ST BENEDICT'S RC HIGH SCHOOL FUND 

The vast majority of the funds in this account relate to funding we receive from our Diocese to use for capital building works in and around the school and spending on computers. The rest is school uniform related/fund raising by pupils for charitable causes/school parties/small donations etc.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received Government grants
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 3 trustees
  • The Board is completely female
  • Over half the Board have joined recently

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Accounts have been filed late on 3 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period
  • Income has been volatile recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
