Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity streamlined the movement of funds in 2025, with bursary funds going directly to St James Secondary School and other funds routed via the diocese. The trustees note that they have not taken on any new bursary girls and that school fees and supplementary assistance are consuming funds at a huge pace. They also mention struggling to gain receipts for auditing purposes due to the divergence in how funds are sent.
