Academies in a trust don't hold money on their own: MOTHER TERESA CATHOLIC ACADEMY TRUST can move money between its schools. The DfE doesn't publish this school's share of the trust's central reserve for this year, so the reserve shown is the school's own.
A 2023-24 return is published too, but it covers part of a year or leaves out the income or reserve figure, so the latest complete year is shown.
