“The Charity Commission defines free reserves as unrestricted funds less the amounts invested in tangible fixed assets. On this basis, the School has zero free reserves which is common for schools which have to finance their own capital investment plans. The Governors consider that, given the strength of the charity’s balance sheet, its stable cash flow and the ongoing popularity of the School, underpinned by the available banking facility which can be called upon if need arises, there is no current need to build up a free reserve.” — page 7
