GREAT ARLEY SCHOOL PTFA 

Our aims are to raise money to assist in the provision of equipment, resources and improved premises for the benefit of pupils with a range of special educational needs. Great Arley School has 101 children on role aged 4-16 years. By pupils, staff, parents and friends working together to raise money we can provide the best environment for pupils to achieve their maximum potential.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received modest backing from a grant maker

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • 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
  • Spending has fallen significantly over the last 5 years relative to the previous period but has stabilised more recently
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
Established: 11 years
