Significant events
- “A significant focus during 2024/25 has been on the delivery of the Free School project for pupils with severe learning difficulties in the London Borough of Hillingdon.”
- “Demolition of the original building was completed, and construction of the new 180-place Free School commenced. The Trust anticipates occupation of the new site in January 2026.”
- “George Hastwell School joined the Trust in January 2025 and received an Ofsted inspection just prior to this in November 2024.”
- “Cumbria Academy for Autism (now Branthwaite Academy), which joined the Trust in November 2023 following a period of significant challenge, continues to make steady progress.”
- “Grand Union Village and Pinn River School (on the site of the old Grangewood school) will open. At the same time Sunshine House setting will close and pupils and staff will move to Pinn River.”

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
