- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees has a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The Trust undertook a restructure of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), effective from 1 September 2025, moving from the previous traditional Headteacher model that had been in place since the Trust was formed in 2016 to an overreaching single Executive Headteacher model across the 3 schools.”
- “All three schools have been the subject of graded inspection's by Ofsted over the last academic year. Banham in October 2024 and Bunwell and Thompson in May 2025.”
- “Nick O'Dell (a founding Trustee having been involved since 2016) retired in February 2025. The Board is indebted to Nick for his wise counsel over nearly a decade of service and wishes to formally put on record our gratitude for his unwavering commitment to the Trust.”
- “The Board welcomed the addition of Laura Grant to the Board in November 2024. Laura is a co-opted Trustee and as she has no children in any of the schools is a truly independent voice.”

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
