CITY OF LONDON SCHOOL BURSARY TRUST 

Providing bursaries to meet the fees of the City of London School for any boy who has gained admission to the School but who would not otherwise be able to afford the fees
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
