BISHOP WORDSWORTH'S TRUST 

Parental contributions to help enable the school to provide additional resources in support of excellence in education.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • There are only 4 trustees
  • The Board is completely male

Financial issues to consider:

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