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
  • 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:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • 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
