THE KING'S SCHOOL WORCESTER DEVELOPMENT TRUST 

The primary activity of the charity is to provide financial support to the charitable purposes of The King's School Worcester. It aims to do so mainly through the generation of funds from which significant bursary grants may be made to enable pupils to attend the School whose families would otherwise be unable to affords for them to do so.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years
  • There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
  • The Board appears to be dynamic in terms of composition

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • Although this charity works with volunteers it does not have a Volunteer Management policy
  • The Board is predominantly 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 recently and was significantly lower than spending in the latest year
