Trust overview

5 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.

1 of 26 schools report negative revenue reserves at year-end. A year-end snapshot can reflect planned spend-down, in-trust transfers or timing; the trust's audited accounts give the fuller picture.

Trust-average reserves have risen about 15 percentage points over two years of published returns.

Absence is at or below the national average in 14 of 25 schools.

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

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

5 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.
