Significant events
- “The Academy received an ungraded Ofsted inspection on 23-24 April 2025. Inspectors found that the school has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection, when it was judged to be good for overall effectiveness.”
- “The raw figure for attendance for the academic year was 93% (up from 91.7% in 2023-24) with a PA figure of 16,1% (down from 21.9% in 2023-24).”
- “Our exclusion rate for 2024-25 was down 21% from 2023-24 at 108 fixed term suspensions and we had zero permanent exclusions.”

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
