“The Trustees consider 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
- “The Trust was successful in its application for a Special Free School which has experienced significant delays to capital planning and is now hoped to open in January 2028.”
- “Extensive site improvements took place over 2024/25. Deployment of SCA funding has supported this as well as some reserve designations.”
- “In 2025/26 there will be the development of a SEND Hub at Bursar Primary and a SEND Unit at Christopher Pickering. Both of which will undergo some building re-modelling.”

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
