Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that total funds decreased to £7,620,000 from £7,793,000 in the prior year, driven by a net expenditure of £173,000 which included a significant £1,299,000 impairment charge on programme-related investments. Free reserves stood at £1,622,000, representing approximately 1.5 times the net operating income, a level the trustees consider adequate to meet liabilities as they fall due. The charity remains dependent on rental income from tenant schools, with the financial situation of Lycée Churchill described as fragile due to declining enrolments and economic pressures.
