| Ratio | Trend | 2024-08-31 | 2025-08-31 |

| Gearing (liabilities / total assets) | 5.1% | 2.4% | |

“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “In September 2025, St Martins 3-16 School was hit by an accidental fire which caused significant damage to the main hall and dining room. For a short period students and staff worked remotely, before returning to site in early November 2025. The repair work will be covered via the DfE's RPA scheme.”

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
