“Trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that Trust will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “Following the introduction of Health and Digital T levels we have celebrated well above the national average achievement rates for our first cohort at Richard Taunton, with St Vincent opening T Level provision from Sept 2026.”
• “St Vincent Special Education results show an improvement in retention from 91.5% in 23/24 to 95.9% in 24/25. Achievement rates also improved from 88.8% in 23/24 to 90.5% in 24/25, the smaller increase caused by a decline of 2.7% in Pass rates.”
• “Due to improved revenue surpluses and cash flow the trust was able to repay the loans in full in July 2025.”
• “During 2024-25, the Trust has continued to invest in essential equipment including critical IT equipment and student facilities. We welcomed the grant for T levels Specialist equipment and are using the funds to invest in high quality equipment to facilitate the learning experience of T Levels students.”
• “This year, we invested in the development of a new People Strategy, informed by two comprehensive staff surveys, to ensure our approach reflects the needs and aspirations of our workforce.”

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
