MANOR LODGE SCHOOL

The provision of primary education to children from all backgrounds to enable them to advance to the secondary school of their choice, and the provision of means-tested bursaries to those who would otherwise be disadvantaged by their parents' inability to afford our fees.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received Government grants
Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period
There have been no income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
