- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Directors has a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.”
Significant events
- “Academic year 2024/25 was a year of consolidation for Leeds Diocesan Learning Trust (LDLT), with no schools joining the Trust during the year.”
- “The Trust also undertook a major structural change with the amalgamation of Holy Trinity Infants and Juniors, responding proactively to falling pupil numbers linked to the national drop in birth rates.”
- “Roecliffe CE Primary School has faced ongoing financial challenges since conversion; a revised staffing model has been implemented from September 2025 to support a return to financial sustainability.”
- “Holy Trinity Federation's deficit position is linked to the strategic amalgamation of the Infant and Junior schools to form a new primary school from September 2025.”
- “Sutton CE Primary School identified significant structural issues in its largest classroom, leading to an overall deficit after only a DfE loan was approved for remedial works.”
- “After the year-end, it is expected that Windmill CE Primary School will convert to academy status and join the Trust, subject to the completion of the required regulatory processes and DfE approval.”
- “Holy Trinity Infant & Nursery CE School and Holy Trinity CE Junior School formally amalgamated to become a single primary school (Holy Trinity CE Primary School) with effect from 1 September 2025.”

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
