PENNTHORPE SCHOOL TRUST LIMITED

Provision of education to pupils aged between 2 and 13.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity is not recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid according to its latest published return
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • Liquidity appears to have been slender at the latest year end but unrestricted reserves are available
