- “In May 2025, the Governors confirmed a strategic decision to transition from the existing Diamond Model structure to a fully co-educational structure, starting September 2026 and completing September 2027.”
- “In June 2025, planning permission was granted for a redevelopment of sports pitches and parking arrangements at the Fenham site, including a full-sized all-weather pitch.”
- “Post year end, on 27 March 2026, a refinancing took place in which the existing bank loans were repaid and replaced with a new £9.5m loan.”
