Significant events

- “Our July 2024 OFSTED Section 8: This short inspection validated our last full inspection and our internal SEF findings. We are pleased with the external OFSTED judgement.”
- “There are significant plans to continue to review the state of the fabric of the building and a rolling refurb/ redevelopment and improvement plan is in place.”

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
