MUNTHAM HOUSE SCHOOL
Financial health, per its FY2023 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net surplus of £617,983 for the 17-month period ended 31 August 2023, driven by income from charitable activities and donations. Unrestricted reserves rose to £2,652,377, which the governors confirmed was consistent with their policy and at a level they feel comfortable with, despite noting that inflationary pressures have constrained the ability to increase reserves at the previously required rate.
What the accounts disclose
“The School Governors have set a Reserves policy which operates with a maximum level of reserves (based on the cost of closing the school's liabilities with the exception of LGPS exit liabilities in a worst case scenario) and a minimum level of reserves (based on operating with no income for a period of six months).” — page 18
“The Charity had a wholly owned non-charitable subsidiary, Muntham House Enterprises Limited. This company has been inactive since 2018 and is now closed.” — page 12
