Trust overview

All 15 schools with reported data have staff costs below the DfE's 78% review point.

14 of 15 schools hold reserves below the DfE's 5% reference point.

Trust-average reserves have fallen about 2 percentage points over two years of published returns.

Absence is above the national average in 9 of 15 schools. Attendance tracks intake and local circumstances as well as school practice.

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

12 of 15 inspected schools meet the expected standard or above.

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.
