Financial review
The results for the year are shown in the statement of financial activities on page 11 and show net
incoming resources for the year of £23,769 of which £967 is restricted and £22,802 is unrestricted.
This result together with the rese￿eS brought forward of £185.961 (2023: £181,261) gives a total year
end reserves figure of £209,730 {2023: £185,961). Of this amount £157,371 12023: £139.573} relates
to free reserves (not included within restTiCted or designated funds} and this is in line with our reserves
policy. Designated funds totalled £44.694 (2023: £39.69)) and restricted reserves totalled £7,665
(2023.. £6,698).
Our principal funding source is eamed in￿rne from students and se(x)ndary is a small amount of
grant funding for specific projects to support our diverse youth programme. Students also support our
work with donations.
Policy on reseThes
We hava designed the SchLX)I's reserves policy to ensure the School can deliver its charitable mission
to enrich people's lives by nurturing and enabling their creative spirit. It r8sponds in parbcular to the
School's dependence on eamed income as our main supply that also supports our fvnded courses. It
also recognises the risk of serious disruption to inix)rne. the dFfficult current dimate wnditions and the
need to cover seasonal fluctuations in income by operating a healthy cash flow. On this basis the
trustees have decided that it will be prudent to aim to keep a minimum three months average running
costs. on average £135,000. as a General Reserve. £157.371 is currentEy held in free rese￿es, which
is deemed sufficient in lighl of the policy.
Designated funds support our all-inclusive policy of (xjltural engagement with young people. This
includes local youth through regular open access classes and inclusion projects for young people who
experience barriers to engagement. In addition fijnds are designated to support the School's
continuous driv8 to invest in the development of better systems and procedures, increase brand
awareness and to grow a nurturing team that enables students to have high quality, creative
experiences that are valued.
Investment policy and objectives
The trustees regularly review the cash held by the charity and whilst maintaining access to funds for
operational purposes. wtll Pla￿ any surplus funds in an interest bearing deposit account when
appropriate.
We are committed to ethical investing avoiding banks whose investments are at a detriment to dimate
change issues wherever possible.
