ASPECTS A SCHOOLS PARTNERSHIP LTD

To remove barriers to learning and advance the education of children and young people for public benefit in Bishops Stortford, Sawbridgeworth and surrounding villages by providing family support.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years, despite a decline more recently
  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Why are there only 3 trustees?

Financial issues to consider:

  • There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
