NEW SCHOOLS NETWORK 

The New Schools Network is an independent charity that aims to improve the quality of education, particularly for the most deprived, by making grants to schools and trusts within the state sector that are driving impactful educational innovation in areas of educational disadvantage.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • Reserves management has been consistently within official guidelines
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board is predominantly male
  • The Board has little diversity in terms of age

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • 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
miles
