THE ARCHBISHOP TENISON'S SCHOOL (CROYDON) DEVELOPMENT TRUST
Encouraging and distributing parent/carer contributions to support school building maintenance and development projects, equipment purchase, and any other projects approved by the school governors
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted reserves total approximately £63,200, which exceeds the stated policy target of £30,000 (two years of maintenance grant payments). However, the charity notes that regular income is decreasing and expenditure is out of balance, requiring new efforts to solicit funding from external sources to maintain operations and fund building projects.
What the accounts disclose
“This annual sum accounted in 2025 for around 90% of the current normal regular income of the Charity.”
“The policy for minimum reserve amount is to cover 2 years of maintenance grant payments (£30,000) to give time to respond to any major and sudden loss of income.”
“The Trustees believe that, based upon the statements set out above, as at 31/12/2025 the Charity is in a position to continue as a going concern. However, new efforts will be needed during 2026 to solicit funding from sources other than parents and carers not only for regular annual expenditure but also for a number of larger building projects.”
“Some trustees are also donors to the trust, giving a total of £500 in the year. The trustees do not use their contributions for any influence and in any case the amount given in 2025 is not material to the trust income and expenditure.”
