Significant events

• “Heyford Park Free School joined on 1st November 2020 and was renamed Heyford Park School. During the 23/24 financial year two further schools joined; on 1st November 2023 Fritwell CE Primary School and on 1st December 2023 Cropredy CE Primary School. West Witney Primary School joined the trust on 1st April 2025.”
• “The financial results of the EPA Trust show a 11% increase in expenditure in 2024-25. Total expenditure for the Trust increased by £2,663,037 to £27,490,910 (2024:£24,827,873). This was due to expenditure on staff costs, maintenance and energy consistent with income received.”
• “The Trust's income increased by £10,092,097 to £34,024,754 from £23,911,262. Taking out one off income such as capital grants and donations (£1,050,779) and transfers on conversion (£8,184,014) income increased to £24,789,961 from £21,753,023, a rise of 14% or £3,036,938. This is mainly due to the revenue income arising from grant funding and other income.”
• “The increase in cash for the trust in the year of £826,327 (2024: £254,247 decrease) was mainly due to efficiency savings and the acquisition of a new school and the nursery of an existing school.”

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
