Council of Management Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024
The Council of Management presents its report and financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2024.
l. Object of the Charity
The Charity is a registered Company (registration number 200440), incorporated on 16th
September 1924 as an unlimited company and re-registered as a company limited by
Guarantee on 2nd May 1997. The Company has no share capital. The conduct of the
Company is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association. The object of the
Company is to advance education and benefit the community by the provision of grounds
and other facilities for sports and recreation for the pupils of Archbishop Tenison's Schoo1,
55 Kennington Oval, London, SEII 5SR and in so far as that object has been satisfied or
cannot be satisfied for the provision of sports and recreation facilities for other pupils and
members of the public in South London.
The Company met these aims by the provision of sports facilities at the Motspur Park Sports
Ground for the Old Tenisonians, A550ciation Sports Clubs, Kings College School and the
School of Kung Fu. The Company has had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity
Commission concerning public benef it. It is satisfied that the information given in the report,
particularly regarding the activities undertaken when read in conjunction with the charity'5
objects, demonstrates that the requirements to identify public benefit have been met.
Following the closure of Archbishop Tenison's School in July 2023, the Charity will undertake
a review of its Articles of Association but moving forward its focus will shift toward fulfilling
the objective of providing sports and recreational facilities for other students and the wider
public across South London, as originally detailed in Memorandum and Articles of
Association.
2. Management of the Sports Ground
The business of the Company is managed by the Council of Management. The Council of
Management consists of up to nine elected members and has powers to co-opt a further
three members, one of whom shall be a Governor of Archbishop Tenison's School
Foundation. The elected members shall be appointed as follows:
three present or former members of staff of Archbishop Tenison's School,
three former pupils of the school,
three parents of past or present pupils of the school.
Currently the Com consists of Two former pupils from the Archbishop Tenison's School and
three representative from the primary users, li.e. Old Tenisonians Football Association and
Kings College School}.

Due to the closure of Archbishop Tenisons School and the subsequent impact on the Council
of Management a review of its Articles of Association will include the constitution of the
Council of Management.
The Groundsman continues to report directly to the Advisor to the Council of Management.
Professional and maintenance services are bought in as necessary after consultation
between the Advisor to the Council of Management, Groundsman, Treasurer and Chairman
under authority delegated by the Council of Management.
3. The Council of Management Confirmation
The Council of Management confirms that the accounts comply with current Statutory
requirements.
4. Financial Information
The Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2024 show a trading deficit of £14,988 which
has been debited to the revenue account.
5. Review of the Year
The Council of Management reports:
The main users of the sports ground continue to be the scholars of Kings College School
Wimbledon, Old Tenisonians Football Club and the School of Kung Fu. Other user5 continue
to benefit from the high-quality facilities provided at Motspur Park which a Iso include local
youth and adult sports clubs and the general public.
The Company's total income decreased during the year, to £83,442 {2023 £100,217}. This
comprised receipts totalling £16,039 from clubhouse hire, £120 from general grounds hire,
£37,602 from Kings College School and £22,217 from Old Tenisonians Football Club. There
was £104 received in bank interest. Additionally, a grant was received from the Football
Foundation for £7,360 to support improvements to the playing services. The charity is
deeply grateful for the continued support the Football Foundation provides.
The Company's priority is to generate sufficient income to cover the day-to-day costs of
operating the grounds whilst, as a minimum, maintaining the current standard of facilities.
Surplus funds are reinvested into the facilities, either in the PLJrchase of additional
equipment, replacing/upgrading existing equipment or prioritising maintenance. The Council
of Management maintains a "Prioritised Works Schedule", which included the replacement
of fencing, water tanks and other essential maintenance, {i.e. Plumbing and Drain
renovations).
The usual programme of maintenance and renovation of the football pitches and the cricket
square was carried out. Specific funding has been provided by the Football Foundation to
improve the playing surfaces over a five-year period. This is in keeping with the priority that
the Council gives to maintaining the high standard of the playing surfaces.

Last year was the first in which the Pavilion's day-to-day running and maintenance wa5
contracted out. This allows the Groundsman to concentrate on the playing surfaces.
External Accountants, PMC Partnership continue to prepare the financial accounts and as51St
in the production of the yearly reports.
Mr S Johnson IATSSG Secretary) has indicated that he will be standing down from his
position but will stay to oversee an orderly transition to a new Secretary to be appointed at
the next Directors meetin8. Members of the Council duly placed on record their thanks for
his contribution, and efforts to the Charity.
6. The Future Management of The Sports Ground.
The Council of Management will continue to provide all the necessary support to the
Groundsman, in our joint efforts to produce the best possible playing surfaces and
supporting facilities at Motspur Park, and to enable the objectives of the charity to be wholly
met. This will continue to be the prime focus of the Council of Management within the
financial constraints that are faced by the Company.
