Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £494,073 for the year, resulting in unrestricted funds moving from a surplus of £255,283 to a deficit of £238,790. The trustees acknowledge that reserves remain below their stated policy target of 50-70% of annual income, attributing this to deliberate investments in premises, IT, and staffing. Despite the deficit, the trustees believe that improved admissions and a growing school roll will allow reserves to rebuild over the medium term.
