The course year started with 24 students and ended with 20 students completing the course. After the Autumn term, five students dropped out due to a change in their personal circumstances. One student joined during the Spring term 2025 and will be completing the course in Spring 2026. Another student, who had joined mid-term in Spring 2023, completed the course in Spring 2024.

On 4th of March 2025, James Robson (from Oak Hill) was teaching on "Deuteronomy".
