METHODIST ACADEMIES AND SCHOOLS TRUST

In the name of the Methodist Church, to oversee support and guidance for Methodist schools in the maintained sector and (jointly with the Church of England) ecumenical schools in providing the best all-round education for all their pupils, inspired by Methodist values and ethos and resourced by high quality professional expertise.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
