Significant events
- “The presence of Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) was identified in the structure of the roof at Katherines Primary Academy which has meant that the majority of the main school building has been out of use for the 2024-25 Financial year.”
- “Following the year end, the Academy merged with TMAT trust, which resulted in 3 primary schools joining NET Academies Trust. The following schools joined the Trust: - Tany Dell Primary School - Fawbert & Barnard's Primary School - Harlowbury Primary 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
