Significant events

• “Since Easter 2024 we have been exploring the future of the trust and settled on four options: continue as we are as a small trust, join forces with a Church of England MAT in the local area, join forces with a local community MAT in the local area or join a national level MAT. ... it was decided to explore merging with another trust which we have been doing over the past year. There has been some involved discussion over a long period resulting in a trust commitment to work together to explore a merger with Learning Partners Academy Trust.”
• “Enlighten Learning Trust, Learning Partners Academy Trust and Learning Partners Church Academy Trust are working on merging together. Although negotiations and discussions are taking place, the merger is still subject to formal due diligence and Department for Education (DfE) approval (NB the Guildford Diocese Board of Education (GDBE) gave their approval in November 25). If approved, the merger would result in Enlighten Learning Trust's activities, assets and liabilities be transferred to Learning Partners Academy Trust during academic year 26/27.”

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
