Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported a small surplus of £19,000 for the year ended 31 August 2025, driven by buoyant pupil numbers despite significant cost increases. However, the completion of the Coley Centre project utilized free reserves, resulting in a deficit on free reserves of £265,389 at year-end. The trustees consider the financial position strong with no borrowings and forecast that surpluses will allow reserves to return to the target level.
