Trust overview

1 of 13 schools report staff costs above the DfE's 78% review point. Staffing ratios reflect phase mix, curriculum and local context as much as efficiency.

All 13 schools with reported data hold reserves at or above 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 3 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 11 of 13 schools.

12 of 13 inspected schools meet the expected standard or above.

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.
