching is significantly improving in school. Our Progress 8 has increased consistently and sustainably over the last 6+ years. The Progress 8 score in 2023-24 increased even further and ranked us in the top 1% of schools nationally with a score of +0.9.”
- “On 25th November 2021 the school received a routine Ofsted Inspection. The school was again judged to be good and there was recognition of the significant and rapid improvements over the previous years.”

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
