Trust overview

3 of 14 schools report staff costs above the DfE's 78% review point. Staffing ratios reflect phase mix, curriculum and local context as much as efficiency.

13 of 14 schools hold reserves below the DfE's 5% reference point.

Trust-average reserves have fallen 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 above the national average in 9 of 14 schools. Attendance tracks intake and local circumstances as well as school practice.

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

All 13 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.
