Significant events
- “The Trust operates East Norfolk Sixth Form College Academy which offers courses for students aged 16 - 19 servicing a catchment area of east Norfolk and north Suffolk. It has a student capacity of 1,800 and had a roll of 1,774 in the individualised learner record for the 2024/25 academic year.”
- “This year the College has again continued to build on our Holiday Activities, providing physical activity and hot meals to over 1,800 children on behalf of Norfolk County Councils Holiday Activity Fund.”
- “Student numbers in 2024-25 increased versus the previous year. The number of DfE funded students reported in the Individualised Learner Record (ILR) was 1,774 (1,671: 2024).”
- “Other significant financial events for the year included the commencement of a CIF project to replace 50% of the boilers across the estate (approximately £700,000).”
- “As part of this plan, during the period, unrestricted funds of £1,500,000 have been designated for the new facility and other smaller capital projects.”
- “The Trust has now opened the 3G pitch to the wider community and have secured planning to build an adjacent facility which will include changing rooms and showers for the pitch use. We hope to commence building this in 2025/26.”
- “The Trust has achieved a significant saving in utilities costs throughout the period further to the installation of solar and battery systems coupled with a rate reduction, saving c.£100,000.”

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
