WALTON LEIGH SCHOOL PARENT STAFF ASSOCIATION 

The object of the Charity is to advance the education of the pupils at Walton Leigh School, a school for children with severe learning difficulties, by providing facilities and equipment which are not provided by the local education authority or the school and seeks to achieve this objective through encouraging the joint participation of the school's staff, parents, pupils and the local community.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • This charity does not have a Conflict of Interests policy
  • There are only 3 trustees

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 2 occasions over the last 5 years and the current period appears to have been extended
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
