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

“After making appropriate enquiries, the Board of Trustees have determined that that there is no material uncertainty that casts doubt on the Trust's ability to continue as a going concern and are content that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.”
Significant events
- “Heyford Park Free School joined on 1st November 2020 and was renamed Heyford Park School. During the 23/24 financial year two further schools joined; on 1st November 2023 Fritwell CE Primary School and on 1st December 2023 Cropredy CE Primary School. West Witney Primary School joined the trust on 1st April 2025.”
- “The financial results of the EPA Trust show a 11% increase in expenditure in 2024-25. Total expenditure for the Trust increased by £2,663,037 to £27,490,910 (2024:£24,827,873). This was due to expenditure on staff costs, maintenance and energy consistent with income received.”
- “The Trust's income increased by £10,092,097 to £34,024,754 from £23,911,262. Taking out one off income such as capital grants and donations (£1,050,779) and transfers on conversion (£8,184,014) income increased to £24,789,961 from £21,753,023, a rise of 14% or £3,036,938. This is mainly due to the revenue income arising from grant funding and other income.”
- “The increase in cash for the trust in the year of £826,327 (2024: £254,247 decrease) was mainly due to efficiency savings and the acquisition of a new school and the nursery of an existing school.”
