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.
Earlier years come from this school's return before it became an academy (a different DfE number).
