Significant events
- “During the financial year 2024/2025, the CEO resigned from the Trust and the DCEO was made Interim Chief Executive Officer in July 2025.”
- “Stanwick Primary School and Redwell Primary School were inspected under Section 8 and maintained their previous "Good" judgement. Newton Road School received a Section 5 graded inspection and remained to be judged "Requires Improvement".”
- “The significant variance between 23/24 and 24/25 are due to the secondary school in the Trust having a major gas leak from October 2023 - June 2024, which resulted in temporary heaters being installed across the school.”
- “During the year an extra-contractual severance payment was made to the former Chief Executive Officer. The payment was authorised by the previous Trust Board, following extensive legal advice. However, no notification to the DFE was made nor pre-approval from the DFE received.”
- “Between 2 July 2025 and 18 July 2025, the trust was without an appointed Accounting Officer following the departure of the Interim Accounting Officer.”

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
