Significant events
- “The Multi Academy Trust operates two academies, Featherstone High School and Woodlands Academy, for pupils aged 3 to 19 with admissions on a non-selective basis, serving the catchment areas of Southall and West Ealing. Featherstone High School had 1777 students on roll in the October 2024 census with a capacity of 1800. Woodlands Academy has a capacity of 240 students and had a roll of 187 in the October 2024 census.”
- “In the school's last Ofsted report (2024) it was deemed Outstanding in the following categories: Quality of Education; Behaviour and attitudes; Personal development and Leadership and management. In addition, the Sixth form provision was deemed Good.”
- “During the year ended 31 August 2025, there was an overall surplus of funds (excluding pension adjustments and depreciation) totalling £682,089 (2024: Surplus of £338,788).”
- “The latest actuarial report highlights a decrease in deficit for both Woodlands Academy (£272,000) and Featherstone High School (£nil) for the year ended 31 August 2025.”
- “Woodlands Academy consulted to reduce to 1 form of entry from 2019-20 due to a fall in roll. Three-year budget plans are continuously reviewed to ensure going concern, and this will continue for the foreseeable future.”

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
