ST PAUL'S GIRLS' SCHOOL

Provision of education to girls aged 11-18 by running an academically selective school offering a stimulating and ambitious programme of study with a rich and diverse extra-curricular programme. Bursaries enable a wide range of girls to take advantage of this exceptional education. The School's values and ethos are outlined on its website http://spgs.org/about/ethos/.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
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

Financial issues to consider:

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