Trust overview

With 2 schools, trust-wide averages move materially with a single school's results.

All 2 schools with reported data have staff costs below the DfE's 78% review point.

2 of 2 schools hold reserves below the DfE's 5% reference point.

Trust-average reserves have fallen about 21 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 2 of 2 schools. Attendance tracks intake and local circumstances as well as school practice.

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

All 2 inspected schools meet the expected standard or above — Good or better under the legacy framework, or Expected standard or above under the Report Card.

1 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.
