Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. 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
- “Funding - the financial impact of future changes to funding levels from the DfE/ESFA as there is no assurance that Government policy or practice will remain the same. There is increasing concern of the impact of the cost of living crisis, energy bills that are set to soar, the increase in employer national insurance contributions and unfunded salary rises from the Government are likely to increase this risk dramatically in the coming year and our ability to budget into the future much more problematic.”
- “staffing - teacher recruitment and retention;”
- “admissions - pupil numbers in an increasing competitive education landscape, lower birth rate and demographic dip in the number of Catholic families particularly in the smaller schools of the MAT;”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
