## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

St. Edward’s School Club became a registered charity in November 2007. It is managed by an Executive Committee made up of the Trustees and volunteers. These are elected on an annual basis at the AGM, which is held in January. All parents of children attending the club are eligible to become members of the committee. 

The Constitution of the Club was approved on the twenty ninth day of January 2007 

The Executive Committee have met once every school term, in accordance with the Constitution. 

## **Financial Review** 

A copy of the Club’s audited accounts is attached. 

The Charity’s only source of income in 2020/21 was the fees paid by parents of children who attend the club. 

During this financial year the club accounts show a deficit of £8,220 

The Club policy with regard to reserves is to maintain these at a level not exceeding £10,000 (ten thousand pounds). This sum is held in an interest paying deposit account. 

These reserves are held to cover an emergency, such as a sudden decline in demand for places, where income would not match expenditure. Interest from this account and any end of year surplus from the current account are used to improve facilities within the club and the school. In 2020.21 the club did generate a deficit of £8,220 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The Charity's objectives are: 

- (A) TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY FACILITIES FOR THE DAILY CARE, RECREATION AND EDUCATION OF CHILDREN DURING OUT OF SCHOOL HOURS 

- (B) TO ADVANCE THE EDUCATION AND RECREATIONAL FACILITIES. 

During the financial year 2020.21 the club has provided care facilities within the school for 156 pupils who are registered with the club. During morning sessions a maximum of 40 pupils are catered for and an average of 28 attend. After school a maximum of 60 attend and it is unusual for attendance to drop below 50 _**.**_ 



Children enjoy a wide range of sporting, craft, play and ICT activities as well as support with homework. During the afternoon sessions they are provided with a snack, usually, toast or sandwiches, fruit and a drink. In the morning sessions, the children can have breakfast if the parents request this. Throughout the year the Charity has continuously updated and replenished resources but no major capital investment in facilities or equipment has taken place.
