“The trustees consider that unrestricted reserves of between three and six months’ expenditure will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding or exceptional expenses, the charity’s current activities will be able to continue while considering ways to raise additional funds. On 9 November 2020, the trustees adopted a reserves and budget policy aimed at returning the school’s free reserves to a minimum of three months of expenses by 2025/2026” — page 6
