The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Significant events

• “The Year 2024/2025 was another year of development, with the following significant achievements:”
• “External providers used to enhance the curriculum in areas of the school including a visit from a farm, reptile experience, museum visitors, Dinosaur experience, Planetarium and dance and drama workshops”
• “Curriculum reviewed to ensure we meet statutory duties”
• “Collaborative work with other schools”
• “Successful fundraising events which were all well supported by parents/carers and extended family”
• “Staff Professional Development plan adapted to meet the change of needs in school”
• “From1st September 2025, Crosshall Infant School joined Meridian Trust and the school is continuing to operate as a part of Meridian Trust. For this reason, the trustees do not consider Crosshall Infant School Academy Trust to be a going concern.”
• “Over recent years, the Trust has been impacted by a falling pupil roll. This has meant that the Trust has been dealing with significant financial constraints. In addition, it has become increasingly clear the Trust is not benefitting from the opportunities provided by being part of a larger organisation such as collaborative practice and economies of scale. Therefore, the decision was made to join a Multi-Academy Trust. The selected Trust was Meridian Trust and Crosshall Infant School joined them on 1st September 2025.”
