ST PETER'S COLLEGE (OTHERWISE KNOWN AS WESTMINSTER SCHOOL)

Westminster School is a public boarding school for young persons. The aims encompass this object and have been extended over a number of years to accommodate day pupils and girls. It now educates children from 7 through to 18 and aims to widen access as much as possible. It also aims to provide excellence in sporting and extra-curricular activities, notably artistic, musical and social skills.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from a grant maker
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

There are 19 trustees whereas the Charities Commission recommends a maximum of 12

Financial issues to consider:

Liquidity appeared to be considerably in excess of CC guidelines at the latest year end especially considering the historic stability of income
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending

Established: 60 years
