Trust overview

With 4 schools, trust-wide averages move materially with a single school's results.

All 4 schools with reported data have staff costs below the DfE's 78% review point.

1 of 4 schools hold reserves below the DfE's 5% reference point.

Reserves above 20% of income in much of the trust — public data does not show whether this reflects planned projects or accumulated headroom.

Trust-average reserves have risen about 4 percentage points over two years of published returns.

Every school with reported data balanced its in-year budget in the latest return.

Absence is at or below the national average in 3 of 4 schools.

All 4 inspected schools meet the expected standard or above — Good or better under the legacy framework, or Expected standard or above under the Report Card.

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.
