Trust overview

4 of 26 schools report staff costs above the DfE's 78% review point. Staffing ratios reflect phase mix, curriculum and local context as much as efficiency.

26 of 26 schools hold reserves below the DfE's 5% reference point.

Trust-average reserves have fallen about 3 percentage points over two years of published returns.

Absence is at or below the national average in 15 of 26 schools.

9 schools report persistent absence above 20%, a level the DfE prioritises for additional support.

24 of 26 inspected schools meet the expected standard or above.

3 of these inspections used the new Report Card framework; its scale is not directly comparable with legacy grades.

Generated from published DfE and Ofsted data — year-end snapshots that cannot show in-year plans, restructuring or local context. Reference points are DfE review thresholds, not judgements.
