The accounts state that the College reported a net deficit of £1.0m for the year ended 31 August 2025, resulting in a reduction of free reserves to £3.6m. While this figure is below the trustees' target range of three to twelve months' operating expenditure, it remains above the absolute minimum threshold of £3.0m.
