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

- “Abbey College, Ramsey was awarded a one-form entry (FE) expansion in 2025.”
- “The school secured Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) funding for critical infrastructure projects: Oswald Building structural repairs: £2.38 million; Boiler replacement on the south site: £1.76 million.”
- “The on-site Community Building was vacated in March. CCC has proposed a £2 million refurbishment to convert it into a Sixth Form centre and offset the loss of north site teaching spaces.”
