Trust overview

6 of 37 schools report staff costs above the DfE's 78% review point. Staffing ratios reflect phase mix, curriculum and local context as much as efficiency.

37 of 37 schools hold reserves below the DfE's 5% reference point.

Trust-average reserves have fallen about 6 percentage points over two years of published returns.

Absence is above the national average in 25 of 37 schools. Attendance tracks intake and local circumstances as well as school practice.

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

32 of 37 inspected schools meet the expected standard or above.

2 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.
