Trust overview

5 of 16 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 16 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 2 percentage points over two years of published returns.

Absence is above the national average in 10 of 14 schools. Attendance tracks intake and local circumstances as well as school practice.

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

All 16 inspected schools meet the expected standard or above — Good or better under the legacy framework, or Expected standard or above under the Report Card.

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.
