The 13th annual Academies Benchmark Report highlights that rising costs have outstripped income, pushing nearly 60% of Trusts into financial deficits, depleting reserves, and slowing growth—particularly for smaller Trusts.
The report also showcases the sector’s resilience, with some Trusts boosting investment income, reducing carbon emissions, and navigating financial pressures through strategic cost management.
