Significant events

- “On 1st February 2025 Greenmount Primary School and Old Hall Primary School joined the trust as convertor academies and commenced their activities on transfer from the Local Authority.”
- “The Memorandum and Articles of Association... were updated again in August 2025 to the latest version to reflect the change in company name.”

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
